I noticed that you have been adding extra images to the M car sections of the articles on the base model [1] with the text between the two images, I think this may be inconsistant with the MOS section regarding image placement ( MOS:SANDWICHING). I am not sure but just wanted to make sure you were aware of this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Toasted Meter ( talk • contribs) 16:04, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
I had a wonderful day yesterday at the Listers Birmingham Audi in Shirley. They had pretty much the entire inventory of all the latest RS and S Variant of there models. I took the opportunity to photographed each one as best as I can both front and rear and it was one of the most fun things I have done during my car spotting. I hope these images will become very useful to the WikiProject Automobiles. -- Vauxford ( talk) 14:08, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
Hey, this new camera I got for my birthday, brilliant camera but it annoys me for some reason when focusing on the car when I go car spotting, it ends up focusing one half of the vehicle and blur out the other. What I wanted it to do is do what my Point and Shoot did and just focus on the entire thing. I know it does that to focus on the subject automatically but for the case I have with vehicles it annoying to see one half sharp and clear and the other half all blurry.
My model is a Canon EOS 200D which just the below the model you have and I presume it has similar settings. If any advice or help to get it so it can focus on the entire would be greatly helpful.
Many thanks.-- Vauxford ( talk) 00:13, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
Hey Nim. To further help out with Automobile photographs and also makes my car spotting slightly more fun. Would it be possible to give a list of cars need photograph (whether there lack of images of it or need a better quality) I'll be happy to have a list that I can look at so I know what to look out for. -- Vauxford ( talk) 11:43, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi Nim, I want to show this image since your into Hybrids/Electronic vehicles. Saw a family of 3 parking this Jaguar I-Pace in the streets of Leamington Spa. What interesting about this is it has stickers on both the front and rear bumper saying "Prototype Vehicle". Usually I would never upload a image I took that is badly blurred or covered in snow but I just couldn't resist, hopefully I would get a better shot since I live near one of the facilities in Gaydon and a Garage not too far away.
P.S: Don't mean to sound impatience but how far are you done with that list of vehicles need photographing? -- Vauxford ( talk) 17:25, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
Make the UK the 51st state? How silly. Each component would have to be its own state to make it fair, so we'd have states 51 through 54. Or maybe 53; Northern Ireland might not be big enough to justify statehood (Hell, Guam isn't really big enough and they're good folk) so maybe they'll become a territory. -- Barstern ( talk) 14:22, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
Hello EurovisionNim. I think it is useful to show a few examples of hatchbacks at the start of the article, therefore I would like to restore these images. Cheers, 1292simon ( talk) 02:00, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
Hello again. The brash party/novelty limousines are probably the type of limousine that most readers are familiar with, so I think it is worth having a picture of one at the top of the article. If there is a better quality image than the one I added, I am happy for that to be used instead.
Regarding the panel van, I would like to see images of the 1940s Ford, Austin A35 and Morris Minor 1000 included in the article. Also, the Transit, Trafic and Sprinter are very similar vehicles, so I think the opening images should show a greater variety of panel vans. Cheers, 1292simon ( talk) 00:13, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi Nim, I recently went to the Old Ford Rally 2018 event at Gaydon. It also the most photographing I done in one day (I took about 265+ photos) but lots of good quality images in my opinion. Useful to replace any of the ageing pictures in there respective articles. -- Vauxford ( talk) 03:19, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
Hi Nim, just so you know I just edit one of your latest photos of the facelifted Mazda6. Adjusted lighting to give it a less harsher shadow over it. Sorry if I'm nitpicking a bit, but there was one opportunity that you could've wait a few more second until the bystander went out of your shot which seem to be a common factor with your pictures, especially in streets that seem to be quiet at the time, but I might be wrong. -- Vauxford ( talk) 19:21, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi Nim, I been viewing your recent photos. A lot of them are good examples and it great that you found a decent spot to find them. However, I'm concern of how you been editing recently. Personally I think your starting to get a bit carried away when deciding whether the picture should actually be replaced or not. Replacing them over minor or fussy reasons can be frustrating not just to me and you but to other photographers and editors; but from reading your edits, it beginning to look like that. Your getting a bit rigid over the whole following WP:CARPIX guideline as a reason for your edits.
Although CARPIX is a good guide to have a basic understanding of how to photograph a vehicle. If a photo of a car doesn't follow CARPIX in some minor aspect doesn't make it a bad photo, the guidelines on CARPIX are there to help you but doesn't stop you from doing it in your own style.
In the past I did used to photograph and heavily relying on CARPIX guidelines and I admit my habits of editing is no better but after digging through and seeing the backstory and the reason behind why CARPIX was rewritten, I began distancing myself from it, I started doing it in my own style and now think it doesn't harm for a pictures to be used even it doesn't meet 1 or 2 guidelines in minor aspects (3/4 view, front and rear should always be prioritises though). Also I see your taking inspiration on some of the ways I photograph cars such the side shots.
In a nutshell if you are planning of replacing more photos in vehicle/vehicle-related articles just decide if it really necessary to or not. If the car has a spot of dirt or two or have 1/10th of another car protruding behind or even a couple of street objects, please reconsider, especially the Wikiwide edits. (The one you did with the Audi Q5 was fine because it was grainy since I took it before I had my DSLR). If your not sure when coming across this, just drop by on my talk page.

