File talk:Borama3.jpg

An editor on English Wikipedia has suggested this is not an image of Borama (link). He did not specify any reason why this is the case, but I did notice that one of the buildings along the bottom edge (middle-left) looks like a fairly old church, which is rather incongruous with this region. Also compare to the older revision of this file (which is also from the same World 66 gallery: [1]). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 13:47, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Image has been reverted to first version. Gugganij (talk) 00:09, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

@Gyrofrog: I've reverted your revert. Please don't overwrite images; it causes all sorts of copyright headaches. Thew new image is at File:Borama, Somalia.jpg, and I've instructed the bot to do a mass replace. But if it misses any, you might want to get them all by hand.

I work with/on Somalia on a daily basis and I can tell you with certainty that this is not Borama. I see two churches while there are no churches at all in Somalia (there's only the ruins of a cathedral in Mogadishu). There should be minarets on the photo, and there aren't. Furthermore, all the roofs in the picture are red tiles; while in Borama 95% of the roofs are silver-greyish corrugated iron sheets. Finally, the mountain shapes around Borama are different than those in the picture. The picture looks more like some city in latin America, especially considering the churches. In fact, now that I'm "googling" some pictures I am sure it is Cuzco, in Peru. I have recategorized the picture as such, and have deleted it from all Wiki-articles where it is posted as Borama.
