Hello to all. Geraldshields11 (talk) 02:31, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

This should link to my EN Wikipedia user page. See that user page for COI statements.

I participated in numerous photographic competition. I participated in the various edit-o-thon. Several of my photographs have been used in non-profit, commercial, and non-commercial publications.

Photo Policy[edit]

I have a photo policy: If you are in a photograph that I take, and you do not like it, you can propose to delete it and I will not contest. Just tag it as {{delete|per w:EN:User:Geraldshields11's photograph policy}}. Please add appropriate captions to my photographs. I am trying to fight systemic bias on Wikipedia or WikiCommons.
