OK to use your image on a railway wiki? edit

Hi there Kmw2700. Would it be Ok with you if we used your shot of the Halifax and Southwestern tracks on a wiki site about this railway: http://hswdpi.ca/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page If so, how would you like to be credited? Letterofmarque (talk) 02:02, 17 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi Letterofmarque, this is absolutly OK. You could credit me with KMW2700 - that would be fine. If you like I can offer you also some other pictures of the tracks there and two of a tiny stone and wood railway bridge in that area. Regards, --Kmw2700 (talk) 16:06, 17 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
Great! Thank you very much. I have added them to the H&SW wiki page here: http://hswdpi.ca/wiki/index.php?title=File:Unused_tracks_west_Halifax-NS.JPG and linked them to the page about that section of track which was called Summit: http://hswdpi.ca/wiki/index.php?title=Summit . Thank you for capturing this last glimpse of the Halifax and Southwestern. Do you have any shots near Beechville or Bayers Lake?Letterofmarque (talk) 16:42, 22 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I have. I uploaded the files to this web platform called rapidshare. In the .zip file I have also included a brief description of the pictures. You can download them by clicking on this link and then scrolling down to the bottom right side and click on the button - you have to wait a short time then you can download them right there.

Thanks again. I did the download and have started to add them to the Summit and Beechville pages on the HSWDPI wiki.Letterofmarque (talk) 01:08, 2 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]
