Hi, saw your stub writeup at Medical Marijuana. Just to let you know, there is already a long, detailed article at Medical marijuana, so I changed your article into a redirect. Article titles are case-sensitive except for the first letter which is always capitalized, so please check that you are using proper capitalization (using Google if necessary) before creating new articles. This is an easy mistake to make when you're not used to it so don't worry about it too much but it's always a good idea to do a bit of research before creating new entries.

Thanks NTK, I'll get the hang of this. Had to make a first stab at it... Oh well :-). User:Jkl sem 06:44, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
== Copyright notices ==
Heya, please note copyright notices go on image pages, not in the main article. User:Fvw --User:fvw*">User talk:Fvw 08:49, 2004 Dec 20 (UTC)
:Also, the GFDL is incompatible with restrictions like "for non-commercial use only", so you can either license the image under the GFDL, or you can put on a more restricted license. We try to avoid non-free pictures though, so unless they're unique pictures chances are they'll be removed or replaced.

::Thanks for the welcome & feedback. To address your points:
::1 - Thanks, I'll remove the copyright notice on the Haystack Rock page (strike that... noticed you already did...)
:::Yeah, they weren't kidding around with that "edited mercilessly" warning at the bottom of the page *grins*.
::2 - I licensed under the GFDL, and then added my own "requests" beneath. Consider the GFDL to be formal, and my typing underneath to be a request to the viewer. IMO, 'non-commercial use only' is fairly free, altho not strictly keeping with the GFDL. I've seen user statements "all over the map" on people's picture pages, including no indication at all of where the picture came from (i.e. blank).
:::Ah ok, you might want to make it clear that the "for non-profit only" part is only a request, not a part of the license, if nothing else then to avoid people like me pointing out that that clause and the GFDL are contradictory.
::3 - All the pictures I added are completely unique (i.e. I took them myself, if that's what you mean by unique?). User:Jkl sem 18:25, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
:::I meant more along the lines of "cannot be created by others", like images of the kennedy assassination and the like. But it's not like people go around deleting non-free images when they're useful to an article without replacing them, so no worries.
:::Oh by the way: You can make pretty numbered lists without having to remember at which number you were by prefixing each item with a hash mark (#), like so:
#One
#Two
#Three
:::The same goes for unnumbered lists, with a star (*)
*Like
*This
*you
*see?

::OK, I'll change the descriptions later on today. Basically, what I intended is that I'll piss, moan, whine and complain if the images are used commercially, but I can't/won't sue because under the GFDL people can legally do that (which makes the images completely free, except for my potential loud griping, grin...). Anyways... thnks User:Jkl sem 19:34, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

==About User Jkl_Sem==
Greetings -- I'm new to Wikipedia. I live in the Seattle, Washington area (USA) and am currently out of work (so I have a ton of free time on my hands).
I enjoy fixing typos and grammatical errors, so please don't take offense! They just jump out at me, and hopefully I've helped make your entry look more professional.
Larger versions of the pictures I've placed on this website (as well as others covering the same subjects) are available for commercial/noncommercial use -- max resolution is 1024x768 in .jpg format. Please [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Emailuser&target=Jkl_sem contact me] if interested.
Thanks for dropping by my page... more to come later.
