Welcome to FR Wiki. As you appear to be knowledgable in FR matters, it would be useful if you register and put an identity to your valuable contributions. --Stewart 19:33, 11 April 2007

Hi Stewart - I'd love to, but it doesn't recognise me anymore! User:86.145.211.234 Now, 11 April 2007

ps. knowledgable? thank you oh wise one.

Simply register/log-in and it will not matter where you are when you are working on the FR Wiki. If you have not been doing any edits since the system was upgraded at the beginning of March 2007, a re-register will be required. --Stewart 19:44, 11 April 2007
Me oh wise one - not really.
re-register? (sigh)

PS. your clock is on GMT?
My laptop clock is on Porthmadog time, the server is on GMT. --Stewart 19:56, 11 April 2007

I asked Peter H about this and the answer came back it would require a lot of coding or a manual change on the new ISP we are using - hence the time is out.

However, if you go into "My Preferences" at the top Click on the Date time tab and put 01:00 in the offset then save, it should bring you back on normal time (only found this one today) --Keith 20:01, 11 April 2007

Tim, Is there any reason why the category that groups your pictures has been removed from some of them (mainly the WHR ones)? --Stewart 20:42, 16 April 2007

Thanks for your rant Tim, as a result I will now revert all the edits I made to images so that your contributions are simply as you made them. --Stewart 11:20, 17 April 2007

Tim, As a result I have now removed all my edits that I had made to your images. --Stewart 11:40, 17 April 2007
At your insitigation I have created Category pages for 87, 133, 134, 138, 140, 143 and K1. More will follow in other areas. As these are daughter categories of Category:WHR(C) Locomotives, there will be no need to include the mother category with the pictures. --Stewart 12:43, 17 April 2007

Image summary and licensing[edit]

Tim, I have be working on a template to be added to image pages to simplify and guide the addition of details, and also adding the "Photo by..." category without any further work required by the uploaded. As an trial, I have applied it to two images - one of mine (Image:122Comb-060103.jpg - with an large caption) and one of yours (Image:05-04-03 1edit.JPG). What to do reckon, and are there any improvements you can think of? I am not sure how to automatically add other categories at present without making the coding too complex. --Stewart 11:42, 22 April 2007

Sir:

Is it possible to obtain a hi-res, large format digital image of your broadside photo of #143 as shown on the internet? I have commissioned a painting of #143 and need a good photo to send to the artist. I can receive up to 10 mb in a message.
