She carries more than 12 passengers in the professional business, to my opinion - according European rules - she's a ship, not a boat. Better: Passenger ship. --Stunteltje (talk) 00:11, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work

That's a very nice photo indeed of the Union Theological College. Do you have any of the Art Deco Elephant (Burtons) and the Art Deco Bank of Ireland (detail), Sinclairs etc [1]? When I was at the museum ( i just retired) I always thought photography was dismissed (uninformed at best,contemptuously at worst) whilst I was certain that the standard here in Ireland was very high indeed which was more than you could say for the Fine? Art (not all or always).Your wiki platform reflects that excellence.atb Robert aka Notafly (talk) 10:52, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Notafly. Thanks for the kind words.

Very many thanks. I've been in and out of Belfast for 40 years with my then Praktica, Exacta, and various Nikons only taking pics of the obvious and not enough of those. How I regret that. We've lost a lot of buildings and there's been a dramatic social change. No time right now but I have a wants list in the back of my mind Thomas Hyndman's (the naturalist) gravestone for instance. I need to think about the detail.Can I post it here piecemeal?

Categorizing by year and month

Hello. I'm not sure that it is reasonable to categorize every photo by year or even by month. Categorizing criteria should reflect relevant and specific aspects of the photo, not every thinkable circumstance. Do you have some conception why and for what photos to add an year or month category preferentially? --ŠJů (talk) 01:09, 21 September 2010 (UTC) Hi Sju - I think it is reasonable to categorise every photo by year and month, if people wish it to be so. I am not the only person adding this categorisation and it was added to a very large number of countries before I looked at it. This seems to have started with Switzerland where they put in "images/pictures taken in Switzerland in 2008" and added it to all such pages ie all images made in a particular year and month. Others then followed suit - not just me. I think photos by year and month give a brilliant view of the progression of ideas and subjects photographed each year and month, enabling comparisons between them, assessments of relative importance etc. Ardfern (talk) 14:26, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would also like to ask you to stop making edits such as this. People who look for what happened in January 2008 in Switzerland are not looking for images of an old aircraft that just happened to stand in a museum at that date. Date categories should only be added if the date has some relation to what happens in the image. Sandstein (talk) 06:03, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sandstein - I am only doing what others have been doing for years and which seems to have largely been pioneered with Switzerland, so perhaps there are others you should take on too!! You are aware I am sure that the info under the title on the 2008 Switzerland page is: "images/pictures taken in Switzerland in 2008" ie all pictures, not just those you think are relevant. I am not aware of any "rules" about date categories. You might not find museum pictures relevant, but I did and I am sure others will too. The page also contains an image of a plate of food, which hardly fits your categorisation, but I am sure you will take this one up too.Ardfern (talk) 14:26, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

One of your images appears to have become corrupted, you might want to reupload. Mtaylor848 (talk) 20:17, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Copright Police

I have also noticed the increase in this sort of activity, in the first eighteen months on commons I think I had about one of these debates, in the last fortnight I must have had ten! One of the reasons I seldom edit wikipedia now is because of the constant edit wars and the lack of any means to find concensus.

I feel these endless deletion tags are undermining my work and making working on the project very protracted and tedious. Rather than have these debates indefinitely I think we need some sort of guideline based on the thousands of similar deletion debates so that these tags can be removed without the endless ritual of going over the same arguments time and time again.

I had come across the accusations of 'spamming' with the date/month categories with regards to the Netherlands. Personally I think it is necesary to categorise files like this as there is no accurate way to search for images by place/time by any other means. Upload dates and the description can interfere with any search. If this debate is to continue then perhaps a comprimise should be made such as moving the files into a sub-category - say 'Photographs taken in the United Kingdom in November 2010' or similar rather than have the categorisation destroyed by over zealous editors.

Kind regards, Mtaylor848 (talk) 12:49, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great PopMart photos!

I must say, I've very impressed with the PopMart photos you uploaded! Great work! Would you happen to have any Zoo TV Tour photos of yours that you would be willing to share? Y2kcrazyjoker4 (talk) 03:49, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
