Subway photos

Hi, you are adding a lot of photographs on the subway pages. Many of them are poor quality, or of images that add nothing to the pages, such as the LCD sign. All of them have a time/date stamp, which makes them inherently poor quality. Could you please only upload high-quality photographs to pages that already have images on them? Even then, only photographs that add value to a page, instead of showing different aspects of signs/mosaics that are already represented in images. Thank you. --David Shankbone 20:59, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Re:subway photos

I was only adding images to them because I felt there was not enough images in them. Also, most of the pictures I was adding were approved and also uploaded at nycsubway.org, so I thought they would also do good here.

If you object me contributing to the subway pages I will stop

No, I don't object, and I welcome you contributing to Wikipedia. But time/date stamped images are considered "low quality"; I like your interior of the subway car - that was good. But a few were too shadowy, dark or taken through a dirty window. I welcome you to Wikipedia, but only ask you be more discerning with your contributions. Dave --David Shankbone 21:30, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Creating new wiki pages is cool, and I want to tell you I fully agree with the above comments. However, I also want to add that you need to document the information you add. Suggestion: When you're creating subway train pages, look for good references. You learned how to provide references in school, right? Reliable references include books, press releases or other official information from transit authority websites (don't just copy their text; write your own original and then use footnotes to support your original writing). I would think nycsubway.org is a reliable site, but again, it's a source for information - why would you want to just replicate what is there on Wikipedia? Be your own original! 14:56, 16 April 2007 (UTC)Raryel

Your new photos are nice, though if you could in the future turn off the timestamps, that would be better. Also consider uploading them to Commons so they can be used on other projects and placed on the galleries like Independent Subway System. --NE2 18:52, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Jamaica Yard

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Jamaica Yard, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

railfan door

Another editor seems to have placed a speedy tag on this. I have just removed it, and explained on the talk page, but I strongly advise you to improve it right away, because it can not stay unreferenced. As you notice, it is very difficult for stub articles to remain on WP these days, and it might be a good idea to not add them in the first place until you have incorporated references. Best wishes.

Railfan window

Welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as Railfan window) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. If you want to test things out, edit the sandbox instead. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. --Android Mouse Bot 2 08:54, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

How is the RFW nonsense? Error46146 01:37, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

This is a incorrect message by a bot. While the article has issues, it is not patent nonsense. -- JLaTondre 14:17, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:RFW grant.jpeg

Thanks for uploading Image:RFW grant.jpeg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 02:08, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Image captions in infobox

Whenever you add pictures into the infobox for a New York City Subway station (via Template:Infobox NYCS), you can now add a caption for the picture using the parameter "image_caption". See 125th Street (IRT Lexington Avenue Line) for an example. Tinlinkin 21:18, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Subway photography

Hi, I notice you are producing better images of the subways, but there remains a problem: the time stamp. --David Shankbone 19:55, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, editing out the time stamp is the way to go for Wikipedia. Thanks. --David Shankbone 20:11, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

• Instead of just replacing images, it would be better to try to find other places for them on the page. Replaces images just because you took them is, generally, not optimal. For instance, on 63rd Drive–Rego Park (IND Queens Boulevard Line) page, this Image by you adds little, whereas you simply removed this image by me, which adds more than the one of yours I just referenced. --David Shankbone 20:31, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
• If I also may make another suggestion, my philosophy in taking the subway photographs is to try and show the "life" of the subways, and not just staid photographs of walls and signs. I think it makes for better pictures, and has more encyclopedic value. You can contrast what I mean with this photo of a woman walking versus this plain platform shot. And no wall or sign shot will be superior to the life found in a shot like this. --David Shankbone 20:48, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

• I will probably continue to use my flash against the rules until Wikipedia gives me my press credentials, which is supposedly in the works. --David Shankbone 21:05, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Q102 bus.jpeg

A tag has been placed on Image:Q102 bus.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Q102 bus.jpeg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. AEMoreira042281 (talk) 01:27, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Pedal pusher railfan

Ooh, another one. As you see in my personal page I'm more a photographer and bicycler than railfan, but yesterday I took a bunch of pix of stations and a subway yard in The Bronx and intend to upload them next month especially if the Wakefield Yard comes out well.

Re:File:R62a7train.jpeg

You should split the versions of the image File:R62a7train.jpeg between Manhattan-bound and Flushing-bound trains. The Manhattan-bound description still exists on the Flushing-bound version. ----DanTD (talk) 12:50, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Re: Re:File:R62a7train.jpeg

Ah i did not realize that, thanks for letting me know. I do not know how to split it if you can do that for me it'd be great, i just replace the image since I like this one better

Hi there Bill

I have declined this speedy delete as you claim to be the same person as Bill E on http://nycsubway.org. However to boost confidence in this, are you able to either: add a note to http://nycsubway.org that says all of your photos are available under a CC-BY-SA-3.0 license; or ; says that you are the same person as Error46146 on English Wikipedia. Yet another way is to send an email according to WP:Permit that proves permission without revealing your email address. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:29, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

hi Bill. Thank you for your message. Please send an email to: permissions-en@wikimedia.org and leave a detailed note about how this is your image, when you took it, what license you would like to give it etc. etc. Once that permission, called an OTRS, is in, a tag will be added to your image to verify your statement. But please send that email in, it is vital in order to keep your images. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me or any other administrator. Thank you.
