Wikiproject

Howdy! As a current or past contributor to a related article, I thought I'd let you know about WikiProject Texas A&M, a collaborative effort to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Texas A&M University. If you would like to participate, you can visit the project page, where you can join the project and see a list of open tasks and related articles. Thanks and Gig 'em! — BQZip01 — talk 06:06, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Gates & Boots image

I don't think the image you posted with Secretary Gates and his boots needs to be on the Texas A&M page as it adds nothing and pertains to nothing directly on the page. Furthermore, it is a duplicate of Image:RobertGates_TAMU_SeniorBoots.JPEG already on many other pages, you don't have appropriate attribution, etc. I'll be nominating it for deletion later since it isn't necessary. Good image add though. — BQZip01 — ^talk 06:06, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

BTW, (just an FYI) the other image is already in use on:

• Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets
• Gig 'em Aggies
• Traditions of Texas A&M University
• Types of gestures
• List of Texas Aggie terms

...so it isn't being covered up! :-) — BQZip01 — ^talk 06:10, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Let me help you out here: This image is copyrighted and cannot be used unless it meets specific criteria. If it meets that criteria, each use on Wikipedia should be annotated with a Fair Use rationale.
