Too many images, left-justified images

This article is in blatant violation of Wikivoyage:Image policy#Minimal use of images, both as regards the number of images and their placement on the left side, often across from other images. Veillg1, please edit accordingly. If you don't take care of it, don't be surprised if the images you consider most important are removed tomorrow by someone who does not know this town as well as you do. Thanks.

It would be nice if Veillg1 could comment. To Veillg1, please remember that our guides are designed for travellers wanting to read it offline or in areas where coverage is not great. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 10:11, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your interest in the city of Mont-Saint-Hilaire. Certainly, my knowledge of the city and the Montérégie region helps to deepen the content of the article, and I travel frequently in this sector. After designing more than 25,000 articles as an editor (and journalist), I can conclude that images (photos, illustrations...) are a significant attraction for readers. The images added to the article on Mont-Saint-Hilaire are added value; they were chosen to represent different aspects of this magnificent city. Regarding the Internet connection, this region generally has good Internet access; and government policies (Quebec and Canada) continue to increase widespread broadband access in rural areas.

Veillg1, are you having trouble understanding what SHB2000 and I wrote? You need to be able to understand English sufficiently to participate on this site. You mean to tell us you don't understand what "blatant violation of Wikivoyage:Image policy#Minimal use of images" means? I don't believe that at worst you are unable to use Google Translate or recognize a link and click it. Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:39, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Veillg1, it doesn't matter if the town has good internet access or not, not all travellers will be reading this guide from a place with good connection. Please take the time to read the image policy again, because the now removed left-aligned images do not serve the traveller. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 03:10, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

I made a pass through, corrected a few typos & minor grammar errors & removed a few photos that seemed obviously useless to me. I think more should go. Pashley (talk) 13:57, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

@Pashley. Thank you for the small adjustments to the content. Good for the removal of the photos from the welcome sign (hotel-de-ville) and the panoramic photo at the top of the mountain. Regarding the Mont-Saint-Hilaire station, it is a public infrastructure of great use for travelers (including tourists) between downtown Montreal and Mont-Saint-Hilaire. Since the establishment of a rail link with Montreal, this station has been the soul of the city; thus, a photo of the station seems essential to me in this article. However, perhaps a photo of the station taken from another angle would be even more appropriate. Veillg1 (talk) 15:56, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
