Understood... I have not used wiki before so please forgive me.

A few of us are trying to help our good friends on the Fir. Are you a wiki mod?

Thanks,

Hi there. Do me a favor and take a look at WP:Gallery. If you take a look at that guideline you will see that your excessive addition of images is not in keeping with our best practices. I added the Commons Category template in the "External links" section so those images can be easily accessible.

Additionally, please do not restore unsourced statements that have been removed, unless you can cite them with a reliable source. Cheers. EricSerge (talk) 19:42, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, I just wanted to see that a new editor was pointed in the right direction. If you take the time to read over the basics in the welcome message I left you at the top of the page, it demystifies all of the standards and practices.

You asked if I am a "mod", I am not. We refer to them as administrators on Wikipedia. Thanks for the answer, now I am going to remove the excess pictures. Just because they are not in the article, does not mean they are not accessible. You can still get to all of them down in the "External links" section in the box that refers to the pictures category over at Wikimedia Commons. Cheers.
