Changes are occuring in the catergory scheme, mostly made by [[User:Hoary|Hoary]]. This is why there are some pages about Japanese 35mm rangefinders that have the new [[:Category: Japanese 35mm rangefinder]] while others still have the older scheme with both [[:Category: Japan]] and [[:Category: 35mm rangefinder]]. The same situation occurs with the Japanese 6×6 TLRs that will eventually all go into the [[:Category: Japanese 6x6 TLR]]. The reason for this change is that the previous categories were becoming too big. In a couple of weeks the situation of the categories will have probably stabilized. --[[User:Rebollo fr|Rebollo fr]] 09:08, 12 June 2006 (EDT)

Another thing to keep in mind is that there is no use to insert both a category and its parent category, except in very particular situations. For example [[:Category:6x6 TLR]] and [[:Category:TLR]] is discouraged, [[:Category:6x6 TLR]] alone is enough.

About the pictures

Hello,

First I wanted to say that you are making attractive looking articles with very nice pictures!

I wanted to draw your attention to the fact that I had to change the rules about inserting pictures. Please have a look at the new version of this page: Camerapedia.org:Adding_Images. The problem was that there was no way to trace back an image hosted in Flickr, and that we were infringing the Flickr rules.

I have added a link from every image back to its original Flickr page. So now a small arrow appears at the right of each image. This is not very pretty. Maybe the following would be better:
<div>URL-of-the-Flickr-hosted-image <br> [URL-of-the-corresponding-Flickr-page Hosted by Flickr]</div>
Feel free to experiment and tell me which solution you find the best.

Moved your page

I took the freedom to move the page you had created in the main namespace to the "User:" namespace. To sign your contributions to the talk pages, you can type four tilde characters in a row: ~~~~. This will automatically insert your name with a link to your user page and the date of your post. --Rebollo fr 09:07, 12 June 2006 (EDT)

About the categories

Changes are occuring in the category scheme, mostly made by Hoary. This is why there are some pages about Japanese 35mm rangefinders that have the new Category: Japanese 35mm rangefinder while others still have the older scheme with both Category: Japan and Category: 35mm rangefinder. The same situation occurs with the Japanese 6×6 TLRs that will eventually all go into the Category: Japanese 6x6 TLR. The reason for this change is that the previous categories were becoming too big. In a couple of weeks the situation of the categories will have probably stabilized.

Another thing to keep in mind is that there is no use to insert both a category and its parent category, except in very particular situations. For example Category:6x6 TLR and Category:TLR is discouraged, Category:6x6 TLR alone is enough.
