TMI campus

Thank you so much for photographing the TMI campus! I added the pics to Japanese articles. WhisperToMe (talk) 22:18, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

My pleasure! I am a TMI Academy alumnus myself, 1976-1980.Joebedford (talk) 12:01, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Do you take photos in the Sweetwater area? If so I can suggest several things that would be helpful to Wikipedia WhisperToMe (talk) 18:23, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Not as a rule. I live fifty miles away. Still, feel free to share your list. I'll either plan a day down that way, or reach out to friends in the area. Perhaps I could use this as an excuse to get my wife to let me buy a new camera. :-) Joebedford (talk) 18:39, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Ok! I'll be happy to post a list of sites in Sweetwater.

Those related to TMG/TMI:

• A version of the school sign without the temporary TMI markings
• Any other buildings accessible by the public.

If/when any photos are taken I can ask Japanese Wikipedians to add descriptions in Japanese.

I finally made it down to Sweetwater. Unfortunately, I was not able to get any photos at TMI/TMG. The school sign that you requested is no longer there, and no part of the campus is publicly accessible at this time. I did get photos of all the other locations you mentioned. I uploaded them under the category "Sweetwater, Tennessee". This is my first time uploading photos to Wikipedia, so hopefully I did everything correctly. I did update the Sweetwater High School page with the new photo. I was not certain how the other photos would best be utilized, so I did not do anything with them. Thanks for the suggestions, I had fun, please let me know if I can be of further assistance! Have a great day. Joebedford (talk) 13:22, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
