Camera-wiki.org:Votes/Featured articles
September, 2006
In Main Page/Draft2, I nominated the following articles:
- Usable medium format: Fujica G690
- Usable 35mm: Olympus OM-1/2/3/4
- Collectors camera: Waltax
- Collecting theme: Japanese 6×6 cameras
- Camera company: Takane
- Pretty article: Werra
However I'm not fully satisfied with that choice and with the corresponding categories. Please make suggestions. --Rebollo fr 07:20, 31 August 2006 (EDT)
I made the Template: Articles of the month/September, 2006. --Rebollo fr 07:47, 31 August 2006 (EDT)
Now I'm wondering:
- Must we keep the "category names" (Usable medium format, etc.) visible in the main page?
- There are too many Japanese cameras.
- Maybe we should get rid of the camera company: as Hoary said on the draft2 talk page, we have not enough good company articles, and the good ones concern little-known and small companies. (An article about a company is much more difficult to write correctly).
- For the collecting theme, a link to a template is a bit rough. There should be thematic pages first, then we could use this category.
- I think the pretty article category is useful to give examples of an intelligent use of illustrations. There are probably some pages that are better than Werra, for example Flexaret automat VII.

- Sorry to have been so silent and unhelpful recently. (And I'm afraid that this posture will continue, as I attempt to get a computer to work the way I want it to, and go on vacation, and catch up on work after that, etc.) In short, I agree with all of your points. How about replacing the article on the big Fujicas (which is a bit long) with Flexaret automat VII (perhaps recapitalized)? It's not Japanese, and Flexarets are affordable. -- Hoary 10:20, 31 August 2006 (EDT)
