Singapore trip
Hi mate, I will be going to Singapore for 4 days and will be picturing a lot of cars there. have you been there? If yes, tell me which cars do you want me to picture and I'll store it on OneNote and will make a list of the cars.

Any further pics, let me know mate -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 06:41, 4 November 2017 (UTC)


 * I haven't no, the furthest I ever went from the UK was the Isle of Wight, not exactly sure what cars would be there other then the few odd chinese and rebadged. --Vauxford (talk) 14:25, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

You're profile
Hi, I noticed you have a list of car users, most notably former Wikipedia user OSX. I worked with him in ensuring the images of Aussie vehicles were on Wikipedia. Since he has departed I have taken his role as the ONLY Australian and Singaporean car photographer on Wikipedia. Would you please consider adding me to your profile considering I have made heavy contributions with my photos :)

-- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 14:23, 9 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Yeah sure. --Vauxford (talk) 14:52, 9 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Cheers mate, I do a lot of photography of vehicles in my home state of WA. I suffer a car disease, making me love cars too much :) -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 15:10, 9 December 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm always out documenting what I can find on the UK roads. It been less than a year and I already surpass over a 1000+ photos. --Vauxford (talk) 15:12, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Peel P50 picture Comment
Hi Vauxford, I've reverted the picture on the Peel P50 page back to the previous one of the car in the Lane Museum. Yours is a much better picture, but despite its fake licence plate, the car in the photo at the NEC is actually a brand new (2017) replica P50 by p50cars.com. It is very difficult to spot the differences unless you start poking about underneath. There was a real P50 on show at the show on the National Microcar Rally stand (reg no CHN 410B) Hopefully you might have got a photo of that one as well? Mighty Antar (talk) 02:16, 18 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Oh, so they basically put the license plate of a genuine one onto the newer one, because when I looked up the plate and it was genuine. I just notices the modern looking vents on the bottom. I can see how it very hard to tell apart sadly I don't have no other photos of a Peel P50, but thank you for letting me know. I found that very sneaky of them to do that, kinda disappointed with the stall for doing that. --Vauxford (talk) 02:26, 18 December 2017 (UTC)


 * I think "sneaky" is being very polite about what they were doing! Don't let it put you off continuing to do brilliant work to improve Wikipedia - have a great Christmas. Mighty Antar (talk) 13:02, 18 December 2017 (UTC)


 * You too! --Vauxford (talk) 13:25, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

CR-V 4th gen not 5th gen
Hi Vauxford, Thanks for sharing your images of cars pictured in England.


 * File:2017 Honda CR-V EX i-VTEC Automatic 2.0.jpg is actually a 4th gen CR-V not a 5th Gen as outlined by a different shape style. I have amended your error and because you think it was a 5th gen, it isn't as the 5th gen is a more boxier style shape, whereas this is a rounded off shape. Mind you, a relative owns one so I know what they look like :) -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 02:03, 11 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Oh that was my mistake sorry. I didn't look at them properly. Thank you for fixing it up. --Vauxford (talk) 13:11, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Car interiors
Hey Vauxford, Thanks for taking the many required car photos for use on Wikipedia. I was wondering, because I never get the chance to go to car dealerships, yet alone my friends who came sorta rushed me from taking pictures of vehicle interiors. Is it possible for you to look for all the new vehicle interiors when you go to car dealerships please. If you can get some vehicle interior shots, that'd be great -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 09:04, 23 May 2018 (UTC)


 * I have taken some shots of the vehicle interiors, especially the new vehicles. One reason why I didn't do all of them is they are already high quality images of them in the Commons. Taking pictures can be difficult due to the closed space which tend to be very dark which can make my camera unable to photograph, depending on the showroom lighting but I will try and get more interior shots when I'm out and about again. --Vauxford (talk) 12:27, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
 * That happened to me at the car show, so I had to resort to my mobile phone. Can't your mobile phone do the interior shots, I mean its quite better -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 12:28, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Good point, I often use my Samsung as a last resort when it comes to lighting, it does make the image have a lighter tint though. You can tell the difference some of the pictures I took with it. --Vauxford (talk) 12:30, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The lighting doesn't have to be perfect, however needs to be sufficient. As said, don't just shove images that you have immediately uploaded to Wikimedia for Wikipedia articles. After uploading the interior images, send me the image and I'll critique it. cheers -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 12:32, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Well in the meantime you could take a look at my existing ones I took. --Vauxford (talk) 12:33, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Yep, did and will use them for Wikipedia. -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 12:34, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

V70 XC / XC70 pictures
First of all: Thank you very much for contributing so many high quality pictures. Great work!

There is a slight issue with one of your indeed better quality pictures for the V70 XC / XC70 section of the Volvo V70 article. The photographed car has been customized which makes it not an ideal candidate to show the XC looks. The big issue is with the rear picture (2004 Volvo XC70 D5 SE AWD Geartronic 2.4 Rear.jpg). The rear bumper and rear wheel arch extension(s) have been painted and a spoiler has been installed. Admittedly the spoiler is an original item, or at least a replica of the OE one. Bumper and wheel arch extension(s) were always unpainted, textured black...ish plastic and from the factory a rear spoiler was not an option for the XC70.

The smaller issue is with the front picture (2004 Volvo XC70 D5 SE AWD Geartronic 2.4 Front.jpg). Mostly because the now painted bumper and wheel arch extensions are visible.

Do you mind if this is reverted to the old pictures? I agree they are of worse quality.

 * Hmm I see what you mean. To be honest I didn't notice it until now. I have reverted the edit since you made a valid point. --Vauxford (talk) 16:41, 31 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Not surprising that you did not notice, it is a rather subtle detail. If you find another XC without modifications feel free to use pictures of that. 2A04:4540:900:4200:F050:2D85:A247:DFDE (talk) 20:14, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Car pic request
Vauxford, could you do me a favour and picture the new Ford Mustang convertible. The reason being is that at the motor show I attempted to picture the car but it came out extremely blurry. Cheers -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 07:20, 1 June 2018 (UTC)


 * The 2018 Ford Mustang itself isn't going to be in this country for a while (Like around September or so). Unless you mean the current Mustang Convertible than I will try and keep a look out. --Vauxford (talk) 12:03, 1 June 2018 (UTC)


 * The current 2015-2017 Ford Mustang please -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 12:23, 1 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Got it. --Vauxford (talk) 12:25, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W213)
Dear Vauxford, Is it possible for you to take new high quality images of the sedan and wagon version of the new Mercedes-Benz W213/S213 please. We are looking for some extremely high quality image. Please provide both front and rear shots. Thanks, -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 10:57, 5 June 2018 (UTC)


 * I will put it on my to-do list. I haven't been to my local Mercedes garage anyway. I will also keep a look out for any on the road. --Vauxford (talk) 11:01, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Image replacement
Hey Vauxford, Thanks for uploading some of your latest images. I notice that you replaced a very high quality image of a white BMW X1 on Inokom. I personally believe that my image is higher quality because it is against a nice background, compared to yours because it has cars that are distracting the image.

File:2018 BMW X1 xDrive18D Sport 2.0.jpg

File:2016 BMW X1 (F84) xDrive25i wagon (2017-07-15) 01.jpg

Could you explain to me why you chose to replace a good quality image of the white BMW with your blue car which has a lot of reflections and distractions.

Cheers, -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 12:40, 12 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi Nim, now looking at it, although yours is good and have small amount of distraction but you have a tendency of cropping pictures much too tight. It also slightly tilted while the one I use gives a nice overall example of what the latest model looks. The reflection you mention is just because it was brand new. It wasn't that sunny when I took it. Sometimes distraction can't be avoided but since perspective is good as well as the quality that why I replaced it. ...if that make sense?


 * P.S: My bad over the clumsy edit on J-Segment. Copypaste errors tend to happen when you use it alot and end up forgetting which image you have on your clipboard. --Vauxford (talk) 17:53, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Renault Tailsman
Dear Vauxford, Could you please get an image of the Renault Tailsman sedan? We have really bad quality images of the sedan models and I think if you get both the front and rear, that'd be great -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 11:29, 27 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi Nim, unfortunately the Tailsman isn't sold in the UK (or any right-hand drive market) unless by sheer chance I come across a foreign reg example.


 * They aren't selling the current gen Espace in this country as well. Mostly because nowadays, people are preferring 7-seats SUVs and crossovers and we don't really buy large French cars anymore. --Vauxford (talk) 12:45, 27 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Do you have friends/family who live where the Renault Tailsman is sold? If yes, can you get a photo off them please. Make sure to get a 3/4 full shot of the car and include both front and rear -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 12:47, 27 June 2018 (UTC)


 * I don't have friends or family living in a European country as they all live in the UK. Also they aren't the biggest enthusiast when it comes to cars. Sorry about that. --Vauxford (talk) 13:05, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Car pic request: Audi A4 (B9)
Hey Vauxford, Thanks for your recent contributions. Having struggled finding an A4 with my DSLR, could you do the honours and please look for an Audi A4 (B9). Really appreciate it.

Keep up the amazing work -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 09:25, 12 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi, I recently came back from holiday so I have quite a lot of photos to deal and edit. (160+ photos) As well as the ones I took yesterday at my local classic car show but I will be heading to Stratford-upon-Avon where a Audi dealership is located so I will try and keep a look out. --Vauxford (talk) 19:34, 13 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Kewl mate, if you can get a street shot, that'd be better. Dealerships seem to be crowded -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 03:16, 14 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Well it that or having to wait months until they start appearing on the road. I can't really do much with things in the background. Personally, a few cars in a background is fine as long they doesn't protrude in front of the subject. --Vauxford (talk) 12:04, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks mate for File:2018 Audi A4 Sport TDi Quattro S-A 2.0.jpg – very good shot. I was looking for these :)) -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 03:49, 18 August 2018 (UTC)


 * No problem. --Vauxford (talk) 11:19, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

HiLux image
Thanks for uploading the HiLux image – I have seen plenty of them, but they appear to be commerically modded – thankyou for providing a great shot !! –- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 02:50, 29 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I see your improving as well. A lot more clearer and better lighting on your recent ones. --Vauxford (talk) 03:12, 29 August 2018 (UTC)


 * , I usually tell people to get out of the way – Yeah cheers, I especially like my blue Civic sedan image, its the best one out of all my images -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 03:13, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Image car requests
Dear Vauxford, Could you do me a favour and please picture the following cars.
 * Mazda MX-5 (only the ND model)
 * Alfa Romeo Stelvio (I noticed you only pictured the front, would it be possible to get a new shot showing both the front and rear)
 * Aston Martin Rapide (pre-facelift only, as I have got a high quality shot of the facelift)
 * MG ZS SUV (I took a pic back in Freo, but it turned out as bad quality, so please can you do that)

I enjoy your recent pics, they are very good. Also, one thing, if you don't have any cars that are not sold in the UK, but are sold in Australia, can you post me a list of the vehicles that you want me to picture. I specialise around the Fremantle area due to university. People who park their cars along the High Street are really nice, and allow me to picture their cars without any hassles. Now I do the car photography alone as I have familiarised myself with Freo and I cover greater lengths. People know I use these photos for Wikipedia, so they are aware of what I do with them.

