Image credit full name
Hi Cacophony, I'm a designer with the Beaty Museum here in Vancouver, Canada. As a non-profit, public institution, we're building a collection for display and would like to use a couple of your images for our label information panels. Our policy is to credit a contributer's full name...would you be able to provide that me. In private, if you prefer.

I created a new section of Portal:Oregon, Portal:Oregon/Selected panorama, specifically for panorama shots. I added all that you had recommended at Portal talk:Oregon, if we add 2 more we'd have an even 10 panorama shots. Any chance you have 2 more? It'd be nice if they pertained to a specific Oregon-related article that we could link to in the bottom right for "More...", and if it's something different not yet used in a previous panorama shot. Beautiful images, great photographic work! Cirt (talk) 04:36, 12 January 2008 (UTC).

Pano help
Hi Cacophony, I've been enjoying your recent panoramas, the one of Cuzco is awesome. I can only offer limited help but I'll do what I can: What stitcher are you using? If it is PTGui then I think there is an option for setting horizontal line control points. Same with Hugin and Autopano Pro. If it is photomerge on PS then you need to do the horizon correction post stitch using the (Edit > Transform > Warp) or (Edit > Transform > Skew) commands. You need to correct the vignetting on the source files which it looks like went uncorrected. Thats easy in either Camera RAW or (Filter > Distort > Lens Corrections) I can do that bit for you, but I really would have trouble stitching for you about now. See I'm on a old PowerBook G4 and so its sluggish even when I'm stitching things under 12000px. Let me know if you upload one after removing the vignetting. I can probably correct the Horizon well enough. -Fcb981(talk:contribs) 04:00, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Check out this that I found on the ptgui website. Essentially what you were looking for, right? -Fcb981(talk:contribs) 13:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, that was basically what I was looking for, unfortunately it doesn't work the way the tutorial claims it does. I can manipulate the photos individually, but it won't let me stitch it without optimizing. When I optimize it recreates the curved horizon. I have better luck with PhotoMerge in Photoshop Elements, but the color blending has problems. I might try to make smaller stitches and then stitch those into a larger one. I dunno, I'm running out of options and patience. Thanks for your help though. Cacophony (talk) 23:37, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Re: Pano Help
Hi Cacophony,
I could have a shot - but it'd be easier to start from scratch. Could you upload the originals to wiki? Thanks, --Fir0002 21:27, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Cacophony,
- Sorry for the delay in responding but I've been pretty busy recently as I've been away in Melbourne. Thanks for the link to smugmug but they have a truly useless interface in downloading the images (also I'm not sure which ones are part of the set) so I'd appreciate it if you could upload them to wiki. If not perhaps try using a service like yousendit --Fir0002 09:50, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Seatle Pano
Hi Cacophony,
Sorry for the time it's taken but I've just kind of done it in bits and pieces around other things. I tried a few stitchers and am still not particularly happy with the result but thought I'd let you see it anyway: Image:Seattle pano stitch fir0002.jpg. I've downsized it as I didn't have the RAM/CPU or the patience to do it at full res. The main problem is that your lens seems to have fairly bad vignetting and this creates unseemly dark areas in the sky at the seams. I guess it would be possible but it would be quite tedious as skies are very unforgiving for small mis alignments in the lighting gradient. I noticed you'd got it stitched quite well by someone else already so it may be redundant but I thought you might like to compare anyway. --Fir0002 03:10, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Re NPOV in Firozabad
Hi, I found that you had contested the neutrality of the article Firozabad. I went through its talk page but could not find a reason. Hope you would elaborate. Cheers. Tarun2k (talk) 21:29, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- I put the NPOV tag on there a while ago. At that time the article contained such phrases as:
- The city suffers from child labour, low literacy, and pollution. Firozabad City, where people breathe not air but glass, where every second vehicle on the road is found fully loaded with glittering bangles of vivid colours. In this city, if you will stay for two days, you will find it very difficult to imagine that, if it had not been for glass, then what this city would have done.
- The city is also an important market center. It has severe winter and summer seasons. The district is mostly flat and its slope is from north west to south.
- There are many Eye catching places ..
- These have been removed so I guess the tag can be removed. I hadn't been to the page since I added the tag. Thanks, Cacophony (talk) 04:30, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. will remove the tag accordingly. :) Tarun2k (talk) 09:22, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Blue Bridge
Hi Cacophony, I just spruced up Blue Bridge (Oregon) with a few details, one of which is the geolocation. Could you look at the point I chose and see if that is, in fact, in the middle of the bridge. Judging by your photograph, it looks like the building at the end of the bridge might not be right according to the satellite view, though it's hard to see. —EncMstr (talk) 03:20, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- That looks perfect. Good job on the article as well. Cacophony (talk) 07:00, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, but I didn't do that much of the article. The location is bothering me because the photograph shows the bridge distinctly curving to the left, but on the satellite image it look straight. Which direction did you face? —EncMstr (talk) 07:14, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
- It is strange that it dosen't show the curve in the satellite. It does have a change in elevation as well that might affect the perspective from overhead. I was looking to the north when I took that image. You can see the entryway to Bradgon at the right side.
100+ Waterfalls???
