I am trying to contact Valley2city about the photograph posted on Wikimedia entitled Kosher McDonalds in Beit She'an, Israel. I have contacted McDonalds and they do not own the trademark or copyright for this photograph. Would you know of any other entity that I should contact in order to determine the trademark or copyright status of this photograph? Please email your response to connie@mentoringminds.com.

Thank you, Sharlenemoore (talk) 19:23, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Possible nomination of a GA article for FA status.

Hi Valley2city. Your user page seems to indicate a good editing background/peer review possibility in Israel-Holocaust related articles. I am thinking of recommending a page upgrade for a GA article to FA article status which may involve the reading of one key book if this might be possible for you. The book is the popularly received "Evil and the God of Love" and the wikipage has presently under-represented the important Holocaust-related issues. Any possible interest?

Research project

Hello Valley2city! I'm writing on your Talkpage because I'm doing some research on collaborative websites and applications and I would like to interview you on your role in Wikipedia. I'm from Chile, so the interview would be through Skype or similar, and it would last about an hour. If you're interested please answer, or contact me through e-mail on pvalenzuela1@uc.cl. Thanks in advance! Pvalenzuela1 (talk) 14:44, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
