Wrong section - not quartz variety edit

Why is melanophlogite listed as a quartz variety? It is not a quartz variety, but a completely separate mineral species. Eudialytos (talk) 16:13, 27 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Image duplication edit

I've removed the duplicate structure image - why do we need the same image in two locations, essentially side by side? Vsmith (talk) 11:36, 14 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Crystal structure is hightly important in here. So should be in infobox. Then, they are only 'sbs' in wider screens. Mobile, not so. Maybe the section needs rewriting. Per WP:INFOBOX, the infobox should pull its info from the article. -DePiep (talk) 11:44, 14 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Vsmith. And so please revert your non-discussed snarky conclusion please. Didn't you read WP:INFOBOX? -DePiep (talk) 11:50, 14 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Well some folks don't use a tiny screen and redundant images result from poor writing. Yes - I see WP:INFOBOX ... so? Don't plan to revert anything - sorry 'bout that ... please be civil. Cheers :) Vsmith (talk) 12:01, 14 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Vsmith You have not replied to a single point I made. Not re importance, the WP:INFOBOX design & guidelines, reason and couse of redundancy: exactly the answer to you OP. Instead you come in repeating already refuted arguments and adding deviations. You did not hear it (after this es your es). From WP:INFOBOX:

... the purpose of an infobox: to summarize (and not supplant) key facts that appear in the article (an article should remain complete with its summary infobox ignored).

Please reread & reconsider. -DePiep (talk) 08:53, 18 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
So ... adding an image to the infobox which is identical to the image in the adjacent article text is somehow summarizing. I think not. Vsmith (talk) 13:28, 18 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
And if you wish: simply shift the image to the infobox and replace in the article text with a note referring to the infobox image. That would be rather poor design, but at least avoid the side-by-side duplication. Vsmith (talk) 13:37, 18 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Your es says: calm them tailfeathers down mate. I find this abusive, and repetitive even. Please come clean: do you want to discuss, or make jests keeping deaf? (I pont to WP:BRD, WP:CIVIL) -DePiep (talk) 23:09, 18 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Some folks be a bit touchy ... you may "pont" to whatever. I made a good faith suggestion above, what do you say about it? Sorry to have offended ... or whatever. Vsmith (talk) 03:07, 19 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
