Vote for me!

One of my photographs has been nominated to be the Showcase Picture for the London Portal on Wikipedia. It's a favorite of mine, contributed under an alias, illustrating one of London's great treasures, Sheila Gallagher, whom I met one sunny June morning. You may see it here

but it doesn't show on the main page for some reason, perhaps because I'm not a wikipedia memeber ?

Thanks, Bill! You put your comment at the end of the article after a bunch of HTML. I've moved it and it shows up now.

Yes, I'm rather confused too. I saw your comment, Bill, but you're right, it's just sitting there. And I for one couldn't even get mine to show ANYWHERE. I wasn't sure where to put it after I clicked on edit, and do we have to use some sort of HTML? Hellllp!

Just copy my bolded italicked text above, change it to reflect your support or opposition, and paste it in under the other votes for my picture. Wikipedia is something anybody can edit, and no, you don't need to use HTML. If you make a mistake, somebody will come along and fix it.

You added it at the end of the page, after some HTML stuff. I've moved it up above this and it shows up now. I've also made an entry in the discussion page so that the regular wikifolk will know what's going on. The history page will show when each change was made, along with your IP address. It's obvious that the vote is being stacked, so I came clean aboit it. Because I'm proud of that picture, and prouder still that I got to meet Sheila Gallagher. And even more proud that I have such a great group of friends. You rock!

Thanks, Pete. But I too really did like it best. It was the most visually interesting.

I really did like it best-even if I didn't know you. So many of the others could have been any great building in any town. I like it.

Congratulations! I really liked yours better than the others, too, even if I didn't know you. I left out the phrase "got my vote". Will they fix that, too, or should I edit it?

[molyneux66.livejournal.com]

Well done, Pete! How exciting...off to investigate & vote of course now!

Hey, wasn't it just last week I was asking for your vote? Seems only fair to return the favor. ;)
Great photo.

[alrescate.livejournal.com]

I added my vote. I wasn't able to get the word "Support" to show in bold but I'm sure someone will come a long and fix it.

Nice photo Pete!

Done!
