Obama picture
Hi. I see that you've been trying to change the main photograph on Barack Obama. I like the Capitol photo too, but unfortunately we can't use it, because it's copyrighted. Please see Question #17 on Talk:Barack Obama/FAQ.
Additionally, you may not be aware of the three-revert rule, a Wikipedia policy designed to prevent edit warring. When an edit you make is reverted, it's usually best to check the article's history and talk page, to see if there's a reason for the reversion; if you can't find a reason, it's usually best to put a note on the article's talk page. Violating the 3RR can result in being blocked. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:29, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
