Could someone give me some advice on adding pictures to this article? I have a number of great pictures that would significantly improve the presentation, but need some guidance on the process to follow. Thanks.

Depends on where the pictures are from. If they're your own, no problem; if they're from another source, depends on what the source is and the copyright situation attached to it. (post was by User:DAR56, id added by User:Skookum1

Here's the code to use to put in a picture:

[[Image:xxx.jpg|thumb|300px|right|This is the caption]]

Wikipedia formatting prefers PNG and certain other formats; JPGs are common but apparently there's a patent issue like there is/was with GIFs; PNGs are better for certain things like maps, also. Anyway, copy-paste that code into the article, putting in whatever your image filename is in place of "xxx.jpg", and save the page; then on the left below the go-search window you'll see "Upload file"; click on that and follow the directions; the best copyright tag to use (they're in a drawbar on the page that opens up) is the one that says "I created this work and release it into the public domain" - that's if it's your own, though.Skookum1 16:49, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category question

Shouldn't this have the Dams in Canada category? Or not, because it's not about any one dam in particular?Skookum1 17:42, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] BC & Pacific Northwest History Forum

Please see RE BC & Pacific Northwest History Forum re: Talk:List of United States military history events#Border Commission troops in the Pacific Northwest. If you think maybe I should also move some or copy some of my other stuff from NW history and BC history pages let me know; I never mean to blog, but I'm voluble and to me everything's interconnected; never meaning to dominate a page so have made this area to post my historical rambles on.
