			===Then and now photographs===
			If you have a modern photograph of a place that also appears in a historic image, you can present the two together as a draggable '''[[Help:Before-after slider\|before/after slider]]''' – readers wipe between the old and new view. Line the two shots up first with the free [https://nearmark.co.uk/rephoto Rephoto app] (download and how-to), so the wipe lines up cleanly. See [[Help:Before-after slider]] for step-by-step instructions.

			==Logos==
			This wiki uses a large number of logos, mainly illustrating LGBT organisations. We have been fairly free in using these, and have not sought permission from the organisations in question, for reasons similar to those used on Wikipedia (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Logos). See also LGBT Archive:Copyrights.

			Some of the logos we have used come from Wikimedia Commons. The larger number however have been uploaded to this Wiki (mainly downloaded from the organisation's own websites) and are listed at Category:Logos.

			If you represent an organisation and feel we have used your logo inappropriately, please get in touch. And if you can supply a logo that we don' have, particularly one dating from pre-Internet days, we would be very glad to hear from you.

	This wiki needs more '''Photographs'''. Ideally, every article should have an illustration (or more than one) and in particular articles about people (since the invention of photography) should have a photograph. But we can't use any old photograph that happens to be on the web, because of copyright restrictions.		This wiki needs more '''Photographs'''.
