@Billybob2002: I'm confused as to why you are edit warring to include your personal photo of "Red River Range", a non-notable shooting range in a West Fargo industrial area. At MOS:IMAGES, a consensus of editors have agreed that images must be "significant and relevant in the topic's context, not primarily decorative", and an "important illustrative aid to understanding". Moreover, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collector of information, travel guide, or personal photo gallery. Could you please explain? Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:41, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Red River Shooting Range is a popular attraction to West Fargo and is frequently cited in news articles I have found on the web. If it's only your own opinion that it is non-notable, then that is not a good enough reason to exclude it from the article.

Press releases and run-of-the-mill local coverage, similar to an Amazon fulfillment center going up. Hardly significant or relevant to the topic, per MOS:IMAGERELEVANCE. --Magnolia677 (talk) 10:15, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
