Fotopedia was created by photo lovers who were looking for a relevant and simple place to showcase and enjoy photos. They started to build a photo encyclopedia which other photo lovers joined: photographers looking to share their photos with a wide audience and photo enthusiasts who could spend hours looking at photos.Be respectfulRespect one another. Fotopedia provides you with many ways of expressing yourself and interacting with the community. Act as if you were facing the person you are interacting with. Any user that harasses, intimidates or abuses members of the community will be removed. Respect the photographer. It's fabulous to be able to enjoy so many great photos. When you like a photo there are many ways for you to thank the photographer for sharing it: comment on it, reuse it in your albums, nominate it, vote for it, embed it in your website or blog, tell your friends about it. Giving visibility to photographers is a recognition of their great work and a way for those who want to earn from this great work. Respect the audience. People expect to find relevant photos in encyclopedia pages and interesting information. As a photographer, if you want to promote yourself and your services we encourage you to do it in your profile page and on your own albums. Then add your photos to the most pages possible as long as they are relevant to those pages. Nominate and vote for photos in a page only if they are relevant. Find people that share your interests. Follow them, interact with them. The more you interact with the community the more it will become interested in your work. Get involved and you will be rewarded! Photos: to add or not to addAdd photos that are yours. You will be attributed all the photos you add to your account. Adding photos that are not yours and that you don't have the rights to use is a lack of respect for the photographers. If you do so we will remove your account. Respect your photos. Your photos are beautiful. Adding a watermark and a frame harms them. Fotopedia takes care of always displaying the name of the author and its license. Keep in mind that a framed or watermarked photo will very unlikely get votes and make it to the encyclopedia. To promote yourself inside the encyclopedia add some of your photos without a watermark. Reuse photos from others. All the photos you find by browsing Fotopedia can be reused within Fotopedia. Drag and drop them to all the albums and pages you want. This includes the photos from Flickr you can search for from Fotopedia which are under Creative Commons licenses. Care for the children. Fotopedia is open to anyone 13 years old and above. Make sure you don't add any photo a 13 year old shouldn't see. This includes nudity and any photo you wouldn't show to your child, your mum, or your granny. EnjoyEnjoy the photos. Enjoy the community. Enjoy!
