Help !

Thank you again for your interesting pictures [1]

Many of them are already on Wikipedia in various languages, such as :

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punjab_Tractors_Ltd.
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soyo
• https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soyo
• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Armor_on_the_move.jpg
• https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soyo
• https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourisme_en_Angola
• https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerre_d%27ind%C3%A9pendance_de_l%27Angola
• https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esta%C3%A7%C3%A3o_Ferrovi%C3%A1ria_do_Entroncamento_(CFL)

But please do not forget the location. We cannot use the pictures if we do not know where they were taken. For instance "city in Angola" cannot be used [2].

Thank you for helping us and thank you again for your contributions. We do not have so many pictures from Angola, so they are most welcome.

Happy Sunday!

Hello,

I am always very happy to discover your new contributions [3], but my native language is French and my English is poor.

Here you can find just a few more of your inserted images :

• https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parc_national_d%27Iona
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Arco
• https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namibe_(province)

It is not necessary to worry too much about many categories. Provided captions and locations are OK, anyone can add more afterwards. Contrary to Wikidata (which is a database), we do not use keywords here, but hierarchic categories. For instance, if we have the "Category:Donkey-drawn carts in South Africa", we do not need the categories Donkeys, Carts or South Africa.

Thank you again. If necessary, you can contact me by email (column to the left on my User page).

Best regards, Ji-Elle (talk) 06:47, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Me again... Obviously you traveled a lot in Southern Africa, but are you sure that Fanies Island is in Botswana ? See [4]. Or are there homonyms ? Ji-Elle (talk) 07:42, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Congratulations ! I see all your remarkable pictures and I do my best.

Two problems still left :

• Sorry but my English is limited so I did not understand well your explanations about Fannies Island. Botswana or South Africa ?
• I am not in charge of copyright issues here, but a problem might occur with the many very interesting pictures taken in Pretoria railway station. Apparently you are the author, but the metadata of the camera say the author is actually Phillip Grobler (see example here [5]. Of course he may be you friend, but in terms of copyright someone may have doubts sooner or later, so it should be avoided.

Anyway you are doing a great job! -- Ji-Elle (talk) 07:53, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
