Re: Joseph Cinqué edit
Hi Jim! I'm glad you appreciated my edit. About how I ended up there, well, I'd say it's the problem witk Wikipedia...
Well, actually, it was recent enough for me to remember. You see, I am cape-verdean, and I recently read a news article about the Amistad replica ship, sayong it would stop in Cape Verde during its tour over the Atlantic. From there, and considering I have watched the film, it wasnt hard to get into Cinqué, which I edited to add some useful links. By editing it, the article was automatically stored in my watchlist (since I selected this setting in my preferences), so I was informed when you edited the article, and I came to see what you did :)
About the bank note, as far as I can tell, it is indeed possible to upload bank notes. See Wikipedia:Free image resources#Banknotes and coins for some info regarding this. Additionally, don't forget to add this info on List of people on banknotes and maybe List of motifs on banknotes. Cheers, Waldir talk 22:22, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- Out of curiosity, I investigated, and found two usable 5000 leone notes: from 1993 and from 2002. See http://www.worldpapermoney.org/sierra_leone.htm for several more banknotes from Sierra Leone. Waldir talk 22:37, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- I uploaded some Cape-Verdean notes to commons. If you want to see how I did (which info I added, what templates/categories I used, etc.), they're here: commons:Category:Banknotes of Cape Verde. Waldir talk 21:59, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
