I DON'T ARCHIVE MY OLD STUFF ANY MORE, IT'S ALL THERE IN THE HISTORY, SO JUST SELECT PAGE HISTORY AND THEN CLICK THE 15.30 27 JANUARY 2005 DATE.

Dear Adrian

Your picture of an Allard car is very nice, but it is incorrectly labelled. It is actually a P-type (also known as a P1) saloon. I edited the description, but was unable to change the title of the picture on the main Allard page. I am new to Wikipedia, so I hope that I haven't breached any etiquette by doing so. Kind regards, Marcus Allard

Marcus, you got it absolutely right (etiquette-wise) because you let me know the problem and what changes you had made. To change the pic caption (or make any other edit) in an article is easy, just go to the article, click on Edit page, make the change to the article, check it looks OK with Show preview, if OK click on Save page. Don't forget to say in the Edit summary what you did. Best Wishes, Adrian - Adrian Pingstone 08:50, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I was going to move some of your images to Wikimedia Commons (of Bristol, as it happens). I would, however, be credited as the uploader - though I would, of course, credit you as the photographer and original uploader to Wikipedia. For this reason, I am asking you whether you would prefer to reupload your pictures to Commons yourself? You being credited as the uploader would not be the only advantage - you could also upload high-resolution versions of images already uploaded as 750px. PLease give me any opinions/feedback. --Oldak Quill 17:55, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I have been removing the resize warnings you have been adding to some of your images. If the resize links are generated in error (they aren't for me) then this is a minor bug with MediaWiki, and something that should be taken up on http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org. As the image will be cached locally by the user's browser, clicking on the download link will not waste any of their time or wikipedia bandwidth, so all we are doing is setting up the task of having to remove all these messages at a later date! ed g2s • talk 15:30, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

You mention that you compress to 300k on rhaworth's talk page to be kind to 56k users. Surely if they need the image at the giant size then it's acceptable to wait a bit longer? Probably doesn't matter really.

Oh, and are you using commons now? Not a plug, friendly curiosity from someone who's trying to take more photos :) --BesigedB ^(talk) 17:27, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

From now on I will be uploading my pics to the Commons, as suggested by the three Wikipedians above. My only dislike of the Commons is that the reader has to do a mouse click to read the Image Description instead of reading the pic info directly under the pic. So I will be adding my Public Domain copyright notice and my image description straight under the pic i.e. no mouse click needed. You'll see what I mean from my first two pics on Commons at Nissan Primera and Nissan Skyline Will someone let me know if this direct adding of image data is unacceptable (or unwise) Cheers! - Adrian Pingstone 18:36, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Please forgive my stupidity. Is the lightning the aircraft at the top of the picture? The caption isn't particularly clear. 62.252.32.13 22:58, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I've altered the caption to make it clear that both aircraft are Lightnings - Adrian Pingstone 23:14, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I seem to be cocking this one up in every way. I'd seen this on other disambiguation pages, and thought I'd follow suit. It certainly looks tidier your way. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 23:18, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Hi Adrian,

Just to let you know that your photo Image:Bald.eagle.closeup.arp-sh.750pix.jpg is coming up for Pic of the Day again on the 17th Feb. I've reused the caption from last time, but you can make any corrections at Wikipedia:Picture of the day/February 17, 2005. -- Solipsist 06:53, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I would like to use Image:Crab.nebula.arp.750pix.jpg under the CC-By-SA-2 licence. Are you the copyright owner? Can you relicense this photo? I will use it on my site. Thanks, answer to my talk page. It's a great pic. NSK 02:35, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
