Gates & Boots image
I don't think the image you posted with Secretary Gates and his boots needs to be on the Texas A&M page as it adds nothing and pertains to nothing directly on the page. Furthermore, it is a duplicate of Image:RobertGates_TAMU_SeniorBoots.JPEG already on many other pages, you don't have appropriate attribution, etc. I'll be nominating it for deletion later since it isn't necessary. Good image add though. — BQZip01 — talk 06:06, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * BTW, (just an FYI) the other image is already in use on:
 * Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets
 * Gig 'em Aggies
 * Traditions of Texas A&M University
 * Types of gestures
 * List of Texas Aggie terms
 * ...so it isn't being covered up! :-) — BQZip01 —  talk 06:10, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
