Hi everyone, Can we set a rule to avoid adding inappropriate and too many images in an article? Is adding a gallery allowed to stub articles? Thanks. Irvin Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

Hello Tomas,
I believe that adding inappropriate images to articles is considered disruptive across multiple languages Wikipedia and usually a ground for blocking per the blocking policy.
For the WPWP Campaign, what count is the number of articles improved with images not the number of images added to a particular article and there is a general rule https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Pages_Wanting_Photos#Campaign_rules that " The image caption and description must be clear and be suitable for the article." The addition of a gallery to stub articles is a matter of local policy. If a local policy allows it, that's fine but what counts for the WPWP Campaign is the number of articles and not the number of photos in a gallery.
With kind regards
Isaac
