Today I removed two screen shots that had just been added to this article.  While I have argued elsewhere that there is no limit to the size of an article as long as it is clearly organized, that does not mean applying data with a shovel.  The three existing screen shots were already representative of everything in the article's lists, and more importantly, *not everybody has a T1 line and a 1600x1200 monitor*, so screen shots should be used carefully — they take up valuable bandwidth and may even screw up the formatting of a page.  (Fredrik's gallery method can be used in articles which truly benefit from a large number of images, obviously, but I don't think this is one.)    Ryan W 15:59, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

I don’t agree with your removal in this article, at least you should have resized or moved them, for example to show the evolution of the Tower of Babel. Actually (in another article), the gif animation that shows this doesn’t support resizing. I think that these two screenshots are no such bandwidth eaters than galleries in other article.
