Hello WhisperToMe!

Thank you for providing images to the Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.

To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.

You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on the Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

Thank you. Siebrand 20:17, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Pictures from flicker

Hi! It is always a good idea to upload the highest resolution version when you get a picture from flicker. It makes the image way more informative. I've uploaded a much higher resolution version of Image:MiamiAirportTerminal.jpg. --J.smith (talk) 01:00, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, WhisperToMe!

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations"). Pro-tip: The CommonSense tool can help you find the best category for your image.

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Military of Taiwan and Republic of China categories

As the main creator of this nest of categories please allow me to explain the reason for this. (If you can't be bothered to read the long version, the short version is that it is done this way to both respect reality as it is whilst attempting not to upset the political sensitivities of all sides.)

The long version:- The Republic of China existed as the main recognised political entity in China from about 1912 to about 1948 so any files related to the Chinese military of that time can be legitimately and almost uncontroversially be included in categories titled the Republic of China. After 1948 according to the PRC the RoC ceased to exist and today there is no political entity called the Republic of China whatever the authorities on Taiwan may chose to call themselves. Of course the reality is a little different with many nations continuing to recognise those on Taiwan as the legal government of China until the mid to late 1970s. After this point most nations recognised the PRC as the government of China. Today very few countries,not even its closest ally the USA, recognise the RoC as a sovereign state. The PRC has alsoworked hard to pressurise international organisations not to recognise or use the words Republic of China, in order not to offend PRC sensibilities it is now usual to refer to Taiwan rather then the RoC, for example there is no Republic of China at the Olympics but there is/was an entity called Chinese Taipei.

There are four ways to categorise files with regards the military of the RoC/Taiwan, which reflect the different positions taken.

i)There is one China called the PRC, the RoC no longer exists and the forces there are the remenants of a warlord faction which will be integrated the PLA as soon as the malcontents there see sense.

ii)There is one China called the RoC, those calling themselves the PRC are rebels who will be crushed when the beloved homeland is liberated.

iii)There is a nation called Taiwan which exists, its culture, people and language are distinct and independent of that of the mainland. In 1948 its people were brutally invaded by forces fleeing China, who in the intervening years used military force to supress the local people and culture. The nation of Taiwan will throw of the shackles of these invaders and their desire for a single China and will one day chart its own way in the world.

iv)The status quo is a mess of names, interests and sensibilities and is far from perfect, however its the one people have gotten to know and accept so lets turn a blind eye to its inconsistencies and try not upset the apple cart.

The existing cats are organised in such a way as to reflect the fact that an entity called the Republic of China existed between 1911 and 1948. That an entity exists in Taiwan with many of the trappings of a nation state including a military, however these categories are nested in such a way so as to reflect the fact of a single China whilst at the same time trying to maintain the differences between the two.

In my opinion any attempt that implys the continued existence of the RoC after 1948 is likely to inflame those who lean towards the PRC. Any attempt to deny the existence of a polity in Taiwan that sees itself as the legitmate government of China will inflame the majority of those in Taiwan. Any attempt that there are two soverign nations one called China and one called Taiwan will inflame both a majority in Taiwan and China.

Like the world we live in the status quo with regards these categories here on Commons has natural inconsistencies, and cannot satisfy the opinions and hopes of everybody. However thus far the status quo seems to have worked so lets not upset the apple cart.KTo288 (talk) 17:09, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your answer and the link to Wikipedia Naming conventions (Chinese)-Republic of China, Taiwan, and variations thereof. Although I was previously unaware of it, I find it wise, succint and an accurate summary of the situation as I understand it. Actually I'm surprised that you haven't included the link on the discussion pages of those categories you are seeking to move as it seems a pretty persuasive arguement, if I ever need to edit an article on Taiwan at Wikipedia I now know where to look for guidance.

This is not Wikipedia, and sage as that guidance is, these are not articles that we are talking about, even so I do not hesitate in endorsing most of its advice (the one area I would dispute would be:- "Text should treat the Republic of China as a sovereign state with equal status with the People's Republic of China.'" which is itself disputed at the page itself.

Where we differ then is in how we would implement these guidelines. With an article what is used is language and constructions of words to create pictures and to express ideas. Commons does not deal with words, but with pictures and those pictures can create ideas and narratives in the mind of the observer. On commons pages, words in the form of introductions and captions can maybe help steer the direction of the narrative. However with categories unless you work very hard the order in which images are presented cannot be controlled and you have no control over the narrative. What control we do have over what and how an observer sees an image comes from categorisation.

