Photos should be credited

to the photographer who shot them. This is a universal rule. And there are no Wiki rules that suggest the opposite. In the case with the Lipovans, just like with my other photos donated to Wiki, I ask to leave the byline. This is a common rule for any encyclopidia. This is also what the page below asks for

Thanks for your kind understanding and cheers. obraz 10:19, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

No problem. I apologise for the misunderstanding. Kind regards, --Asterion ^{talk to me} 05:36, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

siege at Sarajevo

Do you have more photographs like this? We don't have many Wikipedians who were actually there during the siege, so I'm just curious on the circumstances. How did you manage to get such a vantage point? Did you seek it out, or were you there when the building caught fire? (I notice this was taken from a ruined building, yes?)

Oh, photos should be credited, but they're traditionally credited at the image page. Just for concise captions the latter is favoured, but I don't mind that much either way so it was just a heads-up. Cheers! Elle _{vécut heureuse} ^{à jamais} (Be eudaimonic!) 17:21, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

The photo was taken from the Holiday Inn hotel in Sarajevo where many of the journalists covering the siege were staying. Some parts of the building were also hit previously by shells and sniper fire. I'm sure you've seen other photos from uploaded in Commons. cheers obraz 09:30, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

9th Company

Hi Evstafiev, noticed you changed the cas figures that I got from Carey Schofield's book. Which reference was your source? Cheers Buckshot06 04:52, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

There was an article that I contributed to on http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%91%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D1%83_%D0%B2%D1%8B%D1%81%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%8B_3234 about the actual events. It is based on eye-witness accounts and different book sources published in Russian. I was also in the area, in Gardez back in 1988, when this happened. obraz 16:07, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

What we're after is a better description, caption, date and place for the image, which is to be placed on its description page. MER-C 08:38, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
