Boston Thompson's Flour Mill.jpg

Hi, 46percent! I've been checking out your work with NRHP photos in Linn County, and it's pretty cool - keep it up! However, I do have a concern about File:Boston Thompson's Flour Mill.jpg, which appears pretty similar to some OPRD photos I've seen in the past. The information you provided with the photo is not sufficient for Commons requirements, and will probably be deleted if the info isn't filled out. I hope you'll check out my detailed concerns here, and do what you can (since you're the only one who can). Please don't take this as a criticism of your overall work, because you do some great stuff. Once again, keep it up! — Werewombat (talk) 16:58, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

BTW, you might notice that I've been adjusting your category assignments for the photos that you've uploaded. Let me know if you're interested in the logic behind what I'm doing. — Werewombat (talk) 16:58, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
