Camera articles

Please don't insert personal opinions into Wikipedia articles. Factual contributions, especially when sourced, are welcome. Also, I don't feel that photos of you using particular cameras add anything to Wikipedia; they don't illustrate much about the camera that's not better illustrated by a photo without you in the shot. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 04:25, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My opinions were valid for generalizing about the worth of the camera system. I have a lot of working experience with both Canon AE-1 models. However you could make the case it was subjective, and not as specific as other details in the articles. However I've seen heresay there, which was left intact, which knocked the camera. I happen to know better.

As for my photos which you hastily deleted, in both cases they added value; 1)Another valid picture of the exact model. 2)An actual working model shown instead of a camera which might be basically a paperweight sitting in someone's closet for years. 3)Camera with lens identifed excactly. One of the pictures was actually taken by the camera at hand, demonstating the current results. Most people will not bother to use the actual camera, get the film processed, and get it scanned. I did. That's a lot more effort and that wasn't already in the article. When you add these things up, you have enough worth to justify these picures being included.

There shouldn't be hearsay in the articles at all, actually, but I know it creeps in. As to the photos, I'm not sure if the camera being a working example or not matters to the reader at all - as long as the camera shown is complete and in as good condition as we can find. I stand by what I said that the camera un-obscured by the operator is a better picture for an encyclopedia context, unless there is something particular about the operation that needs to be illustrated - something I'm not sure is the case with the AE-1. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 02:55, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the AE-1s didn't come with any power winders at all, normally. I've never had one for it. So it's stupid to mention a frame rate with it. ParaGreen13 (talk) 06:46, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

However a power winder was made specially for the AE-1; I don't see it hurts to say what frame rate it gives. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 02:51, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please upload photos to commons

Thank you for uploading images/media to Wikipedia! There is, however, another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In future, please upload media there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view images you have previously uploaded by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'image' namespace from the drop down box). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading! -Optigan13 (talk) 05:44, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Anastasiablue.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Anastasiablue.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 16:51, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

October 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Rastus, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. You might think "African-American" is a silly politically-correct word, but "Negro" and "Black", when applied to African-Americans, can cause offense.
