Hello there. I noticed you've uploaded some useful pictures from the Minnesota Historical Society website, but checking their site it says that "Images reproduced from the collections of the Minnesota Historical Society are for viewing and personal use only. Permission for commercial use or any publication, manipulation, display or distribution is only granted by written application to the Minnesota Historical Society." - if you're someone who works at the society who is trying to release these images into the creative commons, then that's great, but we'd need some sort of website or email proof to confirm that the society is okay with this. If this is the case, I can talk you through it.
If you're just trying to help out the project by uploading some public-domain-seeming pictures you found on a website, though, I'm afraid these images will have to be deleted, as it appears the MHS has not granted their commercial reuse. -- McGeddon ( talk) 09:56, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
