<p><b>New page</b></p><div>This page explains what makes a good payphone photo, what not to upload, and how the moderation flow works.<br />
<br />
== What makes a good photo ==<br />
<br />
* '''Show the payphone clearly.''' A wide shot of the phone in its surroundings beats a tight crop of just the handset.<br />
* '''Daytime, in focus, level horizon.''' We're not pixel-peeping but blurry phone-camera shots in the dark are hard to use.<br />
* '''Multiple angles welcome.''' Front, side, the cabinet ID plate, the surrounding street — it all helps build a visual record.<br />
* '''Caption your photo''' in the upload description. "Front view, looking south along Watson Place" is more useful than "IMG_4521".<br />
<br />
== What not to upload ==<br />
<br />
* '''Photos that aren't yours.''' If you didn't take it, don't upload it. Pulling images off Google or social media is the fastest way to get an upload rejected.<br />
* '''Identifiable people.''' Try to avoid people's faces in shot. Members of the public have a reasonable expectation of not appearing on a wiki without consent. Crop or wait for a quieter moment.<br />
* '''Embedded GPS in indoor shots.''' Most modern phones embed location data in EXIF. If you accidentally upload an indoor photo, that data leaks your home/office. The wiki preserves EXIF; strip it before upload if it matters to you.<br />
* '''Anything containing personal info from the phone itself.''' Cabinet ID plates are fine (public info). Don't upload close-ups of any displayed phone numbers, personal notes left on the cabinet, etc.<br />
<br />
== Licence and attribution ==<br />
<br />
All photos uploaded to this wiki are released under [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0]. By uploading you confirm:<br />
<br />
# It's your own original photo.<br />
# You agree to share it under CC-BY-SA 4.0 — anyone can reuse it with attribution and the same licence.<br />
<br />
The upload form pre-fills the licence declaration. Don't change it unless your photo really is under a different free licence.<br />
<br />
== Moderation ==<br />
<br />
If you're a new account, your first uploads sit in [[Special:Moderation]] until a moderator approves them. This usually takes a day or so. Approved photos appear automatically in the '''Photos''' section of the relevant payphone page — no further action needed.<br />
<br />
If you've made several edits over a week or so without anything being reverted, you'll be auto-promoted past moderation.<br />
