[edit] Photograph

Hi! I see you have requested a photograph. I have two suitable ones which I am able to send to an e-mail address using my somewhat limited computer expertise. Perhaps you could let me know a suitable e-mail address for sending (mine is crypticcrosswords@hotmail.com). One is a photograph taken on my 70th birthday (this was used in the BBC News article "Tales from a cryptic crossworder" mentioned as a source in the article). Taken by my wife with my camera. This shot is also available on Google Images - the background of a crossword was added by the BBC but the reporter was happy to give me copyright to use the photograph with this background. You should be able to download it via Google Images - I give full permission! The other photograph was taken between May 15th and 17th 2007, again by my wife using my camera, showing me holding the Guinness Records Certificate for the publication of my 2 millionth clue in the Daily Telegraph of May 14th. Thanks for organising the article! I should be delighted to send the photographs in full format once I receive an e-mail address. With many thanks again!

Many days later and my daughter and I have tried to upload the photographs requested. One comes out small, the other big. Perhaps, as you put this article together from various sources you could improve it! Best wishes! Roger

Have tried repeatedly to add captions to no avail. Large photo should be "Roger Squuires 2005", smaller photo "With Guinness Records Certificate for his two millionth clue, May 2007" Best wishes Roger 86.152.71.198 10:11, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I have moved and captioned the smaller picture. I thought the large one was too large - we could put a thumbnail of it here, but it is not very different from the other picture, is it?

It is important that Roger clicks on the surviving picture and then on the picture's own page replaces the warning message with {{PD-self}} (or one of the other acceptable licensing statements). Otherwise it will be deleted.Grafen 12:00, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blanking this page

Please do not blank this page since it makes it harder for other editors to follow what has been discussed. TerriersFan 14:30, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

I have added some extra pieces of information to your original article but parts of them have been wrongly repeated alongside the existing references beneath. How do I get rid of these extraneous words in the Reference section? Roger Squires
