Talk:London Eye
From Academic Kids
The official name for the London Eye is The British Airways London Eye. --Robert Brook
The photographs are a great addition. Thank you to whoever added them. I've been playing with the format (basically making the stations and external links appear below the photos) This should look ok on low and medium resolution screens at least. Can anyone say if it looks ok on high-res screens/other displays used to look at wiki? Pete 10:18 25 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- Hi Pete, I am happy to read that you like my images :-) On my high resolution screen the new format does not look really good, there are some centimetres of empty space before the text goes on... I think there should be a better way, you can also put the images on another place in the article, if you want. I have just thrown them in there, you con reposition them as much as you like.

Re: "Opposite Houses of Parliament" being removed.
- Yes of course in the strictest sense it is not opposite the HoP. In the sense of trying to make a helpful article though, it is basically opposite, especially on the scale of the River Thames, which flows for twenty miles through central London. If a reader is sufficiently clueless about London to not know where the London Eye is, then a reference to County Hall is hardly likely to be helpful, though one about the Houses of Parliament might be. Thus I made a partial revert.
- Oh and finally, the river runs north-south at that point, not east-west as suggested in the summary comment :). Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 12:07, 31 May 2004 (UTC)
Photos
Does nobody have a nice daylight photo of the whole wheel for the lead image? On a related note, this page is getting a little overburdened with images, so it will soon be time to move some into a gallery section. -- Solipsist 18:30, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Done! - Adrian Pingstone 19:22, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Maybe it would be useful if I summarised where I've put my own London Eye pics (from a short holiday in London two weeks ago):
- Views of the wheel - London Eye, South Bank and Observation wheel.
- Views from the wheel -Hungerford Bridge, Lambeth Bridge, Waterloo Bridge, Westminster Bridge, Palace of Westminster, River Thames and St. Margaret's, Westminster - Adrian Pingstone 19:42, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- That's great (and quick) - thanks. I've now rearranged the photos and moved some to a subpage so that they don't outweight the text. I hope you approve. -- Solipsist 21:15, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Fine by me. Thanks for setting up the new page - Adrian Pingstone 22:13, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
