I wanted to add a picture of the Civil Rights Memorial that I took about a year ago. I think this would greatly improve that page as well as Maya Lin's page (the architect), but I ran into two problems.
First: the date that the picture was taken appears on the picture. Second: I wanted to copyright my image, but was not sure how to follow the format.
I would be grateful if someone could give me step by step instructions on either of these.
Heyyy it's Jonathan The Cheet! heh.
If you want to focus on just one taxonomic area, there's a lot to be done for articles on mollusks (snail, Gastropoda, slug, Helix (genus), etc.) and insects, also the bird article. People are currently active working on mussel, emperor penguin and pollination. It's a good idea to tag onto the heels of a group of people. If find editing as a group is more fun, and it is the quickest way to learn everything there is to know. If you want to join a Wikiproject, Wikipedia:WikiProject Amphibians and Reptiles has been newly formed, and all the people are really great. If you're interested in mollusks, I'd be happy to start a Wikiproject with you.
There are quite a few articles that are well-written but do not have any references at all. Adding those references is hard work sometimes, but will get you a lot of credit and could lead to the articles becoming featured articles.
If you want to work on evolution articles, please ask me again, and I'll try and find some that need work. It's a good idea to nominate things on WP:AID, WP:SCOTW or WP:JI if you want to work on them, this will make other people aware of your efforts and might get you a few collaborators. When the article is good enough (generally means a few useful illustrations, and plenty of printed references, but check the criteria), you can nominate it for WP:GA.
