Example of an article derived from image mining: [[V. P. Twin]] . This camera image was found by searching for the keyword "British". There are further cameras under this keyword in our Flickr Pool which deserve an article here. Not only because we need as many British cameras as possible covered to reach UK readers, and last not least native English speaking writers for camerapedia. A lever to reach more U.S. readers would be to use the search keyword "Kodak". There are many precious images of pearls of American camera production which are still unused in camerapedia articles. Don't fear to write too much about cameras from the giants of camera business. Kodak's big role seems to be in the past, its super-selling cameras have become historical cameras which deserve unbiassed covering in a camera encyclopedia. | Example of an article derived from image mining: [[V.

Revision as of 23:19, 27 December 2008
Feel free to add whatever task you think should have priority.
Contents
Getting the basics right
Basic articles like Camera are still in an intermediate state.
Image checking
All the images in the site should be hosted in Flickr's Camerapedia pool and have a link that takes back to the corresponding Flickr page. There are some exceptions when a website owner explicitly permits the direct linking of images from his or her page. This does not mean that this practice is encouraged, but it is legitimate.
List of pages with images that are not in Flickr's Camerapedia pool but legitimately display in Camerapedia:
- Riley (confirmed)
- Yashica Electro GX (likely, under investigation)
- Polaroid 600/600 SE (likely, under investigation)
- Fujipet (likely, under investigation)
- Fujica ST-605 (likely, under investigation)
- Kodak S100 (likely, under investigation)
List of pages containing images whose display in Camerapedia is probably not allowed (all these images are commented out: placed within <!-- and -->):
Any other image that does not link back to Flickr's Camerapedia pool is suspect. If you find such an image, you are invited to delete it if no explanation is given in the talk page. (When deleting, please make relevant text edits, looking for such phrases as "As shown in the photo above".)
Image mining
Why linking to other sites? Much more fun it is to view through our Camerapedia pool on Flickr. Several of the now 12400 images are still unused in articles.
Example of an article derived from image mining: V. P. Twin . This camera image was found by searching for the keyword "British". There are further cameras under this keyword in our Flickr Pool which deserve an article here. Not only because we need as many British cameras as possible covered to reach UK readers, and last not least native English speaking writers for camerapedia. A lever to reach more U.S. readers would be to use the search keyword "Kodak". There are many precious images of pearls of American camera production which are still unused in camerapedia articles. Don't fear to write too much about cameras from the giants of camera business. Kodak's big role seems to be in the past, its super-selling cameras have become historical cameras which deserve unbiassed covering in a camera encyclopedia.
Missing articles ...
These articles are still missing ( U. Kulick Dec 27th 2008 )
... about Cameras
- Photojumelle, a nice antique camera type
...about camera parts and accessories
- Rollex rollfilm back
...about People
- Those who would prefer emphasizing the "alternate photography inventor" may add an article about Hippolyte Bayard.
Maybe there are other women or men who deserve an original article in camerapedia, maybe Heinrich Ernemann, the brothers Lumière, Dr. Edwin Land and a handful photographers that should appear in the category "famous photographers".
... about basics
- Film (just begun with a link, hard work still to do, VERY IMPORTANT!!!
- Digital Camera memory cards, or many species? (SD, Compact Flash etc. like XD-Picture Card ?)
no more issing articles ...
Thanks to all here several "missing articles" lost their "missing" status:
- Tessar, the well reputed highly corrected 4-element lens of Carl Zeiss (done)
- Le Daguerreotype , the first famous series of cameras,designed by Daguerre and made by Alphonse Giroux. A simple camera, but its description needs a native English writing author (done, more description still possible)
- Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre The legendary French inventor of the first wide-spread professional photographic system. (done)
- Jozef Maximilián Petzval, the inventor of the portrait lens (brief, but done)
- George Eastman
- Film speed - ASA/ISO & DIN (and possibly other more ancient systems)
- CCD (but can be improved)
- Pixel and Megapixel (perhaps in the same article) (done)
Unsatisfactory popular pages
These pages are unsatisfactory but attract many hits, as you can see in the list of popular pages. They will harm Camerapedia's image.
Page Number of views Current version Kodak 71,172 incomplete list of models, especially in the Autographic segment Canon 70,261 more intro and history, please Lens 69,027 info about coma and curvature of field is missing Nikon 56,999 a little mor info Pentax 51,593 the company history stops around 1960 Voigtländer 49,988 intro too short Zeiss Ikon 44,406 Ikonta article incomplete Rolleiflex 40,560 only contains a list of models Canon EOS 20D 33,946 no description, links only, many of them are self-promotional Pentacon 29,075 maybe some more info Canon EOS 300D 20,437 almost no description, links only, many of them are self-promotional Nikon D70 20,226 no description, links only, many of them are self-promotional Ansco 16,826 maybe still some more info
project status
End 2006: satisfactory: more and more people run into camerapedia when they search information about cameras. Some add new interesting links or make corrections of articles, or offer new images to the project Flickr image pool, or even become authors of new articles or article sections. But still some cameras and other topics need (more) description inside the encyclopedia. But a great variety of article compostion styles should give authors enough inspiration to add all the missing information. The objective to become a main web-resource about cameras is on the way to be reached. (U. Kulick, 3 December 2006)
End 2008: Since some todos from this page got done and lots of cameras and companies got a page the site has become one that gives a wide overview over the world of cameras from 1839 to 2008, listing or explaining lots of details about many cameras, companies, accessories and people. Some articles just give a link or just show an image. Some of these deserve to be expanded with more information. U. Kulick 18:19, 27 December 2008 (EST)
