Talk:Lindau Lighthouse

Motive / Motif
It may be the translation from German, or could just be me, but does the final sentence "The lighthouse is a popular motive for photographs" sound a bit ... off? It makes sense, but I was wondering if it should be "popular motif for photographs" or "popular motive for photographers". The cite doesn't seem to help either way! - L &Ograve;&Oacute; kingYourBest (Talk&#124;Edits) 19:55, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Would 'popular subject' work instead...Jokulhlaup (talk) 17:07, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Good shout. That would pretty much incorporate both angles. - L &Ograve;&Oacute; kingYourBest (Talk&#124;Edits) 19:47, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

The action of a lighthouse being triggered by incoming ships radios is most unusual, and would deny navigation aids to any craft without a working radio. How is it achieved? (I imagine by calling up on a designated VHF channel for the harbour) Is the source material accurate? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Julian D (talk • contribs) 10:31, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Post-move question - is 'Lighthouse' part of the proper name?
The original German page seems to capitalise Lighthouse https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuer_Leuchtturm_(Lindau), as does most of the search results that google return. Do we take translation into account? -  L &Ograve;&Oacute; kingYourBest (Talk&#124;Edits) 10:35, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
