Alipore Zoological Gardens

Someone just added some of your photos to this article on Wikipedia. I have reverted this addition because the descriptions tell us nothing about the photo and its context -- they all just repeat information about the zoo itself. The photos are great (they show parts of the zoo, not just the animals), so if you could say what we are actually seeing in each photo (for instance, which animal lives in this particular enclosure), rather than providing a generic description of the zoo, I would be happy to restore them to the article with appropriate captions. The photos in question are: File:Alipore Zoological Garden - Kolkata 2011-01-09 0053.JPG, Alipore Zoological Garden - Kolkata 2011-01-09 0064.JPG, Alipore Zoological Garden - Kolkata 2011-01-09 0075.JPG, and Alipore Zoological Garden - Kolkata 2011-05-03 2702.JPG. I have updated the "0064" description to more descriptive text since it's obvious what it is. Thank you. Donlammers (talk) 00:39, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, for reverting the page. I checked that, you are right, those photographs do not fit for the 'Alipore Zoological Gardens' article, those may be used to other projects. I also appreciate for the changes made of the "0064" description. Actually, a lot of photographs were uploaded to Commons by a general caption, so the individual caption could not be made till now. Again, the lead photograph was also been changed, that does not reflects the total environment of the entrance. With regards, -- Biswarup Ganguly (talk) 04:39, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

East Kolkota Wetlands

Copy to you: I just removed them on the basis that galleries are discouraged. Several look almost identical anyway, like this IP is just inserting everything on Commons. In this case also, the descriptions are not very helpful. Thanks for the heads up. Donlammers (talk) 14:40, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
