A welcome from Emersoni[edit]

Hello, ChrisJB, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We're glad to have you in our community! Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful.

Enjoy your stay with Wikipedia!

Re: The Wrekin[edit]

Hi there,

Use the GFDL license for any of your own photos that you would like Wikipedia to use. However, if it's not your own photo, but a photo taken from elsewhere on the internet, it cannot be uploaded to Wikipedia. The next best thing would be to link to it from the article.

And welcome! If you want, you can add [[Category:Wikipedians in Shropshire]] to your userpage and you will then be added to the list of Salopian wikipedians! :)

David.

Your image is superb and should stand alone on the article - play around using the "Show preview" button until you get the best effect! David 20:11, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yup the Wrekin page is looking pretty good now. If you have any more good images to put on Wikipedia articles (especially Shropshire ones) please do add them! :)

Re: Severn photo[edit]

I'm not even sure where that photo is from (!!) - I don't mind where it's used, though I think articles like The Quarry should have it. In fact the Quarry's article needs more photos! David 17:23, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Silly me, I was looking at a different photo! When I said "I'm not even sure where that photo is from" I meant its origin. The one you've taken is good and should be put on to English Bridge, maybe, as an example of the view from that bridge. Though if you have a photo of the bridge itself, that would be better still.

License tagging for Image:Porthill BridgeCB.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Porthill BridgeCB.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 17:06, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Shrewsbury photos[edit]

Thanks for the photos - the Dingle one, for example, is superb.

Have you got one of Pride Hill? The Bear Steps? Any of the churches in the town centre?

I have a couple of photos hanging about on my computer too, so I may be able to add a few in the future. David 18:40, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bear Steps "rather undesirable to walk through"??! Aren't you getting mixed up with Seventy Steps?! David 18:54, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ShropshireWiki[edit]

Hi Chris. I've started a wiki dedicated to Shropshire and would be very pleased to have you add some content to it. [1]

Done. --pgk 23:01, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Map of West Midlands Region[edit]

Thank you for your efforts in the creation of the map - it looks really good and illustrates the article well. One thought springs to mind, however - you show settlements with a red dot, but Sandwell isn't a settlement but a local goverment district in the same way as you mark "Telford" instead of "Telford and Wrekin". Is there any chance of a slight update - perhaps using West Bromwich? Thanks! Fingerpuppet 14:34, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Yes, Telford is one town nowadays, though confusion comes in that towns aren't the same thing as the like-named local authority area, and in extra-confusing manner, UAs are technically counties in their own right, though MBCs aren't. I like the way, though, that you're marking settlements rather than local authorities, so I'd leave Telford as is.
Just one more minor moan (and it is minor - please don't think I'm having a go!) is that you're missing the A38(M) motorway in Birmingham. Fingerpuppet 16:56, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Perfect! Thank you again for your work. Fingerpuppet 17:10, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:SevernMap.jpg[edit]

Useful map, but I'm not sure what relevance some of the Midlands towns (Stafford, Derby, etc) have, and it would be useful if you could add in a few more towns adjacent to the river / estuary in the south - Newport, Chepstow, Lydney, Berkeley, to name a few. Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:32, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Percy Thrower[edit]

Chris many thanks for the picture that I have just added to the Percy Thrower page that I am adding too. Is there any chance of the picture of the head gardener’s house and also the Percy thrower garden centre if they are still around? I would do it myself but I live in Colchester. Many thanks...Deben Dave (talk) 14:30, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

M54[edit]

Excellent map you've made for the M54 motorway, really shows the road off well in relationship to the local area.--Fuelboy (talk) 14:08, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Shropshire[edit]

Hey, just wondering if you'd be interested in being a member of a proposed WikiProject to cover Shropshire? The proposal can be found here. If you are, could you possibly put your name in the list. Thanks Asdfasdf1231234 (talk) 12:47, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in ...[edit]

I saw your name at Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Photographers. I revised the pages at Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in England. Please consider adding your name to the top of the page at Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Shropshire and to any of the other subpages for Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in England. Thanks. GregManninLB (talk) 01:43, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

severn map[edit]

hi chrisjb, please can you improve your map with "severn" on several places? [2] thanks. Dontworry (talk) 17:43, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
