Talk:Hamdan International Photography Award

Name?
The award's/awards website repeatedly (consistently?) calls it/them the "Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum International Photography Award(s)". Which is not a name that trips off my tongue, but is perhaps a more appropriate title for this article. -- Hoary (talk) 23:28, 2 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi! Just saw your comments, so sorry for the late answer.


 * here link http://www.hipa.ae/en/about-us/introduction where the name of award "With this in mind H.H. Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Al Maktoum established the prestigious ‘Hamdan International Photography Award’" abbreviation: HIPA — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leshavskaya (talk • contribs) 19:00, 7 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Ah, good, thank you. OK, let's keep the article's current, shorter title. -- Hoary (talk) 00:16, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry but i don't see any reason to change the name of article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leshavskaya (talk • contribs) 18:08, 10 August 2014 (UTC) --Leshavskaya (talk) 18:10, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Hoary !before renaming you should discuss it before! please back original name of article because your deeds breaking rules wikipedia!--Leshavskaya (talk) 18:17, 10 August 2014 (UTC)


 * When I said (on 8 August 2014) "let's keep the article's current, shorter title", I meant "let's keep the article's current, shorter title of 'Hamdan International Photography Award' (as opposed to 'Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum International Photography Award[s]')". The article's history The article's history clearly shows that, on 10 August, in the space of thirty minutes, Leshavskaya moved the article to a new title, moved it back, and then moved it to its current title, "HIPA (Hamdan International Photography Award)" (which I agree is a strange title indeed). -- Hoary (talk) 01:27, 11 August 2014 (UTC) ... Link changed after the latest (so far!) moving of the page. -- Hoary (talk) 09:04, 11 August 2014 (UTC)


 * This article's title clearly should be 'Hamdan International Photography Award'. -Lopifalko (talk)


 * I wonder how Leshavskaya could have forgotten that she (he?) had so recently renamed it to something else. -- Hoary (talk) 09:04, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
 * she. The point is that the principle of work for some reason is remove and then discuss. This comment scared me that something again has been removed / changed without notice.

Initially, the article was named HIPA (Hamdan International Photography Award). In June it was changed to Hamdan International Photography Award, I did not attach any importance to this for some reason, and eventually forgot about it. Then translated into English with name Hamdan International Photography Award. Then you offered to cut and and I got scared that you have already done so, as it is the style of working on the article. Then I decided to return to the original name of the article and made change in English-language version, but i had got difficulty with it. I think all of this can be seen in history.--Leshavskaya (talk) 18:10, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

All that money!
The article tells us:
 * The annual total prize money $400000 (US Dollars, in 2013 total prize money was $389000) — the largest monetary prize among photographic awards.[1][3][4][5][6][7]

One of the sources was the Daily Telegraph. I looked this up.

The author of "Creating the future of photography" is most impressed by the amount of money involved, but she doesn't compare this amount with the amounts elsewhere.

Money aside, the author writes:
 * This year there was a strong UK presence on the nine-strong international judging panel, which included Caroline Metcalfe, director of photography at Conde Nast Traveller magazine, Cheryl Newman, director of photography at the Telegraph Magazine, Jon Jones, photographer and director of photography at the Sunday Times Magazine, as well as Susan Baraz, the chairman of the Lucie Awards and head of judging at the International Photography Awards in Los Angeles and the photography director of AtEdge. [my emphasis]

The article is written by Cheryl Newman.

I wonder if the largesse might possibly have gone to her head. The article reads less like something on an arts page than something on a society page. And there's: (The WP article on him mostly refers to him as "Hamdan".) -- Hoary (talk) 09:04, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
 * His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai
 * flown in by His Highness
 * His Highness launched the Hamdan International Photography Awards (HIPA) in 201I

I do not understand your comment. Could you please write your comments without figurative expressions, more specifically. What confuses you?--Leshavskaya (talk) 19:08, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Flags
Dear Hoary I immensely grateful to you for your time and assistance with the article. But I ask you, if you make a comment on the design, in this case, the flags used incorrectly, please do not delete. You could say I correct. Rather than remove the brackets and put the round (ie instead of a flag, the name of the country to leave) I need to spend a lot more time to sit down and compare the names of the three seasons and write words of nationally! This does not help with your hand. Breaking - not to build.--Leshavskaya (talk) 19:31, 7 August 2014 (UTC)


 * OK then. As you will see, I reverted my edit, bringing back the flags. Their use here isn't proper; and if you do want to suggest the nation from which the person comes then I suggest standard two-letter abbreviations; I've started the job of converting from flags (which improperly imply that the person represented the nation) to such abbreviations. -- Hoary (talk) 00:35, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok. thanks. But please, do not delete anything before we discuss it...--Leshavskaya (talk) 18:34, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Discussion
Dear friends, I thankful for your help in order to make the article better but I want to ask you not to remove all radically. There is a discussion page. You can write your comments and suggestions, discuss and we can come to a common solution. Why is it better? Because the person who wrote the article, puts into own time and efforts. And then, often, have to do double work - to restore the information but with the changes. I will check all your comments and suggestions within 17.08.2014 --Leshavskaya (talk) 20:38, 10 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I've moved your comment from the top to the bottom. (This is how article talk pages work.) And because the original title now made no sense, I've retitled it, I hope satisfactorily. -- Hoary (talk) 09:10, 11 August 2014 (UTC)


 * The 'Award categories' section should be rearranged into chronological order. -Lopifalko (talk)
 * Lopifalko What you mean? Must be placed under the winners?--Leshavskaya (talk) 18:22, 17 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Manual of Style/Lists of works says "Items should normally be listed in chronological order of production, earliest first". WP:SALORDER says "Chronological lists, including all timelines and lists of works, should be in earliest-to-latest chronological order." -Lopifalko (talk)
 * done--Leshavskaya (talk) 19:30, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