Hello, I have a favour to ask please. Could you please have a hunt around for photos of the current (ND) generation of the Mazda MX-5/Miata with the roof down? The one on the Mazda MX-5 (ND) page is on a display stand, and ideally I'd like one "in the wild" to give some perspective to the size. It's for the Roadster page.

Hello EurovisionNim,
I'm a German WP-user. Saw you put in new picts of the car named above.
In the Info-box it' s a little bit unfortunate, because I tried to discuss the topic in the diskussion of German WP. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diskussion:BMW_G01.
The second topic is the rear G01: the pict was used before shows the LED-back light in action. This is not shown in your pict. Second point I'm not happy with, your silver G01 shows special equipment components. And we try not to have too many picts. For this reasons I'll put in the pict. by the fotographer before. I'm not interested in an edit war, so I want to ask you in a case there is a pict in an article to discuss your idea/wish at the discussion-page of the article.
Best regards, -- Wikisympathisant ( talk) 13:33, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
Thankyou for your comment mate. I am happy for the replacement. The Australian version of the G01 may bit a little different. – I do not recall that I replaced that image, but I may have signs of early memory loss. I do not speak German, only know a few words, but thats about it. Can you further explain this "extra equipment". This image isn't aftermarket, but I like the white car, so we shall use this. Best, -- EurovisionNim (talk to me) (see my edits) 13:37, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi, infobox pictures dont need to be base model pictures, this is stated in WP:automobile conventions, also the picture you added for Giulia article is very dirty unwashed car, if you find any better than that black picure free to change , but there isnt such picture at the moment available. --> Typ932 T· C 12:46, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Just looking through your reverts, it seem to have proven my point about you. Edit summary such as this, this one and this one.
"Also I can't help taking under a tree" "Its seems pointless for me to get the "perfect" shot, stop being picky" "i'm actually getting quite upset. You believe that ALL your images should be used on Wikipedia. Well Einstein, it doesn't work like that."
Well now you know exactly how I feel with your past edits and pretty much complain about the very same things I was talking with you in past talkpages. I knew something was up which is why I intentionally replace pictures with the similar edit summary as you put in the past to see what happened and proven my point. -- Vauxford ( talk) 10:44, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

on wiki-it in the infobox you always put the image of the older version of the car, not the most recent one. thanks -- Pil56 ( talk) 07:42, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
Although imitation is the highest form of flattery but, why recently you trying to get most of your images as QA, keep in mind I don't nominate my image willy nilly and seeing the ones you nominated all of them have a few problems, such as high noise level and tight crop. After all this time why have you just started doing that? Is it because I been doing it so you wanted to do as well. just like how you try do every thing the same as how I do it? Or is there a more cynical reason and you think that getting your own images to QA will give you upper advantage over me due to the recent conflict we had?
Whatever the reason is slowly getting on my nerves. It fine to be inspired by other photographers like I did in the beginning but you're copying every single thing I do. When I started to do side shots, you started to do side shots, when I mention jargon terms like chromatic aberration and any buzzword I used in my edit summary you use what I exactly said as your own. Now you seem to think "Well, if Vauxford nominating his images, I'm gonna do the same thing as him!" Now I don't know what motive you have with this but I'm leaning on the more cynical reason.
To put this way, stop trying to replicating every thing I do, I know you do and I can find evidence to show it, why can't you think for yourself and not just leech onto others, please consider that and for once read every thing I said carefully before replying. -- Vauxford ( talk) 08:00, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
For the first time I'm honestly perplexed of what your trying to say. You revert the XV image, yet it the exact same car. Why was it needed to be reverted, I added my one because it was a matching colour. -- Vauxford ( talk) 23:32, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
You seem very defensive all of a sudden with this model. I sitll don't get why I'm not allowed, it the same car isn't it? I say it makes it look nicer because of the similar colour. -- Vauxford ( talk) 23:58, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
Title seems pretty simple.
Going to your message to user Vauxford at 2347UTC, 7th December 2018, you say that "We need to use a variety of authors" on Wikipedia pages. Now, I changed some of your images on the Transperth Wikipedia page, only for you to kick them back out.
Seems just slightly hypocritical of you.
Also, using your 'powers' as such to mass revert images - is it me, or are you using those capabilities so no one can have their (rather nicer images I must say) picture/s on show?
I wasn’t block evasion but I was asking to unlock my account because therenotime didn’t unlock me since the retirement. I wish you can help me with this. Regard Benjaminzyg -- 2001:8003:DC1C:9E00:7508:FA3D:60D7:15AC ( talk) 08:43, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

