[edit] Reorganization
I've moved the original article that was here and which talked exclusively about panoramic paintings to that title, and moved the article which resided under panoramic format here; I also slightly rewrote both articles and changed the disambiguation page. Simply put, it didn't make sense to have the main article exclusively about panoramic paintings, with an obscure "see also" to panoramic photography at the bottom. Most people who go to this article probably want to read about the latter, and panoramic photo links kept being added to the "panoramic painting" article. So this is now a non-discriminating overview, which could still be much improved.--Eloquence* 21:54, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup.
I broken the article into clear sections but there is a lot of very vague and duplicated content. Megapixie 04:17, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Delete one of the two stitched images?
I think it's redundant to have two stitched photographs in this article. I'd suggest deleting one of them. --Jeremy Butler 12:00, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
It's hard for me to understand how another example could be a bad thing. Thoughts from anyone else? --roguegeek 2006-03-28 10:11am PST
- I guess my thinking is that an encyclopedia should be as succinct as possible. Why use two examples when one gets the point across? --Jeremy Butler 12:28, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
- I see your point. If no one else cares, you can pull it down if you want. --roguegeek 2006-03-29 5:16am PST
[edit] Panoramic Effects
Been debating it for a while and finally decided to remove the "Panoramic Effects" section. It's just not very important and I don't see how relevant it really is to the article. If anything, it should just be mentioned in another section and not have its own section. From looking at the history, I think it may have been someone's attempt to just put up pics of themselves.

[edit] Tools to create Panoramas (stitching tools)
This completely new section about links to stitching tools should IMHO be added to image stitching which is already mentioned above in the article and btw could use some good editing. This Panorama article seems to me more general. The also newly added (and prominently positioned) external link to a personal homepage (Rohits Panoramas) is self promotion by the same person, isn't it? Is it ok to sort the external links alphabetically and discuss maybe the last one? Can I move the newly created section to the other article? Looks like redundant information here. -- Einemnet 13:45, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for that update Einemnet. I have reverted the changes that Mordani made. I also noticed he added three of his panoramas to the Featured Pictures list so I have reverted these as well. I left a message on his talk page about this. I'm not sure that an extended list of programs to create panoramas is necessary, but yes, I agree that it would be much more suited to the image stitching article. In fact, the articles Panorama and Panoramic photography could possibly be merged, with some of the information transfered to image stitching. We would need to get consensus for this first.
