Photos edit

I took a bunch of photos today at the annual Memorial Day observance. I'd appreciate feedback as to which would be best to add to this article. Permission is granted to temporarily copy photos for purposes of proposing edited copies, and of course once we agree on which one, I'll grant a general license on that one.

It's a bit hard to select a photo without seeing the site and knowing what's there, but a couple of rules of thumb I use might help. 1st, NRHP photos should be about the site, rather than about living people. So, e.g. photos 14-16 are mostly about people, so probably should not be used. 2nd, "the main feature" should be shown. Taking the main features to be the big stone, the fence, and maybe the house and the sign on the gate, photo 12 seems to have all of those. There are lots of people in it too, but they are clearly NOT the point of the photo. I'd probably crop out the top of the car on the bottom left, which might mean taking out the woman in the red/pink blouse. I'll download it and see what comes out.

  Is that the largest size available. If that is not the license you intended, please ask for the photo to be deleted. I don't think it's possible to ask for a "temporary license." Smallbones (talk) 03:32, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the comments. I appreciate the comment about site vs living people, but where a site is in active use in some fashion, I believe it's important to document that as well. So I've selected a picture which shows both. I'm also adding some information about current use of the site. Matchups 12:49, 14 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
