Reverting a revert is discouraged without discussion on a talk page. - Denimadept (talk) 23:18, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You'll be reverted if you don't discuss it first. - Denimadept (talk) 23:21, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I blanked the page because I don't want messages here. I prefer to be emailed at mawong31@gmail.com. Thank You. 64.222.151.83 (talk) 23:22, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't your personal page. If you want a personal page, register an account. - Denimadept (talk) 23:23, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am the only one editing from this IP address as it is unique to my device, and so yes, it practiclly is my own page. However, please e-mail me at mawong31@gmail.com with any questions or comments rather than posting messages here. Thank You. 64.222.151.83 (talk) 23:26, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No. Messages posted here are documentation. If I send notes elsewhere, admins can't see them. If I post them here, they can. It's important. And it's only specific to your device until the DHCP lease expires. - Denimadept (talk) 23:27, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What on earth is the DHCP lease? 64.222.151.83 (talk) 23:29, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

DHCP is what assigns an IP address to your device. The assignment only lasts so long, then it expires. Your service provider runs the DHCP server, so it's invisible to you. But it might not assign this address next time. Or it might. No way to say. For more, see DHCP. - Denimadept (talk) 23:31, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

On another topic, why do you keep reverting that picture? The new one makes the bridge look so small and hard to see. - Denimadept (talk) 23:36, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am reverting the picture because I believe that complete side view pictures are better because you can see the entire bridge, while you can only see part of it in a close-up picture. 64.222.151.83 (talk) 23:52, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, that's helpful to know. Let me ask this. Wouldn't it be better to do the "side view" image rather larger? Not so much in the infobox, but in the main article? Let me demonstrate.
Panoramic view of the Kingston–Rhinecliff Bridge
Note that a crop of this image would be better, and adding the left side of the bridge even more so. Then you can add the image toward the end of the article and both images will be available. As it is, an admin appears to have deleted your most recent reversion. If this side-view image did in fact show the whole bridge, it'd be a better argument for using it. The {{wide image}} template is usually used for rather wide images, which this really isn't. Can you provide a full-width image, cropped down to show not so much water and sky? - Denimadept (talk) 00:13, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would love to do that but I do not have editing tools needed to crop an image on my device. 64.222.151.83 (talk) 00:30, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I do. Do you have the rest of the bridge in another image? I could align them and crop the results, then update this image. - Denimadept (talk) 00:42, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I do have the full span in another image. Where should I place the image? 64.222.151.83 (talk) 00:57, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please upload it to Commons and post the link here. I'll check it out when I get home after work. - Denimadept (talk) 01:02, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My Web Broswer is being blocked in a few minutes for routine maintenance, and I will be going to bed before it is complete most likely. I don't know where you are from, but where I live it is currently 9:23 P.M. I will have to continue this over the weekend. Check back here throughout the day tomorrow and Sunday and I should have a link to the file by Sunday. 64.222.151.83 (talk) 01:24, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okie dokie. - Denimadept (talk) 02:51, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just got a break from my other work and so here is the other image.. (Note: My IP address seems to have changed but I promise that I am the same user).
