[edit] Bus images

Hi, as I have an interest in transport and have contributed to several articles on bus operators/manufacturers/types on Wikipedia, I've noticed that you have added many images to several such articles. While they are of very high quality and very interesting, the problem is that Wikipedia is not a photo album and articles on buses are not going to be just read by enthusiasts. Images on Wikipedia are used for illustration, so while one or two photos showing a few models in a range, different colour schemes/types shows the user what's being talked about, several images of what is essentially the same thing really appears as overkill. There are other websites out there such as fotopic etc. that provide a space on the internet to display photos, and a link can always be added to these sites in "External links". --Ayrshire--77 18:56, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi DP5480,
You may want to consider uploading a copy of the images to the commons. This allows an album to be set up on the subject of the article, and allows the use of image on different languages of Wikipedia.
If you need assistance in doing that, let me know on my talkpage. :)

For your convenience, I'll transferring the images for you. - Mailer Diablo 03:42, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Which is now complete. Do upload your future photos to the commons. And please don't forget to include a summary and a suitable image copyright tag as usual, to avoid them getting deleted. :) - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 08:14, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
Meanwhile I suggest (at least at a limited way) to cut off some of his photos in Wikipedia. It is just a bit disgusting to see every photo in every (Hong Kong related) bus article is having his signature. Patrickov 16:25, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bus photographs

Hello, DP5480. I saw your bus photographs. A lot of them are pretty great. It seems that you are a bus enthusiast. Actually, I was a bus enthusiast too, although I am not. I used to go to the Hong Kong Bus Discussion Board long time ago, and I also took some bus photographs in Hong Kong. I have just uploaded a photograph of NWFB 6008. It is good to put a photograph of 6008 to the articles, because it has the standard wavy livery of NWFB. Would you like to work together on adding bus photographs to articles? -Alanmak 07:21, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
