Images
Please take a moment to read the image use policy. All images uploaded to MA need a proper image licensing template as well as citations. Images without an image licensing template or citation will be removed from articles and are subject to deletion. - 23:14, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

As I said on my talk page in response to your post, upload any further images to the same file name, not different ones. Also, again, images must have the requirements listed above to be in articles. If you need help with this, ask, don't just ignore it and continue. - 23:39, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

First, please keep all communication on site, especially if the instructions are "read and respond on your talk page." Second, use punctuation. Third, no one here wants to have to follow another user around and clean up after them, but everyone here is willing to help you get to a point where we don't have to, but you need to respond to your talk page and read the policies if you are requested to do so. That said, images are the worst place to start contributing, since they require information and formatting to be used that most new users won't know about. Do not take talk page posts as an indication that people are angry at you, just that you're doing something wrong and we would like you to learn how to do it correctly. - 22:53, July 12, 2011 (UTC)