It a shame that it has to come to this but Nim, I am considering taking action on WP:ANI about this. Main reason is your behaviour as well as your effort to try and talk, edit, photograph exactly as I do, taking phrases and paragraphs or just simply how I speak and think for your own pleasure and advantage. OSX's impossible guideline when it come to displaying images and to have pass on the habit of shoving CARPIX down everyone throats to you and disrupting many articles, which is why I decided to take matters in my own hands and the only person that seem to have a problem with it is you, I would mention Charles and do I respect him but I find his logic with photographing too inconvenient for his own liking. EDIT 1: Call me paranoid but your request for other users to edit all the automobile article concerns me. Is this your effort of asking someone to do the mass replacing of what I done for you?
I had private discussion with some individuals since I know you like to stalk me wherever I go on Wikipedia and try and sway others, there advise was to take it to ANI. It might resulted in both of us getting some form of consequences but I say it for the better. -- Vauxford ( talk) 11:40, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
Hello, I just wanted to know why do you agree with the IP's summary that the caption on some articles are not needed anymore? I quite noticed it just now. Thanks in Advance! VictorTorres2002 ( talk) 01:06, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi Nim. It's your call, but I think the question about sedan images is best discussed on the article's Talk Page, since it directly relates to the article. I believe the current images are well suited to the article (although I would like to see the Model A pic restored), however the question was directed at you, so I'll wait until you've responded before throwing in my own 2 cents!
I hope you have a Merry Christmas, and all the best for the new year. Cheers,

Hi Nim, Please don't post comments such as
this - Adding Vauxfords images under a "images to avoid" is bad enough but then to call his images crap is out of line,
You're both photographers but Nim you need to remember you don't
own any article here and any editor is free to replace your image whenever and wherever they please,
I appreciate a good chunk of articles contains Vauxfords images but me being me I always strive to have a variety of peoples images not just one editors .... however there aren't that many good images around and Vauxford seems to take the best ones so far (although not all are great and on a few articles I've replaced his images and no I would say all this if he was any nationality)
When it comes down to I'd prefer to have one editors good images instead of different editors images where some are excellent and some are extremely poor!),
You've already gone to every Wikimedia project on the planet and replaced every image with your images (something I have a major major issue with) so it may be worthwhile taking a step back from EN for a bit to just chill and maybe concentrate on those projects (apart from Simple and Commons),
As I said take a step back for a while, Enjoy the festive period and come back when you're more relaxed :),
Thanks and take care, –

any editor is free to replace your image whenever and wherever they please. We work on WP:CONSENSUS. If the consensus says keep the current image and do not replace it, then the current image stays. WP:BOLD edits are fine, but if they are violating consensus, they will be reverted. If there is disagreement on what picture is best, we have to find consensus. If no new consensus is found, the old picture stays.
Stepho-wrs You sure this doesn't sound like a obsession Nim is making? The urge that there MUST be someone photographing cars on Wikipedia, this hobby is more of bringing him distress and discomfort then actually enjoying it. I did mention that I try to balance quality and quantity when it come to uploading them and I don't think there that mediocre. One thing I'm disliking though, is how childish Nim is with these accusatory and slanderous comments. Almost every reply he made to someone that isn't me is things like "Vauxford's car list he gave me is too much for me"
"Unfortunately, Vauxford does the same thing of picturing cars on the street"
"I have told Vauxford"
"A lot of Vauxford's images"
like I'm the scapegoat. --

