[edit] Welcome from a fellow photographer.
I just saw your image contributions to the Reston, Virginia article. Thank you! I googled your name and was about to email you to make sure we had your authorization to use the images, but then I noticed the match between your flickr account and your username...
In the future, it's better if your upload pictures to Wikipedia to Wikimedia Commons. You create an account there and upload just like you do here. You then put the images in the article exactly like you put an image in that you uploaded to Wikipedia: [[Image:filename.jpg|.... The advantage of uploading to commons is that your image can be used in any of the hundreds of languages of Wikipedia without additional effort. (For example, the German version of the article which currently has no pictures).
If you don't want to go through the trouble of uploading to commons, someone (perhaps me) will eventually move your work over. So don't worry about it too much. In any case, have fun.. and if you have any questions please feel free to ask me. I hope you stay for a while and submit many useful photographs, we certainly need them. --Gmaxwell 21:13, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] SLHS demographics
It could be rounding error, you know. --Howdybob 23:20, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RTC Photo
I personally like the lighting and angle better because it shows off more of the beauty and architecture of the buildings. I do not see the lampost as clutter, but rather as a sign of perspective.
I like your style and enjoy viewing your photography very much, but I think my photo would be better for a wikipedia article than yours.
Your other photos are excellent, however, and I think you should contribute even more to wikipedia because your style is very appealing. :-) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gplpark92 (talk • contribs) 02:03, 16 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Posting to talk pages
I moved your new-topic post in Talk:Reston, Virginia to the bottom of the page. Wikipedia discussions flow from top to bottom, not bottom to top. If you use the "post a comment" link (the "+" tab to the right of "edit this page") when creating a new topic, your post will be automatically added to the bottom, and you can provide an edit summary in the "subject/headline" input box just above the edit text window. (You should always give a few-word description of what any edit is about, to make it easier for people reviewing page changes to see what is happening with a page. For any edits except new-topic posts to talk pages, the edit summary input box is just below the edit window.)
More guidelines on working with talk pages can be found at Wikipedia:Talk page. I hope you find this information useful. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:45, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
