Wikipedia:Wikimedia Commons

Hi. I contacted you about uploading your images to the Wikimedia Commons but I'm not sure if you saw my message or not. Please read the above link and consider the advantages and benefits of creating an account to upload your images to Wikimedia Commons so that all the multilingual projects can use them. Thanks. —Viriditas | Talk 11:34, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. Are you still on Kauai? If so, we could really use some photos on the Hawaii project. I'll try and place them in Category:Kauai. —Viriditas | Talk 22:32, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm just looking to add photos to the articles within that category - nothing in particular, although historical, archaeological, and cultural sites would be highly regarded. Thanks for your hard work. —Viriditas | Talk 00:29, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm putting a list together for you right now. —Viriditas | Talk 08:53, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I'll add the list to a sub-page of WikiProject Hawaii; ideally I want to tag all the articles needing images from Kauai. One thing that could help is any images of agriculture and food for placement in Cuisine of Hawaii. This includes, sugarcane, pineapple, watermelon, and other fields that one finds in Kauai. It would be very helpful if you could also capture images of distinctive local and regional cuisine only found in Hawaii/Kauai; For example (and these are just examples, anything will do) an image of the storefront or vegan dish at Blossoming Lotus in Kapa'a, saimin from Hamura's Saimin in Lihue, chocolate cake with haupia or coconut custard at the Beach House Restaurant in Poipu, etc. Let me know if you already have such images or if acquiring them is possible. Basically, anything having to do with food in Hawaii would be great, from fine dining to local food. Thanks for your patience. —Viriditas | Talk 12:22, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Invitation

Aloha! You look like someone who might be interested in joining the Hawaii WikiProject and so I thought I'd drop you a line and invite you! We'd love to have you help us :-) —Viriditas | Talk 01:27, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Arthur Ravenel Bridge

Yes, the Ravenel Bridge has a twelve-foot wide lane for bicycles and pedestrians (separated from vehicles by a concrete barrier). It overlooks the harbor and you can see the ocean from there too (the ocean is about five miles away). This is a good picture of people walking in the bike/ped lane. The stripe provides the separation between bikers and walkers. Walkers keep toward the white railing; bikers keep toward the concrete traffic barrier. Each may cross the line as needed to pass others going in either the same or the opposite direction. - SCgatorFan (talk) 21:47, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

On 30 August, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Craig D. Button, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Image tagging for File:MapOfTutuila-American-Samoa.png

Thanks for uploading File:MapOfTutuila-American-Samoa.png. 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.

Image Acknowledgment Request

Hello, I would like to use your image of the virgin Mary appearing on the side of a building, from the Perceptions of Religious Imagery in Natural Phenomena page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptions_of_religious_imagery_in_natural_phenomena (This image: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Virgin_Mary_in_Glass.jpg).

This is for a non-commercial, free educational module concerning the topic of pareidolia for students and teachers, that will be available in on-line pdf and print versions. The module explains how the human brain processes visual information and detects faces or other familiar images in patterns and objects.

If this is okay, please let me know how to credit you in the publication.

Thanks for your comment (which I am about to respond to). But you forgot to sign it (with four twiddles); perhaps you could just add these now, unless someone better than I knows how to do it "properly". Imaginatorium (talk) 07:19, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Polihale tourist.jpg

The file File:Polihale tourist.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused picture of unidentified and presumably non-notable person

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
