Your photos
[edit]- Actually, what you have added are photos of something without describing what it is, or what it's for. There's also absolutely no reference to the photo or the exhibit in the article. That it why it fails to have any utility. You could just as well have put in a picture of a cardboard box and would add just as much informational value to the article. Wikipedia isn't here so you can just upload random pictures into articles simply because you took them; the fact that you have almost no edits in seven years tells me you just might not be aware of policies. It also isn't anyone else's job to figure out why a certain photo is relevant to an article. You have responsibilities as a content uploader. MSJapan (talk) 23:33, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
@MSJapan:
The reference to the exhibit was placed inside the description of the photo itself. [1] It says "Doppel-Sport Panorama Camera, Dr. Julius Neubronner 1908" in the title and has a reference "Museum icon, This is an photo taken at the museum: FOMU Photo Museum in Antwerp".
And yes, I've been off wikicommon for seven years, this is a coming back after a change in laws in Belgium. Until recently there was no panoramic freedom in Belgium, so I'm going through the learning curve.
I'll check later how to make the missing info more visible, and add the picture again to the page. Because it makes sense to show a picture of the device on the page that describes it. ph.viny gmail (talk) 09:57, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
- Because it should go in the caption section in the wikiformatting for the picture itself. Even your explanation basically made it sound like you took the photo to illustrate the drawing in the article, which didn't mention the camera either. The pigeon being much larger than the camera makes the pigeon the focus of the picture, not the camera.MSJapan (talk) 18:29, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
