Thanks for making the edits that you have to the SDSU article. It's always good to have more people working on South Dakota related articles. I have noticed one possible problem with the you uploaded of the Ethanol lab at SDSU. It appears to be a scanned picture that you claim the copyright for. However, if you didn't take the original photograph then it is likely that this is a copyright violation. I have nominated it for deletion, you can see the nomination page. If you did in fact take the picture than please, by all means go there and make your case. You can also defend it as possibly being in the public domain. If you can prove it comes from the federal government that would be fine. Sorry to have to welcome you to Wikipedia like this. It is rather unfortunate in my estimation that we have to police copyright violations so strictly. If you have any questions feel free to ask them on my talk page. Another person who can help you if you need it is AlexiusHoratius. He's a very helpful Admin who is also the most active member of the South Dakota WikiProject.-- sdgjake (talk) 16:32, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
