:: I put that picture in there, and in that proportion, for a reason: Europa as the name of a moon of [[Jupiter]] is at least as important as Europa as the name of a continent. I would, for the same reason, welcome any semi-authoritative illustration of Europa the Phoenician princess as soon as someone wants to write an article about her.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 09:29, 4 June 2008 (EDT)

:::But this is an article about the continent, as you can clearly see because there is a ''different'' article about the moon. The moon is certainly important, but it has its own page. Do we really need an enormous image of a different topic on an article, when that article's text is less than a third of its size?--[[user:TomMoore|<font color="#000066" >Tom Moore</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:TomMoore|fiat justitia ruat coelum]]</sup> 15:14, 4 June 2008 (EDT)

::::Are you really as clueless as the above post suggests? The article itself says that Europa is also the name of a moon of Jupiter. In sum, this is a disambiguation article in all but name. So, ''of course'' that extra image is appropriate. And does not the continent of [[Europe]] have ''its'' own page? No—this is an article about a word that can stand for at least two things and probably three. None of these things is necessarily more important than any other.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 15:27, 4 June 2008 (EDT)
