	:Fine, but we'll have to be flexible with the gallery as well. There had been occasions when attempts to utilize the gallery system in other parts of an article have been met with a bit of opposition. We can in fact split it up to be moved into relevant portions of the article, associating them better with the text in hand. The problem is lots of vehicle articles have been written with inconsistent layouts, which means we can't simply apply the same gallery split guideline on all articles. I rather we do this on a case-to-case basis because (thankfully), the aforementioned ([[Police Car]], [[Fire Truck]], [[Ambulance]] articles, etc) are more of exceptions and most vehicle articles are fine as they are. We'll have to take into consideration length and the number of available images. - [[User:ZS\|ZS]] 19:56, October 14, 2009 (UTC)		:Fine, but we'll have to be flexible with the gallery as well.

			::That's fair enough. The point of a gallery is to allow us to have loads of images on a page (eg to show every type of [[Ambulance]]). It's not the place where all images MUST go in EVERY article - but if it makes it less cluttered then its helpful. The gallery should be used as an optional alternative, where the normal methods of placing images alongside text are inadequate or inappropriate. We should still illustrate articles with text, and the gallery is there to provide a collection other images where appropriate. That sound fair?
