Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:Kew Brige Steam Museum, kbsmtower.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Kbsmtower.jpg. The copy called Image:Kbsmtower.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 15:00, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Kew Bridge Steam Museum

Hi. It is good to see that this page is being updated. It would be great to see many more details of the engines in the collection and further information about the works itself (for example, the reason for the tower).

Please do not (re-)add details of 'forthcoming events'. Wikipedia is not an advertising service. You must be content that there is a reference to the fact that special events take place (my original edit also mentioned that these were in particular special fields, but you removed that).

Could you please explain the reason for removing the information regarding the MWB railway? The information was sourced from the KBSM site, so the museum is presumably not ashamed to publicise the connections.

NOTE - Since the Kempton Park engines could be regarded as 'competitors', you must be very careful to avoid a possible conflict of interest with your editing - especially considering your choice of user name!

As you would see from my edits, I am very much a steam enthusiast and support the work of the KBSM. However, there are standards to be maintained within WP, or it will not be taken seriously. Hence I try to edit this kind of article to retain as much 'promotion' for the site without breaking any WP rules -- other editors may not be so lenient.

Looking forward to more detail for this article, and the others relating to steam engines.

COPYRIGHT PHOTO - you are not permitted to use copyrighted photos on Wikipedia. They must be in the public domain. Presumably, as the originator of that photo, you can release it into the public domain, and it may then be used here. I replaced your deleted photo with the free-use one that I found on Wikimedia Commons. Your photo is much better, but the one I selected is the best available for use at this time. (See the preceding entry on this talk page, and, no doubt, the following one too!)

Other comments - please see my talk page...
