I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Dear Mr. Avenaim,

First off, I'd like to thank you for contributing your work to Wikipedia and the Commons. There's a far distance between your work and mine, and Wikipedia is much better off for it.

The subject of photo credits has been brought up in the past here. Consensus has generally been to avoid crediting the photographer in the caption, assuming that the image's description page is sufficient. A recent lengthy discussion, in which you were praised, can be found here. That's an archived discussion, so if there's anything you wish to respond to, you should do it in a new section on the active page.

Again, thank you, and I hope to see more of you and your work around. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 01:26, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Again, per those discussions, please do not add the credit to the article. Your work is certainly appreciated, but the credit is already clearly noted on the photo file pages. --Ckatz^chat _spy 17:37, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I actually just restored it, per this comment from Durova. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:57, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
