• I generally upload:
  • NASA public domain images and videos (mainly Shuttle and ISS images)
  • White House photographs
  • Higher resolution and better quality versions of images already on the Commons
• See my uploads at my user log.
• I also make minor edits, including:
  • Categorization changes, moving files, linking descriptions, adding image dates, adding source information, etc.
  • Fixing broken whitehouse.gov image source links from the Bush administration. In most cases, you can simply replace "http://www.whitehouse.gov" with "http://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov" and leave the rest of the URI. Find links to old Clinton administration images at http://www.clintonlibrary.gov/archivesearch.html.