Hello, I have a favour to ask please. Could you please have a hunt around for photos of the current (ND) generation of the Mazda MX-5/Miata with the roof down? The one on the Mazda MX-5 (ND) page is on a display stand, and ideally I'd like one "in the wild" to give some perspective to the size. It's for the Roadster page. Thanks, 1292simon ( talk) 06:07, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
Hello EurovisionNim,
I'm a German WP-user. Saw you put in new picts of the car named above.
In the Info-box it' s a little bit unfortunate, because I tried to discuss the topic in the diskussion of German WP. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diskussion:BMW_G01.
The second topic is the rear G01: the pict was used before shows the LED-back light in action. This is not shown in your pict. Second point I'm not happy with, your silver G01 shows special equipment components. And we try not to have too many picts. For this reasons I'll put in the pict. by the fotographer before. I'm not interested in an edit war, so I want to ask you in a case there is a pict in an article to discuss your idea/wish at the discussion-page of the article.
Best regards, -- Wikisympathisant ( talk) 13:33, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
Thankyou for your comment mate. I am happy for the replacement. The Australian version of the G01 may bit a little different. – I do not recall that I replaced that image, but I may have signs of early memory loss. I do not speak German, only know a few words, but thats about it. Can you further explain this "extra equipment". This image isn't aftermarket, but I like the white car, so we shall use this. Best, -- EurovisionNim (talk to me) (see my edits) 13:37, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi, infobox pictures dont need to be base model pictures, this is stated in WP:automobile conventions, also the picture you added for Giulia article is very dirty unwashed car, if you find any better than that black picure free to change , but there isnt such picture at the moment available. --> Typ932 T· C 12:46, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Just looking through your reverts, it seem to have proven my point about you. Edit summary such as this, this one and this one.
"Also I can't help taking under a tree" "Its seems pointless for me to get the "perfect" shot, stop being picky" "i'm actually getting quite upset. You believe that ALL your images should be used on Wikipedia. Well Einstein, it doesn't work like that."
Well now you know exactly how I feel with your past edits and pretty much complain about the very same things I was talking with you in past talkpages. I knew something was up which is why I intentionally replace pictures with the similar edit summary as you put in the past to see what happened and proven my point. -- Vauxford ( talk) 10:44, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello EurovisionNim,
few months ago I discussed the topic above and you agreed the white G01 is a good pict. I don't understand you (and Alexander-93, neither) changing the pict. You wrote in comment about a big deal, to whom?? Please let me know. Regards, -- Wikisympathisant ( talk) 19:03, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
on wiki-it in the infobox you always put the image of the older version of the car, not the most recent one. thanks -- Pil56 ( talk) 07:42, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
Although imitation is the highest form of flattery but, why recently you trying to get most of your images as QA, keep in mind I don't nominate my image willy nilly and seeing the ones you nominated all of them have a few problems, such as high noise level and tight crop. After all this time why have you just started doing that? Is it because I been doing it so you wanted to do as well. just like how you try do every thing the same as how I do it? Or is there a more cynical reason and you think that getting your own images to QA will give you upper advantage over me due to the recent conflict we had?
Whatever the reason is slowly getting on my nerves. It fine to be inspired by other photographers like I did in the beginning but you're copying every single thing I do. When I started to do side shots, you started to do side shots, when I mention jargon terms like chromatic aberration and any buzzword I used in my edit summary you use what I exactly said as your own. Now you seem to think "Well, if Vauxford nominating his images, I'm gonna do the same thing as him!" Now I don't know what motive you have with this but I'm leaning on the more cynical reason.
To put this way, stop trying to replicating every thing I do, I know you do and I can find evidence to show it, why can't you think for yourself and not just leech onto others, please consider that and for once read every thing I said carefully before replying. -- Vauxford ( talk) 08:00, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
For the first time I'm honestly perplexed of what your trying to say. You revert the XV image, yet it the exact same car. Why was it needed to be reverted, I added my one because it was a matching colour. -- Vauxford ( talk) 23:32, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
You seem very defensive all of a sudden with this model. I sitll don't get why I'm not allowed, it the same car isn't it? I say it makes it look nicer because of the similar colour. -- Vauxford ( talk) 23:58, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
Title seems pretty simple.
Going to your message to user Vauxford at 2347UTC, 7th December 2018, you say that "We need to use a variety of authors" on Wikipedia pages. Now, I changed some of your images on the Transperth Wikipedia page, only for you to kick them back out.
Seems just slightly hypocritical of you.
Also, using your 'powers' as such to mass revert images - is it me, or are you using those capabilities so no one can have their (rather nicer images I must say) picture/s on show?
I wasn’t block evasion but I was asking to unlock my account because therenotime didn’t unlock me since the retirement. I wish you can help me with this. Regard Benjaminzyg -- 2001:8003:DC1C:9E00:7508:FA3D:60D7:15AC ( talk) 08:43, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

