Revision as of 16:37, 10 April 2010 by imported>Relet (a clarification, and a reform)

When creating a new Expedition Images gallery, please copy the following code to the new page:

<!-- Please  do not include more than 1 photo per graticule. -->
<!-- See Template:Expedition Images/How-to for more information. -->

<gallery widths="160px" align=center>
Image:20080820 52 7-RES01486.JPG|[[2008-08-20 52 7|Ochtrup, Germany]]
</gallery>

Don't forget to copy the gallery limits as well as the gallery code itself, so as to alert others to the rules.

Formatting

Each line within the <gallery>...</gallery> tags is to be in the format:

Image:IMAGE NAME|[[MEETUP PAGE TITLE|LOCATION]]

  • Image names should conform to the standard YYYY-MM-DD LAT LON DESCRIPTION naming method.
  • Meetup pages should conform to the standard YYYY-MM-DD LAT LON.
  • Location names should be brief, but descriptive... generally "City, Country" (or "City, State" in the case of the United States).
    • Generally speaking, one should include the location of the geohash itself; however, in cases where this might be ambiguous or otherwise confusing, the graticule name as listed at All Graticules will suffice.

Guidelines

Some guidelines for the gallery subpages...

  • For each day include not more than one image from each graticule, especially if space is limited. Share the wealth...
  • Use an existing Images subpage as a starting point for creating a new one, or follow the how-to.
  • Add new photos to the start of the gallery.
  • Please exercise judgment as to whether your photo is genuinely worth adding to the gallery, especially if it would mean removing one of the existing photos where space is limited.
