Great photos! With those, Wikipedia visitors won't have to stare at the words of those articles and try to squeeze an imagined picture in their brains -- which may leads to misleading result. :-) |

Hello Aion, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. You can learn more on the how to edit page. The naming conventions and manual of style pages are also useful. Feel free to experiment at the Wikipedia:Sandbox. If you have any questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. Angela
Thanks for the welcome! -Aion

Were you the professional photographer of Kauai 1.jpg? Aerial photos are excellent for WP geographical articles.
Welcome again (Yep, rare good photographers deserve a welcome twice).

Hi, Aion. It looks like you added St. Barbara to the List of saints article, but indicated that none of the churches we have listed consider her a saint? Was this a typo? If no one ranks her among the saints, she should be removed from that page, shouldn't she? Wesley 16:37 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- I did a tiny bit more research; Google turned up http://www.saintbarbara.org/about/frp_stbarb.html; between that and the link at the bottom to their archbishop's comments, it seems clear that the Greek Orthodox honor her as a saint; I found mention of her as a saint on some Coptic web sites as well, so I'm going to check the Greek and Ethiopian columns for her. She does have a great story! Wesley 16:20 2 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Gray Whale Ranch very detailed. :-) You can also name the external links (maybe a short desc if the title is unclear as is), so the reader don't have to go to all sites. --Menchi 21:55 13 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Hi. I added a note to Image:Manila646 1899.jpg and added the image to the Philippine-American War article. Nice images, thanks for uploading them! -- Infrogmation 18:33, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Would you be interested in attending an L.A.-area Wiki meetup?
It appears as though L.A. has never had a Wiki meetup. Would you be interested in attending such an event? If so, checkout User:Eric Shalov/Wikimeetup

Hi, Aion. I'm not sure if you are still active in Wikipedia. I noticed that the copyright of this image is held by John T. Alfors, but you listed it as GFDL. Are you John Alfors? Alternatively, did you get permission from Mr. Alfors to release his photo via GFDL?
Please let me know on my Talk page. Thanks! -- hike395 04:46, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks, Aion! I just uploaded the photo to Commons (Commons:Mt Shasta from CA89.jpg). If you have Lake Tahoe images, feel free to upload them yourself and add them to Commons:Lake Tahoe. Thanks again! -- hike395 06:37, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
