Image additions

I think you are adding your photos to far too many articles, without sufficient regard to their relevance and suitability. I, and at least one other editor, have reverted a number of your additions, such as at Massachusetts, and I have reduced the size of several others, such as at Charlestown, Boston. Please slow down and consider, in each case, whether the photo (and caption) subject matter are truly noteworthy and central to the particular article. In general, images should be added sparingly. When the same photo is added to multiple articles, as you have done with your Bunker Hill Monument photo, it is overuse and crowds out other images that might be more appropriate and provide variety. It would also be helpful if you would regularly use the edit summaries to explain your intentions for each edit.

Please see WP:IDD for guidance regarding some of the policies governing image additions, and the list at Images#See_also for other links that might be helpful. Hertz1888 (talk) 08:58, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please make sure to include an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! Hertz1888 (talk) 08:59, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Invitation to WikiProject New Jersey

Hi, I saw some of your contributions to New Jersey articles, and thought you might be interested in joining WikiProject New Jersey. We're an informal group and always welcome new participants. Cheers. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 02:04, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanx for the pix!

I've added tons and tons of text, but very, very few images to New Jersey articles. Sure, the text is informative and sourced, but images make a tremendous difference in the appearance and appeal of an article. My sincere thanks for taking the time to go through so many articles to add images that genuinely add to their quality and my hopes that you will keep this up with other New Jersey articles. Thanks!

I liked the Matamoras Bridge photo

I think your excellent photo should be restored on Delaware River. I've swum in the Delaware; great river; never been on this bridge before.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 03:16, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

thanks!(Jared Kofsky (talk) 03:22, 7 September 2012 (UTC))

Corning

Hi Jared. I have reverted your addition of a picture to the above article, as it is not actually correct. The picture you added shows a scene in the City of Corning, which is different from the Town. Cheers, Lindsay^Hello 07:40, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:57, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
