Thanks for joining the Somerset wikiproject & the photos look great. As long as you hold the copyright etc they would be really useful additions. You might like to look at Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Somerset (although there are lots of other vilages & things which need photos which are not included on that list). If you are not familiar with wikipedia code & procedures you may find Help:Contents/Images and media useful. Thanks again & welcome.&mdash; Rod talk 14:56, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Hiya!
check it out: Greinton I was a little uncertain about the name of the church -- some places I saw it called St. Michael and All Angels and other places just St. Michael's -- do you recollect what they call themselves on the sign? I went with the long name for now -- I figured it got shortened for convenience in some references. cheers! Celia Kozlowski 23:17, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Photos for Somerset
It can seem really complicated on wikipedia when you first start & a lot of the rules & processes are because of worries about copyright violation etc. If you could go to Wikimedia Commons http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_page & create an account (can be the same username & password as on wikipedia & then upload the photos (assuming they are all your own work etc) This means they are also available to other wikiprojects. Call them something informative eg Otherychurch the file name created when created you upload them will be something like Image:Otherychurch.jpg - you then need to copy this file name & edit into the relevant article & the image will appear. You generally need to make it a thumbnail by adding "|thumb" & then add a caption so you would end up with something like Image:Otherychurch.jpg|thumb|Othery church west front. To make them appear in the page add  before &  after eg. Hope this helps - if you need more let me know.&mdash; Rod talk 19:00, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Meeting in Bristol
Hi this is Steve Virgin from the Board of Wikimedia UK

I am a fellow Bristolian

We have a Wikimedia Conference in town this weekend

We were getting some of the Bristol Project Wikipedians together at the Watershed on Saturday night for a Wiki Meet at around 6.30pm.

This is a good opportunity to meet people from the national Chapter, other Chapters from around the world and from the Wikimedia Foundation. There is a bar tab to help proceedings and we would be very keen to see you there.

RSVP - let me know if you are able to come and feel free to invite any other local Wikipedians in Bristol

WP Somerset members list
Hi, I'm doing some housekeeping tasks at WikiProject Somerset. I'm contacting all those listed as members who haven't edited wikipedia for more than 6 months to see if they want to be kept on the list. If you would still like to be a member of the wikiproject please let me know either on my talk page or the project talk page, otherwise I will take your name off the list in a month or so.&mdash; Rod talk 09:03, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
