Reason for separation of Royal Observatory and South African Astronomical Observatory
The RO is receiving National Heritage Status shortly and this is quite distinct from its status as a modern observatory. Its campus is the present headquarters of the SAAO but for many people its interest is purely historical. It is therefore desirable to have separate articles treating the historical site and the current national observatory. Capester (talk) 18:47, 26 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Comments left at top of your draft, though from before I read this


 * Ah, I see what you're doing now. I'm not sure whether we should have two articles, or a large section about "Heritage Status" within the existing article. You may have a valid point there. That said, if you just hit "Submit" your average reviewer is not going to understand that you want to make a separate article, so will just Decline as "already exists" like I did. What you're going to need to do is discuss this matter with some other editors so multiple people can come to agreement about whether we need two articles or no. I suggest you check in at WP:Teahouse to talk to the volunteer mentor there. Just make sure you state a very clear question title like "Separate or combined articles for Royal Observatory and South African Astronomical Observatory?" and clearly provide links at the start of your post to both the existing article and your draft, and explain why you think they should be separate.


 * Sorry for the confusion, I misunderstood your intent. I've temporarily "frozen" your Submit with the "nowiki" coding (you can see this in Edit mode. Once you have some clarity on the combined-or-not issue, if you want to Resubmit than just remove the "nowiki" coding from around your Submit tag at top. But if you do so please leave an explicitly clear message at the very top explaining to the reviewer how the issue has been discussed (provide link to the discussion) and editors concluded that we do need two articles.


 * Thanks for your good work, sorry this issue isn't clearly understood by people not familiar with Capetown, thus the confusion. MatthewVanitas (talk) 01:58, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Image review at Commons
Hi Capester,

Thanks for your feedback at the deletion discussion on the Mcclean photograph. I thought as the reviewer who flagged the copyvio I should do you the courtesy of a personal message. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously and this applies as much to images as to blocks of prose. I note that you're proposing to "obtain" a new photograph for the article; please note that you may only licence said photo if it is taken on your camera by you. Any image you transfer from google/flickr/photobucket etc MUST MUST already be licenced on a suitable free distribution licence by its author and the licence detail transferred with the photo, including any mandatory author credits. Please familiarize yourself with Image use policy before uploading any further photos; if in doubt, leave it out. Thanks for your effort in producing an interesting and comprehensive article!
