[edit] Images

Hi Vandy. You asked how to add an image to the infobox. I'm no expert, but you can upload an image from your computer if you have one, but it has to be licensed for free use - no copyright restrictions. (click on upload file on the left of the screen and follow insructions). If that is not possible, download an image of an album cover from say Amazon or AMG, then upload here, and choose "album cover" under licensing. If you'd like I can do the album cover image, have done plenty of those so far. Just let me know which one. Cricket02 01:10, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Good. Now just put the name into the image field in the infobox. Here are a few articles I've started with infoboxes if you need something to reference: [Bradley Joseph]], Alfreda Gerald, Charlie Adams (drummer), Charlie Bisharat, Karen Briggs. Remember to add a "fair-use rationale". Hey, I noticed earlier on your userpage that you started an article for Homerun Inn. I'm from there and it made me miss the food!

Looks good. I added a pretty standard fair-use rationale to the image. If you'd like you can remove and re-copy it into the summary with your own signature - does not matter. Good luck. Cricket02 18:55, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of Info from Fort Smith, Arkansas

Hi, I was reviewing edits to the Fort Smith article and notice you removed the following as vandalism; The jail cell below Judge Parker's courthouse was infamous for its unsanitary conditions and dangerous inmates. It was a single room where thieves, rapists, and murderers of all kinds awaited trial. The cell was nicknamed "Hell on the Border," but after the jail was closed the name began to be regularly applied to the city of Fort Smith. Today, "Hell on the Border" is still the official nickname of the city. I can assure you it was not vandalism (ref: http://www.nps.gov/archive/fosm/history/radio/38.htm). I am wondering about your familiarity of the the area and why you removed it as "vandalism"? Are you aware of something that I am missing? The hanging judge was brutal, in a brutal place at a brutal time. -- Xltel 23:08, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] vandalism

I did not vandalize the Hinsdale Central page at all. Inaccurate information was posted on the website, such as the average act was 2, and the class size was three students, and there were only 11 teachers in the school. I saw the need to fix it with accurate information from the schools website in order to keep wikipedia as accurate as possible. Do you mind telling me why you had the urge to say I vandalized it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mathut1 (talk • contribs) 05:53, 5 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Poor excuses

Thanks for fixing the first paragraph of List of largest suspension bridges. I appreciate the improvements you have made. But may be so bold to suggest that you tone down your edit comments? Calling something a "poor excuse for an introductory paragraph", however true it may be, is not going to ingratiate you with the editors who contributed to that paragraph. It is not the best way to introduce yourself to the people who have been working on the page, after all, they are the only people who will probably see your edit comment. Your comment was like saying, "I'm here, don't mess with me, I know what I'm doing and you don't". People like myself (I happened to have written that disgraceful paragraph), will consider you with a suspicious eye. I will try to assume good faith that you meant well. -- Samuel Wantman 07:42, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