Thankyou for your time and I hope you have a lovely day/night (can't tell which is which [its 7.40pm in Perth]). Cheers, -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 11:39, 8 September 2018 (UTC)


 * I will try to. The pictures you listed are still uncommon on the road, Mazda MX-5 is what I likely able to photographed. --Vauxford (talk) 15:53, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

HiLux image (which is better)
Vauxford, I was out in Fremantle, not long ago and I found a really good picture of a Toyota HiLux. I also noticed you took a similar picture of the HiLux of exactly same colour.



I was wondering which of the two is of higher quality. I believe mine is better because it is at a better 3/4 angle and the brightness of the vehicle is quite right, compared to yours which appears to be a little darker.

If you were the best person to decide, which is better. Please explain your choice, because both are of similar quality albeit of some extremely minor errors. -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 11:47, 12 September 2018 (UTC)


 * , Really, the angle for this case is just depend of preference. It still shows all the characteristic of the vehicle but mine is slightly darker because it was damp on that day. Both of them are decent images. One can be used for the Infobox and the other for the Generation infobox. It was a strange coincidence we both photograph the same spec and colour within days apart. Vauxford (talk) 13:17, 12 September 2018 (UTC)


 * I know it has been 3 months ago mate, however I've made an edit which I've used your UK image for the infobox, because I reckon as you made an edit on the Hyundai i20 edit, but I've used my front and rear as it would be considered matching. Equally your shot is really good mate, but not being fussy, I don't like the raindrops on the image. Generally images can be subjective. Before we revert, we will discuss it in Talk:Toyota Hilux so we are definite that the rear is good. Okay I will do one now :) -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 04:36, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Skoda Fabia article – Davey2010
Hi Vauxford, Knowing you have the best quality image analysis, could you please assist me in analysing which is the better example as per Davey2010's revert.

I find that my new uploads File:2018 Skoda Fabia (NJ MY18.5) 81TSI hatchback (2018-10-01) 01.jpg and File:2018 Skoda Fabia (NJ MY18.5) 81TSI hatchback (2018-10-01) 02.jpg are higher quality due to the following below:
 * File:DerNeueFabia.JPG has more distracting backgrounds of vehicles in comparison to File:2018 Skoda Fabia (NJ MY18.5) 81TSI hatchback (2018-10-01) 01.jpg which has no cars surrounding the shot. In addition, I believe that by Davey2010 reverting the rear view, he is showing the other hatchback picture (File:Skoda Fabia Style (III) – Heckansicht, 2. Mai 2015, Düsseldorf.jpg at a different angle compared to my rear view shot.

Could you please respond to this message with your judgement. Also please bring it to the talk page with your honest opinion. By another user stating his personal opinion I believe he is trying to violate WP:OWN/

Thanks, Nim -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 13:01, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

Suzuki Baleno
Hi, I noticed you reverted this edit I personally felt my grey Baleno was better quality and was cleaner and had a better background

However looking at both of these images I saw your Red Baleno ( has chromatic abrassions and also is very grainy, compared to my Baleno

By looking at both you can see that the Australian Baleno has no leaves on the car and also isn't overly sharpened unlike the red Baleno.

Could you please give me your best judgement and tell me why you think the red Baleno is far superior to my grey Baleno please. Just wondering as your edit summary said "previous was fine" which I don't completely understand. Please can you explain to me why you think that your red Baleno is much better than my grey one. Thanks -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 13:53, 2 October 2018 (UTC)


 * , Reason why I reverted is there was no reason to replace them. The colour was fine, the background was fine, the angle was fine. It is a little messy but that can easily be fixed. Your forgetting the reason why I made that post on your talk page. I'm slowly losing my patience, do you even know what chromatic aberration is? I wasn't even sure if I was using the right term myself. Now your starting to use that term because I said it on a previous talkpage. Same goes with the side shots, I done that mostly for fun and style and didn't really intend to use it on articles but then you picked it up for your own gain.


 * I'm sorry Nim but I think am fully aware the real reason why you doing these spree of edits, which I used to have the same motives myself; Replacing every image with your own, regardless if it was justified and in good faith or not. Your getting too full of yourself and you just shown that from when Davey reverted your other edit simply in good faith and then you accused him of something ridiculous. If these are the reasons why you doing these replacement, then it makes my reason why I photograph cars completely meaningless, what the point of doing these edits if you just gonna replaced them even if they are justified or not and for the vaguest of reasons. --Vauxford (talk) 14:18, 2 October 2018 (UTC)


 * , That is my honest opinion, I'm sorry if some of my statements make me sound like a hypocrite or absurd but that how I feel about this and I couldn't think no other way of saying it. --Vauxford (talk) 14:37, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
 * honestly I really don't care. I have done car photography for the last 3-4 years and I have taken feedback from many users in improving the quality of my images. Honestly, I'm extremely limited... Maybe what i should do is maybe focus on the articles that I know have extremely low quality images and see what I can do to make some refurbishments.

For the past 3 years, User:OSX was the one who wanted me to follow WP:CARPIX. Honestly, he is completely full of himself. He believes that by implementing his methodology that this is going to produce high quality images. I know how u edit and i hope we can discuss this further in the future. Goodnight mate, I better get some sleep now. Im very stressed from the hard work i did on Monday... I did the car pics on my own. Goodnight buddy and hope to see some more of your amazing shots -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 14:41, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

New images – great pics
Hi Vauxford, Thanks for your recent uploads. I especially liked the Suzuki Celerio image. In Australia, these have been sold really poorly (or I think they are on the roads, but don't see them.) I am really impressed with the recent uploads. I've also taken on your feedback about my editing behaviours on Wikipedia. Now I work out to see which images do need replacing, and also I expand my edit summaries to make more sense for users, such as you.

However, I am dismal about your recent revert on Kia Picanto. I mean, your image was fine, but having a look at mine, you can see that when I zoom in on my computer your image has more blurry ends than mine, which is sharper, but i would let you be the judge of it... (I don't mind if you think yours is better but I was working out to see which was sharper on my comptuer).

Thanks for picturing the Celerio, I have been wondering if someone can give me a high quality image of a Celerio. Also, don't worry about removing me as your favourite car photographer, lol its all good !! Stay safe and keep spotting those amazing English cars, while I'm stuck with the Aussie cars, which unfortunately you don't have in England :D :D -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 12:05, 13 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi Nim, thank you for your feedback and I'm glad your taking my advice with what happened a few weeks back. Taking a look at your Picanto, yes yours has more sharper end. I mostly reverted it because of the overwhelm distraction but I'm starting to change my mind about it. As for the GLC class, I decide to not alter it, not because of the background or simplistic wall but because we did need a non AMG Line example (note the front foglights are from the AMG).


 * Apologise if I might of repeated this, but simplistic background and walls are a problem for where I live as it full of hilly roads, Tudor houses and medieval architectures, the blue Kia Picanto which you used is parked behind a historical wall of Warwick Castle as well as the Victorian architectures of Leamington Spa, although it does have some good roads where decent cars are parked like Regent Grove so do bear that in mind with my photos for future edits.


 * Australian cars do sometime appear in the UK, do remember seeing one or two Vauxhall Monaro which is the rebadged of the Holden Monaro (V2) but are quite rare as well as someone imported a Holden Suburban in my area which I photographed. --Vauxford (talk) 12:42, 13 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Really mate, can I proceed with reverting the edit, I will not proceed, until you actually say yes. Just saying, I got about 2 opinions from friends and they say compared to yours, mine is a lot sharper. Besides, I take a long time to achieve a perfect shot.
 * I'm taking massive care in focusing my shots but I want your opinion first. May I proceed? -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 12:45, 13 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Which one? The Picanto? --Vauxford (talk) 12:47, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes sir -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 12:48, 13 October 2018 (UTC)


 * I say you can keep it, I just seen my one, the front wheels didn't get focused so their really blurry. So yes, you can it revert it, I was about to myself. --Vauxford (talk) 12:51, 13 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Done!! – Please note, you are most welcome in overwriting my images. Actually please do so, so they meet your standards !! -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 12:54, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

Your recent edit
Hey Vauxford, Thankyou for your recent edits. I've really got to know how you edit and I've managed to change my editing styles after reading WP:BRD and WP:OWN.

I have a slight concern with your recent edit of Audi A4 in relation to two high quality images. I'll give you my opinion about which of the two is better through a nice summary comparing the two.



I find my image compared to yours is slightly better because of the following
 * Cleaner rims
 * Less distracting backgrounds i.e. no cars
 * Very minimal reflections, having a look at your car it has plenty of reflections as it is a dark colour
 * The wall in the background is a good backshadow. Despite it not being in a historical area, it shouldn't have a massive impact on the quality

This is why my image is better. As per WP:BRD, I was bold in my edit, you reverted it and now we are discussing it. Could you please tell me which of the two is better. Because this is a similar case with the Kia Picanto. I would like to know so we can agree on terms.

Cheers -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 06:30, 21 October 2018 (UTC)


 * , This is nowhere near similar to the Kia Picanto case, I let you reverted that one because the one I took was blurry in that aspect. Regardless I don't see the problem as your image is still being used but in a different area. It helps match the infobox of the B9 section as you photographed both front and rear while my one, I only photographed the front.


 * With the whole "simplistic backgrounds" you been mentioning on your edits, it seem like you're still leaning towards OSX's near impossible CARPIX guidelines. My Audi photo does contain a car in the background but it doesn't always jeopardise the entire photo, especially when my one was photographed at a Audi dealership where there cars everywhere, a little bit of dirt on the rims: so what?. There is a bit of reflection is because the car is new, can't do much about that and not a good enough reason to replace it. --Vauxford (talk) 20:08, 21 October 2018 (UTC)


 * To follow up 2 months ago, please see User talk:Charles01 for discussion on which would be the better example. From now on, I'll be doing that every time yours and mine are higher quality because I do not want to result in conflict and also I want us to settle a truce. However, please note I will discuss with Charles01 for a second opinion, this is the one we will discuss and no longer make any further reverts. I don't mind you reverting, but do not just say "previous is fine" as I'll just revert back with a detailed edit summary on why mine (or another users' as a matter of fact) is better. Okay -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 08:34, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Unexplained replacement
Hi Vauxford, I noticed with your recent upload of  and therefore inserting them to the article, without having a look at the white X5. – Do you have any suggestions that I could improve my shots?

