- Hey there, I noticed your comments on TheCoffee's talk page and think that the original image should definitely go back on the page with a note saying that it was taken on the opening. I do not like replacing images that others have placed on here as I do appreciate that it takes time and effort. The only reason I did so was because of a comment on the talk page asking for an image that didn't cut off part of the wheel. I can assure you it wasn't vanity as I had previously looked at the page to add an image and didn't as the article already had the said image. I reckon if you add it back on with a note about the historical significance it definitely is worthwhile. No hard feelings. Regards. SeanMack 17:15, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
Fair enough - I'll try to tread gently! It was a strange day, poured with rain all afternoon, not at all easy to get a good shot of HRH etc from a long distance, but I reckon after spending three hours sheltering under a poly bag I need something to show for it - sdince then I have visited several times as I live just down the road, and got many more really crisp photos in better conditions.Excalibur 17:57, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Have you seen the opinions expressed on the image's description page? What's your take on that? Lupo 07:44, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Some help
I've fixed the image syntax for you over at Logba language (the problem was that you uploaded the image as image:Logbagirl.JPG (with uppercase JPG), and filenames are case-sensitive here. I hope you don't mind I removed the link to the Scottish friends of Logba site; as I said in my edit summary, it's interesting but not directly relevant to the article on the language. If you want to start Logba people, go right ahead! Best, — mark ✎ 14:19, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Oh and you might want to use the Show preview button to review your edits before you save a page. That way it's easier to see what might be going wrong. — mark ✎ 14:21, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- Hi Excalibur, I've replied on my own talk page: see User_talk:Mark_Dingemanse#New_Picture_on_Logba. Regards, — mark ✎ 18:06, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
