I did not revert your reversion. If you answer just below this message, it will appear on my watchlist and I will see the answer. Many photos that are posted for commercial purposes or by businesses are indeed free to view (though maybe not to purchase or reuse, which is a separate issue). My choice of "private" was unfortunate, as I meant "personal", which is a bit different. Wikipedia is not a linking mechanism to personal or commercial photos. Rather, people are encouraged to upload photos with appropriate licensing to WikiMedia Commons and then either embed them in the article or have them available for viewing through a commons link in the article. WP:EL explains appropriate items to link in an External links section. WP:NOT and WP:IS will give some additional information on what should and should not be included in Wikipedia articles. If you want to upload some photos that you took yourself, you are welcome to do so, and I can probably help point you in the right direction if you need help with this. WikiMedia requires photos to be licensed using one of several free licenses, so that they can be reused. Don Lammers (talk) 22:29, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
