Dear W.carter,
I'm reaching out to invite you to participate in a research session because you're an English Wikipedia editor who works with media files—either regularly or occasionally. If you (or any other media editors who see this!) are interested in participating in an anonymous interview—for which you will be compensated—please first fill out this short survey in which we ask you a few questions about working with media. At the end, we ask for an email address that we can use to contact you if you are selected for an interview. If selected, we will follow up with an email invitation to select a day/time to participate. As a thank you for your time and insights, we are able to offer interview participants a gift card in compensation for participation.
You can complete the survey on any internet-capable device, but in order to participate in the interview, you will need access to a computer and internet connection fast enough to support video calls.
Thank you!

Hi, in 2011 I changed the picture at the top of the article moonlight to a painting, and left a reason on the talk page. The next time I looked, somebody had changed it to a long exposure photo, without entering into discussion. More recently it has been replaced by your photo, which better illustrates how moonlight looks, as you say. But this is only because the photo is darker! Here it is with the exposure turned up in GIMP. I am of the opinion that the result looks just like daylight, and just like a long exposure photo taken in moonlight, and cameras just can't reproduce how moonlight looks to humans because they don't have rod cells like human eyes do, which are used in low light, as I said on the talk page. Rod cells are most sensitive to 500nm light, which is to say cyan, and there is a simulation at Purkinje effect. Will you comment? Your photo is highly praised, Swedish boat clubs are very nice, but I think it is a bad illustration of moonlight, and so are all photos unless possibly filtered to simulate how moonlight looks (which I could do to this photo if you think that's a good idea).

Hi W.carter,

The lion's mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata) is one of the largest known species of jellyfish, with a range confined to the cold, boreal waters of the Arctic, northern Atlantic, and northern Pacific Oceans. These photographs depict a lion's mane jellyfish in Gullmarn, a fjord on the western coast of Sweden, with its bell alternately expanded (top) and contracted (bottom). The specimen was likely a juvenile, with a bell 10 to 12 centimetres (3.9 to 4.7 in) in diameter and tentacles 60 to 80 centimetres (24 to 31 in) in length. The largest recorded individual of the species had a bell approximately 210 centimetres (7 ft) wide and tentacles around 36.6 metres (120 ft) long. Photograph credit: W.carter

Chorda filum, commonly known as dead man's rope and sea lace, among other names, is a species of brown algae in the genus Chorda. It is widespread in the temperate waters of the northern hemisphere, along the coasts of the northern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It typically has long, unbranched and hollow rope-like brown fronds about 5 millimetres (0.20 in) in diameter which can reach to lengths of 8 metres (26 ft). The holdfast is disc-shaped and it is found in sheltered marine and bodies of water at depths of 5 metres (16 ft). This photograph depicts long strands of C. filum on an underwater slope in Gullmarn, a fjord in Sweden. Photograph credit: W. Carter

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Cart!
The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Wikipedia friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:33, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I came across the interesting voice of ship Götheborg (ship), and would like to write it on the Italian Wikipedia too. I found you are one of the main contributors to the page, and wanted to ask if you could help me understand the flag issue.
In the entry it is written that while at sea the Götheborg is considered a passenger ship, and therefore flies the normal Swedish flag. While in port it is permitted to use the historic swallow-tailed flag of the Swedish East India Company.
But the photo in this article, which talks about when the Götheborg rescued a boat in distress, wasn't it taken at sea by the rescued boat, and therefore during navigation? What you see, however, looks like the swallowtail flag, and not the normal rectangular Swedish one.
Or in this photo, which again seems to have been taken at sea, the flag looks like the swallowtail one with the SOIC logo on it.
