- Good evening. Do I follow the public photographers or not? If I followed the general photographers - yes I agree to the meeting. Paula Fenness (talk) 11:42, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Photo edits[edit]
Dear Pigsonthewing - why did you crop my image of John Craske? It is especially egregious to do this without asking my permission. I specifically used the photo that was provided to me for this purpose by descendants Trevor Craske. He wanted that image used because he owns the copyright as he took the photo. Now you have cropped it so that it looks like the one owned by Sheringham Museum. Please explain. Thank you, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:CarolynCo CarolynCo (talk) 12:20, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- @CarolynCo: It's not your image. I don't need your permission. The decision on what to include in Wikipedia does not belong to the descendents of the subject. If you wish to argue for retention of the uncropped version of the image on a Wikipedia article, you should do so the talk page of that article. As the image you uploaded is by another person, we need to confirm their permission for its use, per the guidance I have left on your talk page. If this is not received, it will be deleted. Finally, edits like [1] are nonsense. The image as cropped is a 1901 work by an unknown hand, and as such is no longer in copyright. Again, no permission for using the image is needed.
- As to why I made a cropped version of the image: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an art project. It important, on the article about him, to show people what Craske looked like, not what a tatty paper photo mount looks like.

Äntligen maj: Wiki Loves Earth 2024![edit]
Hej,
(For information in English, see Wiki Loves Earth 2024 in Sweden or other participating countries.)
Du får det här meddelandet eftersom du tidigare har bidragit med bilder till de svenska deltävlingarna av Wiki Loves Earth eller Wiki Loves Monuments. Jag hoppas att du vill vara med i år också! Som vanligt ingår naturreservat och nationalparker, biosfärområden och naturminnen i tävlingen! Utöver bästa foto belönar vi även fotograferande av tidigare ofotograferade objekt samt bästa bildserie om minst tio fotografier av samma objekt. Tävlingen börjar 1 maj, och pågår under hela maj månad. Om du har varit ute i världen och rest kan du även se om resorna sammanfaller med övriga internationella deltävlingar, och i så fall vara med och tävla även där. Expeditioner, fotosafari eller en helt vanlig promenad? Via en smidig karta som visar ditt närområde hittar du bra ställen att besöka – eller varför inte damma av fotoalbumen och tävla med bilder du har tagit tidigare?
Välkommen till tävlingen, och lycka till! / Alicia Fagerving (WMSE) (talk) 10:58, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