I will use Category:Air force of Taiwan to illustrate this,as this was the category that first alerted me to your concerns. If we were to have one and only one category for this topic, then I think I would have to agree with you and move its contents to a category called Category:Air Force of the Republic of China. However that would be tantamount to saying you can only write an article using one sentence or one paragraph.

In articles, we use sentences to express a single idea, and paragraphs to link these ideas to create a theme. When done well these disparate paragraphs join to create a narrative. On Commons we don't have sentences and paragraphs but we do have categories and the taxonomic tree.

Within the tree indvidual files belong to or should belong to at least one category. However just as an article is not a jumble of haphazard unrelated sentences, Commons is not a mess of individual unrelated categories. Categories themselves can belong to categories which in turn belong to other categories. Any file that belongs to a category belongs to every category that that category belongs to and so on. So since the category Air force of Taiwan is a sub category of Air Force of the Republic of China every file presently in Air force of Taiwan also belongs to the category Air Force of the Republic of China, which in turn is a sub category of Category:Air force of China.

The wikipedia page offers the construction "Republic of China (Taiwan)" as a way to disambiguate between the pre 1949 entity and the current entity calling itself the "Republic of China", and this is exactly what is being done in the way the current categories are organised.

Again thank you, and my apologies if it seems I was lecturing you on a topic on that you are familiar with.KTo288 (talk) 23:22, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Help with Portuguese in Category:Air France Flight 447

Hi. The Portuguese for "The image gallery documents the search for the aircraft?" is "Esta galeria de imagens mostra a busca pelos destroços do avião" or "Esta galeria de imagens mostra a busca pelo avião". What is aircraft? Is the airplane? Or is the airplane after an accident?--Eduardoferreira (talk) 13:55, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks.--Eduardoferreira (talk) 18:34, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
• Hi. There is news saying that this image Busca voo Air France 447 3.jpg‎ is not from oil spit from the airbus. It is from a ship.--Eduardoferreira (talk) 23:50, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
• I think there are many spokesperson for Naval and Aeronautical Social Communication Center. I think one possibility is to use Vice-Chief for Social Communication Center. Give me an example for use to Deputy head for me to see if it is appropriate. Specifically in case of Jorge Amaral, he is a colonel, so you can call him as Colonel Jorge Amaral, vice-chief for Social Communication Center of Brazilian Air Force.--Eduardoferreira (talk) 00:26, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
• The portuguese for this "These photographs document the search for possible survivors, as well as for mortal remains, debris and the flight recorders from the crashed plane." can be: Estas fotografias mostram as buscas por possíveis sobreviventes, assim como restos mortais, destroços e a caixa-preta do avião que caiu. So, you can use "Vice-chief" or "Deputy Head". I don´t know which one is more usual. It may depends on the context.--Eduardoferreira (talk) 01:07, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
• Hi. I have a question for you. Look these images: Tab "Fotos", uploaded today, june 6. It has been published by Força Aerea Brasileira, not from "Agencia Brasil". When the picture from FAB is published by Agencia Brasil, we can upload here in commons because the terms of license in Agencia Brasil is Creative Commons. But in the FAB site, the terms of license is All rights reserved. I think we will have to wait for Agencia Brasil to publish some picture from the searches in june 6, to upload here in commons. But, a doubt remains: Like this one published by FAB in June 3 and Busca voo Air France 447 3.jpg. The same picture in Agencia Brasil done by FAB, and the Agencia Brasil is the publisher. We can not upload here in commons presuming that FAB would give permission like to Agencia Brasil? --Eduardoferreira (talk) 02:10, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
• Hi. It seems to be "Esta foto mostra a remoção pela Marinha Brasileira da empenagem que estava no mar pertencente ao AirFrance AirBus A330".--Eduardoferreira (talk) 23:05, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
• It would be better like this: "Esta foto mostra a remoção pela Marinha Brasileira do estabilizador vertical que estava no mar pertencente ao AirFrance AirBus A330". This one is better.--Eduardoferreira (talk) 23:18, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

• Hi. I need your help with this image Cindacta 3.jpg. The license is {{cc-by-nc-nd-3.0}} but the uploader have put the license as {{cc-by-3.0}} which is not the license of the picture. Do you know what to do?--Eduardoferreira (talk) 23:03, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

I marked for deletion but don't know if I done it correctly.--Eduardoferreira (talk) 23:23, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks. Now I know I can use the parameter |1= combined with source in case of another copyvio.--Eduardoferreira (talk) 00:37, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

