Photo[edit]

What's wrong with this photo?

Is there a problem with this photo? User:Silverojo has repeatedly deleted it from the infobox, without an edit summary and without replacing it with another or arguing for its inappropriateness on this page. I am at a loss to understand this. The picture depicts downtown Fairfield, without representing the town in a false light; it doesn't show an identifiable person doing something embarrassing; and it doesn't depict a local business in a fashion that might be construed as spam. If Silverojo has identified a problem with it, then that problem should be discussed here on the talk page. Ammodramus (talk) 02:39, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I hope this is the right method for communicating...Wikipedia is very convoluted and confusing. I would like to settle this amicably.
I deleted this photo because I honestly believed you were vandalizing this Wikipedia page. The photo depicts Fairfield in an extremely unflattering manner, by showing several abandoned buildings more prominently than the businesses that are thriving.
Even if the photo had not been so unflattering, it is not good etiquette to remove someone else's photo and replace it with your own. ADDING a photo to the page is one thing, but removing my photo was inappropriate. In the future, please refrain from removing other people's images from Wikipedia entries. Thank you.
I have edited the page to include both our photos, which should be satisfactory.

I can live with User:Silverojo's latest edit. I have to disagree that my preferred photo is misleading or unflattering. It shows a main street at least two blocks long, with enough parked cars to suggest that business is taking place there. The red-barn fronted building in the foreground, "The Butcher Shop Inc." is not abandoned; it's also visually different than the typical main-street building in a small Nebraska town, which lends Fairfield a touch of distinctiveness.
I replaced Silverojo's original photo because I didn't think that it conveyed a true impression of the town. It shows a single block, with four unconnected one-story buildings. If I hadn't known otherwise, I would have assumed that that was all the downtown there was, and that Fairfield's business district was much smaller than it actually is.
