Yes please :-)

I really think some people nominate way too many photos into one article, it seems like they nominate all they have from one place LOL! It's really annoying!

For certain articles this will be a problem because a lot of topics are not covered by so many people. Perhaps to limit to 20 or so would be more reasonable, but what's the problem if an author has much material about something? If the images are not voted they will be purged automatically as is stated in other topics, but if they're voted, who cares if they're of one or 30 authors?

Yes, of course, i agree...i forgot to mention that I meant nominations that have nothing to do with the article to which they are nominated. As i came across a few who nominated like the whole album of pics from a certain place, even though pics were mostly of uninteresting wall graffiti or other things that you can find anywhere in the world.

I have to admit that in such cases i don't even bother to go through all the pics and rather leave the article alone. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. Everyone should know what is his or her best work. So, nominate your best and avoid unnecessary clutter that is slowing down the page.

Well, people should first be critical to their own work and reduce nominations to those that are really relevant, that really represent the article.

I do agree with you too :)

I cannot agree more... Best would be that people think twice before nominating and really select their most relevant and best pictures for a given article. However, as we all observe, many continue to upload tons of pictures without spending any time selecting... Thus, we will start in the near future by restricting  to 5 nominations per articles per day for a given person hoping this will lead to more careful selection. If not, we will have to take stronger restrictions, I hope it will not be the case.

IMO 5 is a too small number, perhaps 10 or 15 would be better. Lot (the majority I think) of photographers covering a subject will have more than 5 good images to nominate and to limit to 5 by day will just bother those photographers, perhaps the photographers could be (internally, without making it public) ranked by their level of acceptance in order to not penalize good photographers with much material to publish, rather allowing them to do it, ranking down the photographers with low level of acceptance, limiting them to post less images by day.

I think that this feature shouldn't be too difficult to implement and will make a fair deal between photographers with "good" or "bad" publishing criteria. Don't forget we're talking about images, a topic really subjective. I've seen images with 10+ votes wich I would never vote, so the criteria at the end, IMO, should be based in the community acceptance (or selection criteria) rather than in just a restriction for all of us.

Sandro, the limit will be 5 per day in one given article forcing people to select the 5 best they have for this subject. If they feel they have more, they can come back the next day. However they still can post the same day in other articles with a 50 limit altogether.

What we want to avoid that way is a behaviour that we see constantly: people coming back from a trip in Italy let say and dropping all their pictures of Italy at once in the "Italy" article which is really bad.

The correct behaviour is :

- select the best pictures you have for a specific landmark, monument, ... and drop less than 5 in the article for each of these specific places

- out of all the above (already dropped in very specific pages)  select the best for specific cities and drop less than 5 in each city article

- out of the just above (for cities) select the 5 that are the best and most representative of Italy and drop them in the Italy page

Then in one day you could have nominated 50 (like today) but you would have done a much better job at documenting them and making the best job at each level to select the best and most relevant for the specific subject instead of just flooding the Italy article with 50 pictures that will just create additional noise at this very generic level. 

Hi Jean-Marie, is clear your point of view and I do share you vision about this kind of spam from certain photograpers or with "generic" articles. Even from the documentation point of view I do agree with you. Most of the published images (I do include myself on this...) don't have even a decent title, and less a good description, so yes, finally I've to agree with you. Some times really good pictures are meaningless because we don't know what we're looking at and that could be changed with just some "editing" time from the author, documenting it.

First point is quality (image and documentation), second and last, number. At the end the objective is a high quality encyclopedia, so there shouldn't be any hurry to publish the total material we have.

Usually the hurry is enemy of quality :)

I agree with many comments here. There needs to be a cap on how many photos one photographer can add to a topic. 

In the interests of quality of the website, as well as to encourage photographers to be more selective with their images.

I don't think there should be a limit as such on the total photos in an article. That would defeat the purpose of this website! 

Having a daily cap per article makes sense however as photos could maybe realistically be spread evenly through more detailed article selections. e.g. Instead of just "Italy", they could be placed in a specific topic such as Italian cultural events etc.

Anyway, fotopedia is a great site! 

Keep up the good work.
