Image talk

Do the world of re-users a favor and give files a descriptive file name so they can be found easily with MediaWiki's search engine. I re-upload the image and it is at Image:WWI - Gassed - John Singer Sargent.jpg.  —Stephen Ewen (Talk) 20:34, 20 September 2007 (CDT)

There are good number of actual photographs available for this at the Imperial War Museum. Some are wrenching.  —Stephen Ewen (Talk) 01:19, 22 September 2007 (CDT)
the photos were not published at the time and did not make an impact. The painting was very widely viewed and did make an impact. It's what's inside people's minds that matters for historians. Richard Jensen 08:02, 22 September 2007 (CDT)

Strange heading for this article

This page is titled very strangely, and might be better used as a section in a page called 'chemical weapons or biological warfare, etc. Separate pages for phosgene and mustard gas need to be made as well. I can help make the chemical drawings. David E. Volk 13:27, 19 December 2007 (CST)

By far the most common term was "poison gas" -- Note this is a general article in which chemistry is a minor factor. Richard Jensen 19:49, 19 December 2007 (CST)
I meant chemical structures for the "phosgene" and "mustard gas" pages, not this one! David E. Volk 22:27, 2 January 2008 (CST)
