A discussion page for photography-newbies/wannabe-contributors?[edit]

Hi Jeff G.,

I am looking for a discussion forum for users who are new to photography, kind of like a reference page. Does Commons have such a page? Thanks in advance, Ottawahitech (talk) 19:09, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Ottawahitech: No, sorry. Please read COM:NOTSOCIAL again.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 22:41, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Why are you sending me to read nonsocial? I not interested in "chat with your friends, create personal profile", etc. I am afraid you are making some unwarranted assumptions about me.
What I said above was that I was looking for a place on commons where users who are new to photography can ask newbie type questions, a reference desk. I am assuming that commons is interested in gaining more contributors who have something to offer the wiki-movement at large. No?
While I am at it, I would like to inform you that I personally know some very talented photographers who would not touch Commons with a ten foot pole... and now that I have taken out my frustration (you are just part of it), you can go ahead and delete this message and erase the words that I spent valuable time composing,.

@Ottawahitech: Sorry, I read your block logs on en and meta wikis. You may ask questions at COM:HD or discuss Commons-related matters at COM:VP.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 16:35, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Just a relieved comment[edit]

As I am often struggling with some tools or gadgets I was relieved to see at the discussion about good images at the help desk that for once a tool didn't for someone else (you) but it works for me. The tool that doesn't work for me is the image annotator so if I edit with that one, or want to see some image annotations I change accounts. Maybe an option for you too if you want to track quality images? Paradise Chronicle (talk) 00:01, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
