Thank you very much for the tip about the vandalizing school IP. I've blocked it for 6 months. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Thanks for your email, and sorry it's taken me a while to get round to answering. I think screenshots from Google Street View would infringe copyright, so you shouldn't use those. I'm not a lawyer, so nothing I say is authoritative, but I'm pretty sure that photographs you take yourself should be OK under US copyright law. The wiki that you mention is almost certainly not a reliable source, so although you may find it a useful way of finding information, you should then try to get confirmation from a more reliable source if you intend to post that information to Wikipedia. You ask "would it just be better to have the text now or wait until I have taken a picture?" Provided you can provide a citation to a reliable source, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't post he text without waiting for the pictures, but that's a decision for you to make.
I'm probably not one of the best people to answer questions of this kind, so if you want to ask for more help you may find it helpful to make the question available to a wider range of editors. If so I would suggest trying [[Wikipedia:Help desk]]. Alternatively you could post a question on this page, putting {{helpme}} at the top of your message, to attract editors to the page. It is best to use Wikipedia's email facility only when you have to say something which needs to be kept confidential, which certainly isn't so in this case. JBW (talk) 16:05, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
