[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:2006NeighborsNewRG.JPG

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:2006NeighborsNewRG.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 12:53, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding original research

Hi, BrianAsh! I ran across one of your contributions to Wikipedia and decided to check out your userpage. I just wanted to leave you a note regarding a statement you made there, so that you were aware of policy:

Hopefully, I find an employer who is fine with me sharing many professional findings here.

Check out WP:OR. Unless the information you discover is peer reviewed and published elsewhere, Wikipedia would not be the place to share your professional findings. We must rely on primary and secondary sources to build this encyclopedia. Cheers, Rkitko (talk) 21:50, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikimedia :)

Hi BrianAsh. You seem like one who would be interested in some of the other Wikimedia projects as well, so thought I'd drop you a note. For performing and collaborating on research projects, Wikiversity is the only project where that's fully acceptable (see, for example, the Bloom Clock, which is a research project). If part of your interest in writing about rain gardens will include how to install and maintain them, instructional (testbook) materials are hosted on Wikibooks (see. e.g., A Wikimanual of Gardening). Finally, for uploading images, Wikimedia Commons is generally the best place, since images uploaded there can be used on Wikipedia (in any language... there are many!), Wikibooks, Wikiversity, etc. (the only issue on commons is that they don't allow "free use", but if they're your images and you want to release them under GFDL, that works fine). Commons:Upload is designed to walk you through the process. I'm SB_Johnny on all of those projects as well, if you need assistance anywhere. Happy contributing! --SB_Johnny | talk 22:02, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
