[edit] Requested photo

It would be nice if someone could get a panoramic photo of Santa Clarita, preferably including the spread of the city and Magic Mountain. My wife has taken some interesting pictures from the hiking trail above East Canyon off The Old Road, but they are too hazy and don't include Magic Mountain. Mike Dillon 22:24, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Mike, I took some nice photographs of the SCV when I hiked up Towsley Canyon in April. The city and hills are green after the spring rains. I'd love to upload or send you a few of the best ones. The only thing I ask is a link to my website in the Photo credits, is that possible with any of the accepted use licenses for wiki images? You can view the photos on my site www.scvtalk.com. Thanks. Jeff

Hi Jeff. Thanks for offering your image. If you're referring to this image, I think that would be a nice addition to the article. As for your licensing options, you should read Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#For_image_creators. I generally license my own photos under {{GFDL-self}} and {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} (for example, this image). Both of those licenses allow commercial use, but "cc-by-sa-2.5" (a.k.a. Creative Commons Attribution, Share-Alike 2.5) requires attribution to the original author. You can include your website in the attribution notice (under the "Licensing" section of the image description page). You would probably want to use just {{cc-by-sa-2.5}}. If you don't want to allow commercial use or have other questions, you might want to ask one of the people listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Members. Mike Dillon 04:05, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Mike. I agree to use cc-by-sa-2.5 with a simple hyptertext link to my website. Now, I have a higher res version of that photograph, I will upload it to my site. I'm not entirely comfortable editing Wiki pages yet; perhaps you could place the image in a good location and size it accordingly? I'll look for a way to email you. Thanks!

Nevermind Mike, I figured out how to upload it after all. Do you think the placement/size etc are okay? Fun! --Jeff Wilson76 08:39, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the upload. I moved the photo into the infobox and shortened the caption a little to fit better in the box. The placement/size before were fine, but I think it looks cooler in the infobox. Feel free to move it back if you don't like it. Mike Dillon 15:34, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Santa Clarita baseball team

In 2004, the Santa Clarita Express are a collegiate team, made up of semi-pro players. I don't know the league the Express was in, but had played that year against opponents from the L.A. area. The ball park was on a college campus in Canyon Country, but forgot the college's name (please tell me what it is).
