::Yes, galleries get overused. It's the word "[[wikt:random#Adjective|random]]" that is totally unhelpful: it doesn't appear in the guidance for a reason, because it has way too many meanings, none of which apply here. I've kept the link to [[WP:GALLERY]] with text that makes sense. And again, [[MOS:IMAGERELEVANCE]] is already linked here, in the bullet "Don't add images that are not relevant." It doesn't warrant more than one bullet. —[[User:Swpb|<u>swpb</u>]]<sup>[[User talk:Swpb|''T'']] [[Wikipedia:Beyond civility|go beyond]]</sup> 14:06, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

An old but very infrequent Wikipedia contributor here, hoping to raise something that has annoyed me about Wikipedia for a long time. I cannot find it mentioned anywhere, but that might be due to my lack of skill in searching, so my apologies if this is already being discussed somewhere.
I find it very annoying that many[citation needed] Wikipedia articles feature images that are ''not ''refered to in the article text. As a reader, this sometimes leaves me puzzled as to why an image is there at all, and sometimes also means that the image fails to have the correct context to make it a valuable addition to the page. As a reviewer (I personally seldomly review anything) I would also imagine that having a non-referenced image raises the same questions. My proposal would be that a "DO" in this list is to make sure that the image is referenced in the text.