Could you please tell me in your summary, why you believe your image is better than mine. Having a look at mine. I've analysed my image and it is much better quality. Your image looks very blurry and the colour looks to be very dark therefore not being a dominating colour has more reflections.

Please give me a summary of your edits on this talk page, explaining which one is better. I've zoomed into your photo, it appears you may have colour noise and it looks very dark.

-- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 05:47, 26 October 2018 (UTC)


 * , The noise is there because it was getting dark, it didn't help that I messed up one of the settings and ended up having a unnecessary high ISO so I admit it not the best photo I took. I changed it because I wanted some variety when it come to colours but having another look at it, it doesn't seem to work. Also, I think it unnecessary to "zoom into" photos to find quality, not all quality means higher pixels and to be honest it one of your blindspots when it comes to replacing images. --Vauxford (talk) 14:32, 26 October 2018 (UTC)


 * I think what the best idea is to get some extra mentoring from someone who has experience with the car spotting. I've done this for 4.5 years so I know what to look for when picturing a vehicle. I even bashed someone who tried to interfere with my shot. This is sorta unacceptable, but I demand high quality shots without people interfering. In the meantime, could you look for a Subaru Impreza for me please. I have had some bad luck with these cars. I also think your black fence is sorta not contributing well to the shot. I'll retake another X5 for you. Could you look for the Impreza please? Any generation will work, but i like the 5th generation please :)). Also as a suggestion try to limit your car photos. I have a rule, that after 5pm I cease all photographic activities of vehicles. -- Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 14:54, 26 October 2018 (UTC)


 * , That black fence is common in Leamington Spa since it a Victorian town, I told you this several times about this. There nothing to improve with the existing X5, no need to retake another one. Do remember you don't need to apply too much pressure to get "quality shots", sometimes their other aspects of a photo that makes it high quality that isn't just more pixels. Also, current-gen Subaru's are rare in the UK as they don't really sell well as the European cars.


 * I also don't not need mentoring all because I made one mistake, don't get too smug about it as I already knew it was a bit late when I photograph the X5, in fact, I'm the one who been "mentoring" you about not being super picky and trying to follow impossible guidelines when replacing images! --Vauxford (talk) 15:07, 26 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Please apologise if I get super-picky. This is how I analyse taking pictures of vehicles on Australian roads. I based these off User:OSX and Mr.choppers whenever I picture vehicles. The feedback I receive from them allowed me to purchase a new camera and begin picturing vehicles. I also downloaded photoshop to clean up some edits.


 * Also Fremantle is a very historical area, but is very busy so its occassional that I get quality shots, but I always do my best. People in my suburb of Nedlands can be totally selfish especially with their cars, however the Freo people are extremely nice and allow me to picture their cars. -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 15:19, 26 October 2018 (UTC)


 * , There you go going on about stuff completely irrelevant and misinterpreting of what I'm saying. All your streets seem to be grid-like and full of dedicated spots and parking spaces, for where I live that isn't the case. You even mention the feedback you got from the very person who made photographing cars pretty much made for people who live in certain areas such as Australia! I doubt you even pick up what I said from the other talkpages I posted to you. --Vauxford (talk) 15:28, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your recent replacements
Hi Vauxford,

I hope you and your family are well. Thankyou for taking back my feedback in relation to the quality of the images and identifying the scuff marks and other faults !! I really appreciate the amount of effort that you have put in relation to the quality of your images. I've also made mention back in October 2018 based on this discussion we discussed that we needed non-AMG lines for the articles. However, I've noticed you been reverting back the images to yours with the edit summary "Previous is fine" which I do not understand because looking back, I've been trying to fix up my edits to meet the satisfactory requirements for Wikipedia.

Take an example of the edit you made in March with the GLC and the edit you made today. I've noticed your edit summary was a little bit simple, but I couldn't understand why you reverted my image. so essentially I reverted it back and put a detailed edit summary, bringing it to the talkpage. I will also further add a note to the GLC's talk page. I've analysed yours, even though yours is alright and looks new, I personally believe the dark grey is producing unnecessary reflections, and to settle the dispute, I brought this to the talkpage for us to work out which is better.

I've further noted you have been thinking I've been using WP:CARPIX for my pictures. Unfortunately you are incorrect. The images I've been taking have been based on internet research and also by receiving feedback from others in relation to the quality of the images. Look, mine is blurry but as I discussed on my talkpage, would it be possible to give me solutions. My camera is 4.5 years old and i've not once cracked it and also been using Aperture Priority for all if not most of my shots.

In summary, lets come to a discussion whose is better. Could you please respond with your best comparison in relation with both these images, because it would be nice to ensure for future discussions, we don't fall into an edit war. Please respond when you can -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 04:27, 28 October 2018 (UTC)


 * , This is the 6th time that we had to go back to my talkpage. A year ago this didn't matter, the reflection, the "distracting backgrounds", removing every spec of dirt, nook and cranny and completely reflection free, it doesn't matter if a picture does have elements of that as long it was a good photo, why has it got to the point that we have to edit so exhaustively on a damn car picture! Now it seem every car needs to be renaissance masterpieces. I wasn't criticising about your camera, as long as it working it fine, a digital camera like a Coolpix is fine. Also why are you so determined to try and photograph another X5 when the one I put was just fine? Also that AMG Line car, yes I admit I do sometime make vague edit summary, the reason why I replaced that because I thought it was better to have a top spec version, if you want to add your non AMG Line on the Wikipedia pages, go ahead. Again you going over the top with all this. --Vauxford (talk) 13:05, 28 October 2018 (UTC)


 * I don't mind if the images are of low or high quality. It doesn't matter. You keep replacing your images on a lot of articles that do not need replacing. I've been trying my best to ensure that the images are being used by varying authors, such as User:M 93 & User:OSX. These guys have been doing some high quality images alongside yours, yet you insist in your heart that your images are the highest quality. Also going back to the GLC, alright we can maybe try to resolve this properly, but because I've been trying to get images which are less distracting. Okay look I may go overboard, however this is the chance that I can have to achieve good quality shots. I also want to have some of your images to be used on articles no problems, however you intend to replace every single image that is of course decent quality yet alone we are trying to get the best quality image possible. I'm in Australia, the AMG-Line is technically our package version for the AMG, yet alone we do have the GLC 43 AMG that can be used for the AMG front line as opposed as showing a different style, we can use just the basic style. Okay. In addition, it is important to discuss on talkpages if we have a dispute, that the main way we can resolve conflicts. Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 13:14, 28 October 2018 (UTC)


 * No, we do have AMG in this country but it a separate marque. --Vauxford (talk) 13:26, 28 October 2018 (UTC)


 * LOL, I will try and find out that suits, I'll put it in when I see it. You're a good friend, but I think we have gone a bit over the top... Have a good night -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 13:27, 28 October 2018 (UTC)


 * , What I meant is AMG Line is one of the top spec without being a actual AMG that why I used it as the main Infobox but I left your image on most pages as a side by side comparison and for the stubs on other Wikipedias I used the top spec as the main image. --Vauxford (talk) 13:30, 28 October 2018 (UTC)


 * I like your edit summary on List of sport utility vehicles. Well done, thats the type of edit summary which will be good. Have a nice day -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 14:28, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Pic request
Hi, I have a car request for you. We are trying to edit the Suzuki Swift article and I was wondering, because we do not have the 3-door version of the 2nd gen Swift in Australia, would it be possible to grab a front and rear pic of the vehicle. I will try and look for the five door version, best Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 12:56, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Audi Q7 and Q8
Hey Vauxford! Please tell me why this is full-size SUV? And why? (I'm not the person who tries to vandalizing like spamming users) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 113.255.79.133 (talk) 04:06, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Thankyou for your recent uploads
Good evening Vauxford, I would like to give my massive thanks for you in improving your images. I have analysed and added some of your images to replace some of the shoddy car show images. I've been looking for a lot of these cars in Fremantle, but haven't had much luck. In saying that, I did some photography of vehicles in Fremantle on the 2nd of November. Taking feedback and analysing my photos, I've made some massive improvements with my images. Yet to be fair, you have been doing some amazing shots. I live near a Toyota car dealership, but I don't like these car dealerships as the cars seem to be crushed. I much prefer Freo because of the natural surroundings. Please reply to this message, I really appreciate your recent uploads. Stay safe and happy photographing !! -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 10:58, 4 November 2018 (UTC)


 * , Since when was I being monitored with my pictures? I don't see any improvements other then the weather was being kinder to me. Car garages are useful to photograph the latest models, cars in the background doesn't matter and don't usually affect the subject in the photo, it be a crap car garage if it didn't have any cars in it. I told you this before. Fremantle to me seem like just some big and flat grid-like city with super wide roads which to be honest is quite a unfair advantage for me since my roads are all narrow and hilly (As I previously discussed this with you before). But thank you though. --Vauxford (talk) 22:17, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Recent uploads
Hi Vauxford, Thanks for your recent uploads. I like your use of Aperture Priority in most of your photos. I have a couple of concerns in relations with your uploads, but wasn't going to proceed until we discussed it: The two images that I have placed, I was slightly concerned about the quality, I believe checking through the metadata I found you used Manual mode for moving car pictures. Ok, normally when I do moving car shots (I usually do that for buses), I tend to put my camera on Shutter Priority at least 1/1000 but let the camera do the work, instead of you having to move around. An example of a perfectly timed shot would be File:Transperth 2015 Volgren Optimus bodied Volvo B8RLEA diesel Rt. 530.jpg. It takes me a lot of practice to achieve the perfect shot. Mind you, I have done a lot of bus photos so I do know what is required. As Australia rarely has cloudy days, I find it hard to find a day which doesn't interfere with my daily life.

Another concern I would like to raise with you is your recent edits replacing File:2017 Ford Ranger Limited.jpg with File:2018 Ford Ranger (PX) XLT 4WD 4-door utility (2018-10-22) 01.jpg. I noticed you also used in your edit summary "Less noise in the picture and less overwhelming distraction" to replace my white Ranger, I was a little perplexed. Having taken this image, I haven't seen any problem with my image, and why you replaced it, I don't understand, because generally speaking, white and other light coloured cars e.g. blue & yellow tend not to have reflections.

