The link for the example was useful and I appreciate it, as well as the link to the 'Source Needed' page. I also agree with the decision that all new pics should follow the new policy.

I do want to be clear on a few things though, lest what I said be taken out of context:

I wasn't trying to imply that a mountain of work should be forced on people who have contributed greatly to the site - I mean two of my fave people here are Essie and PikovajaDama. They've been INVALUABLE when it comes to getting some of the most unique camera angles and some of the best pics here at the wiki. I don't think the workload SHOULD be dumped on them (or other past contributors) simply because they helped out in the first place.

Also, I believe that my past record of trying to reach an accord with various other members of this wiki speaks for itself. I try to avoid arguments (though not always successfully) and am one of the first to try to come to an agreement or offer advice if I can.

That being said, my current grievances stem from the fact that it appears certain persons want certain things done or policies changed, yet they're ill-prepared to take on the task when it comes time to do so. They suddenly want 'the community' to pitch in and help, when in truth the majority of the community neither asked for nor wanted this change to begin with.

I in no way mean the above to imply you, Molotov, or any of the other active admins here who work hard to keep our site as well-maintained as it is, as your efforts have always been helpful and are always appreciated.

What I'm saying is, if I want something done, or a change to take place (especially something I may relate to an admin that would effect policy) I plan to pitch in the majority of the effort to get said objective accomplished. If I don't expect to contribute the bulk of the workload, I simply don't bring it up.

Also, since a portion of the pics were added as favors to me by others, I plan to lend aid as best I can to help bring at least some of the plethora of images up to the new policy standard.
