@NebulaNavigator77: We've got way too many images in here now. Some of them are not appropriate, for example we've got Dizzy Gillespie in the Afro-Cuban jazz (cu-bop) section, which is fine, but then we've also got him again in the Afro-Cuban jazz renaissance section. He is not even mentioned in that section, and even if he was, we don't need another photo of him here when we've already got one associated with Afro-Cuban jazz. Even if we did, a photo of him from 1955 isn't appropriate in a section that is about something that happened in the late 1970s.

Also, please do not add pixel params to images. See MOS:IMGSIZE. GA-RT-22 (talk) 04:26, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
