Do you still have the original image that this is based on? I'd like to see if I can improve it in Photoshop; I like the composition but I think some postprocessing could improve the image. Thanks, Kelly Martin 00:05, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

Wikimedia Canada
Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 02:08, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
