What about something photography-related? Is "Darkroom" too negative and anachronistic? Does anyone younger than me know what those are ;) ? -Matthew On Tue, Aug 21, 2012 at 2:14 PM, Tomasz W.

I am totally open for the concept (although I wouldn't like to be the one answering everything!). Just a minor suggestion: lets pick something that is easier to spell ;) We Dutchies might be used to complicated French spelling, but I'm afraid not everyone is as lucky to have been tortured with that language in high school :) (no offence!) Also a castle gives me mostly the feeling of something you're trying to defend from outsiders. But the name is not the important issue of course, and I'm happy to let us give the concept a shot.

I prefer bridge than castle or château as these may sound too eurocentric. For a photographic term, what about tripod? Commons:Tripod suggests a photo helpdesk.

Oh, this is difficult. My 2 cents: château : difficult to write/spell, not very explicit. darkroom: scary bridge: windy, but I like it tripod: you wouldn't understand it, actually. I would propose something like "the square". I don't know if it's too eurocentric, but from the Greek "agorà" it is a place to meet and talk, it reminds of public and historical places to, and it's sunny and you can eat gelato waliking and making pictures :-) I would say Agorà it's better than square, don't know if everyone knows the meaning.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Help_desk I kept it very simple. But at least a simple help desk is a place people can go to to ask their questions. The intro can use some improvement, or somebody can come up with a different style of help desk. I've created this one with the idea "beter iets dan niets" (better something then nothing).
