About Photographic Dictionary

The Simple Online Photographic dictionary is a personal pet project originally started as an illustrated dictionary on Giraffian. It was designed as a quick reference, born out of a frustration for finding what you want on Wikipedia without having to wade through very verbose pages, but with the alternative goal of being more informative than a plain text dictionary.

Adding & Editing

The content on this site is tailored to appeal to a very wide audience, in particular children and people who speak English as a second language. As such, the language on this site tends to be very simple. This is the reason you cannot edit entries on this site directly. Helpful comments on dictionary entries will be taken into account, so don't be shy contacting me with corrections or extra information on any dictionary entry.

Mobile

If you're one of those people wanting to make a mobile app of this site (there seems to be a lot of you) remember that not all of the images are cc-by-sa, and all of the text is cc-nc-by so you can make a free app but you can't make one you can sell if you are including the site text too.

One day I may put up an API for this site. Maybe.
