You can rename that article yourself quite easily... Copy the contents from Hougomont to Hougoumont and make a #REDIRECT [[Hougoumont]] on the old page. (Also incorporate the references presently on the target page into the header.) Nixdorf 20:30, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for message, and pictures. I'll be waiting so for a nl tag at the end of the page. Though I see you are Belgian...big differnce, I lived in Holland and visited for Belgium for long enough to understand that. Nice galleries in Holland, but...without wanting to spark an internation incident.... Ceoil ( talk) 03:51, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
There are a number of reasons why my picture has more quality than the previous one (taken in bright sunshine but without any black whatsoever). It has to do with the quality of the lens and the camera, the amount of pixels, contrast, sharpness and the improvements while processing the picture in Adobe Photoshop CS5. I hope you are somebody who can be persuaded by arguments. If I can't convince you, check with somebody who knows about photography. No hard feelings though... :-) Thundercloud ( talk) 20:31, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
(After edit conflict) I also agree that the wall is an important component of Gold Hill, but the effect on the composition in Thundercloud's pic is to draw the eye to a point at the foot of the wall's buttresses (where the lines of the street and the wall converge), whereas in the pic in the sunshine the eye is drawn to the line of houses. Also the pic in the sunshine more closely resembles the classic image of Gold Hill, and therefore is in my view also preferable on that account. PaleCloudedWhite ( talk) 21:41, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
I'm not too familiar with Gold Hill myself, so I can't comment on which photo has a better composition. I will say, however, that I think the brighter photo looks better in the page than the darker photo. It's a lot easier to pick out features within the brighter photo. That being said, I think the darker photo is generally superior at full resolution. Could it perhaps be lightened to look better in the thumbnail?

I have to say that I prefer the top image. It is, to me, more pleasing visually but perhaps more importantly, it is instantly recognisable as Gold Hill whereas the lower image is not. The less seen view from the bottom is an interesting one however and I don't see why an article on Gold Hill can't have both. Two images of Gold Hill in an article about Shaftesbury however is too much.-- Ykraps ( talk) 08:22, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
I think the brighter image is the better option for the lead thumbnailed image. I find the wall intrudes a bit too much into Thundercloud's image and is a little bit distracting. There's a collection of images on the commons so I've created a category (which includes Thundercloud's image) and added the link to the article. Barret ( talk) 21:12, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
Many thanks for everyone's contributions on this. If no-one objects, I'll copy this discussion over to the talk pages of the relevant articles, so it's easily visible to future contributors. PaleCloudedWhite ( talk) 08:14, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
