If they are your own photos, just upload them with {{PD}} in the description text.

[edit] To: Editor named Spiesr

Hello,

I would like to ask why it is that you removed the external links for CyArk on various Wikipedia pages, including Deadwood and Salvador De Bahia. Cyark is a nonprofit hi-definition heritage network employing 3D laser scanning at UNESCO sites worldwide for educational purposes, and has partnerships with prominent University and national institutions worldwide including UC Berkeley in California, University of Ferrara in Italy, ITABC, American Museum of Natural History, etc. (please see http://archive.cyark.org/partners.php for a complete list). It is a legitimate, noncommercial, archival site with a tremendous amount of information that could benefit those seeking further information on endangered sites. As a UC Berkeley graduate and a CyArk intern, I have taken it upon myself to provide wikipedia links because I believe the organization's mission is appropriate to an encyclopedic setting, and not simply an advertisement - there is nothing to sell, and the images are under creative commons licenses.

I would very much like an explanation for your cursory edits, particularly as you left links such as this one: http://www.marcioguide.com/ (under the heading "Salvador Bahia") which is an advertising page for a taxi operator. Did you even look at the CyArk site? I feel that hasty actions such as yours in this matter continue to endanger the legitimacy of Wikipedia as a site that is taken seriously by the academic community. Thanks, I look forward to your explanation. Please note that this (and similar) responses were written by me as an individual on my own computer on my own time, and do not reflect official policy of CyArk or its affiliates.

[edit] The city's name

Is the city's name really São Salvador da Baía? Or da Bahía? 85.172.7.234 06:56, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fonte Nova stadium

This stadium is currently closed and will be demolished because of an accident that killed 7 people in 2007. Worth mentioning in the sports section? 200.150.62.3 (talk) 19:25, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
