Sydney Harbour Photo

https://commons.wikimedia.org/File:Sydney_Harbour_sunrise.jpg

I believe my photo is an improvment over the current photo as the photo shows the Sydney Harbour (including bridge and Opera house) as well as the North Shore and CBD of Sydney. Gibrate1 (talk) 07:04, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

It’s in silhouette, though. Artsy, but not good for the reader. Seasider53 (talk) 08:46, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Well.. not completley a silhouette as POI are still visible. Gibrate1 (talk) 10:28, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

My version also included the current Aboriginal Flag which replaced the NSW flag. Gibrate1 (talk) 10:36, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Yep, can't see that either. Seasider53 (talk) 12:01, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

I don't think it's a improvment since it has a digital watermark. Free images should not be watermarked as per WP:WATERMARK. Alexeyevitch 12:08, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

I propose a better top photo for the Sydney page, the current one is heavily "photoshopped", and makes the water look "purple" and the water "flat" and fake.. this is NOT what Sydney harbour looks like, also it only includes 2x elements, the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, again this is not what Sydney or Sydney harbour looks like.

I have uploaded a "real" photo / image, of what Sydney actually looks like in reality, and have tried to replace the "fake photoshopped" image that is "purple" with a real one of the full active busy Sydney harbour, with actual real waves and water the proper colour of water, a real sky, actual Sydney ferry's on the harbour working, the bridge, opera house, and the actual "city" of "Sydney" that is real, bona fide.

I've been trying to replace it with this image, and understand that I need to get group consensus before doing that, I'd assumed before that sensible edits would be accepted for the reasons I put in the Edit Summary, but someone seems obsessed with keeping the fake looking photoshopped image in place.. I am not trying to insult the landscape photographer who toke the photoshopped purple water image, but that image belongs in an art gallery, not on the Sydney page for Misplaced Pages.

please allow me to fix the Sydney wiki page - this is my home town, I live here, I know exactly what it looks like and it is 100% NOT purple ;-) thank you.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dez blanchfield (talk • contribs) 03:05, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

I prefer the existing image of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge at night. These are iconic of Sydney and deserve a photo to themselves. The image you are trying to replace it with is too similar to the existing image of the Sydney CBD. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 04:44, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

the image you're referring to is fake and photoshopped, I do not understand why you are obsessed with that photoshopped unrealistic purple photo? why are you blocking me from updating and improving the page for my home city with a proper full view of Sydney and Sydney harbour? is there some motive here? with full respect, I request consensus to update the Sydney page with a better photo of Sydney and Sydney harbour thanks.

Info Box Topic Change from Australian Place to Settlement Suggestion

I’m a fairly new editor and i want to make a request for a change in the Info Box topic from Australian Place to Settlement Place, this topic seems to be a lot more professional and understanding, it provides more information such as the economic and population status, as well as more sufficient fields and descriptions. It seems like most major cities across the world have this topic on their wikipedia pages for their information boxes, please reply if you think this change would improve the Sydney wikipedia article and maybe other major city wikipedia pages in Australia. Frazerater (talk) 10:46, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

The Australia place infobox is designed for Australian cities and towns. What information do you think needs to be added to the infobox? Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 02:43, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
