Proposal talk:Camera equipment program/Archive 1

Revision as of 06:04, 6 August 2011 by John Vandenberg (talk | contribs) (reply)

Following are some comments extracted from my mail as seconder.

I was initially concerned that the bar might be set a bit high but the existence of a number of potential recipients suggests it might be OK. We might need to clarify that "categories" on Commons are a lot looser than on WP and define "freely license".

If the grant is retrospective, do the "500 images using the new equipment" overlap with the images used to justify the grant? (IE, I buy a new camera, take 1000 photos with it and upload them with an appropriate free license, then apply for a grant. If I receive the grant, have I already fulfilled the "freely license 500 photographs that use the new equipment" requirement?)

I've revised "freely license" to indicate that they need to be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, and they need to comply with the definition of "photograph" provided. I've also removed "use the new equipment" for the moment, as the new equipment may be a lens which may only be appropriate in limited photography opportunities.
My thinking was that the "500" images would retrospectively cover photographs already uploaded. I think the "500" number may be too high. John Vandenberg 16:04, 6 August 2011 (EST)
