A belated welcome!


Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Terry Alphonse. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
 * Introduction
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * How to write a great article
 * Editor's index to Wikipedia

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Questions, or place help me on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! --Animalparty! (talk) 05:28, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Own work
Hello! Thanks for your contributions. I notice that you have been uploading scans of old photographs and labelling them your "own work". This designation, however, is for photographers. Instead, you should be noting that it is a scan from your own collection, and you should give the name, if you have it, of the photographer, and the date, or approximate date (and place) when the photograph was taken. Put this information on the upload page, not in the image captions All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:24, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

E. A. Sothern
It seems unlikely to me that the photograph could be from the 1870s. Sothern looks very youthful in the photo. I bet it was taken for him when he was with Laura Keene's company in NY in the 1850s. No need to name the photo studio in the image caption. Name them on the upload page, and then people can click on the photo to see more information about it. -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:50, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
