  • If a photo is imported from another site or has another original name (given by the author) which it is know under on other sites, it is courteous to the author, and practical for online identification, keep it in some form when renaming the file to comply with Commons naming policy. This can of course be disregarded if the original name is highly offensive. In this case I figured we could keep the original like this when I renamed it, but it can be altered if you think it's better. --Cart (talk) 14:04, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I see what you mean about the file name, but that doesn't concern me so much as the comments on the image page. 'Nature always belongs to those who nurture, care and protect it. But the humans have forcefully claimed it theirs and are on a path of destruction: destroying jungles, waterways and evicting the rightful owners, the wild animals.' Of course it's a perfectly respectable position to hold, but I think the place for these comments is on one's personal website or blog or on a social media site, not on Commons.

  • As long as it is quite clear (which it is) that the comment is strictly the author's and not the Wiki-project's, I think it's ok to keep it if it's not offensive. Photographers always have things to say about their photos, and when they become noted, we even quote them in articles. --Cart (talk) 17:53, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
