Image uploads
If you are simply replacing existing images, as you did here, it would be best if you used the existing file name and uploading the new file over the old file. That way the image file information will contain the correct information, there won't be any hassels dealing with the images you just orphaned, like posting it for deletion and such.

 * So... completely ignoring this comment are you? Yes? It does look that way. -- sulfur 00:43, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Right. So, stop orphaning images.  As Alan said, if you're going to upload stuff here, it must follow our image use policy.  Your images do not.  You are also orphaning images that do.  Respond here as to why you are taking this approach or else face a block until you do. -- sulfur 00:50, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I thought you meant in the future to do it that way. I'll try to fix it. Jecowa 01:16, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * You may also want to fix the licensing on the images now that you're updating them. Especially since they're no longer solely the work of Mike. Working on a wiki is more than just uploading the images and being done with it.  You also have to ensure that the images match up with the licensing and citations. :) -- sulfur 01:37, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
