I've created a template at Template:Geograph to mark geograph images in Wikipedia... any comments? Ojw 16:24, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
As one of the project creators, I should point out that the real "full" name of the site is "Geograph British Isles" and so this page might be better named "
Geograph British Isles Project"

This might better belong under commons:Template:geograph, but has anyone noticed a problem with some geograph images? Take this for example - the brickwork appears to display a Moiré pattern. Are these images being anti-aliased before downsizing? - Crosbiesmith 16:01, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
As the activity of geographing has no significance outside the context of the Geograph project, shouldn't the two be merged? -- Blisco 11:03, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Is there any particular reason why "project" is part of the article name? The project's website is headed simply: "Welcome to Geograph British Isles", and the title bar has the same phrase: the word "project" is only used lower down on the page. I've put a redirect at Geograph British Isles so that either link will work, but shouldn't this article really be there and not here? Loganberry ( Talk) 23:36, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
I've added an urban image to illustrate the project's coverage of the built environment. It's a fairly random choice from the site's weekly competitions, but chosen to contrast with the existing image in style and location (Ireland). Espresso Addict 02:48, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Is it acceptable to use images from geograph in Wikipedia? I'm guessing all you need to do is put the name of who took the image in the summary section of the image when you upload it to Wikipedia, right? Doom jester 03:29, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Awesome. Thanks. Just a thought though. Would it make sense to just have some way of linking from wikipedia to those images on geograph? I mean, aren't the sites kind of interconnected somehow? It doesn't really make sense to store 2 copies of the images, really. Doom jester 10:56, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
I've deleted the following text which isn't directly relevant to the page Geograph British Isles.

Image:GeographBrowseScreenshot.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 09:57, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

The home page shows a "Temporarily Offline" message, saying the site should be back by "early evening". This message is dated 21st November. What's going on? 86.132.139.23 ( talk) 17:10, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
The opening paragraph states freely accessible archive of geographically located photographs of the British Isles. The project excludes the Channel Islands which are not geographically within the British Isles. The main page of the Geograph British Isles website states "The Geograph British Isles project aims to collect geographically representative photographs and information for every square kilometre of Great Britain and Ireland". Any objections to changing the article to agree with the website and make it less confusing. -- Bardcom ( talk) 15:40, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
One year since I last looked and Ireland is as green as it ever was bar a few pics from visitors I'd suspect. The gap is now so massive that if ever proof positive were required that the overwhelming majority of people living in Ireland object to the term "British" being used to describe their country, we have it right here. Most emphatic. The article should be re-titled to reflect this fact? At the very least we need a section to explain to the reader why one large section of the islands remains virtually blank.

I have taken the liberty of moving the article to the project's new name. Wiki's position on the imposition of the term "British Isles" is starting to to resemble that of the folk in The Alamo! Sarah777 ( talk) 23:58, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
Doubtless overloaded by the sheer volume of photos I'm sending your way (insomnia let's call it) your server is down. But, to my horror, the message telling me that is headlined "Geograph British Isles". I nearly fell off my chair. Sarah777 ( talk) 03:13, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
I beleive the two milestone images shown are incorrectly labeled. I not sure if I should edit the article myself. The "Malvern Rise near to Dover" is image id 2,000,000 - it is not the 2,000,000th image. Many intermediate ids are not used (for technical reasons) and/or a image is sometimes accidently given two numbers. The 2,000,000th live image has just passed [1]. The second image labeled "1,000,000th image submitted" is again not quite right either. It was the 1,000,000th live image, but there are other image submitted (and later discounted). but this is possibly a bit pedantic, its just I think the current labels are misleading. BarryHunter ( talk) 23:04, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
I was choosing "random image" at W.Commons, and geograph.org.uk images come up very often. hadnt heard of this until i did so. i wonder what % of wcommons is from them. might be as high as 5%.(mercurywoodrose) 75.61.135.151 ( talk) 01:44, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
If this project is government funded, as stated, all the images should be public domain, not the license that is currently used. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.158.236.14 ( talk) 11:19, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
The main article talks as though bulk uploading from Geograph to Commons is ongoing, but it seems to have stopped around 1.8 million. I can still manually upload individual images with the basic upload page, but there is no systematic transfer going on, and hasn't for some years.-- Robert EA Harvey ( talk) 20:00, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