Hello, I saw your name on the list of participants for the wikiproject waterfalls. Currently I am working on an article here at wikipedia.org titled, "List of Waterfalls in Hamilton, Ontario" and we have at least 100 here in town where I'm from. I would like to know if there are any other cities or towns from around the world that you know of that have more than 100 waterfalls like we have here in Hamilton? Thanks! Nhl4hamilton | Chit-Chat 19:19, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
- I sure don't. Everybody that I have asked is amazed that there are 100 waterfalls in one city. It must be a beautiful place! Cacophony (talk) 06:50, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
- Two places come to mind. One is Hana, Hawaii (photo of bottom of it). Depending on how one counts waterfalls, some of those little rivulets might be considered separate waterfalls. The other is near Ocho Rios, Jamaica: Dunn's River Falls. Again, the photo doesn't do justice. There is quite an extensive set of falls upward for hundreds of feet. This is clearly not in any city though. The only other places coming to mind are remote mountain rivers, such as the North Fork North Fork Breitenbush River (photo) which may have hundreds of falls, but not so much as an unincorporated community for dozens of miles.... —EncMstr (talk) 07:07, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Interstate Bridge
I have a question concerning the Interstate Bridge which you created. I know that both bridges have a lift to let boats go by, and the bridges also carries Interstate 5 traffic. Acording to the article, "The lift takes 10 minutes to open and does so between 10 and 20 times per month", so what I am wondering is when the lifts are in operation, what happens to the vehicle traffic? Are there traffic lights? Even though it is an interstate? Or are the lifts defunct? Wonder if you could clear that up. OOODDD (talk) 20:34, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
- There are several sets of traffic lights on the bridge and when the bridge opens (it still does every once in a while, not very often though) traffic is backed up for a long time. It is really crazy to think about I-5 shutting down for 10 minutes but it does still happen. Cacophony (talk) 04:30, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Curious about your criteria
- We are determining if it meets the featured picture criteria not judging it on its artistic merit. It could be the most beautiful shot in the world, but unless it provides a significant contribution to the encyclopedia article, it should not be a featured picture.
A "beautiful" photograph is significant because it fully expresses itself in relation to its topic. Are you using a different definition of beautiful? Beauty is often defined as "an outstanding example of its kind", hence significance or importance is implicit in anything deemed beautiful. I would argue that there is no other essential criteria but beauty. File:Homeless on bench.jpg is one of the most beautiful photographs of homelessness I have ever seen, and the opposes were completely unjustified, with many saying that they wanted a photograph of an entire person. That's not acceptable, because not only would it be wrong to describe someone as homeless and show their face, but an image of just bare feet and legs on a park bench with garbage in the background is more informative to the viewer. The outcome of this vote shows that that the featured picture system is broken. Viriditas (talk) 11:45, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
- While I agree that the FPC process isn't perfect, I don't really agree that it is inherently broken nor do I think that you can judge the entire process based on one nom. The most important factor to me is how well the nom illustrates an article. Many beautiful sunset photos have failed FPC because they don't add enough to the encyclopedia, not because they weren't incredibly beautiful. Many ugly images have been promoted because they are technically excellent and highly illustrative. Whatever your opinion may be on specific images everyone gets to determine if the image meets the criteria and it is up to the closer to determine what the consensus is. On commons it is all about artistic merit and the image nomination passed there, so I think the process worked in this case. Cacophony (talk) 06:31, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, in that case, how does the image in question fail to illustrate the topic of urban poverty? Can you point me to a strong opposing argument? Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 09:58, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
- First of all, I think it is a highly reproducible image and therefore should be very close to ideal. For me the ideal image of a homeless person would have to include their face. Granted, the image of a homeless person's feet does a lot to illustrate the condition of homelessness, but I just don't think the best illustration of such a human condition "puts a face on it". This image and this one are closer to what I would be looking for but both noms failed on technical merits in spite of their encyclopedic value. Cacophony (talk) 20:25, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Troy Polamalu image
Hi Cacophony. You recently removed an image that you felt was unencyclopedic, and I was just curious as to why you thought so. Thus far, it is the best quality image of Polamalu's hair that we have. His hair is a very distinctive physical feature, so there is a need to illustrate it using a high-quality photo. I tried to look for a guideline/policy that restricts the use of such images, but couldn't find anything--is there one?
I like your pictures, by the way. Great work. BlueAg09 (Talk) 08:48, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- Ahhh yeah, I forgot about that. I removed it because of the selective coloring (removal of the green of the field) made into more of an artsy shot than a typical encyclopedia image. I went looking for a better image on Flikr and got sidetracked. I should have re-added it once it became obvious there weren't many good freely licensed images available. Sorry bout that.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.
For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:40, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Cacophony, I am a graphic designer who is aiding a first-time writer, by designing a cover for his first, self-published novel. Seeing as the setting for the book is Portland, I wanted to use your shot titled: HawthorneBridge-Pano.jpg. for the rear cover. To credit you properly, I would include the phrase "image courtesy of..." You can email me on iaemorrison@elmwood.ac.uk. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akalongman (talk • contribs) 21:31, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

