   Nice work Richard.
   Two questions to you, the quote you chose seems pretty straight forward in describing the crime, while I’m guessing you have a more nuanced interest in the poetic name of the article. The quote seems like a pretty straight forward reading. Another interesting quote is this one:

   Many local ordinances prohibiting disturbance of the peace exhibit a problematic degree of vagueness, occasionally to the point that courts deem them unconstitutional (in United States law) or violative of due process (in both United States and Commonwealth jurisdictions).

   Your thoughts?

   + The image manipulation is very nice. Was the original image CC-licensed? Does it require attribution/link?

   ++ I like the composition you chose with the vast whitespace at the top. For Wikipedia however you might need to trim it a bit as space and size might be a concern.

   I definitely see this one as a good candidate to make it into the pages of Wikipedia! Nice job…

     Thanks. I think that quote can work well with the image. The original images are CC-BY. I have the links here.

       So are you saying the current quote works for you or do you want me to change the quote to the one I suggested?

       + I think if you crop the work a bit it would be ready to upload the work to Wikipedia, give the right credit to the CC-BY works you used there and embed it in the article. Right?

         Yes, I prefer the quote that you suggested and give right credit to the works in the links. Also I uploaded a cropped version of the image to this site in the media library. I’d like to get your opinion on the cropping before being uploaded to wikipedia. Do you think that it is fine as it is or should I cut off a little more of the whitespace?

           Why not upload a new post with the updated image and then link to it? That way we’ll be able to follow the progression of your work.
