Removal of taser photos[edit]

The taser photos were removed because they have no connection to CAP, or Illinois Wing's normal operations. Those are old photos of a tour by a small group of cadets. These are no more relevant to normal operations then if those cadets were touring a shoe factory. They also leave the wrong impression to the casual viewer. The number of members who ever attend such a tour is less then 5% of the membership and only those in proximity to that particular base.

There are hundreds of photos publicly available that show Illinois members participating in actual CAP activities, including the activities noted in the article itself. If photos are necessary, they should be those, and not something as tangential as a tour of a guard facility. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.179.1.43 (talk) 23:17, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The photos are still of the Illinois Wing of the Civil Air Patrol, the subject of the article; therefore, they are relevant and I have reinserted them. The tour was done as an official function of the wing and therefore is fully relevant, irrespective of what percentage of meetings involved such tours. If there are, as you claim, "hundreds of photos publicly available" of the Illinois Wing, you are more than welcome to find them and upload them in lieu of the selected photos; however, blanking out a section of photos that accurately are matched to the topic of the article is not in accordance with Wikipedia's policies.

The do not represent Civil Air patrol, or Illinois Wing operations, and have been removed - AGAIN.

They are pictures of the subject of the article, and, according to Wikipedia's policy on images, are thus relevant. Please refrain from removing the pictures unless you have different pictures to replace them. Et0048 (talk) 02:10, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
