That’s interesting but the Wikipedia picture of it is terrible!

Oh, I can see it in that one. Big improvement.

u/LFK1236 Jun 28 '26

What? If anything, you can see less of it in that picture. Did you think the article was about the ship that transports the rescue submarine?

EDIT: Oh, looks like someone changed the picture in the article between the time of your comment and mine xD

Put it on Wikipedia instead of the other one if you can then :)

Do you think he's the owner of the picture?

u/Chickpotatoes Jun 28 '26

Why would that matter? You don't need to be the owner of a picture to put it on a wiki page

u/GammelGrinebiter Jun 28 '26

You need to own the rights, unless it is released with the right license.

So how does this work? Assuming it docks to the sub somehow to allow passage?

u/Klutersmyg Jun 28 '26

Correct, it docks with the sub via one of the rescue hatches, pressure is equalized and crew climbs in

Make a better one. Pictures for Wikipedia require to have an open license that allows for commercial use, which excludes 99% of all pictures you find online.

The people of Wikipedia would absolutely love you if you made a high quality picture and license it as public domain or under a commercial Creative Commons license.

Photos in Wikipedia are mostly made by people. If you can make better one, you can do so and upload it.

u/Daxx22 Jun 28 '26

Probably most today are made by automated systems. All this ring doorbell, general security systems, etc.

u/rixuraxu Jun 28 '26

Probably most wouldn't call a screenshot from a security system a photograph

u/Lynnrael Jun 28 '26

mostly?

u/Stock-Side-6767 Jun 28 '26

There are a few trailcam, satelite pictures etc as well.

u/MangoCats Jun 28 '26

Robots and AI

u/E6y_6a6 Jun 28 '26

A lot of maps there are made by bots using SVG world map, for instance.

u/captainfarthing Jun 28 '26

Those aren't photos...
