Saw your Water Hill Festival pics[edit]

Here is the first festival taken by my son:

https://markandruth.smugmug.com/Music/Water-Hill-Music-Festival-2012/

Very cool, Jim Evans! Thanks for sharing! I don't see anything about copyright on those photos on SmugMug...I'm guessing that he is not interested in freely licensing them and uploading them to Commons, or is he? Michael Barera (talk) 22:08, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know his feeling on copyright, but he won't want to upload them. If you're interested in uploading them I'll ask him? --Jim Evans (talk) 02:27, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds good to me, Jim. Thanks! Michael Barera (talk) 16:11, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Niagara Falls Marriott photo[edit]

Michael, I hope I'm leaving this comment correctly, I've never commented here at Wikimedia Commons before, only at Wikipedia. Apologies if there's an error in the comment. I edited the description of two photos of a Marriott hotel in Niagara Falls because they were inaccurate. Marriott has two hotel properties directly across the street from each other at that location. It's extremely confusing, because one of them has had three different names. The photos from 2010 are both labeled "Marriott Gateway". However, the photos do not show that hotel, which is one block back from the edge of the falls, and is a box-shaped structure. That hotel is currently named "Niagara Falls Marriott on the Falls." The photos actually show the other Marriott next door, the curved one directly on the edge of the falls, the "Niagara Falls Marriott Fallsview Hotel & Spa." There are Wikipedia pages for both hotels and photos of both can easily be found by Googling the names. I wasn't vandalizing the pages for the photos, I was correcting the description of which Marriott the photos show. The photos do not show the "Marriott Gateway," and that hotel no longer uses that name. Best, James. (talk) 21:12, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for my misunderstanding, Jamesluckard, and thank you for the clarification. Let me see if I can fix the categorization for all images relating to those two hotels...I'll touch base with you once I'm done to make sure I've done it correctly. Thanks for your patience and your understanding! Michael Barera (talk) 22:26, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, let me know if you have any questions about which hotel is which, it can be very confusing with two adjacent Marriotts.(talk) 23:54, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your patience, Jamesluckard. I think I have it sorted out now:
Is this correct? Also, what would you think about adding "views from" categories to both of these? Michael Barera (talk) 17:22, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, they all look correctly labelled, excellent job!! A "views from" sub-category for each hotel sounds like an excellent idea!(talk) 19:07, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Jamesluckard! I've created those "views from" categories now:

What do you think? Michael Barera (talk) 04:29, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks great! Makes me want to stay at the one right on the falls, haha! :) (talk) 05:51, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
