: Should it be beneficial to put dot (period) in the end of Image Title tag's text or ALT text? When I looked in the Google for such data I found only one article that deals with ALT attributes
When I looked in the Google for such data I found only one article that deals with ALT attributes and (if I understood correctly) clues that indeed it is logical to put dots in the end of ALT text especially when it's a sentence; What about Image titles? They seem to me more like an "Entity of itself", though we can easily say it should also contain dots if it's a sentence.
I thus conclude that the criterion should be the natuarility crieterion: If the ALT or Title includes just a name or a phrase (whether it would be comprised of 1/2/3/4/5 words), then a dot isn't needed, but if it's a sentence, than it should include this.
What do you think?

I cannot tell you if image titles are analyzed in search or not. Let's assume the safest assumption. Let's assume it does. We know that image alt tags are.
Where ever possible, where ever it makes sense, there is more value in creating enough semantic understanding as you can meaning that at least a subject, predicate, and object exists. Where ever possible, a full sentence allows for full semantic understanding. Why? Because as we write, we automatically provide the subject, predicate, and object elements along with punctuation which helps to properly cluster these elements.
Simple?
It is always far better to write full sentences, but not a complete show stopper as long as you provide a subject, predicate, and object. Better yet, if you write full sentences, you do not have to think about semantics at all and how it will be understood. You can simply take it for granted.
Short answer? If you are writing a sentence, then make sure it is punctuated properly so that semantic analysis against your sentence can be the best it can be.
