Hoyt Arboretum
Hi Nickpdx. I noticed you deleted a sentence out of the Arboretum article. It was
 * Twelve miles of trails crisscross the 185 acres of the arboretum.

I'm wondering why you felt this was worth deleting. Normally one would write such things in the edit summary, but you left it blank, so I'm curious. By the way, thanks for correcting the spelling of McClay. Overlooked that last time I was there. —EncMstr 03:16, 13 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Now that you mention it, I do remember seeing the redundant information there, but hadn't paid attention. Guess I've been "deconstructing" the article so much, I haven't looked for duplicate information.  Thanks for cleaning it up.  EncMstr 06:14, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Your pictures of the Darlingtonia Botanical Wayside
Hi Nickpdx. I am a user of the German Wikipedia and I have seen the very good pictures you made at the Darlingtonia Botanical Wayside. Especially the photo of the plants themselves is very interesting, as it illustrates in an impressive manner the large amount of plants which can be found at natural stands. Thus I have transferred the images to the commons, you can see them here now: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Darlingtonia_californica (they are deleted now in en).

As I am right now working on an article concerning the plants and my goal is to make it a featured article, I have integrated it there (Darlingtonia). Regrettably the picture is rather small (800 x 600 / 210 Kb), so I want to ask you, if the original is maybe larger (you might have reduced it in size?) and if this is the case, if you maybe could upload the larger version too? This would be great,

Best regards, Denisoliver

Thank you
Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say, "Nice picture!" and thank you for uploading Image:DSC03699.JPG. Let me know if I can ever be of any help. --Hetar 05:46, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Image:DSC03699.JPG
Hi. i believe you need to upload a new version of this image again. May i suggest uploading this image with a new descriptive filename to avoid further conflicts such as this? thanks. Ian Kiu 13:24, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Tablerock basalt.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Tablerock basalt.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 01:08, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Creek and old-growth forest on Larch Mountain in Oregon
I like your image of Larch Mountain and would like to use it for an upcoming museum exhibit; however, we need the image in a larger resolution. Is it possible to get a copy at either 300 or 600 dpi?

PROD Notice
Hello! I've proposed that two images you uploaded: File:Fallen tree in Forest Park (Portland).jpg and File:Forest Park (Portland).jpg be deleted from Wikipedia per WP:PROD. It's great that you uploaded your own images and released them into the public domain, but in the 12 years since you took the images, many other high-quality images of the park have become available (some excellent ones are now at Forest Park (Portland, Oregon)). This makes these ones somewhat obsolete for encyclopedic purposes. If you disagree, please contest the proposed deletion by removing the deletion tags on those articles. Also, I moved your third image uploaded File:Path in Forest Park (Portland).jpg to Wikimedia Commons so that folks on other Wikis could also use the image. Thanks again for your images! Happy editing! Ajpolino (talk) 21:32, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