File:Balanço dos dez dias de operações.jpg

Yes... Can be taking stock. But take stock will not seem that is a stock of goods? Balanço in this case have more to be with a resume, a resumé, a trial to condensate the most important facts on the rescue in those ten days. Brigadier Ramon Borges Cardoso making a presentation regarding the ten days of rescue activities of the bodies from the victims of the Air France Flight 447, executed by BAF aircrafts, France and United States. At his side, comandant of the 3rd Naval District, vice-almirant Edison Lawrence Dantas. <-- Maybe like this, something like this.--Eduardoferreira (talk) 13:13, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Images of French buildings

Hi,

I just added a comment to this topic on Village Pump; as it may be of interest for you, here is a copy below:

On French WP, there is a special category for these images: fr:Catégorie:Image d'œuvre architecturale récente en fair use. Before any deletion, uploading them in this category would be smart. Thanks a lot. --Croquant (talk) 10:25, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

You are welcome! I am not an administrator on FR. Am I still allowed to upload fair use images? If so, how? Thanks, WhisperToMe (talk) 00:24, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

It is not necessary to be an administrator: any registered user on French WP is allowed to upload images. However, you may find it difficult if you do not understand French, as the upload procedure is only in French. So, uploading an image to French WP is very similar to Commons; the main difference is about licences: for these images, you need two licences : the first is related to the building : {{Fair use bâtiment récent}}, and the second is the original licence given by the photographer; see for instance [1], one of my pictures, as an example. If you are in trouble with categorization, miss it out. If you need more details, feel free to leave me a message. Thanks, Croquant (talk) 06:04, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

I forgot something important: some architects explicitly prohibit any reproduction of their works, for instance Ieoh Ming Pei for the Louvre Pyramid; such images should not be uploaded to French WP. For Millau viaduct, I am not sure about the architect's position; I try to find it out. Croquant (talk) 06:40, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

I just found this image of Millau viaduct, previously on Commons, and uploaded to French WP, but I did not find the architect's position, if any; I asked the question on the Bistro of the french WP. Croquant (talk) 07:50, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Well, it seems that nothing prevents from uploading pictures of Millau viaduct to French WP. Croquant (talk) 17:51, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Alitalia headquarters

It is not possible to take those pictures: in Italy there is no such thing like "freedom of panorama", and that means it is not legally possible to take a picture of buildings whose architect has not been dead for 70 years. --TcfkaPanairjdde (talk) 17:08, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Even in that case, you can still be liable under Italian law, and that means that it is still illegal to publish that picture. --TcfkaPanairjdde (talk) 15:13, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

What you fail to understand is that if I take a picture of a modern building and I publish it (directly or undirectly), even in a country where modern buildings photos are freely publishable, I am committing a crime in Italy. I dont' know where are you from, but if you upload an "illegal" mp3 onto a computer in country X and distribute it there, you are still liable according to the law of the country you live. --TcfkaPanairjdde (talk) 16:20, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

"Would the courts really make a big deal about this case?" This is not the point, it would be nonetheless a crime and people willing to help you should be aware of this.

"one could get around it by asking that only non-Italian citizens fulfill the request" they would be liable of the same crime, even if obviously only those living in Italy would be actually persecuted. --TcfkaPanairjdde (talk) 21:52, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

If you think that could be useful, it might be a good idea to ask to experts how to handle the case. Bye. --TcfkaPanairjdde (talk) 17:37, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Please stop spamming Commons:Forum

If no one translates the descriptions of those Air France 447 images, than we do not consider them necessary. Please do not copy your list again. --h-stt !? 08:50, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

H-stt, I am not spamming the list. The list was very long and it takes a long time for the list to be completed. It's not that nobody wants to do it. On the contrary. Look at what happens to the list as I post it again and again. It gets smaller. And smaller. And smaller. And smaller. As more of the list is done, it gets closer to completion, it is a long work in progress, not a list nobody wants to touch.

I will repost the list until it is totally finished, or unless someone reverts the bot every time it tries to archive the list.

Thank you for your understanding

WhisperToMe (talk) 10:56, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

You post a list of tasks repeatedly to motivate others to do something for you. You do it a few times and it looks harmless. But have you thought what happens if others or even everyone does it? And of course you consider it successful, it always is for the first one or the first few. But once this method gets picked up by more people it has the potential to destroy the whole medium. That's the very definition of spam and that's what makes you a spammer. You copied your reply to my message to three separate places (here, my talk page and my talk page on de-WP) - do you even notice what you are doing, spammer! Stop this crap immediately, revert your spam and never do it again. Otherwise I will have to resort to the infallible method of Paul Tomblim: „Hire a hitman to kill the poster, his wife and kids, and fuck his dog and smash his computer into little bits. Anything more is just extremism.“ --h-stt !? 12:51, 18 March 2010 (UTC) PS: If I write here, I read here. There is no need to answer anywhere else.

