Hi Muhammad

Hi Muhammad, I just noticed that you had uploaded lots of images of Bangalore to Wikipedia/Commons and also living in Bangalore. I just thought to connect with you. Do you know that Wikipedians in Bangalore regularly meet once a month ? Have a look at our Meetup page. The next meetup is on Sep11, 2010. Join the mailing list too https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-in-blr . You are cordially invited to add the meetup. Hoping to meet you soon. Regards -- Tinu Cherian - 07:05, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Re:fungi

I'm assuming they were taken in Tanzania? The first is probably some kind of Polyporaceae, (could be damn difficult to identify precisely) while the second is probably some kind of Lycoperdaceae. More generally (I suspect you know...) the first is a bracket fungi of some sort, while the second is a puffball. I wouldn't want to guess any more precisely than that- try posting them on the WikiProject Fungi talk page, or Mushroom Observer. J Milburn (talk) 16:24, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Picture question

Do you have any specific suggestions for taking a skyline picture across a river, to get it up to FP quality? It would be nice to have that an FP and Davenport, Iowa an FA. Thanks, CTJF83 chat 03:00, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

The picture you linked to is tilted and seems to be cut-off at both sides. The tilt can easily be fixed but I would suggest taking a couple of pictures of the skyline and stitching them together to form a panorama. If your camera has optical zoom then you'd better zoom the maximum possible and take as many pictures required to cover the skyline. Once all the images are stitched, you can downsize the image to the current resolution and you will get a much sharper image. But a compact camera has its limits so I don't know if it would come to FP quality. See for inspiration. You may also want to ask Diliff for advice. --Muhammad(talk) 07:32, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I'll try a panorama picture...also, I'm facing south when I take the picture, what is the best time of day? The sun always seems to be a problem. CTJF83 chat 21:03, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

If you're facing south I think evening time would be better when the sun is at its golden hour. Experiment with different timings and see what you like --Muhammad(talk) 03:39, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Ok, thanks! CTJF83 chat 21:01, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Mafuta_house.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Mafuta_house.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:28, 1 November 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7.
