Unfortunately, right now the usernames are different for the Wikipedias in different languages. I think the programmers are working on the common sign-in option, though, so that we won't need to have different userpages! I hope that all goes well on the Greek Wikipedia. Mamawrites ^{& listens} 09:02, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

You figured out how to edit your user page!

Good job! I hope you don't mind... I put in a few more <br> so that it looks OK on my laptop screen, which is rather narrow. Now just remember when you write something on a talk page, to sign it using three or four tildes (~~~ or ~~~~). Mamawrites ^{& listens} 10:19, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi, please never rename articles by cut-and-pasting the contents. It makes it hard to trace the page histories. Always use the "move" button for moving articles! jni 11:51, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Société Générale

Hi Alkiviadis, trying to translate your excellent article about the french bank Société Générale into German, I read ocaisonally, that you speak German too. So may be, you can help me, because I think, you are extremly familiar with the banking language: How would you translate "mutual fund management business" into German? Although speaking English on an advanced level and using different dictonairies, I didn't find a translation, that really fits. Translating it literal, it would be "Gegenseitigkeitsmanagementgeschäft" or "Mehrzweckfondsmanagementgeschäft", but I do not know anything like this in banking business. Would you please describe a "mutual fund"? If you like to read my complete translation before publishing, please give me a note on my talk page. Best regards and thanks! --Rosa Lux 23:55, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Rosa Lux, sorry to be so late at my answer but I hadn't been checking wikipedia for a long time. So, I suppose that "mutual fund management business" would be best translated in German as "Investmentfondsmanagementgeschäft".

I hope I helped, (Alkiviadis 11:50, 29 March 2006 (UTC))

Orphaned non-free media (Image:SG logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:SG logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 15:00, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Metro Athens Syntagma 2.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Metro Athens Syntagma 2.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 10:35, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
