Your recent uploads :)

Hi. I noticed that you have uploaded a number of photographs today around an event that could possibly be considered newsworthy. It would be fantastic to see these pictures used on a WMF project.

I would like to extend an invitation to you to visit English Wikinews and include these articles in a photo essay. Examples of published photo essays you can use as a model can be found in the photo essays category.

English Wikinews allows original reporting, which means you can write about the event you attended where you took the photographs. This would allow you to get 5 to 20 of your newly uploaded photographs used in one place right away.

You can also submit photo essays on Spanish Wikinews (writing guide, example), Polish Wikinews and Russian Wikinews. You may also be able to submit photo essays to German Wikinews, Hebrew Wikinews, Norwegian Wikinews, Farsi Wikinews, Portuguese Wikinews and Japanese Wikinews.

Feel free to contact me on my Commons or my English Wikinews talk page if you have any questions, or if I can be of further assistance.
