If you are Jennifer, I would like permission to use your lovely photograph of the Ellis statue in a memorial page I'm working on for the Find A Grave website (and do you happen to have a close-up of the plaque?): http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSmcid=46998289&GRid=55879417&

I signed in to donate some photos I had taken from historical sites to the Wikipedia tonight and yup, you're right, this was definitely disappointing to see at the top of my page. I'll be sticking to working on just my own sites from now on - I thought my article was pretty darn neutral, so clearly, I don't "get" the rules. Aphillcsa (talk) 23:31, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