I would like to raise these concerns with you and could you further elaborate some of my concerns with your honest opinions, this would be really appreciated in my next goal of improving my car photos. Best Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 15:07, 17 November 2018 (UTC)


 * I already told you on my edit summary why but thank you for the advice though. --Vauxford (talk) 16:36, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I will find the same white vehicle and retake it. Also like last time, you always told me what you did and where you got your pictures? Can you keep me in the loop again, so I know what to expect from you? -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 03:00, 18 November 2018 (UTC)


 * You don't have to retake it just because (I personally think) the one I took is a better example and photo. You tried to do it with the BMW X5. I told you this before, why can't you focus on cars that aren't from the UK? Also, what do you mean by keeping you "the in loop"?

--Vauxford (talk) 03:10, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Normally you told me what you were up to, in relation to your car photography. Again, you seem to be dominating the UK markets with cars that you have taken rather than focusing on the Australian market. Stop trying to state that your personal opinions, by saying that your image is better because personally you think that by ensuring that cars such as Ford Ranger and BMW X5 are from the UK. I've ignored a lot of cars, but the Ranger & X5 are reasonably rare in the area I picture cars, such as Fremantle. It is in abundance in the Western Suburbs i.e. Nedlands, Dalkeith, Mosman Park etc. I've been doing this for the last five years and also you have been making unnecessary reverts. We are not basing on opinions of each other. Normally say that white coloured cars have less reflections, along with brightly coloured cars. In addition, if mine has a better angle, sometimes you revert them. Take the Audi Q7 for example, you reverted my edit believing your image of the Q7 you pictured was better, 2017 Audi Q7 S Line Quattro 3.0 Front.jpg. I've had a look at it, its very oversharpened, and my examples of the NSW and WA ones were better examples i.e. 2018 Audi Q7 (4M MY18) 3.0 TDI quattro wagon (2018-11-02).jpg. It seems in my opinion that you believe that some (if not all) of your images should be on Wikipedia. I usually do focus on non-UK cars, and Subarus, however I'm getting tired of having to improve Wikipedia. We want Wikipedia to be an encylopedia with the highest quality images, but having a look at your Audi it looks very low quality from my eyes. I've proposed a discussion to talk about replacing it, but you seem to think that your Audi is perfectly fine, but looking at it, it looks oversharpened. -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 03:20, 18 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Don't mean to sound rude but it 3 in the morning here and I'm trying to sleep. I will talk about this with you later in the day. --Vauxford (talk) 03:28, 18 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Ok, but I will not proceed replacing the images until you and I are on the same page :) Okay -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 03:32, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Follow up on discussion on other discussion above
Hi Vauxford, As per the discussion I had earlier in the morning, I would like to follow up on talk about the Audi Q7 edits that you have made recently. Please take List of sport utility vehicles, for example, you reverted my edit believing your image of the Q7 you pictured was better, File:2017 Audi Q7 S Line Quattro 3.0 Front.jpg. I've had a look at it more closely and I have discovered that it is very oversharpened, and my examples of the NSW and WA ones were better examples i.e. File:2018 Audi Q7 (4M MY18) 3.0 TDI quattro wagon (2018-11-02).jpg along with the WA one File:2017 Audi Q7 (4M MY17) 3.0 TDI wagon (2018-10-12) 02.jpg. Through my analysis I personally find that your UK images are extremely oversharpened and would like to have a discussion with you in relation to reverting my edits. I would also like to discuss these following edits because I personally believe that my image is not overly sharpened like your images. I have no problems with the dirt and other small problems, but I believe that you should take a second look at your image because noticing that I took a look, you seem to think that because its not a DSLR image it is fine. I don't agree with you because its essential to ensure that we are providing Wikipedia with the best quality images possible. I thought I would like to raise these concerns with you and to decipher which one is the better one. I'm not at all following WP:CARPIX, I now realise its impossible, but just through my own formulation of high quality shots. Please respond to this message, this is to prevent edit warring and also to ensure we are both agreeing with the same principles of car photography-- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 09:16, 18 November 2018 (UTC)


 * I apologise for the late reply. For a start, let not fall out over these matters. One thing for sure, image quality by pixels is not always the overriding factors but do have to be taken in consideration. That Audi Q7 picture was with my old bridge camera which was lower end and never been edited except for blanking the number plate, in fact I recall you were the one who used it on the article first. Images taken with varying cameras under different circumstances can be of equal value which you prove that back when you deemed almost every image I took when I first started out as "Higher quality". There are many other factors as well such as lighting, reflection (sometime can't be helped due to a car being new) and angle. You're taking "highest quality image" too rigidly.


 * Also what you said, "Again, you seem to be dominating the UK markets with cars that you have taken rather than focusing on the Australian market. Stop trying to state that your personal opinions, by saying that your image is better because personally you think that by ensuring that cars such as Ford Ranger and BMW X5 are from the UK." I don't really know where you got that from, this has nothing to do with how many ones are in what country it was taken. Is that why you feel the need to have to retake shots of cars so yours can appear on articles instead? Even though the ones on there are perfectly fine and no one is bothered. --Vauxford (talk) 02:37, 19 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Yeah but the Audi Q7 image of yours looks to be oversharpened, whereas my images has the correct pixels. The Audi Q7 NSW front view, ok that was completely blurry, because something went wrong with my camera settings. When I checked your image, it seems that your UK white Audi has too much 'noise' or sharpness. I don't really care about your camera model,


 * I've even used some of your images for the old camera model for the article as well. I am NOT taking the higher quality too rigidly, i'm trying to work out which one of us has the better shot. The WA Audi Q7 is much better quality because it does not have too much sharpness. I can view it full-size and I can easily pick up that the rear end is blurry, thats why I was going to replace it. I generally provide a comprehensive edit summary when reverting edits. That doesn't mean your camera is bad, maybe just one day that you may have been shaking your camera, does your 'bridge' camera have image stabilisation?.


 * I've also focused on achieving HQ shots, that doesn't mean I just use my camera. On rare occassions, such as Holden Cruze, I took the maroon WA Cruze on my iPhone and it was quite good, this was because the weather was permitting that day. I will highly unlikely replace that. If we clicked on this, we can see the rear looks to be very blurry from this view, but in thumbnail it isnt. Also not being fussy, but the structure over the car roof seems to be a little distracting, so I suggest this once, that I will replace this image with File:2018 Audi Q7 (4M MY18) 3.0 TDI quattro wagon (2018-11-02).jpg to say the least, because it is nice and clear. Look, even though I appreciate all your uploads, we should have a share of our images.


 * Also note, I will absolutely be using your other Audi images in the article. So that means its a deal that we can share both our images for use in the articles. Also its not a first-come first serve basis, we all need to contribute our own images in a way. I hope you understand and please build up on this discussion. -- Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 02:53, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi Vauxford, Thanks for uploading the many images of vehicles in the United Kingdom. I like to make special mention of the current generation Civic hatchback that you spotted. These are quite hard to find in Australia. Also, another image I would like you to find one day is the Ford Mondeo sedan. The sedan version of the Mondeo is not sold in Australia due to the Ford Falcon immense popularity in the sales, that causes it to be chewed up.

I would like to address a concern about one of your edits on Ford Mondeo. Look, I know we have been through this discussion before with previous images, but I replaced your Mondeo image with File:2018 Ford Mondeo (MD) Trend liftback (2018-11-22) 01.jpg. I find my image out of the two has better angle compared to your blue one. Also we find that colours that are silver, white or any bright colour has a better chance of being replaced.

I would like you to state your opinion about your image of the Mondeo. I have no problems if you want to keep the image of the sedan, but just saying my image of the different Mondeo images. I find my image has a much better angle. To make a compromise, I have moved the image of your sedan to the top infobox to keep everyone satsfied. Could u have a look at my image of the liftback Mondeo and your image of the sedan and if you believe my image is not the suitable example. -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 07:01, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

Other Wikipedias
Vauxford. Whilst I appreciate your recent uploads, you seem to have a knack of reverting my edits after I've replaced them on the foreign Wikipedias. Please note, again while I appreciate your edits, I've also shared some of your other images, yet you needed to revert to place the original image of your Kia Sportage. Again, the edit summary i've explained applies to the other Wikipedias, so I didn't see the need to revert the silver Sportage, so I have reverted it back. Again, I've explained to you that the Kia Sportage I took in Fremantle has less reflections along with smudge marks, so therefore it would be a higher quality image. Sometimes, mobile phone quality images are fine, but in your instance with the orange Facelift Sportage your image was extremely reflective. I see you sometimes complain of my images being very reflective. Look, i've explained this over and over again, i'm fine with your edits, but you seem to have a dislike of me replacing my images over yours based on quality. I do focus on non-UK cars, but to be fair, and to cut slack, you seem to be gaining an uneven edge over me with worldwide cars.

Please see the examples that I've set to the right. I've told you in the previous edit summaries and also with the discussion on my talkpage, that you think that your image would be high quality, when in fact it won't be. Also you seem to be blaming me for the hypocrisy on the English Wikipedia. Well, you seem to be obsessed with the idea that your image should be used on every single Wikipedia article. Worldwide cars does not mean just your country. I've also focused on replacing some of other users images with yours, yet you are trying to sparingly replace all the images without any cause. I have however, for your image, if there was a matching rear, I've left it out, because I was too embarassed to show a car with a shade.

As a suggestion, why don't you focus on the European cars, which are popular, such as BMW, Audi, Ford, Porsche etc. and leave the Asian cars to others because countries such as Australia sell these in high numbers, yet you have to revert my edits to prove that you have an edge over me. I'm not sure whether I'm going to continue for much longer, at this rate because as suggested, I've ignored most of the European cars, which sell in the UK, especially Ford. I'm a bit like Pil56, except in my case I have a dislike for people who revert to their own images because they believe that their image is fine. In addition, if another user reverts my image to yours, say Davey2010, I would have no problem, because the person who was the creator of the image is not trying to get fair gain over the article as described as WP:OWN. Also look, I'm not just replacing mine. I'm not being a hypocrite, I'm not following WP:CARPIX, I'm just saying what others would say. Many people on Wikipedia have a dislike for low quality mobile phone images. Samsung phones can make images very grainy, such as your Kia Sportage image.

