Hello

Hi, and Welcome to Wikipedia! I saw your addition to Shady Grove (Washington Metro), and I would please ask you to read the citation guidelines. You include a page number, but a reference has not been inserted into the text. If there is no reference, then the material that you added may be removed. Again, Welcome. --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 21:14, 16 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, the indecent has been removed, but please feel free to add information if it is properly sourced (the reverter put a link to an article about the accident). --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 21:16, 16 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Great new pics!

Love the new pics of The Mall at Prince Georges and Prince George's Plaza (Washington Metro). Nice work!--Pubdog (talk) 23:03, 27 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

A shame that the photo of The Mall at Prince Georges was a copyright violation from labelscar.com. SchuminWeb (Talk) 01:55, 15 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Your Metro pics

edit

May I please be honest about your various Metro pics? They're somewhat low quality, and that's why they're being reverted. They're often overexposed, poorly framed, have weird lighting issues that make them unusable, or suffer from a dirty camera lens. There's only so much one can do with image editing software, after all. Please take more time in composing your photographs, clean your lens, and make your goal one of causing people to say, "Wow..." when they look at your pictures. If you continue to post low quality pictures, they are going to continue to get reverted.

Alternately, you may find that you shine most with text contributions. As long as your text contributions are well-sourced, they will make great additions to the encyclopedia. SchuminWeb (Talk) 06:07, 11 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Please stop adding your photos to articles until you respond to the above concerns. --Golbez (talk) 00:08, 13 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
Your text contributions appear to show some promise, though the Purple Line is nowhere near close enough to make it into the articles yet. Keep up the good work on the text contributions. I believe that while you may not be a super photographer, you may very well do your best work with the writing. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:33, 13 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:SiteplanCCApt.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:SiteplanCCApt.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 03:55, 18 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading File:Parkdale HS.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Replaceable fair use File:Parkdale HS.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Parkdale HS.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:24, 17 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
