Welcome to Wikipedia, Jarvis76! I am Marek69 and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message!

Images on Istanbul
editI see you're a frequent contributor to the Istanbul article. Since I started with the WikiProject Turkey years back, I've been meaning to be more involved in this article. I saw on the discussion page that you had some creative differences with regards to the number and placement of images with some other users. As part of being involved here, I'd like to begin by working to improve the image use, and to make them more encyclopedic. By that I mean that they could be more informative or reflective of the text they're placed next to. I'd say a good image use would be putting city hall in the Administration section, but a bad usage would be things like "traditional waterfront houses" in Demographics, the Burberry store in "Urbanism", or the map of the Istanbul Park Circuit. These add very little about the subject they're placed next to. I also left some comments on this topic on the talk page. If it would help everyone, I'd be willing to go one by one over the images, so the community can decide which are the best and shouldn't be removed.--Patrick «» 06:55, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