| For your many wonderful images. I'm always delighted to find one of yours when I'm hunting for photos at the Commons. Most recently that includes File:IndianPaintbrush1.jpg and File:PaintedHillsPano4.jpg, which I've added to John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. Aside from being directly useful in articles, your images are good models for other photographers, including me, to emulate.

Suggestion for WikiProject United States to support WikiProject Washington
It was recently suggested that WikiProject Washington might be inactive or semiactive and it might be beneficial to include it in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States. I have started a discussion on the projects talk page soliciting the opinions of the members of the project if this project would be interested in being supported by WikiProject United States. Please feel free to comment on your opinions about this suggestion. --Kumioko (talk) 01:31, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
Burton Memorial Tower photo
Hi. Noticed when adding photos to List of tallest buildings in Detroit, that the Burton Memorial Tower photo (which appears to have been loaded by your user name) is scaled quite large by comparison. Can this photo scale be sized smaller to make it more user friendly when listing with other photos? Thanks. Thomas Paine1776 (talk) 22:07, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
use a image of yours
Hi, we are doing a story in our TRAVEL Section about places to see in 2012 and Portland OR is one of them. I'd like to use an image or two of yours if that would be OK. We would need your full name for a photo credit as well. Nice images sir. ----

image credit
Hi Cacophony, I would like to use your image of Mount Hood from OHSU on a website for an upcoming conference located near Mount Hood. I see that the CC license requires "attribution – You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor" but there is nothing that makes it clear to me what you specify. May I use this image for the website, and if you want me to credit it, how should I do so? Thank you very much! Sarah Sarahgid (talk) 00:28, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
- You can just put "Photo by Wikipedia user Cacophony" in the caption or on the image itself. Thanks! Cacophony (talk) 00:39, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
photo permission, "oregon city bridge"
Hello Cacophony, I am contacting you on behalf of Sharon Wood Wortman. She is the author of Big & Awesome, a book being put together by volunteers under the sponsorship of a non-profit. Our goal is to give free books to Portland Public Schools and Vancouver School District third and fourth graders. We would like permission to use your image of the Oregon City Bridge in our book. We would give you a full name credit on the image. (if you provide it) Thanks, Josh — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.145.77.122 (talk) 19:24, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
Photo Credit for Museum
Hello Cacophony, I am working to produce content for a new science museum that is opening in Spokane, Washington for an exhibit about the Ice Age Floods. We would like to use one of your photos in the exhibit, and would like to know what your name is so that we can credit the photos. Would you be willing to provide that information? Your photos are wonderful, and have been a great asset to us! Thank you very much!
Best, Stephanie Lanning