If this continues, I might have to give up Wikipedia as I see no value in allowing for my images to continue. User:OSX at least didn't necessarily revert all my images, but unlike you we teamed up and found some of the best cars and we have come to a conclusion without any problems. I'm feeling that you are just here to annoy other users and to make sure that your images should be at your own judgement. Yet, on the German Wikipedia, you made a completely unnecessary revert. Look, I've told you this (probably the 25th time) that because I revert your images, does not mean that I don't appreciate your uploads. I really like them, so could you please maybe cool it down. Whilst you and I have been very good in the past, its these disputes that what is tearing up Wikipedia and I do not see the need to blindingly revert all the images, I hope you understand. Please continue uploading, but maybe get a couple of opinions (or get someone else to revert yours, rather than saying yours is fine, remember Wikipedia is edited by millions of people including me and I do not want to have to come to this discussion again). Please do not revert until we have discussed it. Bring it to my talkpage. Also I'll get another car spotter like to get involved so we can come to a dead conclusion and we can agree on both terms. If he believes yours is better, I'll stop the edit revert, its just I absolutely hate the creator of an image to be stingy and take their place. I don't even do it myself, I only do it when I know mine is better :)) Best  Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 03:00, 28 November 2018 (UTC)


 * . Sorry for the late respond, now, I know this won't help my defence with my picture, but the car it actually Infra Red, a premium colour choice for the top spec. When I was telling focusing on certain cars. I don't just mean European, I mean any cars that are common and are on the market in the UK. In a earlier talk page I gave you a list of cars that are not on sale in the UK.


 * The thing with me and foreign Wikipedias, a lot of them aren't as maintain as with German and English and what I and what Alexander tries to do is update each article, sometimes Alexander can be a bit sly and replace additional of his own image along with the one he mention in his edit summary. It seem like we are both bad as each other when it come to these "knacks", we always want to strive and want our image on their first, which you can to a certain extend on the English Wikipedia. Your picture get the same coverage on the English Wikipedia then 20+ other Wikipedias combined.


 * It sound scummy I know, but I prefer to just update it with a basic image (mostly my own), not the top notch but one that would do for the page, and if some individual on one of those Wikipedia is bothered about it, so be it.


 * "Worldwide cars does not mean just your country" it seem you still have this nonsense thought in your head that what I'm doing is for nationality reasons; it's not. You also seem to don't mind borrowing words and thoughts I said and use it in your own defence, such as the ones I quoted in the "Hypocrisy" discussion on your talkpage. These sentence were the exact sentence and problems I had with you, another example is when I was evaluating a image and I mention chromatic aberration. Not so long after that disucssion we had a dispute with one of our images, you used that same wording to try and support yourself.


 * To be honest Nim, even after these years you been on Wikipedia which you mention a few time, you just don't seem to be able to hold your own ground. You always appear to follow whoever have influence and heavily rely on them for your own gain rather then thinking for yourself. I done it myself but that when was I first joined in 2016 then I began to take my own path and my own thoughts and faith; and not be afraid of criticism if others don't like my views, but to me you just never gone past the weaning stage of a editor. I'm sorry if this might of hurt you but that what I really think of you as.


 * List of cars that are NOT sold in the UK but are in Australia:


 * All Australian manufacturers such as the Holden
 * Ford (Falcon & Everest),
 * Toyota (Kluger, LandCruiser 70, 200 & Pardo, Tarago, HiAce, Prius C & Fortuner)
 * Mazda (CX-9 & CX-8)
 * Subaru (Liberty) Impreza, XV, Forester, Levorg, Outback & BRZ are sold in the UK but are very uncommon.
 * Nissan (Patrol & Pathfinder)
 * Suzuki (Grand Vitara)
 * Kia (Cerato & Carnival)
 * That like 30+ cars that aren't sold in the UK plus any discontinued model that weren't sold in the UK either.
 * Anything else it likely in the UK, especially Kia and Hyundai. --Vauxford (talk) 11:55, 29 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Ok thanks, also I noticed that you replaced my silver one with your orange one. Was there a reason to? I reverted your edit for reason, and you just thought that your image looks to have a bad background as a result of the weaning clouds. I suggest maybe do some edits on the orange one. What was wrong with my silver one, besides the sun glare on one of the rims. Please can you further summarise to me what went wrong with the edit? I wasn't too sure why you replaced it. You seem to think phone cameras are a lot better than the DSLR shots. The silver one was taken on a DSLR so shouldn't it be the better option? I would like to hear your thoughts. Also why was it really necessary to replace the orange one? I think we are going to bring it to discussion through another person for a second opinion, I do not agree that your one is the best quality. However, I do like the Tesla Model X (grey one) you photographed, thats a good shot. Please can you tell me why was it such a necessary feat to replace your orange one? Thanks Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 03:34, 1 December 2018 (UTC)


 * There is absolutely no reason to divide up the markets - take good photos: if a shot of a Holden Commodore parked in London is of high quality then that could be the best one to use. EurovisionNim used to annoy me to no end, but when a photo is better than mine then there is no point arguing. I really wanted to revert this edit, but then I spent ten seconds looking at the picture and realized I was wrong.


 * Love the pic of your car library btw, Automobile Revue is my favorite reference work (although my collection spans from 1959 until 2000).  Mr.choppers &#124;   ✎  13:53, 1 December 2018 (UTC)


 * . Not exactly what I meant. I'm just helping Nim to give him a idea for what to look for and to me I think it a pretty good plan. He just simply trying be someone he isn't, As I stated above. --Vauxford (talk) 14:50, 1 December 2018 (UTC)


 * How does 'helping' means by reverting your image. Thats not relevant buddy, the question was and I discussed this with him, and we have determined that the silver car is of higher quality. Again, if the Commodore was in London would you picture it? Remember, look for the clearest picture possible. Would it be ok to revert back to the silver car as per discussion with . We won't make further reverts after this, unless you can actually find one and picture it on a DSLR. As I mentioned, I don't just randomly upload images. I actually have a lot of car photos, I only upload images which I know that would have been used. I'm thinking after this discussion, we are going to replace the silver front view only of the Kia Sportage. After the X3 revert, I've learnt how to time myself. Okay, please respond with thoughts :) Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 14:53, 1 December 2018 (UTC)


 * . Don't get cocky just because someone agreed with some of your points. This is what I mean. You can't stand your own ground and just simply go for the one with the biggest fish. That list I gave you was meant to prevent from having these conflicts on our talkpages. Regardless if their a ill chance for a current gen Holden to appear in the UK. I'm thinking the realistic side of this and what suit you best. --Vauxford (talk) 15:06, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I am not standing my own ground, the problem you have is that you believe that your image is the better quality out of everyone elses. Well, I'm not too sure why you are thinking. I've done all the cars that you have mentioned. In fact, if someone replaces your image, you shouldn't just revert to yours. See User:Mr.choppers talkpage based on our discussion with the images and please comment on that. Cars like Kia Sportages are used as rental cars in Australia and are sold in larger numbers than the UK. Your image is absolutely not clear and you insist that your image is better because it was taken on a phone. Do you think a phone image would actually turn out better than a DSLR? Well, I'm pretty sure I'm being real here and it doesn't. Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 15:17, 1 December 2018 (UTC)


 * The Kia photo is not as good as the DSLR, I give you that but this isn't the sole thing that I'm talking about. --Vauxford (talk) 15:23, 1 December 2018 (UTC)


 * You reverted my edits for absolutely no reason, yet you believe that yours is the better one. Look mate, I'm not following any silly impossible guideline, i am indeed stamping my own ground. Whats next? Picture a car through fog? Picture a car when in car? Mate, you are out of your mind, I don't have an issue with your DSLR images, I actually really like them, its just that your orange car is absolutely foggy and would not be the suited example, thats why I was going to discuss the silver car as the potential replacement. Nim Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 15:25, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

What exactly is there to revert? Your Sportage is on the Infobox isn't it? Same goes with the other English articles. --Vauxford (talk) 15:31, 1 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes, however, the articles such as J-segment and the other Wikipedias that you have reverted it back to your original image. Thats what I mean't. I found that this image would be the best suited for the Wikipedia article. You intentionally made reverts which was not necessary, yet you believe that I'm cocky... well I am not, I was thinking that I would revert my image back. Don't worry, please let this edit be final, the silver one is the best one for the article, and well, this one would be most suited. I'm just saying, that I do not revert images unnecessarily, your image is low quality and has been replaced with the silver image which is much more clearer, yet you state that your image is the better example. I believe that if I reverted it back, it would cease the war therefore there would be no need to make any further changes. Don't worry your orange Sportage can be used for the front and rear shots. Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 15:40, 1 December 2018 (UTC)


 * If you want to revert those articles you mentioned, go ahead then. --Vauxford (talk) 15:42, 1 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Ok mate, cool. Well this will hopefully be the last discussion made :). Will do this tomorrow, but need to talk to a friend, she wants a date with me :). Additionally thankyou for resolving this issue. Well before the grumpy grandma comes and whips me, I better get to sleep, goodnight Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 15:43, 1 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Okay...? --Vauxford (talk) 15:47, 1 December 2018 (UTC)


 * I'm not reverting all your links that your orange one has. For example, in Hyundai Motor Group i've left it untouched because, I agree it would be nice to have some nice colour variety. Have a nice day :) Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 02:33, 2 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Quick follow up. this edit you believed that there was a distraction. I couldn't find it, could you please point out. Also how does a sunny day really affect an image in any way? Please let me know -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 14:33, 7 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Firstly, it not sun drenched like most of your photos are, it has a good angle with the reflection which shows the fenders and other details nicely, which yours doesn't. Car behind doesn't make a difference since you got one behind as well. I think it best to just let go of this Nim and reverted back. Also you seem to have a habit of taking whatever I say and regurgitate it and claim as yours which is quite annoying. One I notice is when I said in a few edit summary, "less of a reflective mess". What the betting if I use some really uncommon word to describe my edit summary or discussion from a thesaurus which you later then use as a ill attempt to defend yourself? --Vauxford (talk) 14:38, 7 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Its Australia you muppet. Of course all my shots are going to be sun drenched. Normally, I do these when I'm out with friends and I don't have set locations 😂😂😂. However, thats not the case. I'm not like u in the UK with your miserable weather. Again, take a look at your XC90 image. Thats a clear cut example of how "sun drenched" shot of yours is. Okay, for this time, I'll let you have this edit, but doesn't mean you can stop me. Again, work this one out yourself. However, you seem to be accusing me over "tight crop" edits, when in fact you think my photos aren't good enough. Again, i get to say what I want. If you find this annoying too bad, this is not Facebook where you unfriend me and stuff, this is Wikipedia where we have to work together. Ok for this one, I'll let you have it, but if I find a better one, and it doesn't have reflections, then we can replace it. Okay Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 14:47, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

