Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. The photograph you are attempting to add to McSorley's Old Ale House does not appear to satisfy our image use policy as it features non-notable people in a way that detracts from the subject. I know it's tempting to upload pictures of yourself or your friends for use in Wikipedia articles, but Wikipedia is not a free web host. If the thousands upon thousands of people who visit McSorley's all put photos of themselves into the article, there would be no space for anything else.

I hope this doesn't discourage you from editing Wikipedia, but rather that you'll see it as one way of making sure our content is relevant to all of our readers. Kafziel Complaint Department 00:16, 22 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, the lead photo has no people in it. Look again. ;)
 * It is also considerably more useful for illustrating the front of the bar as it actually looks, without a massive huddle of people and thousands of snowflakes reflected in the flash. If you'd like to keep the photo, you may place it on your userpage. Wikipedia is pretty lenient about having a few personal photos on your userpage, so no problem there.
