Hi,

I can't manage to get a picture up and running. Could someone help out?

What picture is it, and have you checked Help:Images#Copyrights first? --Robert W King 10:03, 20 July 2007 (CDT)

Additionally, please remember to sign your comments with --~~~~ after your statement, or by clicking the signature button in the edit box.--Robert W King 10:05, 20 July 2007 (CDT)

What about one of these? [1] [2]? --Kjetil Ree 10:28, 20 July 2007 (CDT)

Those are both great! Make sure to read the information in the CZ Policy link about flickr photos. Also, read the instructions provided on the "upload file" navigation link on the left side under "toolbox". --Robert W King 10:34, 20 July 2007 (CDT)

Deeply important topic, this.  ;-) --Larry Sanger 10:09, 20 July 2007 (CDT)

Guinness is best from the tap!--Robert W King 10:06, 20 July 2007 (CDT)

Hey, feel free to post it up or whatever, just a rough stub, hoping someone could post up more - I may be Irish, but don't expect me to be an expert on stout! Denis Cavanagh

Iconic, please 'move'!

I have never met anyone in my many years of life on this planet who refers to this substance as "Guinness beer". "Guinness stout", yes.

Most people just say "Guinness", and if you've been living in a cave all your life and have never heard of it, tant pis.

I will move this to Guinness if there are no objections.

Probably Guinness (beer) is more appropriate. I can't think of any other Guinesses off hand but this page is sure to be a redirect eventually. Geez, I'm thirsty just talking about it... --Joe Quick (Talk) 17:12, 26 July 2007 (CDT)

Nah, that's what disambiguation is for. The more I think of it, the more certain I am that Guinness stout owns the name. Even the Book of World Records is related. Aleta Curry 17:31, 26 July 2007 (CDT)

AS Guiness is not a beer, it would be rather odd for it to be called such! The normal usage is simply Guiness, although technically it is a stout. Aleta's page move is correct.--Martin Baldwin-Edwards 21:09, 26 July 2007 (CDT)

The problem with just "Guinness" as a name is that it is also the name of Guinness Book of World Records, and Sir Alec. --Larry Sanger 22:45, 26 July 2007 (CDT)

Can we turn this into a disambig? Geoffrey Plourde 22:42, 26 July 2007 (CDT)