. The Volvo XC90 was fine because the sunlight was angled nicely. "Work this out yourself"? Said the one who can't think for himself and just leech on other editors, of course it annoying me because you just copying everything I do, the reflection of my one is just because it new, it cannot be avoided. --Vauxford (talk) 14:50, 7 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Sometimes newer cars in Australia, especially hire cars tend to have reflections. Look at your Stelvio, it has harsh shadows, yet the only reason I copy off you is because you keep reverting me. I don't have a choice. And also in relation to Suzuki, i'll let you have that, as whilst popular, I don't actually find any good ones in the cloudy weather but you revert me. Its getting to a point where you think I am not a good photographer and its getting annoying. Especially where you dominate the Q7 article with your junk bridge camera images of the Q7s which I haven't reverted because you claim "they're fine" when in fact I have some better quality images and you fuss over them. Why can't you just let things go with the flow and get someone else like Charles01 to revert them because its getting on my nerves that you are dominating the images. Its unfair on others. Again, I viewed your last edit and it read "Less reflective and distraction". The silver car is not reflective, yet you claim it to be. Again, you also mentioned it had distracting backgrounds. When are you going to stop reverting my edits over silly things -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 14:59, 7 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Never mentioned your silver Kia was reflective, that was on other edits, not a good idea to put words in my mouth. The bridge camera was decent for it price and it was the only one I could afford at the time and it done me wonders. When it come to reverting by people you mentioned, they will let me know if they do. Ironic because Charles was the one who reverted your Mondeo edit because of your "blindspot" which I agree. Sadly you seem to be taking "blindspot" literally and not understanding what any of us say to you. --Vauxford (talk) 15:04, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

New picture request
Hi Vauxford, Could you please picture the cars that would be of excellent use for Wikipedia? These vehicles either aren't sold in Australia, or are in low demand due to poor sales.
 * TX4 London Taxi
 * Suzuki Swift (3-door, non-Sport version)
 * Volvo S80 (Bad seller in Australia)
 * Alfa Stelvio (preferably a white or red one, also both views)
 * Toyota Prius (current gen, but rear) Popular in Singapore, but not doing well in Australia, also really hate them. Really liked your front shot, so if you see the same car, get the rear, you also had the perfect opportunity btw.
 * Any Daewoos? Do you guys sell these? I'm not sure, but if you can, that'd be great, Daewoos are very unpopular in Australia.
 * Honda Accord Euro (preferably Tourer, but sedan as well equally fine)

Anyway, thanks for being so nice to me with relation to my editing styles.

As a suggestion, focus on the more popular European makes, such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo etc. Even though we have them, we Aussies tend to have a stickler to Japanese cars due to its reliability. Also you missed a few cars not sold in England, I'll list below

I hope that would give you guidance, and I wish the best of luck in finding the cars listed. Cheers, Nim Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 14:45, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Hyundai Sonata (i45)
 * Peugeot 4008
 * Toyota Camry (Avensis not sold in Aus, due to Camry doing very well in Australia)
 * North American version Honda Accord (Australia sells both Euro [you can find] and NA)


 * The Stelvio was just lucky. For some reasons, they don't like to be parked in convenient places. Daewoos used be everywhere 10 years ago. They are all disappearing now. --Vauxford (talk) 14:54, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Geez Stelvio drivers are stingy. I'll get Grandma to buy a Stelvio, how much is it in England?. However, would you be able to take the others? I'll do myself, then as discussed, we compare them and see what we both think :) Like when you began, you always got me to check over them :) My Vice Chancellor at uni has a Stelvio, so I'll see the next one if she parks in reverse. I'm also making a website for car spotting, but this website, i'll blur the plates. -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 14:56, 2 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Well, I don't need them to be checked nowadays. Stelvio cost around £37k, £69.5k for the Quadrifoglio version. --Vauxford (talk) 15:04, 2 December 2018 (UTC)


 * I found this example 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio AWD wagon (2018-11-15).jpg not the best photo i've taken, but it looks to be alright compared to your one, as it looks blurry, and has more shadows, but its equally not the best :) Hope its ok, I took this one on my iPhone Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 15:11, 2 December 2018 (UTC)


 * The reason why my example is blurry because it in motion, what the difference if a person is in there? It not conflicting with the entire picture. Regardless I say it a fine picture in general. --Vauxford (talk) 15:28, 2 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Also, from the previous discussion we had yesterday. When you said "Honestly, I am not standing my own ground," You didn't read what I said properly. I said you are unable to stand your own ground, you can't think for yourself. --Vauxford (talk) 15:40, 2 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Right, you might be misinterpreting what I said lol. I don't actually have any problems, but I was just saying that it would be easier if someone could find a higher quality image. I'll let this slide, for the moment, as I know this is a very bad quality image, but just saying that you can get a new picture of a Stelvio and we could use that. However, if mine does not have the annoying shadows like from trees, then we can use that. See its easier and also we can use that then. I don't know why we need to get into a massive conflict. For now, I'll let you have this edit, but will be finding a new image. The red Stelvio has too much harsh shadows, which may compromise the image. Also its recommended to get a still shot. Wednesday should be good this week, so I'll see what I get :) Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 15:44, 2 December 2018 (UTC)


 * It doesn't need replacing, it fine as it is. It not compromising anything. It like you don't read half of what I say! You can't think for yourself, you rely on others to do the simplest of thinking (or personally I think you're too lazy and do it for your own gain). You tend to babel on nonsense from talking about some girl to "grumpy grandma comes and whips me". Just think for yourself for once, think why I get very annoyed with you. --Vauxford


 * it seems that you believe your own image would be the best example. By standing your own ground, you are inviting an edit war between users. why dont you let others have a chance to post their images? i dont necessarily do that, i always look at alternative images that would be suitable examples. if you can fix up the image, good luck, but just saying for you to stop being rigid and allow for others ro have their say. — Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 16:06, 2 December 2018 (UTC)


 * The only user I have problems with, is you. I can resolve everything else with other users, it just you. Also, I wasn't sure if that was a accident or not but, could you not remove parts of what I said. --Vauxford (talk) 16:08, 2 December 2018 (UTC)


 * I do not touch other users' comments. Also to be fair, thanks for your upload of the latest A-Class, its a really awesome image !! Cheers Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 02:10, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

Like your recent edit
Hi Vauxford,

I would like to owe you thanks for finding a Suzuki Swift 3-door. These are absent, as in Australia, we aim for mainly the 5-door versions. However, I would like to follow up on one of your recent edits, but I will not revert because images taken before July 2018 I don't really have interest in them being on. I think this related to one discussion you made. I've also noted you seem to have the red car at an angle. I read your edit summary it said "HQ & better angle", which I don't see the "better angle" bit because I noted that has a better angle, but whilst I have no complaints over it, I did however really like the quality of the images of the front and rear and that for reason, is no need to revert. I also believe that my 2017 image is absolutely crap – this was a rushed one as I was with a friend that day and he wanted to hurry :). Please read the previous discussion because, I noted that you said that "...angle was fine" in relation to the red car. Whilst I have learnt from that, I was thinking was there a need to photograph this vehicle? Whilst I don't have any problems with it, I was just thinking that because European cars sold in high numbers in your jurisdiction, I was thinking you'd focus more on these.

I was only going to follow up because you mentioned that had a better angle to. Whilst I won't be focusing too much on this car, there are better chances you could have said without the angle. Anyway, keep editing, we do need some of your awesome EU pics off you !! In the meantime, I guess I'm not needed anymore. Pretty much I've covered all the Aussie cars that are not in the UK, so you should cut me a bit of slack. Also I want you to look at the two images to see why you mentioned the angle was a bit different likewise. Also have a look at some previous discussions we had so that we are both on the same page. Besides, don't need to feel a revert because I know your Swifts are the highest quality image and the background is the best !! Also another suggestion, could you please recrop the image of the red Baleno? I noticed you chipped off the antenna of the vehicle, how are we supposed to get radio signal then? It'd be nice if you could maybe make it evenly cropped, like a square, but its a suggestion. I've now not worried too much about CA, because I don't see how this ruins an image, also a little spec of dirt, seriously I've now moved away from OSX's impossible guidelines, but still focus on any car I find that looks good. Also, I tend to focus a lot more on photographic faults when replacing images, rather than just actually focusing on tending my gain based on MY personal opinions, based on our last discussion, but still I should have the right to be allowed to have my say, as the same when you say, without having to be abruptly reverted for simply "previous is fine". Please respond to this message, as soon as you can, as it enables me to have a better understanding of how you edit. Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 11:40, 4 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Euro, there are no "jurisdictions." And calm down, if at all possible.  Mr.choppers &#124;   ✎  02:47, 5 December 2018 (UTC)


 * , geez mate, I am not telling him to hurry, I just want to get him to give me his side of the version of why he preferred this version. And its Nim not "Euro". I only wanted to know why he said "better angle". When I mean "...as soon as you can" I do not mean to have him hurry up, I mean that he should respond to me the next time he has a chance to view his talkpage. I'm sick and tired of him reverting me all the time for the silliest of reasons. He's lucky I am not in real life, I'd be more upset than I am really am now. I'm just careful of how I would it, because I do not want to end up in trouble mate. Besides WP:PERSONAL ATTACK does not base into argument and telling users to hurry up. Honestly, remember you told me that you were gong to revert the Mitsubishi Pajero van in Vietnam then you said you didn't because you knew its a better quality image. Well Vauxford seems to be enjoying getting rid of some of my images, without cause and putting vague edit summaries. This is again, getting to the point where it gets annoying. Also Vauxford, I have basically taken all the non-UK cars already, so why is there a need to revert without cause. Like the recent revert on Suzuki Swift. This is based on the discussion with the Suzuki Baleno. Also with Commons, you claimed my Mazda CX-5 images were too tightly cropped. How much else do you think that a personal opinion of a user can create bias. Please read WP:BIAS for my further explaination about Vauxford and his replacement of images. Why can't he just focus on cars in the UK market that sell in high numbers and leave the Japanese and non-European cars to people who are down under as these sell better than the European cars and in high numbers. I didn't see the need for Vauxford to replace them, the images were fine and have been used for over the last year or so. Why does he need to be a pain and upload images that are not necessary. Whilst I can understand the Baleno upload, I don't understand the Suzuki Swift upload. Okay, I'm not angry, but just want an explaination -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 03:06, 5 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Hurry? I meant maybe relax and find something else to do for a few days. Wikipedia is not the most important thing in life. But again, there are no jurisdictions. There ARE NO JURISDICTIONS. Notice, just as an example, that there are several Australian-plated cars at Ford Torino. A good photo is a good photo. At the same time, swapping photos for ones that are not clear improvements is a waste of time. Both of you take great photos and make valuable contributions, but I wish you could do it without pushing your own work so hard. Uploading your pics on other language articles "where there aren't so many editors" is also problematic (when it's done as self promotion). Trust me, if you take good shots they will find their way into articles.  Mr.choppers &#124;   ✎  03:24, 5 December 2018 (UTC)


