fun story about security in and around beijing...

Good work, but I recommend against flagging your own stuff... it looks kinda weird. If it's good, people will see it, especially if it's regarding an event as big as this.

I'd call that a bug in the software.. tell tippet to put one of the dev to fix that.. ;)
and yeah i'll stop good stuffing my own piece. Live from Beijing, scales' out!

Robert Scales, when free photos are solicited from Flickr, the people who contribute them are invited to write a caption.
If you do not like the photos that wind up on your stories, you may simply use the "moderate" tab on your story to delete what you don't like. As a Super Editor, I would have supposed that you know both these things.
Attacking someone who's just given a photo, for free, to NP, that it can also use for later re-sale, isn't, IMHO, either very "cool" personally or something that will empower NP in getting lots of free stuff.

Beijing PopFestival 2007. Three Colums Fans, one Colum of scared security guys.. While Public Enemy (The "band's name" in beijing was "PE" because the designers' were not allowed to write their full name.. ;) was shouting "Public Enemy Number One", "Fight The Power", and "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back" was a quite nice matching songs for the great p.r.of china).. Incredible! Supposed to be the last BeijingPopFestival..

Thank you to everyone for the wonderful photos!

I did not have an issue with the pictures, just the fact that they related to an event that happens several months before my post and completely non related.
as for picture selections, as a SE on the site, i am just getting used to the tools..
I apologies if my comment where offensive or seemed like an attack, it was not my intent!

I was walking around the streets of Beijing when I came across this security drill.
