Thanks for the note. On the Byways.org site, the way it works is, if there are any restrictions on usage, it will let you know when you select the size you want to download. If you don't see any such message, then it's free for use. For example, see [1]. Click an image size to download and you are immediately presented with the terms of use. If an image is unavailable for use, on the other hand, then you can't even download it to begin with (see [2]). Hope that helps. howcheng {chat} 06:17, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I thought about making some sort of boilerplate notice that explains precisely that but then I'd have to go back through the hundreds of images I've uploaded and fix it, so I'm just lazy. :) howcheng {chat} 16:08, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Infobox Mountain

I haven't been keeping up with the changes much n the mountains project (of which I am a "member"), so I was unaware of the changes to the infobox...on the article Granite Peak (Montana) the coordinates don't all fit in the space provided..perhaps this is my browsers fault. The infobox is also larger it seems than the older one and takes up a lot of space on the page. Any suggestions?--MONGO 02:38, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I think I must have messed up the first time I did the infobox, but I adjusted it and now is fine.--MONGO 02:51, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Madrean Sky Islands Image

I emailed Peter Warshall to see if the image was his, or produced by USGS staff. He replied thus:

Tom

I think its fine to use the image. Just credit USGS and myself. I gave them a sketch and they did it. So its public domain with my permission.

Thanks

Peter

To the Mt Whitney Hiker: Thanks, for resolving that Image status. I was busy using that Madrean sky islands image, as you probably noticed. And, I put it on the Mule Mountain page, I couldn't help trying to get the pic out there on one more page.

And I envy your recent hikings off of 395, I was on Whitney back in 1970 or so. Happy trails!......(I left a note at Tom Radulovich's page). ....MichaelMcAnnisYumaAz--Mmcannis 18:18, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Mount Stuart image

Oops! I just totally forgot to transfer those two lines over. Thanks for catching that. -- Spireguy 17:30, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Hikipedia

Hello,

I've noticed that you have submitted a few nice contributions to the article about Mount Si.

I am currently gathering feedback about the Hikipedia project (which also includes an article about Mount Si). Could you please give me some feedback about the Hikipedia site? Would you consider contributing to Hikipedia?

I know that one can add trail descriptions to a regular Wikipedia, but there are quite a few things that would be too difficult too acomplish: trail-oriented search, embedded weather forecast, voting for trail difficulty and enjoyability, trail reports, links and images of guidebooks. Additionally it is impossible to use content from Wikipedia in a leaflet or advertisment (because of "invariant sections" requirement of Gnu license).

Please let me know what you think about Hikipedia (you can use the feedback page, or reply here).

Thank you for your time,

Lukasz Anforowicz

Tuolumne sources

Hi, I don't have any sources for that article. I know about that area because I saw it with my own eyes. --Smack (talk) 03:17, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Lone Indian

We came over the divide, from Lake Edison, and we didn't actually stay at the Lone Indian. We spent our last night at Wilbur May, and hiked all the way back to the trailhead from there. --Smack (talk) 16:34, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Tioga Pass

Hey,

In an edit to the Tioga Pass article, you removed a photo I had uploaded for the article, calling it incorrect. Could you explain the logic? I realize it looks a bit like Toulumne Meadows, but I can assure you, my back was about 100 yards from the park enterance when I shot that photo.

I think the image adds to the article; the first one is a close-up of some hikers on a trail, but I think the second image, with the wider angle shows more of what a casual hiker or even someone on a scenic drive who doesn't leave their car would see.

So with that in mind, I'd like to put the photo back in the article - I think it belongs there - but I'm wondering if there's something I don't realize, or looking at things the wrong way?

Thanks!

Forrest

Tioga Pass

Thanks for clearing up the confusion regarding Tioga Pass. Now I completely understand why you removed the photo - I see someone put it back up and added a more fit description. You suggested another photo I shot that might be a better match, of Tioga Lake looking back at the Pass, and as luck would have it, I shot two photos that day, with one of them zoomed in quite a bit more to show the mountains making up Tioga Pass looming over the water. So I've donated that under Creative Commons license, and added it.
