Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Photography/Archive 2
WP:FOTO just about photos, or about articles about photography as well?So is Wikiproject Photography solely about getting better pictures on Wikipedia? Or is it also about improving photography-related articles -- say Shutter speed or Aperture or Pentax K1000? Do others think that it would be useful to have such a Wikiproject? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iknowyourider (talk • contribs) 18:16, 17 June 2007 UTC

I've been taking notes, wondering if there's a future for the project or not... the problem is that there's so there's loads to do. I fugured a summary would help. I'm not going to be too active over the coming weeks, so feel free to edit this list:
That seem s to be about it. As I say, add/subtract as necessary. If there's enough interest now, we can really get the project moving. If not...

NauticaShades 15:11, 13 September 2007 (UTC) Organizing photo requestsI'm very glad to see a revival of this project taking place! I have spent some time trying to whip Category:Wikipedia requested photographs into shape, but it's a huge job. I put together a proposal for a Photo Request WikiProject which has not received much feedback. Maybe there's interest here in rolling that project into the charter of this one?

Move sub-categories currently under Category:Wikipedia requested photographs by subject to following new sub-categories under Category:Wikipedia requested photographs.

StitchingI don't think I'm alone in having difficulty stitching photos together. I read a few comments on one of recent DIliff's FPCs where some users touched on stitching techniques so I figured I'd give it a go here with my issues. I gave up on trying stitches for a long while, but after hearing about/trying/purchasing PTGui I've taken a lot more. Some common problems that I still can't seem to overcome are:
Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks, Cacophony 07:47, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Scope IssueShould improving articles on photography be part of this project's scope? I felt that this was more in the scopes of Wikiproject History of photography. The general trend seems that this project is now solely for improving and contribution photographs to Wikipedia, but there are some remnants of its former self, such as the template. The template used to classify all articles with it transcluded into a category for articles on the history of photography, and this obviously does not apply to to the pages it is now transcluded on, such as Wikipedia:Requested pictures. So, what is our stand? Is our scope now solely for contributing photographs, or should it include writing about photography? NauticaShades 12:59, 23 September 2007 (UTC) Project name change?I've revived discussion here about possibly renaming the two projects in order to minimize confusion.

Expanded documentation needed for {{reqphoto}}?Would it be possible to have the documentation expanded on this tag, especially in regards to the optional parameters? When adding the {{reqphoto}} tag to Pennsylvania class cruiser, it took me forever to (a) figure out which optional parameters I needed, and (b) what the available categories were. In this case, after an embarrassingly large amount of searching, I eventually figured out that "|military history" and "|in=the United States" were the best options for this article, however it could have just as easily been something like "|naval ships" (there are literally thousands of ship articles in need of photos), "|in=World War I" or something similar. --Kralizec! (talk) 19:36, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
I intend to reorder some of the categories under Category:Wikipedia requested photographs as I also find it difficult to navigate.Traveler100 16:43, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
This needs to be renamed, perhaps in science or in the sciences or something like that? Is it possible to rename categories like this in an automated fashion? Looking at the other cats, most of them have unnatural names and unconventional capitalization. By the way, I want to add a biology subcat here, but what can I call it? Perhaps ditto with 'in biology' or 'in the biological sciences', or 'Requested biological photographs'. Richard001 09:06, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Images, diagrams etcTo me it seems a bad idea to start by splitting things into diagrams, photos, illustrations etc. Often I just want an image, I don't care whether it is a photo or diagram etc. I would rather see all images treated together, perhaps with a colour code or something to show which are photo requests, diagram reqs etc if that is specified. Something like {{reqimage|category name|diagram=yes, photo=yes|Description of request}}. Multidimensional classifications are difficult, but I think this would be better in the long run. A description, as shown above, would also be a good addition to the code of templates.

Ling.Nut (talk) 10:06, 18 March 2008 (UTC) Scope of the project - all images or just the photographs?There has still been no clarification or even discussion regarding the scope of the project. It seems to me as if it is about Wikipedia photographs, as the project name and most material/discussion here seems to imply. But it also says 'images' at the top of the project page. So which is it? I think this important distinction needs to be made. If this is just for photos, a broader project for all images (or even for all media in general) might be a good idea.

