Bodmin Moor

Could you add some information on the source of this picture to the image page (you click on the picture in the article to get there). Also how large is this object? Rmhermen 00:14, Oct 19, 2004 (UTC)

Hi the Cheesewring is 7 metres in height: The photograph is my own taken on holiday in Cornwall in September 2003.

Image tags

Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you very much for the images you are contributing to Wikipedia, you seem to have a very impressive collection of images. One thing that would be of service would be if you could specify which license you are releasing the pictures under. The most common license is the GFDL, to release an image under the GFDL simply add {{GFDL}} to each image's page. A list of other possible licenses and tags can be found at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Below is a list of the images you have uploaded. If you have a couple minutes it would be much appreciated if you could add copyright tags to them. - SimonP 21:08, Nov 22, 2004 (UTC)

Did you know has been updated and a fact from the article Polperro, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you have another interesting fact to submit, then please suggest it at the section's talk page.

Bedale

Thanks for supplying the picture of Bedale. Ta very much! Borderer 15:12, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Conwy Railway Bridge

Excellent photo - it add a great deal to the article. I travel over the bridge almost weekly but the train never provides a good view of the bridge. Velela 20:45, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Roger De Vlaeminck

Hello I'm French and I ave used your picture of Roger De Vlaeminck for the French encyclopedia. Could you say me in which Paris-Roubaix this picture was taken ? Thank you and sorry for my english. fr:Utilisateur:Antoinel

I have added the same photo to the dutch wiki about Roger De Vlaeminck and would like to know the details aswell. If you can provide them off course ;-) 82.157.156.158 19:05, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC) nl:Gebruiker:NielsB

Eskdale photos

Hey Mick,

Great photos of Eskdale. I used to stay at Penny Hill Farm as a kid and it was really nice to see the photo of Harter Fell. Even after spending time in the Alps, Eskdale is still a beautiful place.

Regards, Keith

Coldstream Bridge

Hey! :) I really really like your photos... I found one of them that justabout fitted my new article at Coldstream Bridge, but I wondered if you had one that featured more on the (very interesting) bridge and less on the Tweed? If you did it would be fantastic, if not, I am sure we can make do with the current one. Thanks a lot for all your work on the British geography articles! --TheGrappler 22:47, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The new picture is now in place at Coldstream Bridge, thanks a lot! :) --TheGrappler 00:00, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Berwick Bridge and Royal Tweed Bridge

Again, thanks for the photos! I don't suppose you have one for the Royal Border Bridge too? That's the Victorian railway viaduct carrying the East Coast Mainline over the Tweed - it's a pretty dramatic sight, but I haven't been able to find a free photograph for it! Thanks, TheGrappler 16:26, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Mark V

Hallo Mick! Very nice article about Bovington Tank Museum! And very, very nice pictures. Especially the one of the Mark V! Could you possibly put it (or any other of course :o) on WikiCommons also? There's a number of foreign language wikiprojects that would benefit greatly from the inclusion of your gorgeous picture(s). WWI vehicles are quite rare and it's difficult to obtain photos of them. Thanks anyhow,--MWAK 3 July 2005 14:25 (UTC)

Thank you for your efforts! I've already put them to good use.--MWAK 4 July 2005 18:07 (UTC)

My congrats on the pics too! I was worried that whenI'm down there later in the year, I'd have to drag my wife round the place photgraphing everything that wasn't already on wikipedia. Just one question, the TOG2, for a reference point, how tall is the little person (your grand-daughter?)in front of itGraemeLeggett 4 July 2005 19:22 (UTC)

Roger De Vlaeminck - part II

Could you please provide more information about the photo you have uploaded about Roger De Vlaeminck? If you dont have any information, please say so. nl:gebruiker:NielsB

After consulting with my father he seems to think that it is the 1978 edition of Paris-Roubaix - Mick Knapton

Thank you very much! I will add this info to the photo on the dutch wiki. 22:26, 4 August 2005 (UTC) NielsB

Eskdale

Sincere apologies for removing your picture. I appreciate the effort you went to in taking it (hard to get to valley is Eskdale!) and I guess I just forgot that you can have two pictures in the same article! I think your picture is better, come to think of it I'm not even siure if my picture's of Eskdale at all!

