Hi. Since you seem like a nice guy, take great photos and obviously know how to do it, I had to ask you this question, from one n00b to a 1337 - How do you make (or rather insert) the little voting graphics, like yours in [1]?
Great photos
Great pictures mate. I posted a few of them (with attribution) in Australian Hunting Net forum, hope you don't mind. Everyone was impressed!

It isn't much, but I'm trying to add to it.

Pic of the Day
Hi Fir,
Just to let you know that your photo Image:Chestnuts.jpg is up for Pic of the Day tomorrow. You can check the caption at Wikipedia:Picture of the day/September 15, 2005. -- Solipsist 06:06, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
- And Image:Pomegranate03 edit.jpg is up on the 18th. As this will be a weekend, it should also be on the MainPage too. The associated caption is at Wikipedia:Picture of the day/September 18, 2005. -- Solipsist 06:49, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
- You wait for a Pic of the day for ages, then three come along at once. A golden oldy this time; your Emperor Gum Moth is due for a reappearance on the 19th Sep. Oddly there doesn't appear to have been much of a caption last time. Perhaps most of the article was written later. In any case a freshly minted caption can be checked and improved at Wikipedia:Picture of the day/September 19, 2005.
- And you didn't tell me that you had managed to get a photo of some insect eggs. I've now updated the egg (biology) page to include it, so that article is a little less POV now. Actually the Emperor Gum Moth article is now rather well illustrated with all aspects of the moth's life cycle. Nice job. -- Solipsist 07:22, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
Next one up is Image:MotoX racing03 edit.jpg next Tuesday, with the caption at Wikipedia:Picture of the day/September 27, 2005. I've added it to Motocross as that seemed a more appropriate illustration than at motorcycle. -- Solipsist 07:54, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
Wikimania
Hi Fir,
In case you haven't seen it, you might be interested in this discussion on Commons. -- Solipsist 07:11, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- No I wasn't aware of the discussion, so thanx for pointing it out. --Fir0002 07:21, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
On a completely different issue, I know this may sound dumb, but I've noticed people refering to wikipedia chat on irc. What is that? I use ICQ but am not familiar with IRC channels. --Fir0002 07:26, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry, I can't help you with that one. I know the channels exist, but I don't use them. The starting point would seem to be Wikipedia:IRC channels.
- There are also several mailing lists, with pointers at Wikipedia:Mailing lists. -- Solipsist 08:02, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Pics
Hi, just wanted to say that I am always astounded by your talent in photography; I've actually mentioned you on my user page; I thought I was an alright photographer until I saw your work. It is always spectacular. Keep up the good work! Sputnikcccp 11:57, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Question
You have experience in this area, so I'm asking you. :)
Do you think this picture would be a viable featured picture:
Note, that I am not asking how you would vote, but rather if you think that this picture would have a generally favorable response if listed. The only problem I can personally see is a small amount of blur a full-size, but it doesn't appear too distracting, IMO. :) PiccoloNamek 03:14, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
Edit: Well, I went ahead and added it anyway. Here's hoping for the best. Feel free to remove this. Sorry to bother you. PiccoloNamek 09:29, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
