Welcome to Camera-Wiki.org!

Thanks for creating an account here on Camera-Wiki.org! We appreciate your willingness to help us create the most comprehensive camera and photography encyclopedia on the web. Camera-Wiki.org is a big website, so we'd like to offer a few quick pointers to help get you started.

You also have a profile page that you can edit to tell us more about yourself if you'd like. It's purely optional but it's always nice to get to know another camera lover.

This website uses software called Mediawiki that's also used by WikiPedia. If you already know how to use and edit WikiPedia, you'll feel right at home here. If not, we have special page where you can learn to edit, called the Sandbox. It's a place where you try things out and experiment with no worries of breaking anything.

Where to find answers:

• Help pages (this is the best place to start learning!)
• FAQ page

Where to ask questions:

• Our Flickr discussion group
• Our Community discussion page
• Our IRC chat channel

How you can help:

• Start improving or adding articles!
• Check our ToDo list for something you'd like to do
• Post photos of your camera gear on Flickr and add them to the Camera-Wiki.org Flickr group
• Make a donation to help us pay for hosting

thanks

You seem like you know what you are doing!:-) I've reorganized the main ricoh point and shoot section a year or so ago. I gave up on it a bit as I was having trouble finding some of the variation details. For the past week or so I've been working on a myriad of fuji point and shoot cameras.

Thanks for all you edits and articles! --Tkmedia (talk) 00:47, 14 June 2014 (PDT)

Thanks, Tkmedia

Hi, there. Thanks for the comment and adding some revisions to the article I recently posted. I undertook great difficulty in identifing P&S cameras of Ricoh when I purchased them. There seem to be countless variants and their naming scheme is so complicated, isn't it? I think I still need time to get used to the format that camera-wiki uses; It took quite a long time before I understand how I can post my reply on this discussion. lol

Thanks, again.

Thanks again for all your continued work on all the Ricoh point and shoots! Looks like you got just about every one! I invited more photos, so hopefully some more will show up soon. If you want to, you can work on some other marks like Minolta Riva Freedom Capio; maybe finish some pentax espio iqzoom's or Fujis that I have started but have neglected ＿φ(°-°=)--Tkmedia (talk) 02:45, 6 July 2014 (PDT)

Mailing List

Hi, I'm Vox —one of the folks who three years ago helped launch this non-commercial fork of Camerapedia,. I notice you've been making a lot of useful wiki edits recently, and that's great!

You probably already know about the wiki's Flickr discussion area …but there is also a small Google Groups mailing list where active wiki editors can talk amongst themselves about planning, policy, etc. I would warmly like to invite you to join this group (which has very little traffic, until a specific issue comes up).

The future of camera-wiki.org is facing a bit of a crisis right now. In 2011, preserving the independence of Camerapedia was an emergency situation and Steevithak and I took large roles during that crisis. But neither of wanted to be "in charge," and in the past year we've both moved on to other interests. The wiki can really use some help right now in maintaining a healthy future, and the Google group might be a good place to discuss future options. The most urgent need is finding a more reliable hosting situation, and publicizing the need for ongoing donations to pay those costs.

It's also possible within the MediaWiki software to give certain editors more administrative powers. If that is a responsibility you might like to take on, please feel free to mention it.

All best from Ann Arbor, USA