Thanks for not deleting the other picture. Actually I got it from this website. They aim to have a photo from every 1km grid square in Britain, and all the images are licensed as Creative Commons Attribution, so they are suitable for copying onto wikipedia. Apologies for forgetting to license it. --Mark J 15:43, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Paris-Tours

Why didn't you just use "292 km" on your new map at Paris-Tours? The objection wasn't to your use of a symbol; it was to your use of the improper symbol "KM". While there are situations in which the spelled out word can be capitalized, it looks ugly here, and even spelled out would be better with a lowercase k. But since this differs from the rules that the symbols are case sensitive, I won't revert it, just letting you know that it could be better. The shading on this new version is also too dark for my tastes. Gene Nygaard 17:49, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Royal Border Bridge

Many thanks for the photo. This is a very late reply, haven't had time to log on to Wiki since I started teacher-training! Your photo collection is a great contribution to Wikipedia. :-) TheGrappler 19:18, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Harrison Stickle and Branstree

Nice photos, thanks for telling me about them. Happy New year! Grinner 11:26, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Supertram liveries

Hi! Seeing as there have now been a couple of changes of livery, perhaps it would be good to add a section to the supertram article on the various liveries that have been used. This would then be a good place to put photos that illustrate each livery. I found this photograph that illustrates the original livery, but I'm sure that there are more out there.

Lake District fells

Just a word of thanks about the Lake District fells you've added over time - you write really nice articles with excellent picture. Keep it up! Grinner

Kisdon Force

Brilliant article. I've nommed it for WP:DYK, hope you don't mind. Your photos are superb, and belie the rumour that the sun never shines in the UK. ++Lar: t/c 21:56, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Kisdon Force, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Thanks for your efforts on this one! ++Lar: t/c 21:43, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Demolition Article

Well Mick, I am not finished with the demolition article. I am about to add a couple more pictures to the article, including yours. The reason I removed yours is because it is very difficult to see the excavator in your picture. Congrats on getting a pic of a long-reach excavator though, I am sill searching for one to take a pic of. KeepOnTruckin 20:19, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Look at it now; is that good?

Image license

Hi Mike, I've found that there's a "broken" file, a photo made by you. Could you please add more information (date perhaps?) and a license to Image:The Cheesewring 2.jpg (cf. history), so that it won't get deleted? Thanks a lot, nice shot :-) --Ü 23:48, 31 May 2006 (UTC) [reply]

WikiProject on Sheffield Wednesday

Hi Mick Knapton. I am inviting you to join the WikiProject on Sheffield Wednesday, an attempt to improve and expand Wikipedia coverage of articles relating to Sheffield Wednesday F.C. You have received this message either because you have previously edited pages related to Sheffield Wednesday or you have stated on Wikipedia that you are a fan of the club. This is a fledgling WikiProject and we would welcome your contributions, please visit the project page for more details. Dan1980 11:43, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great to have you aboard Mick. Contributions to any Sheffield Wednesday related articles are welcome, so feel free to write about the subjects that you are most knowledgable on. You can find a list of the articles that are in need of most work here. — Dan1980 11:27, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mick,

You're not treading on my toes at all. There's loads to do so we appreciate your help wherever you can give it. When you create articles relating to Sheffield Wednesday please could you add the tag {{WPSWFC}} to the top of the article's talk page. This automatically adds it to Category:WikiProject Sheffield Wednesday articles and makes it easier to keep track of the articles covered by the WikiProject.

I've added a paragraph to the Peter Swan article about his short managerial career at Matlock Town. As far as I am aware he did not manage any other clubs, but if you know different please add them to the article.

Cheers, Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 17:09, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
