Line 31:
: Three pictures may be a bit much, two is just right. It's hard to get 1.5 pictures for an average. Just ignore the 2nd picture and not look at it. It's not hurting anything (with the right-justified image). This Rosetta Code task is more about Charles Babbage understanding the computer programs than his analytical engine. I only included the image of the engine because I thought it looked interesting. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 11:21, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
:: It's crowding the BBC BASIC entry, at least on my screen. Also in other tasks we don't include pictures of the people who invented algorithms either. What is special about Babbage is not his mug but the Analytical Engine. Anyway, we could also move the BBC BASIC entry down, but it would leave a rather large gap.

::: On my screen it looks good as is, but if we only have room for one picture my vote would go for Babbage. True, it's the Analytical Engine he's famous for—but this task is more about Babbage the person. "Write a program for <i>him</i> to read."