DouglassESYellowstoneAcademyHoustonTX.JPG

Hi! Regarding you QI nomination of DouglassESYellowstoneAcademyHoustonTX.JPG pls see below a few hints. The Wikipedia article on Chromatic aberration has a brief explanation on how to avoid or correct it. If you google for it you will find several tutorials (there is a step by step tutorial on youtube as well). Same with Perspective distortion, but this one is much easyer to correct. If you don't have a comprehensive graphic software (i.e.Photoshop or Photo-Paint), there are freewares around which can do the job. You can find some suggestions of freeware for tackling perspective distortion here. Regarding composition: if there are ugly wires in your way you cannot avoid, is still preferable to try get them not overlap the most important features of the subject (i.e. top decoration, clock). It is also unclear why the present framing was chosen, why is not possible to see more of the building? Hope these hints help. I would suggest retaking the picture from a beter angle, so that the wires don't disturb so much and the subject building is better visible. --Elekhh (talk) 03:18, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

RE: China Airlines photo request

Hey, only checked my Commons talkpage today. Sorry, I don't live in Taiwan and have no plans to go there in the near future. So I can't help you to take the CI headquarters. BTW, I live in Singapore. :) Terence (talk) 16:18, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I can't fulfill your request again. Airline House is within the boundaries of Changi Airport and thus it's a protected area. As for SIA Training Centre, it is guarded and photography is not allowed. Terence (talk) 08:06, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

A protected area in Singapore means that you are not allowed to go and take photos along the fence, technically. If caught, you will be asked to delete the photo and can be charged if you are a repeat offender. Airline House is right in the smack of the protected place so I am unable to fulfill your photo request in any circumstances. It's almost impossible to get ramp access or access within the restricted areas of Changi Airport. Singapore is very strict on such matters, any trespassing of a protected place means you can be charged in court. BTW, Airline House is NOT visible from the runway. That building is one of the many facilities SIA has on the grounds of Changi Airport. SIA Training Centre is located outside Changi Airport. Terence (talk) 04:19, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Yea, that's one of the any buildings on the airport grounds. They are very strict about taking photos of protected places due to the threat of terrorism globally. Security and photography at airports at the fence is stricter than most countries. Terence (talk) 19:02, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

language tagging

There's extremely little point in marking up descriptions with language tagging unless there are multiple descriptions in different languages to choose from. Certain automated tools do add such tags (often incorrectly!), but there's no particular reason to emulate them in manual edits... AnonMoos (talk) 10:23, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Do you really think that all five million images, or whatever (with more being added all the time) are going to be given captions in multiple languages in any determinate amount of time?? I see little reason to make preparations for such hypothetical future contingencies, which can instead be easily dealt with when the time actually comes...

So you know, Stewards are put under Confirmation and are reviewed. Such statements that Thogo made are unacceptable for Stewards to make and can be grounds for termination. As you can see here, he attempts to bully anyone who points out his abusive behavior, verifying more that he needs to be removed. Please remember his conduct for the review so we can ensure that he no longer has power in which to push an such poor claims in such an incivil manner in the future.

Hey, Kuru!

Would you be interested in adding more languages to your license template? User:D-Kuru/licence

User:Raboe001/licence is an example of a multilingual license template - If you are interested, I could post requests to have your template translated into various languages WhisperToMe (talk) 00:56, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

User:D-Kuru/licence is not the end. I'm planning {{User:D-Kuru/mpt}} for a long time now. "mpt" means "multi purpose template". This template will be usable for everything (considering what I need and use). Multiple languages will one of the things which will be included due to time. However, so far I don't really have time to care about the template. So, yes I want to have my template in multiple langues but it would make no sence when it looks completely different in a half year. So far it is not very useful to translate the template. But when I'm finished I will contact you again.

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Houstonmap.gif. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the OTRS system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. (You can get a list of all your uploaded files using the Gallery tool.)

• Responded on talk page. As a note to third parties, it is standard in the media of European languages (English, French, Spanish, etc.) to use family name last with modern day Japanese names (even though in the Japanese language family name comes first) - This practice is widely acknowledged in Japan and abroad. From my understanding, most Japanese do not find this offensive (or else they would not tolerate Anglophone media switching around the names) - This is not considered altering of an actual person's name, just a different presentation (Naoto Kan vs. Kan Naoto, with Kan being the family name).
• Aphaia has expressed a preference for using family name first in European languages as well as Japanese. I am fine with it on user talk pages, talk pages, user pages, etc. But I have reservations against treating one Japanese person's name differently than other Japanese persons' names on the File/Image and Mainspace areas (Example: Category:Naoto Kan).

