From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

While I was once very active, bordering perhaps upon too active upon Wikipedia, I no longer have the time nor the passion to contribute to the same degree. Still, my use of Wikipedia as a reference has remained consistent, and I find myself still fixing the odd typo every so often, in the hopes that I can continue to help.

Wikipedia has changed so much since I first came - as perhaps most things do in eight years. Still, I cannot help but be amazed at how much of an impact something as "simple" as a free encyclopedia has had upon the world. Knowledge must be free, and I'm glad to see that Wikipedia has ensured that will always be the case.

I won't drop a retirement banner on this page, that's much too cliche. Even this stretches the boundary. I'll continue to visit - drop me a line if you'd like my help in something. I can't promise a prompt response, but I'll respond....sometime :)

Thanks

I'd like to thank The Random Editor, from whom's userpage I used as a base.

How to find legal photographs and graphics

A good photograph, map, or other graphic in an article can help clarify things. If you want one but are stumped, or totally lost about copyright rules, one really good way to find graphics is to type "public domain" into the Google image search window, along with an appropriate key word. An extra benefit is that you have a high probability of finding photographs that are legal under the Wikipedia rules. (Remember to copy down the artist's name and URL for recent photographs labeled "public domain", because you will need the information when you upload the graphic.)

Of course, you shouldn't forget to look on the Wikimedia Commons first‍—‌someone may already have done the hard work! (You can use images from the Commons in the same way as local Wikipedia ones.) Here is the link to Wikimedia Commons search.