Photo requestsThere are two different circumstances in which one might request photos for an article: 1) Requesting photos be uploaded for use in that article , or 2) Requesting photos be added to the article from existing stock (of course, there may not be anything suitable, in which case this would default to 1). The template {{reqphoto}} is unclear on this, though it links to the uploading page with the word 'included', so presumably is exclusively for the former. So what about situations where someone just wants photos to be added to brighten up an article, when they are already available but perhaps the person just doesn't have time or doesn't know the syntax for adding images? The template also seems to imply the article is photo-less, yet some photo requests might be for articles which already have several good images, but another, unique one is requested. Richard001 (talk) 01:48, 29 March 2008 (UTC) Peer review for non-feature-worthy photos?I see there is Wikipedia:Picture peer review but that seems to be for potential FPCs.

Requests for Pictures, Images and PhotographsFor some time now a few people, including myself, have been tidying up the request for photographs and request for images pages and categories. The main goal has been to create some clarity to what requests there are on a particular subject. To this end categories of related subjects have been grouped together and articles containing lists of requests cross referenced to the categories. I have now however reached the point were a major change needs to be made and would like others views on the topic. Basically does the distinction between images and photographs serve any real purpose? I believe not and it is clear from the contents of Category:Wikipedia requested photographs and Category:Wikipedia requested images-other that most users of Wikipedia do not see the difference between an image taken with a camera and a general need for a picture in an article. It should not be forgotten that these categories and list are not there as a classification system for talk pages but to bring article to the attention people so that the request can be addressed. The current situation is that there are two main methods of making a request. One is to add one of a number of reqphoto/reqimage templates to a talk page; the other is to add an imageneeded=yes (or similar syntax to a WikiProject template). See the sub-pages of Wikipedia:Requested pictures for a reasonably complete list and Category:Articles needing images for a few examples . Both these methods have there advantages and limitations. The reqphoto template is useful in that people do not have to try and locate what projects cover the article in question; a complex, time consuming task. The reqphoto also has the advantage you can add more that one subject and location in a single step and once you know the syntax you can use it on many topics. One disadvantage of reqphoto is that some interpret it solely for camera photographs while other see it as any type of image (scan, screenshot, drawing etc.). The main disadvantage however is that the categorization of requests does not match those of WikiProject template image requests, leading to multiple places to watch and misunderstanding by many readers and contributors. The advantage of the WikiProject templates is that they are generally being managed by an active group of contributors; the request has a greater chance of being address, which is the real purpose of all these lists. The disadvantage of WikiProject method is that they are not easily accessible to occasional contributors, even if you find a relevant project it is not always clear if a template exists or not for an image request and what the syntax is. Often the resulting category is not even in the to-do list of the project page. My assessment
Proposal
Questions
Traveler100 (talk) 18:26, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Coordinates for Image/Photo requestsI basically agree with the proposal. I do think that keeping the simple reqphoto template is particularly necessary, to make it easy for editors to slap into a Talk page without studying the varying syntax of each Project template which might include an image-needed option. Here is another suggestion: add an optional coordinates field to the reqphoto / reqimage template, and/or otherwise set up things so that, at the Category page for place-oriented categories, a map may be automatically generated which shows the actual locations on a Google map of all places having coordinates. This would greatly facilite trips to get pics. I myself have just printed out a Google map with sites in Santa Ana, California, in Orange County, California, that is obtained by clicking on "Map of all coordinates" from List of Registered Historic Places in Orange County, California. That provides me a list of all the Santa Ana NRHP sites, about 20 of them, and i will visit as many as i can when i happen to be in that area, someday soon. For these NRHP sites, all of the sites, not just those needing photos, are listed. User:GregManninLB has attempted to integrate this map feature with the reqphoto feature somewhat. See, for example, Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Orange County, California, which includes a "Map of all coordinates" which you can click on to get to a Google map which is intended to show the sites needing photographs. However, the system is not working properly, it shows only 2 sites for the whole county and specifically does not show some sites that I know have "reqphoto" on their talk page and have coordinates in their article page. I don't know how the 2 sites actually get picked up into the map of coordinates. Basically, do whatever it takes to generate actual maps showing the places that need photos, clickable to get to the wikipedia articles that correspond to the places. This seems to me to really offer potential to make the reqphoto system actually work in getting people out there to really take photos. doncram (talk) 22:59, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Howtoreqphotoin in CategoryThe {{reqphotoin}} template is intended for location-oriented photos; asking for a generic photo of an ironing board does not require a location. Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in New York uses {{Howtoreqphotoin|New York|New York}} to emit instructions on adding a page to that category, and displays a GeoGroupTemplate box for display of the locations. There is a delay because it works from a copy of the database. -- SEWilco (talk) 05:55, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

