[edit] Thank you!

For uploading a really decent image of the Many Glacier Hotel and adding it to the article. Much appreciated.--MONGO 20:09, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Angel glacier mt edith cavell.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Angel glacier mt edith cavell.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 19:05, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Commons

Hi, when uploading images, you might wish to upload free images you made to Commons, instead of directly to English Wikipedia. This makes them directly useable in English Wikipedia, and all version of Wikipedia, and other WikiMedia projects. It also allows showing images in a gallery, beyond what's supported in article. For instance, you could add Image:Summerstock footloose 02.jpg to Commons:Summerstock Conservatory, which is linked to from the main article. Or somebody could make a French language version of the article, and share the pictures. Anyhow, this is just a suggestion. --Rob 01:34, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fagus

Many thanks for the Fagus factory images - they're great! --Mcginnly | Natter 14:34, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Reqphoto on Talk:Alfeld

Sorry, I thought I had deactivated the tag when I left that comment. I've corrected the page. Cheers. --MZMcBride 22:53, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GeoGroupTemplate

Hi there, that GeoGroupTemplate is really useful - rather than just add it to a couple of the requested photograph pages, what about adding it to {{Howtoreqphotoin}} so that it appears on the lot of them? I'll do that now - if it looks like I'm reverting you on category pages it'll just be where I'm pulling off the template where it's now appearing as a duplicate... hope that makes sense?

[edit] Hard-earned and well-deserved

The Working Man's Barnstar
For the thankless task of re-ordering the entire set of Wikipedia:Requested pictures pages, I hereby award you the Order of the True Grafter. And some thanks, of course ;) Well done! mikaultalk 11:19, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stevenage

Just wanted to say thanks for taking some photos of Stevenage. I wanted to (and it would be easy as I live there), but I don't own a camera. Did you come on a Sunday? It's a shame, because the place looks empty and it's not typical. A busy Saturday afternoon would have been better! You'll have to come back! anemone|projectors 23:03, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments on the photographs. They were taken just after sun-rise during the week. The intention was to take photos of the buildings without people but I do agree with you they need to be complemented by images of a living town. I will keep it in mind, but it may be some time before I am in that part of the world again, particularly during shopping hours.

I guessed it was either early morning or a Sunday. Maybe I'll buy myself a decent camera and take some photos myself. anemone|projectors 11:56, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] UKCOUNTIES?

Hello Traveler100/archive! I Hope all is well. I'm contacting you as part of your continued membership of WP:UK Geography.

In addition to some cosmetic upgrades I've made/requested for the project, I'm considering a draft upgrade of the Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about counties guide, so that it is much more user friendly and at a standard more akin to the WP:UKCITIES standard.

Of course I'd like to have you involved from the start. If you have any concerns or ideas, I'd be grateful if you could leave them at my talk page, where I'll pool together some ideas from some other users and then report back with them. My initial thoughts are they should inline with the existing policy on counties as well as allow for flexibility for ENG/SCO/WLS/NI. Hope you can help, -- Jza84 · (talk) 22:18, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] acequia

I left the reqphoto quite vague because I came across the word 'majordomo' in Henry James's 1875 novel [Roderick Hudson]], and I wasn't sure if he meant someone who looks after a canal/acequia. And the character who has a majordomo is American...Zigzig20s (talk) 18:11, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] reqphoto

I sometimes do, for places mostly.Zigzig20s (talk) 14:53, 29 December 2007 (UTC)


I'd love to put in locations for the photoreq, but I can't figure out what the tag is for the District of Columbia Einbierbitte (talk) 17:51, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
