Pictures in the notes section

I have a concern with the practice of placing pictures in the Notes column. This encourages readers to upload a picture for EVERY entry in the table, which would result in hundreds of pictures and make the article unreadable for viewers with small screens and slow internet connections. Any objection to me moving the pictures out of the notes column and keeping a few above and/or below the table? Dave ( talk) 19:02, 11 September 2016 (UTC) reply

I don't think that argument has merit, given there are plenty of similar articles to this with pictures for each little entry in a table. However, a better argument would be "they are historical MARKERS". They pretty much look the same, generally (a few odd-balls). If, however, we show pictures of the items the markers are describing, then that would argue for keeping them. Famartin ( talk) 21:35, 11 September 2016 (UTC) reply
Aren't the notes really references for the listing? perhaps they should be in the Marker Name column (after the marker name) and the notes column could be a link to the image (not the image itself). Or better yet, the text from the marker. That would be a long text box, and maybe it would be more descriptive and load faster. Trilotat ( talk) 00:55, 14 April 2017 (UTC) reply
Having the images as 100px links provides the user with more information about the sign, such as reading the actual text. If the images are small, then this should not be an issue. Cxbrx ( talk) 15:47, 11 May 2021 (UTC) reply