It a shame that it has to come to this but Nim, I am considering taking action on WP:ANI about this. Main reason is your behaviour as well as your effort to try and talk, edit, photograph exactly as I do, taking phrases and paragraphs or just simply how I speak and think for your own pleasure and advantage. OSX's impossible guideline when it come to displaying images and to have pass on the habit of shoving CARPIX down everyone throats to you and disrupting many articles, which is why I decided to take matters in my own hands and the only person that seem to have a problem with it is you, I would mention Charles and do I respect him but I find his logic with photographing too inconvenient for his own liking. EDIT 1: Call me paranoid but your request for other users to edit all the automobile article concerns me. Is this your effort of asking someone to do the mass replacing of what I done for you?
I had private discussion with some individuals since I know you like to stalk me wherever I go on Wikipedia and try and sway others, there advise was to take it to ANI. It might resulted in both of us getting some form of consequences but I say it for the better. -- Vauxford ( talk) 11:40, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
Hello, I just wanted to know why do you agree with the IP's summary that the caption on some articles are not needed anymore? I quite noticed it just now. Thanks in Advance! VictorTorres2002 ( talk) 01:06, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi Nim. It's your call, but I think the question about sedan images is best discussed on the article's Talk Page, since it directly relates to the article. I believe the current images are well suited to the article (although I would like to see the Model A pic restored), however the question was directed at you, so I'll wait until you've responded before throwing in my own 2 cents!
I hope you have a Merry Christmas, and all the best for the new year. Cheers,

There is a wikipedia user by the name of SydneyFC111 who is persistently vandalising the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks wikipedia page. They have made 6-7 edits which are clearly done for malicious purposes. I don't know exactly how to report a user but I am surprised they have not been blocked already.

You and Letdorf are the top to editors to this article, which has volumes of text and has virtually no references for that text. Can you please cleanup the article by adding references or deleting text that can't be referenced? -- David Tornheim ( talk) 22:38, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi Nim, Please don't post comments such as
this - Adding Vauxfords images under a "images to avoid" is bad enough but then to call his images crap is out of line,
You're both photographers but Nim you need to remember you don't
own any article here and any editor is free to replace your image whenever and wherever they please,
I appreciate a good chunk of articles contains Vauxfords images but me being me I always strive to have a variety of peoples images not just one editors .... however there aren't that many good images around and Vauxford seems to take the best ones so far (although not all are great and on a few articles I've replaced his images and no I would say all this if he was any nationality)
When it comes down to I'd prefer to have one editors good images instead of different editors images where some are excellent and some are extremely poor!),
You've already gone to every Wikimedia project on the planet and replaced every image with your images (something I have a major major issue with) so it may be worthwhile taking a step back from EN for a bit to just chill and maybe concentrate on those projects (apart from Simple and Commons),
As I said take a step back for a while, Enjoy the festive period and come back when you're more relaxed :),
Thanks and take care, –

any editor is free to replace your image whenever and wherever they please. We work on WP:CONSENSUS. If the consensus says keep the current image and do not replace it, then the current image stays. WP:BOLD edits are fine, but if they are violating consensus, they will be reverted. If there is disagreement on what picture is best, we have to find consensus. If no new consensus is found, the old picture stays.
Stepho-wrs You sure this doesn't sound like a obsession Nim is making? The urge that there MUST be someone photographing cars on Wikipedia, this hobby is more of bringing him distress and discomfort then actually enjoying it. I did mention that I try to balance quality and quantity when it come to uploading them and I don't think there that mediocre. One thing I'm disliking though, is how childish Nim is with these accusatory and slanderous comments. Almost every reply he made to someone that isn't me is things like "Vauxford's car list he gave me is too much for me"
"Unfortunately, Vauxford does the same thing of picturing cars on the street"
"I have told Vauxford"
"A lot of Vauxford's images"
like I'm the scapegoat. --
