Image:Panagiotis.jpg

Hi, I noticed while looking through the non-free image categories that you had uploaded an imageImage:Panagiotis.jpg with the {{Cc-by-nd-2.0}} license. Unfortunately, this is not a free license on Wikipedia. You indicated that you had obtained permission from the original author of the image. Did the permission specify the exact license, or would the permission you obtained permit you to change the image to use the free {{Cc-by-sa-2.0}} license? If the permission specified the non-free license, would it be possible for you to contact the author again and obtain permission to use a more-free license such as the GFDL or a free CC license? Thank you. BigDT 13:32, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm really new to Wikipedia, and I don't understand all of the license tags yet. When I asked the author about using his photo, he didn't specify which license he wanted it posted with, so I was under the assumption that he is fine with it being used on Wikipedia but not elsewhere. I don't know what kind of license that would merit. Please help me understand the differences. --Skyscraper 22:56, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Your edit summary usage

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field - please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Skyscraper. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Skyscraper~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
