Talk:Geograph British Isles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I've created a template at Template:Geograph to mark geograph images in Wikipedia... any comments? Ojw 16:24, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
As one of the project creators, I should point out that the real "full" name of the site is "Geograph British Isles" and so this page might be better named "Geograph British Isles Project" Lordelph 09:07, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Geograph image quality
This might better belong under commons:Template:geograph, but has anyone noticed a problem with some geograph images? Take this for example - the brickwork appears to display a Moiré pattern. Are these images being anti-aliased before downsizing? - Crosbiesmith 16:01, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Discussion continued at Geograph and from there to Geograph general discussion. -- RHaworth 20:32, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge with Geographing
As the activity of geographing has no significance outside the context of the Geograph project, shouldn't the two be merged? -- Blisco 11:03, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- After a month of silence I've assumed tacit approval and carried out the merger. Blisco 17:53, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article name
Is there any particular reason why "project" is part of the article name? The project's website is headed simply: "Welcome to Geograph British Isles", and the title bar has the same phrase: the word "project" is only used lower down on the page. I've put a redirect at Geograph British Isles so that either link will work, but shouldn't this article really be there and not here? Loganberry (Talk) 23:36, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Nobody? Well then, would there be any objection to moving the article to Geograph British Isles? Looking at the what links here page shows only a handful of double redirects would need to be fixed. I just can't see the point in having "project" as part of this article's name given that the word is not part of GBI's official name and that Geograph British Isles is not being used for anything else nor likely to be.

- I agree, "project" is redundant. There might be a case for going the whole hog and moving it to just "Geograph", but as Lordelph points out above, "Geograph British Isles" is the official name. I think "project" is just a hangover from the article's original title, "British Geograph Project". Go ahead and move it! --Blisco 23:47, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- I've dropped a note on the project's forums. There are an awful lot of single links in, so it might be easier to leave it be. Espresso Addict 00:02, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

- I agree to move, most of the single links in are from Geograph image pages, changing the template (and then possibly touching those) should clear. --Grand Edgemaster Talk 02:40, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- If the links can be fixed automatically, then I have no objection to the rename. A couple of days' wait would seem polite to give the site members time to object if they wish. Espresso Addict 15:57, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New urban sample image
I've added an urban image to illustrate the project's coverage of the built environment. It's a fairly random choice from the site's weekly competitions, but chosen to contrast with the existing image in style and location (Ireland). Espresso Addict 02:48, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
