Red-lored Whistler
 Oppose Temporary oppose. We should not promote an image where we have no idea where the photo was taken. See Commons:Image guidelines. Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:40, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
With all due respect, there are sometimes good reasons for not having geocoding: privacy (should Cart or for that matter I, have been required to disclose the exact locations where we live?) or in the case of a photo like this maybe it's a rare species and it would not be a good idea to have everyone destroying habitat looking for a photo.

  • Charlesjsharp: from en wiki: large parts of its range are protected, as National Parks and other reserves. The Red-lored Whistler is subject to a different conservation status in each State where it occurs. Imo this is enough for a reason to withheld the location. -- Ivar (talk) 10:28, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Just to be clear, there was no category to even indicate which country the bird was, never mind the State; so no lectures needed. I am more than aware of the need to protect specific locations. Geocodes can use fewer significant figures to make locations less specific. Then users can quickly click to see roughly where the animal etc. is. Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:25, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
