Pics wanted: If anyone can help, I would like someone to ask for permission to use the following pics from flikr:

I have no luck when asking for pics, so if someone who has better luck can ask, it would be much appreciated.  JLG  27  01  21:27, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

 * I asked on all 4 flickr contributors. Check out how I ask - very polite and no pressure. I usually look to see if a contributor was active on flickr lately because some people don't see the messages because they never go back.  Royal broil  22:05, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * If by chance you get some or all of the pics, can you put them where I put the ones I got? I uploaded them to commons under Category:Tractor Pulling. Thanks!!  JLG   27  01  21:36, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know about the Commons category so I don't have to waste time looking for how to classify it. IMG 1287 is secured, and I'm sure that IMG 1262 will follow. I got a verbal agreement on the first and last pictures in the second group, but the flickr photographer needs to change the license to the exact license that he wants. What should these pictures be named, especially the 2 pictures that start with IMG?  Royal broil  05:51, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

(Deindent) About the only time I NAME name a pic, is if the name of the vehicle is very prominant, or if it's one I happen to know about personally. Here's what I'd name them:
 * 1262 - Red Minirod
 * 1287 - Yellow Minirod
 * 5715 - Yellow KW Puller
 * 5716 - Flamed Pete Puller
 * Centerville..... - Red T-Bucket
 * Fergus..... - Dr Hook
 * TruckPull 08 - Red T-Bucket2

On #5715, I know the name of this truck...but I can't think of it off the top of my head. I think it's Madame Butterfly, or something along those lines. I'd know it if I wasn't looking at it.

BTW,  NICE  avatar on your Flikr account!!!  JLG  27  01  18:06, 16 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Ah-Ha!!! I found it on NTPA's points page.  The truck's name is "Lady Butterfly." You could name it "Lady Butterfly pulling".  JLG   27  01  18:12, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I added the first 2 pics. I'm glad you enjoy my flickr avatar! I just changed it to this Legends car with cool flames and a checkered victory flag.  Royal broil  05:13, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * AS of right now, all that is needed on my ITPA page is 2 of the pix that are listed here. I'm needing pix of a 2wd truck, and a semi, both of which are in the last 5 pics on the list.  With those, I can basically call the editing done on both the ITPA, and the NTPA pages....I'll just have to find more references.  If I can catch Steve Bollinger (driver of the Money Pit (see Image:Money Pits triple Allisons.jpg), and a former neighbor of mine), I might be able to borrow his rules books, and maybe a pulling magazine or 2.  I've pretty much picked Flikr clean of By- and By-SA pix that have to do with pulling in the US.  JLG   27  01  20:47, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Odds are none of these pictures will be obtained. I would go ahead and publish the ITPA article, and I would be pleasantly surprised if we did get the pics. Great job on the articles!  Royal broil  12:30, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank-you! I really enjoy writing about things I am involved with.  Unfortunately, it's hard sometimes to find references to back-up what I have lived.  Hopefully, we can obtain the needed pix to finish the articles.  Thanks for the help!!!!  JLG   27  01  19:30, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
