Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia. I am just assuming you are new since I only see two edits under this user name. Thanks for the additions to HemisFair '68, keep 'em coming. I created the article and would love to see it expanded more. If you can add references to the additions that would even be better. Use the drop-down menu under Templates at the top of the edit box and choose the appropriate one. They are pretty self-explanatory how to fill in. Do you have any images from the fair you would be willing to add? You must own the copyright and be willing to release under a Creative Commons share alike license. I can help if you need any.

I've added some quick and dirty media references to the additions for you; I wasn't able to easily find anything on the 2012 HPARC renovations, but I'm sure they're out there. I concur with Nv8200p - I would love to see this article develop and will assist you in any way. Kuru (talk) 23:33, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello and thank you for your welcome :) I am a resident of San Antonio and am a World's Fair enthusiast, and an avid collector of HemisFair '68. In 2011 I launched my own website www.worldsfair68.info to share my growing collection and knowledge of all things HemisFair. I have visited this page before and thought it would be fun to add a handful of info about the Fair. I just took a try at revising my posting from earlier and added some citations, looking for an article citation for the hotel. Question on images; in my collecting I have purchased 100+ Kodachrome slides from the fair where I have made my own scans of for upload to my website, I would be happy to share some on this page, would this meet the copyright requirement? Also; I created my website as a fun hobby project which as an informative commentary only, I thought I add a link here so readers can have access to my site as well, does this create any issues with promoting? Thanks - worldsfair68Worldsfair68 (talk) 03:32, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Unless you also purchased the copyright to the images, they cannot be used on Wikipedia in most cases. There would have to be a legitimate fair use claim, which would probably be hard to justify. Here is more info: Wikipedia:Image use policy. Generally promoting your own website is considered a conflict of interest, but your site is non-commercial and seems to be neutral and provides reliable sources so I believe it will stand. You might want to create a profile about yourself, your hobby and web site on your user page. -Nv8200p talk 13:17, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
