wrong photo for destruction

[edit]

The photo added next to the section destruction is not the Temple of Bel, the photo is the destruction of the Temple of Baalshamin. If the intent is to show ISIL destruction, then I think the caption should be updated to name the Temple of Baalshamin in the image, to not mislead readers. --JScience 14:38, 3 September 2015 (UTC)jcardazzi

Is it appropriate to keep using the destroyed cella's images?

[edit]

I personally don't think it's in very good taste to keep using the destroyed cella's image when referring to the temple, other than in the section when its destruction is mentioned.. The image of the cella is a decieving one from 2010 both pre-civil war and pre-IS. So should we keep using the current image or replace it with another one of the temple's gate, or exterior walls, or other views of the temple not of its destroyed cella?

Regarding your statement about 'good taste', would you also think it is bad taste to show a photograph of a deceased person taken when he or she was still alive? Having a photo of a ruined monument is better than having nothing at all. Bever (talk) 16:53, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