 * The problem is, is that Vauxford blindingly replaces all of my images for the smallest of reasons. Such as Audi A4, where I took a high quality back and front view but Vauxford, being him replaced it with his version of the front. Whilst I can appreciate the effort he puts into his work, he tends to go overboard, especially with my images. He thinks that by me only focusing on Australian (non UK sold cars) I am going to get my way. Whilst I do not want to cause trouble, I want to ensure that Vauxford is not violating WP:BIAS through his personal opinions. I do it myself, lets be honest but I don't do it at the same frequency as some of the other users. I will be sending you a message on your talkpage, please check there :) -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 03:36, 5 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Clearly you're in a act of desperation so I'm not gonna say much in case I put fuel in the fire. As with your ill attempt of changing images just because they were photographed by me. You seem to treat WP:BIAS as a offical policy, as you done the same with WP:CARPIX. I don't need to abide them. --Vauxford (talk) 11:31, 5 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Actually, you aren't. These Wikipedia guidelines are in place to allow for users, like you and me to see how we picture our cars. Normally, you respond to me based on these concerns. Also I was wondering, why my Suzuki Swift was not a good angle, thats all mate. Thats all I'm asking. Also its a good idea to begin to follow these policies. Next you'll say that WP:BLOCK will not be a policy that you will not abide by lol. Maybe I'll take a break for a while, kinda let the camera have a rest and maybe wait for a nice cloudy day to achieve good shots. By the way, other than the Suzuki shot, really like your 3-door FLift shots, very nice & its being used to replace OSX's white junk which is too blurry to the naked eye. Also try to be neutral, thats what I'm learning. Lets get to further explain what I mean, best  Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 11:35, 5 December 2018 (UTC)


 * That not what I mean, if you read the top section of these pages, it will tell you if it a official guideline and policy or a essay. WP:CARPIX and WP:BIAS are not formal Wikipedia policy or guideline but you seem to take them that way. Obviously im gonna abide ones like WP:BLOCK but essays are pages which contain advice and/or opinions on a WikiProjects. --Vauxford (talk) 11:41, 5 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Still mate, its fine, if your edit has been changed, doesn't mean we don't appreciate your edit, we do appreciate the amazing uploads you do. If I take a better shot, it might be the one used, if you take the shot, then we can use yours if its the best. If someone elses is better say or  is better, we will use yours, regardless of the image used :)) Take care bro -- Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 11:47, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

It sounds more that you trying to gather an angry mob all because you're unhappy with my opinion of what deem to be a better picture with words like "we" then you are trying (I presumed) to reach a consensus with me. --Vauxford (talk) 11:54, 5 December 2018 (UTC)


 * You've done comedy before? You seem to be good at it. Anyway, thats not really relevant, what I am trying to do is trying to gather a mutual agreement amongst other users who have worked to dedicate photos. For example, OSX's discussion with me back in 2015 explained that regardless of the quality of other's images, its not about first come first serve, remember we do want high quality images, but such tiny issues such as CA shouldn't overall harm the image. Also images do not really have to comply with WP:CARPIX, but should be as close as possible. Look, I don't often think that because I should be focusing on non-UK images alone, otherwise i'm limited. Besides, in my area, Holdens are hard to find in original condition, so I focus on the Asian vehicles, especially Japanese cars, but don't really provide much emphasis on EU manufactured cars, knowing you guys have that covered. But regardless, check the discussion out and we can see it -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 12:29, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Skoda Superb
Hey Vauxford, I noticed that your shot of the Skoda Superb sedan has an annoying shadow next to it. I really like these, but haven't had a chance to actually picture one :). Could you do me a favour and maybe grass over that distracting shadow that is behind the front wheel please. I just thought because remember how you recropped the Baleno as my request, I thought you'd be happy to adjust this. Also this would be useful in a context, because the more work you do we appreciate it. Don't see the need to look for them anymore, you have these covered. These are not very popular in Australia, as opposed to Europe as again, we go for more Japanese cars., if you want to do some photoshopping for Vauxford, that'd be appreciated as I find the shadow extremely annoying 😂 😂. Take care for now, Nim Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 13:06, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your edits, I really appreciate it. Sunny days can be very hard to achieve a perfect shot yeah. Have fun mate -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 02:27, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

Subaru XV
Hi Vauxford, this is a reminder for you to check Talk:Subaru Impreza before reverting. Please do not revert until we have come to a discussion. Also please add your input to the discussion. We would like to hear your thoughts, best -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 08:43, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

Please do some photoshopping on the following
Hey Vauxford, I really like your photos that you have uploaded.Thankyou for your understanding on my reverts. However, can you do me a favour and please adjust the following two images. These two are my favourite examples that you have uploaded and I do not see the need for me to replace these :) I hope you get a chance to do that :) Take care for now -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 05:38, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

New photoshop request
Hi Vauxford, could you please redo the image on the right by removing off the company logo on the door and can you also make some adjustments. The tree reflection on the window is really annoying and also protrouding reflections. You told me one of my photos of the Honda Civic sedan had the reflection because it was under a tree. Based on your complaints, I'm actually investing in a polarizing lens (do you use one?) to ensure that the reflections are at a minimum. However, really like your shots, my ones of 2018 haven't been up to par. 2019, you will be seeing some awesome new uploads by me !! -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 05:40, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

December 2018
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Volkswagen Group has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. ''I was going through your edits, and your edit summaries for that and List of automobile sales by model had poor edit summaries. I didn't see until I looked into the diff, but please note that when you replace an image, if you attempt to revert an image back to its usual state. Also please use detailed edit summaries not "previous is fine" or "Higher quality" be more detailed.  Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits)'' 08:29, 13 December 2018 (UTC)


 * What are you saying? Why are you using some copypaste template. Also you are absolutely NO better, you use the same edit summary as I do, heck you pretty much copy anything I do, say, upload. Recently you seem to be using words "sundreached" all over the place just because I said it one time. You are such as hypocrite Nim for you to post that on my talkpage. Why a few hours ago you requesting me to do some photoshop and then a hour later you suddenly complaining about something two months back as well as pestering Charles01 and Mr.choppers again.


 * Funny because it was a picture that you personally requested. I say that image of mine should stay. It not good constantly changing back and fourth, you were doing fine Nim doing the Australian cars. Why now you suddenly acting all high and mighty over this? --Vauxford (talk) 14:18, 13 December 2018 (UTC)


 * . I've run out of Australian cars mate. Do you honestly believe that me just doing the Australian cars is going to be of any use. Also I was never annoying Mr.choppers, nor annoying Charles01. Mate, you're lucky, if this was Singapore, I'd be replacing all your images, because the weather there is a lot better. Again, i think we should always consult second opinions. I believe that the image of yours looks really distracting to me and I should have the right to picture any car and upload over yours. I'll still be doing that, because I want the best images where possibel. Why don't you just allow me to picture what I want, when I want and stop relying on me to do a 'list'. Remember I don't care if its two months ago, I don't care if its 1995, I don't care if its 2 hours in fact. If someone finds a better image, that is better than yours, he/she reserves the right to post it. I use two lenses. I don't actually like the Amarok image, it has too many tree reflections, also has that annoying logo, which you can easily edit out, but the tree reflection is such a hassle. That is why i am going to be investing on a new polarising filter so I can take pictures of vehicles without the need to worry about sunlight falling and ruining the photo. In general, I think you are trying to be a pain, rather not really helping me in growing, just giving me a hard time.


 * I decide what I post, I decide what I upload, I decide what I want to put in the edit summary. You are not an Admin, therefore you should not be telling me what to do. I don't want to do just Australian cars, I want to focus on overseas, such as India, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand. I can write whatever I wish as long as its not inappopriate. You are the one who doesn't want to follow any Wiki guidelines believing that your images are the best. I decide what I wish to replace, I think you need to go with the flow, and let others do what they please. Usually colours such as white or any bright colour is recommended because it produces no reflections. Since you were acting in such complaints, I am investing in a new lens filter (Polarizing) and going to improve my shots with that. Be careful, my 2019 images will be better due to the fact I have a polarzing filter. Actually Vauxford, I was here before you. The edit summaries are important, but anyone can write the same stuff again. Okay take care -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 14:32, 13 December 2018 (UTC)


 * So you gonna buy some plastic rubbish just so you can replace the previously fine examples and have yet another bunch of delusion thoughts inside your head? I'm still gonna object it regardless because it was fine as it was, it doesn't need to be change every 2 weeks or something. --Vauxford (talk) 14:35, 13 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Do you always believe that your images are the best? I do not mind if someone other than you reverts my images no problems. I have a problem with editors reverting my edits to their own version. I do not mind if a user like Charles01 reverts my edit to your version because I know that a second opinion of the image means final. I do not do it immediately. Also you talking about 'plastic rubbish', a polarizing filter means that the image will be of better quality. I do not immediately change it (exception of mobile phone images), I usually wait for a while before I know its time, I don't just randomly replace all the time. I do use the same edit summary I'd admit, however you cannot stop me. I write what I want when I want. I'll let this Audi edit go, but the only reason I want mine to appear is because I want these to be in news articles. -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 14:40, 13 December 2018 (UTC)


 * As well as you said that I'm "sabotaging Wikipedia" and making it "unfair for everyone". From what you just said, you seem to be going to do that very thing you accuse me of. If you run out of Australian cars, that a bummer. Since you think your unstoppable with what your doing you just gonna make this twice as difficult for yourself. Just because you have some filter doesn't mean it a good excuse to go on a mass replacing spree. --Vauxford (talk) 14:43, 13 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Vauxford. I won't be causing any trouble. You're the one trying to accuse me of copying you and being lazy. I'm upset you are replacing a lot of my images with vague edit summaries, such as Suzuki Swift, but I let that edit go because I really liked your new images and my 2017 images were very blurry. Also that time my friend was in a rush so the image wasn't at the best quality I wanted, but something went horribly wrong with my camera that day. Again, I will try to improve as I go along, but I still deserve the right to focus on any cars that are not manufactured in Europe. Sometimes you can get imports, and also I don't go on a mass replacing spree. I will assess the image carefully and if I deem it replacing then I will. I will never go on a mass replacing spree, I know where I stand because technically I'd be causing vandalism. If OSX was still editing, then I would not be needed. -- Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 14:48, 13 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Suit yourself, but don't be shocked that me or someone else will revert your edit. Don't expect this miracle lens going to be a hall pass for replacing images of your own, it will be a improvement, probably, but not as a upper advantage as I presume you have in your head it would. --Vauxford (talk) 14:53, 13 December 2018 (UTC)


 * You still haven't explained to me when you said "I want these in news article" What news article? --Vauxford (talk) 15:41, 13 December 2018 (UTC)


