Hello Brandon, As Dr Obar, probably mentioned I am one of the two Campus Ambassadors for your class - hopefully I will be able to come in person and say hello but till then, I wanted to say welcome to the class and feel free to ask me any questions you may have.

More information needed about File:Brooks pic.JPG edit

Thanks for uploading File:Brooks pic.JPG. However, it needs some more information before it is okay to use on Wikipedia.

Please click here and do the following:

  1. Add a description of where the image is from and who the author is. Please be specific, and include a link if possible.
  2. Find the appropriate license from the list of free, non-free media, or public domain options. Copy the license template and paste it in the file's page, and save.

If you follow these steps, your image can help enhance Wikipedia. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the media copyright questions page.

Disambiguation link notification for April 17 edit

Hi. When you recently edited Internet bottleneck, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page BitTorrent (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Notification of automated file description generation edit

Your upload of File:Brandon Brooks in mountain valley.JPG or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!
