[edit] Skateboard picture

Pretty good picture, is there any way for you, as the author, to upload it without a logo? It would look a lot better. --Liface 18:51, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, do not add that image to the article again. I've already warned you once about attempting to use Wikipedia to promote your web site. Consider this a second warning. --GraemeL (talk) 18:54, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Warning noted, but just so you know it was not a promotional scheme it is the only image I have of an updated skateboard that's not from the early 90's. I had no way to remove the logo.

Ah, OK. Sorry for the heavy tone then. My mistake for making assumptions and I apologise. --GraemeL (talk) 18:58, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I will try to find one without a logo, If I have to take a photo of my own board I will.BuildARamp 19:01, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Skateboarding ramp

Yes, I do skateboard, and I've had a hand in just about all the skateboarding articles on this site. The "guide" you're writing is unencylopedic. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a guide for doing things. You might want to check out the policies WP:NOR, as well as WP:NOT. If you would like to publish your "how-to" guide elsewhere, you might want to check out Wikihow and Wikibooks. --Liface 19:24, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Personal attacks

I would also advise you to avoid personal attacks in the future. A personal attack can mean an immediate and permanent block from Wikipedia. --Liface 19:28, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
