Free Flickr photos

[edit]

This article uses "official" photos as fair use images because photography generally isn't allwoed for visitors to the cave. Yet there are a few good free photos on Flickr that could be used instead seemingly taken by ordinary visitors:[1][2] Also, there are some lower res photos by a Lebanese tourist bureau that can be freely used:[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Pinging Elie plus. Note that even if photography is prohibited, caves cannot be copyrighted, so the photos can be used here anyway. FunkMonk (talk) 21:51, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

These look like very good replacements, I'm all for it! I'd stay clear from the two watermarked pics though. ~ Elias Z. (talkallam) 05:38, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, just noticed "Getty" in the second image, and seems that tourist site is banned from Commons, so it may be "Flickr-washing". But I did replace the infobox image, that at least seems to be legit, because the same user also has a higher res version of the same image with a different licence on his Flickr site. And by the way, Elie plus, seems the last Featured Article nomination was undermined by image problems, so maybe after the change, it could be nominated again?

New Wonders finalist?

[edit]

Hi guys, I really love Jeita Grotto, but for some reason this article says it was one of 14 finalists. According to the page below, there were actually 21 finalists, and Jeita wasn't one of them. I am disturbed because this misinformation is coming up in my child's schoolwork.

“Worlds longest stalactite”

[edit]

I’ve seen many articles about how Jeita Grotto houses the worlds longest stalactite, but also many other articles saying that a cave in Brazil, Caverna Janelao, has a 28m long stalactite, and another cave in China, Zhijin Cave, having a 166m long stalactite. Pls someone take action on this matter. Man Skizinksi (talk) 15:22, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
