:Hi Amberley, thank you for your comments. I knew that had been some problems when this template was first introduced and that support were insisting on uploads using {{tl|information}}. I thought that when this issue was resolved that everything was now working OK. Now that I am aware of the continuing problems with this mismatch of information provided and response, I will contact those I know in support to have them update their processes. I agree with you on the naming issue. Are uploaders changing the name of the files you are submitting? Once a file is uploaded and the name is inappropriate the file can be marked to be renamed with the template {{tl|rename media}}. Again thanks for bringing this issue to the fore. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] {{toolbar|[[User talk:Cottrells|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Cottrells|contribs]]}} 06:53, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

:Yes to both Steve, the uploaders are occasionally using the Geograph title rather than a wiki identifier and sometimes the upload is using Upload and a numerical identifier which takes time to locate the parish name etc in the image search box. It would be helpful if the image search could be refined to placename>church>county for English churches of all denominations as it is often necessary to load more than one image for an Anglican parish where churches have been replaced or other faiths have adapted old church buildings. The inconsistent uploading practice is time consuming to negotiate. [[User:Amberley|Amberley]] 06:23, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

:::Amberley, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I work with the team that uploads these files, there are a number of people who do so, and we will cover these items with them. The system that we pull the images from gives them that terrible name/number combination, and they may not realize that the images were named something else to begin with, so we'll work through that. Thanks for the notice. -- [[User:VasquezJL|janellv]] {{toolbar|[[User talk:VasquezJL|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/VasquezJL|contribs]]}} 11:31, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
