Reverts[edit]

(1) Please explain why you reverted the fix of formatting
(2) Please explain what part of the text is illustrated by the image of camera.
(3) Please be aware that for revert wars you may be blocked from editing wikipedia. Staszek Lem (talk) 16:09, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(1) Please explain why you reverted the fix of formatting

Because you removed crucial image for this article. Such equipment is needed because of the long escape distance of some of animals. This article explains, why such equipment is needed and actually this is why it was created. Moreover you mixed European and North American species, what was less important.

This does not justify the wholesale revert of all edits. If you want image back, reinsert the image, but don't revert all edits of other people. Mopreover, I din't mix anything. Each table has its own heading. Staszek Lem (talk) 19:43, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(2) Please explain what part of the text is illustrated by the image of camera.

"escape behavior is also important in birding and nature photography"
Moreover there is no need for such part. Because an image can be additional information, supplementing text, not illustrating it.

Yes, but in this particular case I see nothnig that relate the article text with the image. Staszek Lem (talk) 19:43, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I changed image description, what links it more directly to that article Darekk2 (talk) 21:33, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(3) Please be aware that for revert wars you may be blocked from editing wikipedia.
Probably you too.

Are you able to write yourself something, except destroing someones work ? Maybe could you expand this article, correct English, instead deleting it's fragments ?

Yes, I am. Editing and cleaning up other people's text is just an important work of a wikipedian. And I explained my deletion: I don't see how it is relevant to article content. I do understand that escape distance influences on various things, such as watching or hunting, but you cannot just throw in a picture of a bushman wearing a mask of an ostrich and expect to understand what it means for this article. You have to explain what the reader is expected to look at in the picture. This is encyclopedia, not a work of art. We explain things, rather than letting viewers train their imagination.

I now realize that you are relatively new to wikipedia, that may explain your overreaction. Please keep in mind that you write an article for wikipedia, you must interlink it with more other wikipedia articles and topics. This will increase article visibility, attract more readers, and, what is more important, more editors, especially experts in the area. YOu must also create redirects from other possible article titles, especially the terms you boldfaced in the text (I did this for you already, but you might want to add more redirects.)
