There are two main aspects of the Joshua Tree National Park: Joshua Trees and impressive rock formations. This photo shows both and falls into the wider scope Mojave Desert . Please deal kindly with me, because it is my first VIC experience. I am not sure if I have understood everything correctly. -- Tuxyso (talk)
I've already read it. IMHO it falls under the Natural sites. It is a typical representation of the Joshua Tree National Park. IMHO the scope page is not very precice with conditions for landscape shots. Which scope would fit better? --Tuxyso (talk) 15:42, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Welcome Tuxyso ! -- The picture is nice and will be VI soon. Only two small problems to fix : scope and geocoding. -- I think that "Mojave desert landscape" or ("Typical Mohave desert landscape") would be OK (after ":Category: Joshua Tree National Park") so as to get a blue link with the scope title... Of course it would be better if you knew the exact name of this spot (if it's got one and if you remember it) or of this part of the desert. Someone else will tell you if I'm wrong. -- Second point : the geocoding seems wrong (Northern China according to my geolocator). Could you have a look at it, please... and, of course, tell me if I'm wrong. --JLPC (talk) 17:07, 17 October 2013 (UTC) Comment Agree with JLPC. Also, in this image, the scope and the category on Commons are too wide. Also, I think that image should be in the more precise category on commons, looks better, or one of the subcategories listed there. Halavar (talk) 17:38, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Done I've taken finer categories now. @JLPC: Thanks for your friendly and explaining words. The coordinates are correct, just click on the link - it is exactly in the Joshua Tree park. Probably you've mixed east and west coordinates. I've refined the English description, the photo is taken from a parking lot near the Banana Cracks Formation (which has not category on Commons). I've also taken a wider scope now. Is it OK now? --Tuxyso (talk) 21:24, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support All criteria met. Comment Sorry for the geocode : I still have some problems with copy-and-paste in GeoLocator (!) -- I slightly modified the scope so as to have a link between its title and one of the categories in which the picture is. I hope you'll agree. --JLPC (talk) 08:18, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It's fine - thanks for your friendly help. At the moment I have still not fully understood why "Typical view of Joshua Tree National Park" (that is how an someone else described the photo on en-WP) is too narrow as scope whereas scopes for photos of churches like "Church XYZ front view" are OK. But it is better to discuss that on our talk pages. --Tuxyso (talk) 08:27, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
