replies: text: Good point. I just checked with FireFox and it looks OK. Internet Exploiter and Netscrape seem to have an issue with this table. Will check with Safari when I get home later today. Amadeust 01:09, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

text: Safari, Chimera and Mozilla display this page correctly. So it appears that the problem is confined to IE and Netscape (under MS at least). No issue there. Amadeust 07:10, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

text: I'm using Netscape 7.something on my Mac and it looks OK; IE 6.0 on this Windows machine looks sucky. So it's probably (ahem) a Microsquish effect...   Elf | Talk 19:12, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Silly Question 

message: Have you seen an article on wikipedia that needs a photograph but you can't travel a thousand miles to take it? Do you love taking pictures for the wiki but aren't sure what our needs are? I've created Wikipedia:Photo Matching Service to solve both problems by matching photographers with articles that need photos. To a certain extent it duplicates Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Photographers, but its a bit more useful for finding someone to take a photo because its sorted by location. Additionally, the page also includes a list of needed photos for any given location so anybody can see what photos we need and take them for us even if that person doesn't want to list themselves as a photographer. Anyway, the page is pretty bare-bones at the moment and I would appreciate any comments that people have GabrielF 18:02, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi all Wikiphotogs:
I am trying to organize a project to clean up the :Category:Wikipedia requested photographs category and related subcategories.  I've been using these categories as a source of requests to fulfill, but they're all chockablock with random and unrelated requests and are hard to navigate.  If you're interested in helping, please see User:Twp/Drafts/WikiProject Photo Requests for more ideas, and add your name at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Photo Requests if you'd like to help out.

thread_title:  Photo Request Cleanup project? 

message: I've made the table sortable, as a start towards making it usable - if desired - as a place to go to find a photographer. Locations would probably have to be changed, to something like Country, State/Province, City/Town (for example, "USA, Maryland, Rockville"), to be really useful. -- John Broughton   (♫♫) 02:14, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Attribution in Image captions

message: I would like to remove some of the completely inactive users on this list.  For example, Cgs openly declares that he is no longer around . . . since 2005.  Jenlucas made 4 edits on a single day in 2006 and hasn't been back since.  If contributors do come back to the project, then they can re-add themselves to the list, if they are still interested.
The list is of very limited navigability already, and of little use to anyone if half of the entries are ex-contributors.  Leaving these inactive accounts on the list also does a disservice to those who are seriously interested in contributing photographs.
Are there any objections?  Any thoughts as to what the time for inactivity should be?  I would suggest one year, as that is how long an inactive account is left before it can be merged or a similar account name created.
As I suspect this page isn't very "watched", I'll wait a few days before I just go ahead.  Maedin\talk 18:13, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As predicted, no one is very interested!  I will just carry on.  I've noticed that the page is actually for Wikipedians who have already contributed their own work, and apart from being inactive, there are a few on the list who don't meet that basic criterion.