 * News articles tend to rely on images that have been on Wikipedia for long time. Anyway, thats not important. Also really like your current uploads, thanks. Also agree with the VW Golf example, that was extremely annoying, because I struggled to fix up that harassing reflection and also that blur in front was such a hassle. So thanks. Also please note, brighter colours tend to do a lot better than the darker colour, that is if you did arts :-) -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 01:10, 14 December 2018 (UTC)


 * So your that desperate to get recognition or something? Well the only articles that been using your images I could find are car thief, severed thumb due to faulty doors, home invasion and paedophiles. Bit gloomy but I guess that news for you. --Vauxford (talk) 01:23, 14 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Not really actually, whilst I do not mind some of your edits, I do have a problem with you mass-replacing some of my photos. Example taken is the Toyota Yaris. The gallery I added was for the conventional Yaris which we have, i've moved the Hybrid model to a different section and it still used. -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 01:28, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

That was a mistake on my behalf and forgot it said Hybrid on the side. --Vauxford (talk) 01:29, 14 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Should have gone to specsavers 😂😂. Take care for now -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 01:31, 14 December 2018 (UTC)


 * I've also made some changes to your edit on Volkswagen Golf VII. I've kept the rear view, however I preferred the light blue one. Although they are not the same, it'd be nice to have that image, as that is the best example. A little dirt here and there shouldn't really hurt. I've spoken to over Facebook so we have resolved the dispute. Only reason I replace your images is because you think youre a better photographer than me. Also, people do not need to 'let you know' before reverting. If you aren't happy with the revert, discuss it with them before sparring out an edit war. I will also be keeping an eye on the Non-European manufactured cars, such as Mazda, Toyota, Nissan etc. Take care for now -- Eurovision Nim  (talk to me)(see my edits) 08:21, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Nice shot
Hi Vauxford,

Really like your current uploads. I have however a small concern with one of your older images. With the blue Audi, would it be possible if you can re edit these. I think as a suggestion, what you should do next time, is to upload the non-edited version, then overwrite the edited version, so that whenever you want to go back to it, you can always fix it. Also, I would do it, but under COM:OVERWRITE, I cannot do to anyones uploads, but my own, so thats why I have to ask u. Best -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 02:58, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Your message
Hi Vauxford, I think till the issue is resolved and for the best of us, I'm going to take a long wikibreak until February. During this time, I can think about what I did wrong and continue to be a productive editor. Thanks, cya later -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 12:16, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Honda CR-Z
Hi Vauxford, This is nothing to do with any edits you made, but is a suggestion. There are people who tend to make reverts whilst you aren't looking (I noticed it on your last edit. Don't just assume I'm going to change your images, because I won't unless I deem necessary). Do you use a watchlist? My recommendation for you is to every time that you make an edit, you should 'watch' the page. I'm sure you'd know by now that this would make life so much easier. Also enable your emails so when you are out somewhere you know that someone does not make an edit behind your back. Also, whilst I have no problems with your recent reverts, I have now come to a realisation that I do not own Wikipedia. I am starting to use photos from other editors, not just myself (as based on our last discussion). I am happy to settle with whatever consequence is out there, but I do want to have a chance to showcase my images. However, I may not upload much. 90% of my images are going up on my website. Would you like to see it when I complete it? Everyone can have a look for free !! Also don't really have much care for the CR-Z, but I like your photos. Keep the good work up !! Its time for us to forget 2018's behaviour and move on to 2019. Merry Xmas ! -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 12:52, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

A concern
Hi Vauxford, I noticed for your section especially van, you used your examples of the front views. I like these examples, however to keep consistency, its recommended for car classification articles, such as van, notchback & sedan for example, the rear view is generally preferred, because knowing the front view would have the same grille in some cases. I do not mind the edit, but as a suggestion, for any car section, such as those, please use the rear shots. Also wasn't a need to revert, I wasn't using any of mine (I don't have any). Please do not edit war, and read WP:BRD, its not an official policy, but recommended this to me to prevent edit warring. Sometimes images do not have to be high quality, however it must be feasible and able to be used in an effective manner. Keep the van section as is, and lets get onto it as he'd be the specialist in this section, and not me. I will have no comment on this matter. Happy editing :)) -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 13:17, 21 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Why are you trying to imply that I was the one who done the mini edit warring here when it was actually you and Davey, and to be honest, I agreed with Davey's edit and you were just being a nuisance. Quit pinging different people to here when they are not needed. EDIT: You also done a bit of edit warring here and getting disputed by two other editors. I think someone here should have a read WP:BRD instead. --Vauxford (talk) 17:29, 21 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Guess I got owned :) Okay, will do. Merry Xmas -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 23:55, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

"Overwheming distraction"
Hi Vauxford, Just noticing your past reverts, you always made mention of "Overwhelming distraction". Just out of curiosity, could you please explain to me what you actually mean by that. Noticing your other replacements, such as Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class, the silver one does indeed have a bad background, but you still decided to keep it. I am not too sure, so thats why I came to you.

Also please see Talk:Volkswagen Group. We would like your input into the matter. Also as a suggestion, please do not just think yours is the best quality. I did it myself in 2018 and ended up in a mess, now I am looking at other examples from other authors to see which is better. -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 02:49, 22 December 2018 (UTC)


 * It still is 2018. Don't try and use this as some reason that you changed, which you haven't. I'm not saying anything else in case you might take that for your own gain. --Vauxford (talk) 03:04, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok, but please see Talk:Volkswagen Group. Your input is appreciated and therefore we can prevent edit warring. Its essential we always come to a consensus. I am not trying to take it for a gain, I'm now using edit summaries different to yours but in a similar way, rather rewording it. I just don't like your white one as its blurry. Again, we have own opinions, but honestly the SG one was good. All I want to know is how you define "overwhelming distractions", because a lot of your images have these, rather you are doing that for yourself. -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 03:07, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

Decision on relocating your picture in the Audi Q7 page
Hello Vauxford, I might ask an request if i can relocate your picture to the second generation section of the Audi Q7 page with EurovisionNim's picture on the top infobox of the said page. If you already decide and said yes, that would be great or if not, we might need more discusion of it on the Audi Q7 talkpage, Audi Q7 great example page. Thank you and Happy Holidays!

Correction
I would like to add a correction to one of the photos you have posted.



The car photographed is NOT a Lamborghini Urraco but a Lamborghini Espada. I suggest that you delete the photo from the Lamborghini Urraco category and reupload it to the correct category. Cheers. U1Quattro (talk) 12:22, 28 December 2018 (UTC)


 * I would say done but a certain someone seem to done it for me, isn't that convenient? --Vauxford (talk) 15:38, 28 December 2018 (UTC)


 * EurovisionNim appeared to have started that. You also requested a name change so someone did that. It didn't happen automatically.U1Quattro (talk) 17:34, 28 December 2018 (UTC)


 * I was just having a light-hearted banter with you. I'm fully aware with what happened to the file and who done it. --Vauxford (talk) 18:47, 28 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Of course, I fixed the file for Vauxford, as a favour. I am usually fast at responses mate and adhere to requests before the users themselves. Both you and Vauxford take care for now :)) -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 00:21, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

Nice Outlander shots
Hi Vauxford, Thanks for giving me feedback in relation to my images. A little question I have is with your Outlander replacements. They are really impressive shots, however I'm a little concerned about why are you using your PHEV model, as opposed to the standard version.

I do not have any problems with your edits, but just thought I give you a friendly heads up that i have replaced it with the standard Outlander (I agree, the red Outlander is very reflective, but because it was a rental car, it still retained the shine. Also the height problem is because Fremantle roads are dangerous to stand on, as cars come at high speed and the next minute I get run over). Sometimes theres no need to have the latest version, because it does not illustrate the Outlander petrol version like yours (I hope you understand). However, I am going to be using the PHEV outlander for the electric car sections which I find extremely useful (PHEVs in Australia are rare due to little charging ports). Remember quality doesn't matter too much, its how effective the image is used, see Mini Countryman. PHEV for an Outlander section is a poor idea because it would not showcase what the standard Outlander is to the viewers, as many won't have interest in the section, so just saying, I'm going to be using my version. If you wish to undo, please discuss why you think yours is better, also do not do unnecessary reverts, just to showcase your image as this can be annoying (I usually assess how useful the image is to a set of articles). Standard models of the Outlander aren't sold in the UK as I've checked your official Mitsubishi website. I've however utilised the Outlander PHEVs you uploaded today for the electric vehicle topic as these are the latest, no need to revert. For the crossover in car classification, I used your QI image of the Skoda Kodiaq :) Have a good one, and is a compromise. -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 09:20, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Talkpage threading
FYI: just in case you haven't seen them, there is a guideline and an interesting essay on the subject of talkpage formatting at WP:THREAD and WP:INDENT. -- DeFacto (talk). 17:31, 30 December 2018 (UTC)


 * My bad, I moved it to make it chronologically correct but I guess it make sense based on the indent. --Vauxford (talk) 17:34, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Camera
Hi Vauxford, I hope you don't mind me asking but from the Exif data I see you use a Canon EOS 200D - I was generally curious is there simply put an easy way of getting something similar or is it a case of you simply saving up? I currently use a Nikon Coolpix S2800 (which bizarrely was £40 4 years ago but is now £100!) - It's a great camera but for me the images could be better ... miles better, You don't have to answer this and I wouldn't be offended if you didn't and I'm sorry if this seems personal, Thanks, – Davey 2010 Merry Christmas / Happy New Year 20:45, 30 December 2018 (UTC)


 * I saved up to buy this camera last Christmas and got it on my 18th birthday. I was considering a Coolpix as it a easy and portable device and gives a good pictures. What do you mean by "simply put an easy way of something similar"? --Vauxford (talk) 20:49, 30 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi, Ahhh right, Maybe it's the way you take yours but your images seem so much better although ofcourse yours is a better camera :), Oops fixed that should've said "is there an easy way of getting something similar?",
 * Anyway thanks for answering :), Hope you and yours have a very Happy New Year :)
 * Cheers, – Davey 2010 Merry Christmas / Happy New Year 21:03, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Mistaken edit
Hi Vauxford I saw your edit. You made a mistake. I was not referring to your photo. I was referring to the blue car image that I took. Please note I did not make a change with yours. I'll revert it back, because you completely got misguided. Its an error we all make, so don't worry. I am deeply apologetic if I mistook your one, I was not doing anything, the hatchback one was replaced by not me, you made an error. Please be mindful in your reverts okay. Don't discriminate colour, look for styling. Thats the key to achieving successful shots. Also indeed, a lot of my shots are like that so thats fine. -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 09:30, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

A kitten for you!
Nice photos !! Well done, and happy 2019. Love the ASX image, my 2017 images weren't the best – thus knew it was time to replace them
