Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a  living person to any Wikipedia page. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced to multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring and sockpuppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Lastly, if you are editing an article about an individual or group of people, please adhere to Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Bjmullan (talk) 08:20, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Copyright violation
Your images from http://www.openstreetmap.org/ have been removed from all articles and have been marked for speedy deletion. Please read the sections above regarding the use of copyright material. I hope this doesn't stop you from editing here at WP. Bjmullan (talk) 08:22, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Apologies, I thought that the maps were a violation of copyright but they are not. If you do insert them back into articles you should use the thumb style to make the image smaller.Bjmullan (talk) 10:25, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * No. That would defeat the purpose. The point is to see where the areas of the city are. You can't see that in a thumbnail. Edroads (talk) 13:12, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The thumbnail allows the user to click on the image and it will then open full size. This is the normal way of adding images to articles on WP. The images are just too big. Bjmullan (talk) 13:49, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I disagree. There are some large images on these pages already e.g. the panoramas. If you click on the panoramas then you do get a really gimungous image. That would be too big. But these maps are fine. Edroads (talk) 13:55, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't agree but we will see if other editors make the change. Bjmullan (talk) 14:06, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I've had a look at how images can be sized. I've reduced the images but so that you can still see what they are. Thumbnail doesn't need to mean thumbnail it seems. Edroads (talk) 16:25, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
