Please do not add images to articles unless they add significantly to the value of the article. All the images that you have added are by Lewis Ronald which I assume is your alter ego. Adding one own images without the consensus of other editors is not good practice in Wikipedia unless there is clearly a need for an image or a new image. Please exercise care before adding any further images. Thank you.  Velella  Velella Talk 14:19, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia! Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent uploads, such as the file you uploaded at Necktie, did not appear to be constructive and has been or soon will be deleted. Please read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.  Velella  Velella Talk 14:44, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate images to Wikipedia, as you did to Toilet paper; it is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.  Velella  Velella Talk 14:46, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

PLEASE before adding any more unsatisfactory images, please stop. Most, if not all your images included a hand or an arm (probably yours) which greatly detracts from the image, even if it wasn't replacing an existing perfectly good image. Please stop adding these images now. Thank you.  Velella  Velella Talk 14:49, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Dear Velella, please explain why you have undone my work today? I spent much time making the best images I could. I would be greatly surprised if consensus agrees with you that none of my new images were improvements. For example the previous stress ball and wooden spoon images were much worse. And your argument about inclusion of hands/arms being tantamount to vandalism doesn't make sense. On many of the pages in question there are hands and arms in the photos already. - Best regards, Lewis 50N916 (talk) 16:21, 25 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I would have thought that the comments above and my edit summaries would been explanation enough. As I noted above, the wholesale replacement of long established images by your own images, smacks of self promotion. The question you should ask is "does this image substantially improve this article". I and other editors have taken the view that with one or two exceptions they don't. I would therefore suggest that in future the issue is raised on the talk page first and, if you gain consensus in favour, then and only then replace the image.