So far as I can tell, FOP applies differently in various countries, and applies to any photo of buildings and/or sculptures in public places. My question: How does this affect the use of such photos on the English Wikipedia? (I suspect this discussion has already been had – if so, perhaps someone can point me to it.) Since most English-speaking countries allow for FOP, do we assume that the photos are available for a free license (assuming the original work – in this case, the sculpture – is likewise eligible) and use them in our articles? Or are photos of buildings and sculptures generally less desirable now that FOP has been incorporated into our thinking about license? – Scartol • Tok 13:21, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

If anything, a professional photographer seems to be generally discouraged from contributing their work. I believe that Wikipedia is missing out on a great opportunity to reach out to professional photographers that want to contribute and should try to make it as user-friendly as possible. Thus, I am suggesting that this project help create a page that would lay out the following: the advantages and disadvantages for professional photographers to upload their images to wikipedia; how to upload image to wikipedia; the advantages and disadvantages to claiming various licenses; how to authenticate your identity if you need to demonstrate that you own the rights to the picture; and wikipedia editors that may help you out if you have any questions and how to contact them.

The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here. If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest.

Some have had them for years, but no one has bothered to remove the photo request template. This makes me sad. It makes it harder to maintain the categories of photo requests, and harder to identify the articles that really need images. Therefore, I hereby call upon you, the editors of Wikipedia, to help me rid the encyclopedia of these unneeded requests! I have instructed PhotoCatBot to search every {{reqphoto}} article for images and add any that it finds to Category:Articles which may no longer need images. That puts the most likely candidates for review in one place for easier maintenance. Unfortunately, a bot can't remove these image requests automatically. Some of the "images" it finds may not satisfy the photo request; some of them are maps, some are icons, some are university crests. A bot just can't tell which is which most of the time. Here is what you can do, dear editor:

Questions for the Project membersI'm in a bit of a quandary. I am associated with a theatrical company and was asked by a regular editor of the Shakespeare project to supply photos of Shakespearean characters, as they are sorely lacking. I did so, and was then accused by another editor on the Taming of the Shrew talk page of conflict of interest!?! So in trying to fulfill a request, I get jumped on. I can take the lack of good faith, but I did posit a number of questions here: [[1]]. I don't want to continue uploading photos if I am breaking some COI rule, so I was hoping for some clarification. I would appreciate some input on that talk page from some editors who are not personally involved on that page.

Popular pagesI have requested a list of popular pages for this project at [3]. --Ysangkok (talk) 15:47, 21 October 2009 (UTC) Photo critique neededCould you please take a look at Wikipedia:Reference desk/Science#UFO identification, and give some photographic critique on the insect pictures I've uploaded. In particular, some photos need cropping whilst others need a choice to be made between several pics of the same thing. Thirdly, please comment if these pics are actually needed, given the quality and abundance of photos already in the existing articles. Thanks.

Oda Mari (talk) 04:42, 6 November 2009 (UTC) Someone here may be interested in taking a look at Vivian Maier which could certainly need some improvement (I have nominated it for DYK). I realize that it may have been premature to write this article before any major publication on her has appeared, but the story about the discovery of her photographs is interesting and has made the news in several countries. --Hegvald (talk) 19:37, 12 November 2009 (UTC) Pageview statsAfter a recent request, I added WikiProject Photography to the list of projects to compile monthly pageview stats for. The data is the same used by http://stats.grok.se/en/ but the program is different, and includes the aggregate views from all redirects to each page. The stats are at Wikipedia:WikiProject Photography/Popular pages. The page will be updated monthly with new data. The edits aren't marked as bot edits, so they will show up in watchlists. You can view more results, request a new project be added to the list, or request a configuration change for this project using the toolserver tool. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know. Thanks! Mr.Z-man 00:36, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
