Watermarks

I noticed your comment about some wikipedia photographers have watermarks in their images. I suggest to point them to the following page: [1]. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 05:26, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. We don't see this very much now, but every now and then one pops up. --jjron (talk) 05:47, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bob Holly

Yeah, its a better image than the current one. Go ahead and replace it. Man, did you take a lot of pictures of Kennedy. Are there anymore images that you gave locked in a safe, that you would like to share? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:39, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alright. Any photos you have, you know the "group" would be grateful. Whom did you take pics. of in 2002? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 00:55, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Nice list. If you think they work, then please upload them. I know, unbelievable. But, digital cameras didn't exist in the 1990s. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:20, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Cool. I wasn't even born yet, lucky you. I'm gonna follow in your foot steps. :) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:45, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 08:53, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Photo of Arctic

Hi, thanks for reviewing the featured picture nomination that I submitted. I never nominated a picture before. Could you please tell me whether the original NASA picture has enough pixels, and if so can it be uploaded to Wikipedia/Wikimedia without losing the pixels? The original NASA picture is here. Thanks.Ferrylodge (talk) 16:25, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just thought I'd mention (if you weren't aware) that someone at NASA has kindly responded regarding the Arctic shrinkage pic. See here. Maybe you could respond to him? Thanks, and Happy New Year.Ferrylodge (talk) 19:10, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/December-2007#Womans_eight_person_shells

I saw your comments there and have a couple of questions.
I understand that established users have more credibility. But shouldn't the comment have stood or fallen on its merits? "Womans" is not a word, no matter whether the user who points it out is registered or noob. Not a matter of opinion, but fact. Check the dictionary. Incidentally, the archived not-promoted picture is still incorrect. It says "womens" without the needed apostrophe.
I looked at the FPC criteria as you suggested. They say an article should have a "good caption". Is a caption with a non-existent word a good caption? They don't say that grammar errors are not grounds for oppose, and this is more than a "grammar error", it's a non-existent word. Also, the vote didn't say "Oppose the picture as a FP". It said "Oppose caption". An alert that the caption needs to be changed regardless of the quality of the picture. Wouldn't it embarrass Wikipedia to make this a Featured Picture, or Picture of the Day, and have the world see that the "best" pictures of an "encyclopedia" have elementary language errors? 24.110.24.220 (currently at a different IP) 06:37, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your questions - I will answer here since you don't have an account with your own talkpage (and as you can see above, your IP address can easily change).
  • Yes, the comment can stand or fall on its own merits - that's why I crossed out the vote, not the comment (if you read the top of the FPC page you will see where it says votes of anonymous IPs are disregarded).
  • Have you checked the image in situ, i.e., in its article? As long as the caption is correct there, then that is what really matters (and if you have checked you would see that the caption is indeed correct there). The image description on the image's page should also be correct (if you care to check that you will see that that says "womans", i.e., the error there should be corrected). If there is an error in the FPC archive, that doesn't really matter (who is going through there to check?), but it can be easily corrected.
  • I actually agree with you that the caption should be correct in all facets, i.e., accurate, with correct grammar, spelling, etc. Thank you for your English lessons nonetheless (however I do find that I have pretty firm grasp of the language without them). The point however is that fixing a caption is not an issue - hit 'edit', change womans to women's and hit 'save'; the thing about the Wiki is that anyone can make changes, it does not have to be the person who uploaded the image, nominated, or whatever. Do this and the error is fixed - you are quite welcome to do that even as an anonymous IP, but as soon as it is done you will realise that your complaint is no longer relevant. That's why it's not a good reason for an oppose.
Incidentally, you are correct that womans is not a word, however woman's is - my point being that you are making a big issue out of what was probably a minor grammatical niggle (the nominator I believe is only about 16yo and undoubtedly still coming to grips with all the nuances of the language; help him to improve this, don't condemn him immediately for it).
  • I realise your vote said Oppose caption. That's fine, but not a valid oppose, i.e., you cannot just oppose parts of a nomination. Ultimately the 'vote' on FPC is a Support or Oppose of the image as a whole. You may oppose the image due to the caption, just as you can oppose for many other single reasons, but you can't just oppose the caption (this is not a criticism of you, that's just the way things are done on FPC to keep it simpler). As I said above, the caption is easily fixed (especially when it's just a minor error like this), so opposing the picture just based on the caption is generally not a strong reason, but nonetheless can be done. In a case like that where you want to alert others to an error you can make a Comment (e.g., caption needs to be corrected, 'womans' is not a word), or ask a Question (e.g., shouldn't the caption say 'women's'?), that is if you don't want to simply Oppose completely, or fix the error yourself.
  • Re your comments on FP and POTD. Don't worry about this error carrying over. The FP pages themselves do not contain the full captions; however the description on the image page should be correct. When the FP is going to become POTD the captions are rewritten and expanded by a highly competent user, so your fears about it going on wide display with this error should usually be ironed out long before that happens.
I hope this makes some sense to you. Please create yourself an account if you would like to contribute to FPC or feel you can help out elsewhere on Wikipedia (it's free and easy to do so). Cheers, --jjron (talk) 07:20, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Bearded Dragon

Hi jjron,
Yeah that'd probably be OK (as long as it's better! :P), only thing I might say is that I actually took two new(ish) shots myself: Image:Eastern bearded dragon03.jpg, Image:Eastern bearded dragon04.jpg - but they're not particularly brilliant so yours might well be better. And yes - you need to get the wheels in motion if you're going to keep it your idea! --Fir0002 09:21, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah that sounds good. I don't thing I'll nominate my bearded dragon shots, because as you say they don't have much in the way of wow --Fir0002 08:43, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
