Alphabetical index, and camera specifications

Hello,

I have noticed that you tried to insert the Canon 450D to the alphabetical list of cameras, in this and this edit. Unfortunately, the indexing system does not work that way, and if you want to see the 450D appear among camera names starting with a "C", you must create a page titled "Canon EOS 450D", and add "[[Category:C]]" at the bottom of this new page. It is common practice at Camerapedia not to create a void page, so you should write at least one introductory sentence about the camera.

I also see that you added a list of specifications for the Canon EOS 7D. These specifications are a dead copy from this page of the Canon official website. You will even notice that you copied the footnote at the bottom, only in a truncated form: "† Prices and specifications subject to change without" (see your version of the page). I am sorry to say that mere dumps of official websites are not allowed in Camerapedia for copyright reasons, and that dry spec lists are discouraged.

In both cases, I had to revert your edits. I am not trying to deter you from editing in Camerapedia, but I would prefer that you ask questions in talk pages if you are unsure of what to do, and that you read the Help section for guidelines.

Best regards,
