Image use

 * RE: Image:USS Enterprise-B in drydock.jpg, I just wanted to point out to you to "please bear in mind that not everyone has a broadband internet connection. A considerable number of people have 56kbps modems or slower connections than that. Images stored in an article should generally be kept below 70 kilobytes in size, and 35 kilobytes or smaller is even better. Larger images are okay to use as a link, but please warn people that the image is larger." In the case of the image you uploaed, 255 kilobytes is about 4 to 8 times larger than necessary. I have reduced the size of the image accordingly. Thanks. --Alan del Beccio 20:23, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, please note our image desciption help page on how to describe and cite the image, and as well the use of the proper copyright tags --Alan del Beccio 21:00, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
