A friendly reminder: Tag your photos correctly!

[Spider-Man]

I have been a bit OCD about some of these specifics lately as well. I was just wondering what all of the official titles for regionals are.

The one that I have the most questions about would be Philly which I have seen as either "Philadelphia Regional" or "Boilermaker Regional"

Tags are meant to help keep CD-Media organized, for everyone. If you are browsing with javascript disabled, please when you upload a photo, remember tag them properly...for the rest of us.

The official tag for a regional should be what is listed on the FIRST regional listing. If it's an off-season competition, it should be tagged as the event announces it on their documentation/website.

Is that rule bent for off-seasons with two well-known names (e.g. "WRRF California Robot Games" vs. "Cal Games", "Indiana Robotics Invitational" vs. IRI)? If it isn't officially, it seems to have been so in practice. Perhaps that'd be a good use for aliasing.

Those would be good uses for aliasing.
"IRI" vs "Indiana Robotics Invitational".
Same for "iri2007" vs "Indiana Robotics Invitational 2007"
Same for "JVN" vs "JVN"

I'd question that too. The Boilermaker Regional is held on the Purdue University campus in West Lafayette, Indiana, and gets the abbreviation "IN" on the FIRST site. It's totally unrelated to the Philadelphia Regional.

An example of the listing on FIRSTs site is in an attached image.
The highlighted area is what the tag should be for that regional.

How many of you have put an item on ebay to sell? Maybe Brandon (don't hate me) could work something out like that for what kind of item it is. so you can click regional then the regional name, or like something for team numbers or people. I don't know, I know people should be doing all of this themselves. But it seems that they don't. But if you feel like taking another few seconds you are able to add tags to photos. Just click the little icon under the tag box.

Are you suggesting some kind of 'help me tag this photo' drill-down thing to figure out the best tags for them?

Yes, my ebay reference is where when you wanna list something on ebay, you say ok it is, clothing, then adults, then mens, then shirt, then button down, then size XL.

So something like that like ok it is a regional, then you choose what one from a drop down, or like ok it is a robot, then just type the team number and you type 975 and it will automatically add the frc for you. etc...

A similar feature that may be easy to add would be a "commonly used tags similar to the letters you have begun to type." del.icio.us does this for tagging, and it helps me remember what tags are tags I have used in the past.

Also, don't forget to vote for tags that are accurate and to vote to delete tags that aren't.

[Brandon Martus]

Greg: yeah, I had planned on getting that auto-complete in there -- just got sidetracked.