Well, I had great luck with the weather ;-). I decided to go out earlier to the airport to do the photos and pretty much immediately after I left it started to rain.

Forgot to mention, it seems as if Finnair is building a new head office. Right next to the old building (if you look at the south-side pic where you can see the beginning of a parking lot) they currently work on a new building (currently it is only a big hole in the ground) and while I couldn't read the text while driving by in the bus the picture shows that the result will be a huge modern-looking (lots of glass) office building. -- Cecil (talk) 15:52, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Publix Headquarters Picture Request

I had to go to a work facility near Lakeland, so I stopped by and snapped this picture with my cellphone. I also grabbed one going by the highway side of the complex from my car, but as I believe it's illegal to stop and take pictures, I got it while moving and it is into the sun so it's not great. I can drive by again sometime with my real camera if these aren't good enough. Legoloonie (talk)

• 
• 

Not a problem. I know the picture of the headquarters building is awful, and I do work out there by Lakeland once and a while, so I may bring my better camera to try my best. That said, it is a gated campus on several acres of land, and I'm not sure how successful I'll be in approaching the building. Legoloonie (talk)

I see what you mean, next time I will try from the entrance ramp there. Don't know when I'll next be in Polk County though. Legoloonie (talk)

I got another picture, although once I got back to my computer the fenceposts seemed really annoying. I 'photoshopped' them out, but I'm not sure if that is a faux pas here on the Commons (and my Gimp skills aren't very finely tuned). Feel free to revert the file to the version with the fenceposts if that is preferable. Legoloonie (talk)

Some pics I shot at Landvetter airport today. The building you requested is hopefully on it. There weren't that many. But as usually when I'm running around on airports with the camera it seems to rain. If you have time please also adapt the descriptions. Don't have much time. My next flight to Keflavik is leaving in 14 hours and I still need to wash my clothes and undpack and then pack again. -- Cecil (talk) 21:56, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Oh, and thanks to the wonderful weather in Helsinki I've made some new pictures of the head office of Finnair and of the new head office building in progress. As wifi is free at the Helsinki airport I managed to upload them with 10 minutes to spare until boarding to Iceland. You'll find them in the Category:Finnair head office. There should be ten; 5 of the old building and 5 of the new one. -- Cecil (talk) 11:54, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

File:RA-64047 two hours before crash.JPG

Hi WhisperToMe, would you be kind enough to express your opinion here. Thanks, Sealle (talk) 20:30, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

A suspicious photo

Hello, WhisperToMe. About Sealle's request above. I'd like to attract your attention to this file. I have some serious doubts about its truthfulness, or rather about the truthfulness of its description. (I've also posted this on the file's talk page. I was directed to you later.)
The photographer claims this photo was taken two hours before the crash of the depicted airplane (more details about the crash). The metadata says it's 10:32. Aparently the time is UTC. It can't be Eastern European (Poland) time zone because then it would mean that it was taken 40 minutes before the airplane took off. It means that the local time was 11:32. In the Northern hemisphere the noon sun should be roughly at the South or South-East. And, if the airplane is flying East or North-East (as the route suggests) the sun should be illuminating the airplane's starboard. However, on the photograph, the sun is aparently shining from the quarter port side (you can see the sun reflection on the left side of the windshield). This implies that the airplane is either flying West in the afternoon, or is flying East in the morning in the Southern hemisphere. Do I understand this part correctly? It is also very suspicious that such a unique shot wasn't used by any news agencies or published on plane-spotters websites. I believe the reason for that is that both of those require the original photograph with genuine metadata. I'm not sure what to do with these doubts, so I thought I'd talk to the Commons' bureaucrat. Could you please take a look? Since I've contacted a few people already, maybe it would be wise to move the discussion to the file's talk page where it started? Thank you.

Air China Helsinki

Hi. About your request for the Air China office in Helsinki. The office is in the Kaivotalo. In the inner city of Helsinki pretty much every building has a name. Talo is the Finnish word for house. Kaivo stands for fountain. There is a big fountain in the inner court of the building. The building next to Kaivotalo is Makkaratalo, Sausage house, thanks to the weird sausage-like construction surrounding the building. Anyway there is already a nice image of the building here since 2007. Unless you have more special requests I would say that request is solved. -- Cecil (talk) 04:05, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
