Forbes pics
Hello hello. I fell asleep last night between Spong and Forbes. =P I've put up the Forbes pic now. When we use pictures here we have to upload them to the wikimedia servers first. There are two places to do this: on the English Wikipedia and on the Wikimedia Commons. The idea is to use the Commons for any media that is under a free license applying worldwide, so that the non-English Wikipedias can use them as well, from one central location. Any media that is legal under fair use in the United States but not necessarily other places, gets put on the English Wikipedia because the servers are hosted in the USA. You'll get the hang of what I'm talking about after a while. So there are two uploading places, and the instructions are different. For the Commons, see commons:Commons:First steps. For the English Wikipedia, see Help:Contents/Images and media.

And if you want me to navigate the system instead, that's fine too. Just point me to the photos you want to use like you've already been doing. I've been putting the photos up on the Commons; you can see my repository there at commons:User:Coelacan.

You could probably benefit from the links in the welcome message, so I've included that at the top. If you have questions on how to use Wikipedia, I can answer them at my talk page, User talk:Coelacan, and you can get a very fast response at the WP:HELPDESK. Peace! &mdash; coe l acan t a lk  &mdash; 16:34, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The Wikipedia servers are acting up and I'm having a hard time getting the pictures to show up on my end. This happens sometimes with new pictures. If we just leave them alone, they'll be displaying alright in a day or two. Just a heads up. &mdash; coe l acan t a lk  &mdash; 20:01, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
