Traer, Iowa
Thanks for adding a great photo to Traer, Iowa. When adding a photo, you will often have to move stuff around to make sure it fits. Please have a look at the changes I made to the article. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:16, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I also cleaned up both historic images in that article. If you are interested in learning how to do this, please let me know. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:31, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm trying to help you, but you don't seem to be listening. Your image as Mason City, Iowa doesn't fit.  You also don't need to say, "Mason City, Iowa, 1950".  We know it's Iowa.  You're making more work for other editors. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:36, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Dear Magnolia677 I actually do need a lot of help. I'm a professor and my 12 students are all adding images in today and tomorrow related to the Fortepan Iowa archive. This is part of a Creative Commons exercise. I am not that experienced and better than they are. They are not familiar with all the Wikipedia rules (although I've done my best to explain them), and I promise I will clean up any messes they leave behind. I am the only one getting your messages and I'm so sorry you are frustrated with my students' work. We will get there. Thanks so much for your patience and guidance. I don't even know if this is the best way to reach you and send a messageFortepanIowa (talk) 16:50, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah, not a problem. Let me know if I can help. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:36, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
