There WAS NO TEL AVIV PORT IN 1933! Either it's some beach restaurant with a small docking spot on the beach, or it's the SITE of the FUTURE port. In either case, the caption is very wrong.Arminden (talk) 20:40, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think I figured out what it actually shows: the site of the future port with the Levant Fair and Cafe Galina (1933 or 34)Arminden (talk) 21:32, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

@Avicennasis: This file should not be speedily deleted (nor slowly deleted, for that matter), because it is very useful ONCE ITS CAPTION IS SET RIGHT. We have a page on the Levant Fair and several more on Tel Aviv topics, including the Tel Aviv Port where it's been used so far with an inaccurate caption, but which I have corrected now.

How can we rewrite the caption on the file itself?

Useful info:

  • It is indeed the site of the future Tel Aviv Port with the Levant Fair and Cafe Galina
  • Café Galina, also known as Café Galina Sapir (built 1934, demolished 1999), designed by architect Genia Averbouch (1909-1977) with architects Elsa Gidoni (1901-1978) and Shlomo Ginzburg (Sha'ag; 1906-1976).[1]

@Arminden: I'm not saying we should delete this file - just the local page for it. If you want to amend the file description, you need to go to Wikimedia Commons to do so. The file description can be found at commons:File:PikiWiki Israel 2778 Tel Aviv port 1933-4 נמל תל אביב 1933-4.JPG, so that's the page you want to edit.

@Avicennasis: I'm really sorry, but I'm technically a total beginner, I am eager to put out good information, but lack the other skills and shouldn't be spending even a fraction of the time I'm already spending editing WP articles, let alone study the technical part of it. I'm not aware of the difference between local page and - what is it called? the main illustration file? I thought you want to throw out the picture because it's not what the contributor's caption says it is. If that's not the case, I'll leave it to others for now. I have piles of work to do in real life and WP is a place of refuge; I do sometimes need the ready information and having a good article one click away really helps, but that's a weak excuse and doesn't justify the amount of time it consumes. So I'm afraid it's back to you, sorry :) Arminden (talk) 20:50, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
