would like to add a photo to the Green card spam page

I only have experience editing text in wikipedia. I would like to add a photo to the Green card spam page. It is of my "green card lawers -- spamming the globe" t-shirt that I bought back during the green card spam days. Maybe you can give me some feedback on whether any of the editors of that page will object?

Thanks!

@Gwillis: I think that sounds like a great idea and very on-topic for that page. The biggest concern is that uploading an image of someone else's artwork to Wikipedia can run afoul of intellectual property law. The image could be uploaded under the fair use doctrine in order to display it specifically on that one page. Alternatively, as it happens, I personally know Jay Furr, who designed the "Spamming The Globe" t-shirt. I'll ask him if he'd be willing to release the image under a CC license. —Tim Pierce (talk) 17:27, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Request from beyond the grave

In 2007, you requested an image of the "Amstel Tower windmill" at Talk:Windmill. You either have got the wrong name or need to be more specific. The Amstel Tower is a to-be-built residential tower, while there are various tower-like windmills along the Amstel river. Could you please indicate which one you were refering to (maybe even with google maps links/coordinates)? --HyperGaruda (talk) 11:10, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

If you're referring to this edit, it was an image request that someone else had made on another page. The original request was:

I would much appreciate some good images showing mechanical details of - specifically - the Amstel Tower windmill. I can find an image showing the front of the mill, but details are not brilliant and nowhere can I find images of the mechanics of turning the cap - which are at the rear of the mill and also up on the skirt. I would also like to see better details of the doors and windows in these mills - Tower mills especially, where only the cap and sails are turned in to the wind, not the entire post. --FranOnTheEdge 07:30, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

If you need more information then you should ask them. —Tim Pierce (talk) 01:47, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Thanks for your time anyways! --HyperGaruda (talk) 06:42, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
