Unclear text

What is meant by "This photo also shows the undisturbed patch of ground before he placed his boot there"? It clearly shows a disturbed patch of ground post-boot-placing. Robert K S 02:44, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was just about to ask that as well, perhaps there's something we aren't seeing? Jihiro 03:15, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Something makes me think there was a pair of photos and the caption text was inadvertantly copied between them. I'm going to delete the questionable text pending explanation. Robert K S 03:34, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Er, no I won't, not while it's protected as a featured image. Robert K S 03:34, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Me too, what does that mean???--SGT Tex16:04, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dunno, but it's been in the Commons description since 2006 January 10. howcheng {chat} 16:44, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It means that the photo shows Aldrin's bootprint and it also shows the how the ground looked like naturally (I.E. the area where Aldrin didn't step on) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.6.243.42 (talk) 20:20, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aldrin's link

Why is Buzz Aldrin showing up in red. Can't edit page at the moment to fix it :( User A1 08:41, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Because it's linking to commons:Buzz Aldrin, which doesn't exist. GeeJo ^(t)⁄_(c) • 11:37, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From my perspective it is a little bit confusing, why link to commons at all? Commons is as far as i can see (which may not be all that far) simply a media repository, which is not why we have wikilinks, wikilinks should be for linking encyclopaedic information, IMHO. User A1 23:08, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What you were seeing was the Commons description page, not the en-WP one. howcheng {chat} 16:23, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why has this picture been converted to greyscale?

AFAIK the photographs taken on the Moon were full-colour photographs. Even if there was not much colour visible on the Moon, I think the colour-information (in this case the colour of the Moon-surface) should be preserved. 93.216.204.251 (talk) 13:09, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
