Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you ever need editing help visit Wikipedia:How does one edit a page and experiment at Wikipedia:Sandbox. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Wikipedia:Naming conventions or how to format them visit our manual of style. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. BTW, nice work with uploading the out-of-copyright images. Cheers! --maveric149


Just wanted to drop by to say I really liked the article you wrote on Fort McHenry. - Hephaestos 07:30 17 Jun 2003 (UTC)


Hi, I like the pics you're adding for parks and such! But you're shortchanging the reader by burying the colorful and exciting picture way down in the article, and putting the dull and almost-all-white locator map at the top. The pic should be at the top of the article (in the top part of table box preferably), and the map / tabular data below it. Stan 22:28, 11 Oct 2003 (UTC)


Hi, could you add the US map to WikiProject Protected Areas I want to locate Yellowstone National Park in the table I added to the article and it would be good to have your template. Tiles 19:07, 23 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Thanks. BTW I took Stan's advice and located the table below the first picture in Yellowstone National Park. It looks OK Tiles 05:36, 26 Oct 2003 (UTC)

...But Minesweeper came along and improved the page by putting the table back at the top! That's wiki for you. I will leave it as is, but you could have a look at my last edit and see what you think. Tiles 20:46, 26 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Zero-byte images

Hello; I just deleted two images you uploaded back in January and August 2003, because they were zero bytes. They were:

  • Image:John tyler.3.png, which had the caption From A History of the United States page 236 by Alma Holman Burton copyright 1899.
  • Image:Pigrace.256.jpg, which had the caption Picture I took and released under the GNU FDL.

It's quite possible you already re-uploaded them or know about the upload errors, but I thought I'd let you know just in case. --Delirium 09:57, Feb 17, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. There have been a couple of times where I have had errors on upload, it looks like these were some of them. Lorax

Hi Lorax,

Just thought you would like to know that I have nominated your photograph of Image:Enola gay 20040710 170220 1.4.jpg for WP:FPC. -- Solipsist 19:27, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for nominating it. It doesn't seem to be faring well there, but I am glad that someone likes it. Lorax 13:33, Oct 16, 2004 (UTC)
Yes, sorry. With three 'opposes' already, I doubt the tide will turn before the fortnight is out. I thought User:Ludraman was a little optimistic in holding out for a photograph of the plane in the open air. I suppose there might be a historical shot somewhere, but even so... -- Solipsist 15:28, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

The edit to Death Valley National Park made by Ytu was a revert to a much older version. Article fixed now and user has been blocked (all this user's edits have been checked and fixed if needed). --mav 10:03, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

a penny for your thoughts

I'm on my way to the LincolnMemorial to check out your photo of the penny but I'm sure it will be an improvement. Mine was an old worn out penny tossed onto my much maligned flat bed scanner and done that way. The point, one of the points, of wikipedia, is to keep making it better and better, and I suspect that with your new & improved penny picture this is what you've done. 16:42, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Boston Massacre gravestone picture

Hi - I have translated the article about the Boston Massacre to Norwegian, but as your picture of the gravestone is not on Wikipedia Commons it does not show up. Could you upload it to Commons? Ulflarsen 18:12, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved it to commons under the same name. Lorax 02:03, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Image:Korean veterans memorial dc 1.376.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

File source problem with File:Eli_whitney_illustration.3.jpg

File Copyright problem
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Eli_whitney_illustration.3.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:14, 11 July 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 01:14, 11 July 2009 (UTC) [reply]

Source info has always been on that page, please look closer Lorax (talk) 23:24, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please consider adding if it's a scan or was found online, then ? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 23:34, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Does it matter? it came from the book, you can verify that if you want. Two things you can be pretty sure of though, if it is from a book from the 1800's, it is a scan, they didn't have computers back then, second, if it is on wikipedia, it is online. Lorax (talk) 23:43, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
