Houses in Shirakawa-go

Hi Laitche. You criticized that the description of Image:Shirakawa-go houses 2.jpg was not accurate. In my understanding, the souvenir shop is not different to other houses in Shirakawa-go (website), even though it is used as an souvenir shop now. But you are wright, I can't read Japanese and I might have tried to find better houses for a picture. However, this would not have been easy as there were people everywhere and also cars and pylons. You are highly welcome to specify or extend the description or add a Japanese version of the image description of the mentioned photograph (also for my other picture). --Leyo 11:15, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Leyo, That is not a criticism :) I thought the meaning of those phrases does not meet the image, that's just my opinion then I didn't oppose. I know what you mean, that is not easy to take a good picture at that place. I added some Japanese information to your images. -- Laitche 12:23, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for adding a Japanese description in both images. --Leyo 12:56, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Butterfly Reset

Dear Laitche, there where some concerns by Dori that i did mayor changes while fixing the posterization spoken by Laitche and Alvesgaspar. I did small changes in the lower right corner which is a tad lighter now. To make shure everything is going correctly i kindly asking you if you can vote again and would be very thankful.

Sorry about all the discussion about the William Adolphe Beugeareux painting. If it doesn't pass because of the confusion, I promise to renom it. Nice work on the last version, by the way, though I'm still inclined to tweak saturation up a tad. Adam Cuerden 14:45, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Your rose

Your rose is beautiful but a bit too dark. What do you think of this version? - Alvesgaspar 08:18, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I thought so too, but I think the white part(the flower) of the nomination version is the best. Although, even now I think the background is too dark, but I didn't want to light up only the background then I didn't do so. Thanks for your opinion. :) -- Laitche 15:46, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

FPC nominations names

May y ask you to give exactly the image name to the FP nominations, instead of some other name? It makes closing much easier! -- Alvesgaspar 20:04, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

• I'm always naming exactly the image name to the FP nominations like as this page. I'm just changing the title of the section, like this => [[:Image:Rose Geranium.jpg|Pelargonium graveolens]]. Then you can close the nomination by same way as other nominations. :) -- Laitche 21:52, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
• Anyway, thanks for closing FP nominations every day. :) -- Laitche 22:04, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

• • The problem is I cannot copy the image name directly from the FPC list, I have to open the picture file (or the nomination section) to see its correct name. Not really serious, but makes the closing process longer and more prone to error -- Alvesgaspar 15:35, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Okay, I got it. I will stop changing the title of the section. :) -- Laitche 15:49, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Request to translate Valued Image project launch announcement to Japanese

Hi Laitche, I am contacting you because you are a native Japanese speaking user, which I have great respect for. I do not know if you have heard of or in any way followed the development of the Valued images project since the beginning of the year? We are now making the final preparations to go on the air on June 1, 2008 0:00 UTC. Our preparations can be followed here: Commons talk:Valued images candidates. Among several to-dos we would like to make an announcement on the most major sister projects, among these the Japanese Wikipedia. I was wondering if you could help us out with a translation to Japanese? And if not, try to delegate the task to another native Japanese users. Thanks in advance, -- Lycaon 22:02, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

 Support Satisfies all six criteria. I would slightly prefer a natural background, but this is the best image of the species, in my opinion. This is a good example of the utility of geocoding since a look at Google Maps shows the species is very tolerant of urban disturbances to the environment.

Hi Laitche, I have a somewhat unusual request for assistance which you may be able to help with, maybe not. On English Wikipedia, I am working on an article/list of Diplomatic missions of Russia and I am in need of photos of:

• Embassy of the Russian Federation in Japan, 1-1, Azabudai; 2-chome, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan, 106-0041
• Consulate General of the Russian Federation, Toyonaka-shi, Nishi Midorigaoka 1-2-2, Osaka-fu, Japan, 560-0005

Link between photographers page

Hello.

I have made a topic called "More good photographers" on my user page. You could create a similar topic on your user page and you could include me in it. --ComputerHotline (talk) 19:36, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
