Photos

Ok well first of all if you need help with anything let me know. Now if you are willing to take photos then here is what we need.

Kiev Metro (have a look at the article first) Photos of all the stations (view of the central hall from both ends, platforms, and for some with decorations details of them as well). Подробнее про метро можно узнать на форуме метролюбителей на кoторый приглашаю.

To publish photos I strongly recommend to use wikicommons so that other language wikipedias can use them as well like this one. To use wikicommons several steps have to be taken. (I already started with publishing 1962 images of the metro)

First go there and register [1];
Go to the upload file and you should see the following ([2])
You can only upload anything from your harddisk so under the source filename give your internal PC adress of the file
Under Destination filename: give it something suitable (eg Image:n-skaya.jpg).
In the summary box enter name of photographer, date taken, desctiption of what is shown..etc
Now the next thing you will need is to put a licence. I recomend either own work or GFDL with cc-by-sa-2.5. Otherwise it will be deleated within sevendays
Upload file
if you get a name error modify the name with a minor variation to spelling

That is it pretty much, if you need any help let me know-Kuban kazak 17:08, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1. Okay! Thanks for all the information and instructions! As I have time and I am traveling around the city I'll begin taking pictures of the metros. (Some are very decorative.) I will upload them as you suggested. Also FYI, English is my first language, I know very little Russian and no Ukrainian. Greg.ory 20:32, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
