This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:College Park MD logo.png. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Photo requests in Prince George's County

Hello! Are you interested in taking photo requests for Wikipedia articles related to Prince George's County? If so, I can give ideas on what notable buildings to take photos of. Typically I request photos of public facilities (post offices, city buildings, fire stations, libraries, police stations, and public schools) to advance Wikipedia's gazetteer coverage of places.

Thanks, WhisperToMe (talk) 22:49, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

I wouldn't be able to commit to it, especially in the short term, but I could give it a try at some point. I should be able to take some pictures at least in some areas in North PG county, so feel free to send requests (I saw the two in the College Park's Talk page).

By the way, thank you for making Wikipedia a better place and in particular, for the improvements to the county's pages 🙏 Blacktupelo (talk) 02:52, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

WhisperToMe (talk) 02:00, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the list. One question though. Do you have an actual list somewhere? I'm trying to understand what you mean when you give vague descriptions as "Various city facilities and schools". Blacktupelo (talk) 02:18, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

I put the specific sites (with postal addresses) in their respective talk pages, but I can also copy them onto this list if you want WhisperToMe (talk) 02:19, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

For the ones not clearly specified above, it would be helpful. BTW, I don't see a photo request in the Talk page of DeMatha? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:DeMatha_Catholic_High_School Blacktupelo (talk) 02:27, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Ok! For some of these, I haven't placed the talk page request yet. I'll do so ASAP WhisperToMe (talk) 02:34, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

That list is great! Thank you, I'll see what I can do. Blacktupelo (talk) 03:31, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

You're welcome! If Bowie is convenient to you, I can add places from that area WhisperToMe (talk) 05:14, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Ooof, that list is more than enough for now. I hope to make progress on it at some point, and as I do, I'll link to the pictures in my user page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Blacktupelo Blacktupelo 19:51, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
