Bristol Bisons
editCongratulations on your first article it's shaping up nicely. One question about the logo - you posted it on commons as your own work. Do you really own the copyright on it? It looks very much like a download from a website to me and if it is then it's not your own work. If it isn't then ask for it to be deleted from Commons and load it here using under the non-free content guidelines (see Wikipedia:Logos for more detail. Sorry if I sound a bit suspicious but copyright violation is taken very seriously (it's about the worst thing you can do on Wikiepedia) and I'd hate to see you get into trouble if it's a recrifiable mistake.
