Nice photo of Adler

Hey Baseball,

Thanks for uploading the beautiful photo of Adler Planetarium. I've nominated it for the Best Picture prize (still a long way to go before you win it however!). You can nominate your own photos, if you'd like, simply by putting this tag at the bottom of the file description [[Category:WLM 2012 United States nominated]]

There is one potential problem. I'm assuming that you're the person whose name is mentioned in the copyright statement in the metadata. But with this statement there some administrators here may think that the photo is still copyrighted. You do understand that the CC-BY-SA license means that anybody can use the photo as long as they give Baseball636 attribution? If there was a way to remove the copyright statement before you upload, that would make everything easier.

Thanks again,
