Picture of the day
United States Capitol dome, 1846

A daguerreotype of the United States Capitol in 1846, with the original green copper dome as designed by Charles Bulfinch. Over time, extensions to both the north and south wings, made to accommodate the addition of new states to the Union, made the dome aesthetically displeasing, and as a result, it was replaced by a white cast iron dome which was completed in 1866.

Daguerreotype credit: John Plumbe

[edit] Adding an external link

I see that you have removed the external link to COLLAGE on the History of London entry. Can I ask why this is? As an online resource for history of london images, I thought that it was a valid addition to this section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.92.209.135 (talk) 11:35, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I removed it by accident. I've put it back now. G-Man ? 22:34, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] County Durham

Still around these days? I haven't seen you much. County Durham is going through some nonsense. I know you've got comparable experience (probably greater infact if I'm honest) about dealing with traditional boundaries nonsense. Thought you may want to pop over and pass comment. This one is really silly. -- Jza84 · (talk) 00:31, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

I am very offended by this: calling my edits "nonesense". You are clearly being incivil Jza84. Logoistic (talk) 00:41, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 18th century London

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of 18th century London, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: User:G-Man/works in progress. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 00:31, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Consolidation of articles

I'm looking at the articles listed in List of articles about local government in the United Kingdom. Some are very short or similar and I wonder if there are any you feel should be combined or amended in some way? (comments to: Talk:List of articles about local government in the United Kingdom).

[edit] Meetup

Hi there, I noticed you expressed interest in the Birmingham meetup last October. Just letting you know, another UK meetup is in planning stages, here. We need input on where and when we will meet so comments would be much appreciated. Thanks. Majorly (talk) 16:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notification of use of your image of Bury Heritage Railway

Hi, many thanks for making your image of Bury Heritage Railway station public domain. Thought you might like to know it will probably be used in the new enjoyEngland website launching soon. We are still at layout stage so I can't provide a link but it will probably appear in the 'Find your nearest tourist information centre' section in the entry for Bury. Nice photo.

[edit] Can I take your picture?

Hi, about Saddleworth Moor. Can I take it for free licence and put your user-profile at "Source"?? . I'm a member of the Spanish Wikipedia who want to create the article Saddlworth Moor in Spanish. Can I take your picture?. Many Thanks and forgive me if you're busy. I'm really grateful. Greetings from Argentina.Frankedjsjs (talk) 14:44, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

By all means, it's on commons anyway, so you don't need to copy it onto the Spanish wikipedia. G-Man ? 21:13, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please

Try to be so kind to explain me what seems wrong to you with my edits on Anthony Eden's article. The stuff I have added was entirely absent although it is both well documented and relevant. Sure, it is important to have the article written down in a terse and good English (and I am glad that you are helping to that effect). It might be the case, as well, to wonder why there was no mention at all of a part of History that seems to me very important, and why there should be not the slightest reference to it in the introduction. As you might have realised, English is not my mother tongue: therefore - even though it might sound a blasphemy to you - I am proud of the work I have done, as I am under the impression, so to speak, that is not that bad as it seems to seem to you ;-), after all. Thanks in advance for your kind help. --Piero Montesacro (talk) 02:23, 29 January 2008 (UTC)


A tag has been placed on Gallery of Warwickshire images, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

[edit] coolhawks88

Do you agree to coolhawks88 putting your photograph of Stanford Hall on Flickr and claiming it as her own photograph? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.37.4.153 (talk) 00:57, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Clement Attlee image

Hmm it's hard to say. Normally it would be fine, but I note "Copyright restrictions may apply" here. Perhaps you should enquire to see if there are any. Timeshift (talk) 07:08, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Interview

I am trying to find a wikipedia administrator who would readily do an interview for a research project I am conducting from the perspective of a wikipedia insider.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Tile Hill train 450.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Tile Hill train 450.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
