Sorry about that, I'm still learning how to do this :( Please feel free to delete it then.

It's OK, I did ;). If you want some advice about whether or not you can use an image, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Note that you should assume by default that stuff is copyrighted, not that it isn't. Copyrighted stuff can still be used/uploaded here under the fair use guidelines. pfctdayelise (translate?) 13:11, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tenses

Hello,

Creative works "are" not "were", unless they no longer exist. For example: you would not refer to the Mona Lisa as "was a painting", because it clearly "is a painting".

Take care, Matthew 08:49, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
