Naming convention for images

[ArtMan]

Someone suggested this earlier - forgive me for not recalling who - but I would like to again promote the idea of including the place name in at least one image uploaded for each mark. I normally do it in the closeup, e.g. "Closeup of HV9674, Fairfax County, VA."

 

I think it makes the gallery that much more interesting. Most of these survey disks look pretty much alike, but I think it would be nice to know that we are getting logs from lots of different states, exotic locales, etc.

 

I'm not suggesting this as a formal requirement, just an idea to make this activity a bit more interesting.

 

Comments?

I think that would be cool.......

But, if I were to take the trouble to do it, how about a defined format to follow?

 

Kinda like what the NGS/NOAA use for photo submissions......

 

Its somewhere on their website, but I cant find it again right now (its 1AM) ....

 

That way they could be submitted to NGS while fitting their requirements without having to change or update them later......

 

Figured that is what I would do anyway.

 

- ArtMan.....I take it your name is Art?

 

Mine is too!..

I think the hope of any kind of automatic upload to NGS is in the fairly far future. I think the simple request to include the location in the name (because that is what shows in the gallery) for at least one picture of a set for a benchmark is an excellent idea that has been suggested before and will need to be mentioned again.

I think it'd be nice if a reminder could be shown right on the post a picture page. I know I screwed mine up when I posted mine. I got name and description reversed and didn't think about telling locations at all.

 

And it looks like there is no way of editing text for photos without resubmitting them?

 

There's 3 kinds of people in this world, those that can count and those that can't.

I have included the location of each find in the image description really for my purposes. That way I can remember which is which.. I would support and conform to a naming convention though.
