By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes (~~~~), which produces your name and the current date.

image upload tips edit
Just wanted to say thanks for uploading images. I also wanted to mention a couple things to remeber when uploading images. First, Please say in the image summary, what its copyright status is. The last image you uploaded was CC-BY-NC-ND (Creative commons, attributation non-commercial, no deritives). Images without copyright info might get deleted (depending on how lazy the person who sees it it. I'm not that lazy so I looked on the source you specified and found the info, but technically Images without copyright info can be deleted on sight. See WN:IUP and WN:FU for more info on that). Second, this is a minnor point, but in future if you could give more descriptive names, that would be great. Its a lot easier to remember, for example: image:Person_eating_pie.jpg, then image:103789174_4123798432_5.jpg. Other then that, Your doing great. happy editing and welcome to wikinews.
