Minor misspelling
[edit]Hello, Georgialh! I noticed that File:Carin at Saunders Creek Alberta.jpg has a typo in the first word. I wouldn’t change it on my own initiative, because we’re supposed to correct spelling of proper names only, not minor stuff (and in this case the description & category will expose it to people searching or browsing for cairns regardless). But uploader requests are generally honoured, so if you’d like me to move the file just reply here.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 06:21, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
- Yes. Please do that. Thank you! Georgialh (talk) 01:41, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
Done. Another thing: the poster from the same site could be a problem with regard to copyright, as Canada has freedom of panorama only for buildings and 3-D art, making your photo a derivative work in which your rights are shared with the creator of the map. Any idea how old it is, or if the maker is contactable for permission? Might it have been published earlier on paper, in a local history or the like? In the event the file gets deleted here (I‘m not inclined to challenge it myself) there’s a good chance it can be hosted on enWP under a fair use rationale, once your article is in mainspace, because the poster itself is discussed therein. Anyway, just a heads-up that it might be questioned.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 03:40, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
