[edit] Image:2004-09-02 1580x2800 chicago IBM building.jpg

Hi, I have just been going through various Wikimedia projects that use Image:IBM bldg jc01.jpg and changing them to use Image:2004-09-02 1580x2800 chicago IBM building.jpg. In doing so I noticed that you made a slightly different crop for the two images. In the newer image there is a little bit of the Marina City complex that pokes in at the left of the picture. I think that it looks better with that cropped out, if you agree would you upload a new crop. Thanks, —JeremyA 14:55, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok it's gone. I usually point to the replacement image in my deletion summary but I can't find one for Image:Blue_angels_chi_2004.jpg. Is this an image that you didn't intend to replace? —JeremyA 20:02, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture deletion

The three first pictures are still used in other wiki projects. Michelet-密是力 07:37, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Please read commons policy, you just re-added a badname tag where it had been removed by me. badname is only to be used on *identical* images. If the image is not identical use COM:DEL instead. Thank you. Lcarsdata 21:35, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:2004-07-14 2600x1500 chicago lake skyline.jpg

Could you produce a very high quality Chicago skyline photo that adequately captures it in daylight with minimal smog. Pleeasssee use your SLR :) Preferably a wide lens would be better but we need an "iconic" photo that captures the skyline without too much additional fuss. Your current one Image:2004-07-14 2600x1500 chicago lake skyline.jpg is a great frame actually so you could even do that same perspective. But the point being the colors of the buildings need to come off a little better. Davumaya (talk) 21:44, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Help needed

Hi Jcrocker,

I saw all the pictures of Chicago you made, maybe you can help me. As I'm writting an article in french uppon the "Second Presbyterian Church of Chicago". I noticed there is no picture available of the building. May I ask if you have some and would agree to dowload them on Commons ?

Best regards. Giovanni-P (talk) 06:43, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
