By deleting wonders, you have offset the BuildingsLarge and BuildingsSmall files. That would cause incorrect images to be displayed. As for the won_splash_##, that normally only appears if you added a wonder, but didnt code a splash screen for it.

When you removed buildings, your actual building list (the one you see in the Civ3Edit.) and the graphical one (buildings-large.pcx and buildings-small.pcx) didn't match any more.
Back up buildings-large.pcx and buildings-small.pcx in Art\City Screen\
Open up both files with Paint or Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop or whatever.
I've attached an image as it's easier to describe that way. Say, the wonder you removed was Theory of Evolution. Now you cut everything under Theory of evolution (first thing being UN) and paste it so, that UN goes over Theory of Evolution. And that's about it. The left column is "before" and the right one "after".
Now, the wonder splashes are trickier. By removing a wonder, every wonder that was below that wonder in your unit list (the one you see in Civ3Edit) was offset.
If you removed one wonder, you need to go through all the wonders that were below it, and deduct one from their number.
Example: pediaicons.txt in civ3\text\
Backup the file before changing anything.
Again, it's the Theory of Evolution you removed. This is how things looked before you removed anything:
art\wonder splash\UnivSuffrage.pcx
#WON_SPLASH_47
art\wonder splash\dam.pcx
#WON_SPLASH_48
art\wonder splash\Theory of Evolution.pcx
#WON_SPLASH_49
art\wonder splash\un.pcx
#WON_SPLASH_50
art\wonder splash\Manhattan Proj.pcx
#WON_SPLASH_51
art\wonder splash\Cure for Cancer.pcx
This is how you change it in order for the splashes to work:
art\wonder splash\UnivSuffrage.pcx
#WON_SPLASH_47
art\wonder splash\dam.pcx
#WON_SPLASH_48
art\wonder splash\un.pcx
#WON_SPLASH_49
art\wonder splash\Manhattan Proj.pcx
#WON_SPLASH_50
art\wonder splash\Cure for Cancer.pcx
See, the ToE was removed and the wonders below it were given correct numbers.
I hope this helps. I won't swear by this information, but I believe I got it right. Just back up everything!
