Aliasing picture <-> photo_(object).

Reason: Similar, if not identical, concepts. I'm toward picture, if only 'cause it could cover "drawn" pictures, too. However, if there's a want to photos only, then maybe an implication?

Between photo and picture, an alias would be too confusing. I favor a mass edit of picture to photo_(object) instead.

I wouldn't do a mass edit there's a few paintings and other things that aren't photos, but I too prefer photo_(object).

Photographs within an image should definitely stay photo_(object) and picture is for... well yeah I suppose the things you'd hang on a wall. Picture just needs to be cleaned up.

There's a bunch of "the things you'd hang on a wall" (for lack of a better term) under painting but we may want to clean up both tags and make clear descriptions for each.

bumping. what exactly makes a picture different from photo_(object)?

i scanned the images and they look pretty the same. if the 'picture' is framed and hanged on the wall then it's a picture? if the 'picture' was printed out of a developed film without a frame but tacked on a cockboard or a wall; or inside a photo frame on top of a desk then it's a photo_(object)?

i find this a bit confusing. shouldn't we just use a hanged_picture/photo for those 'pictures' hanged on the wall? the plain tag picture doesn't tell anything if it's hanged on the wall or not. besides, we have a tag taking_picture/s.

and how exactly we know that the one hanged on the wall is indeed a 'picture' and not a finished and framed painting_(object) instead?

The picture tag is a real mess with everything from photos spread on ground to actual photos showing the inside of a style manual.
Most posts how ever has some undefined things hanging on walls, often framed.

Posts with painting_(object) often shows paint or brushes in the image that lead us to believe that they are paintings and not photos or digitally created pictures.

Both tags need to be cleared up IF we can agree on a definition of picture.

bumping and looking for other ideas, if none (as in OP):
create alias picture -> photo_(object)
create alias pictures -> photo_(object)

Done. Might be a few exceptions like post #1090712 but we can find and change them as easily under photo_(object) as under picture.
