Very nice images, consider using Wikicommons

Hello and welcome, Mbz1. I noticed the image you added to Mirage and looked at some of your other images. They are very nice and show some great examples of unusual atmospheric optics. You may want to consider uploading them to the Wikimedia Commons where they can easily be used by wikipedias in other languages. I had uploaded a fairly large number of images here before somebody pointed that out... It was a bit of a pain to transfer them over, compared to simply uploading them to the commons to begin with. Here's a help page for moving ones already here. Images uploaded to the commons can be used by name as if they were on the EN wikipedia. I also recommend using a commons account name which is the same as your account here. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on my talk page. --Dfred 13:59, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, glad to hear you're using the commons. And you did reply in the "right" place. Some people do choose to put a note on their own talk pages indicating they will reply locally rather than on the other person's talk page. --Dfred 12:28, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Vandalism

IP Vandals are simply anonymous users that decide to disruptivly edit wikipedia. Handling them isn't different from handling any other vandal - the instructions can be found at WP:VAN. There's also a large quantity of templates you can use to warn users, found at WP:UTM.

If some IP Vandals are giving a bit of trouble, you can either request page protection or report them to the administrators. --Sigma 7 01:56, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

re: toy dog revision

You're right, it wasn't vandalism. It wasn't appropriate for that article, so I removed it. But I shouldn't have called it vandalism. Jerazol 16:34, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Image removal

Howdy, I noticed that you've been removing images from a number of articles. I was rather curious what the reason for this was. Thanks, --TeaDrinker 18:36, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Solar eclipse picture

You're probably going to delete this anyway, but I just wanted to let you know that I regret you taking such offense and removing all those great images just because astronomers don't like artistic, unreal looking composites in a scientific article... Nick Mks 18:38, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
