OrthodoxWiki:Photo galleries
OrthodoxWiki is launching an ambitious initiative to organize all the images on the site. We will need your help!
Stage One
What we'd like to to is stamp all the images with appropriate image categories. These automatically become photo galleries!
Proposed categories include:
By License:
- Category:Public Domain - for public domain images. 'This has already been done
- Catgegory:GFDL Images - For images released under the GNU Free Documentation License
- Category:CC by-nc-sa Images - For images released under any version of a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-ShareAlike License
- Category:CC by-sa Images - For images released under any version of a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License
Used by permission:
- Category:OCA Images - For images used by permission from OCA.org
- Category:HPL Images - For images used by permission from Holy Land Photos
- Category:Skete Images - For images used by permission from Skete.com
By Subject:
- [[Category:Images of Hierarchs]] - including Bishops, Archbishops, Metropolitans, Patriarchs, etc., both living and departed, both icons and photos.
Under construction
It is helpful to begin at a template (e.g. Template:PD) or category (Category:Bishops and work backwords from there. You may make
Stage Two
Once this is accomplished, we'd like to begin to import images that are public domain or under other "free" licenses and that are appropriate for OrthodoxWiki from other sites on the internet, especially, for example, commons:Category:Orthodox_Church. In this way, OrthodoxWiki will become a central respository for Orthodox images of all types, especially those which are freely available. This is a big project and we need to talk more about how to integrate these into the structure of our current site.
Comments and suggestions about how to do this are most welcome!
