New Rattlesnake Edit

Hey, I was just curious as to why User:New Rattlesnake Edit is in the user namespace. Are you using this as a temporary holding spot for this page? tiZom_(2¢) 19:59, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi tiZom. You are correct that it is a temporary holding spot. I was hoping to get some feed back on the talk page of rattlesnake to see if the re-worked article was acceptable. The original article was tagged for quality standards and copy editing. If you'd like to add your own thoughts on either article, they would be appreciated.

Hello, and greetings from England! I've moved your fine Rattlesnake proposals to User:Surreal/New Rattlesnake Edit. From what I understand, this is the normal place to store such things.

I think if you put things at "user:new rattlesnake edit" and someone creates an account called "new rattlesnake edit", your article would become thier user page. On the other hand, you're allowed to create "user sub-pages" which are like your user page - they're basically intended for stuff like this.

What you did wasn't really wrong, this is just a "more right" way of doing it :-). p.s. good work on the article changes! Mike1024 (t/c) 23:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip on creating user pages. I thought I had created a sub page, but as you pointed out, i was lacking a small piece of the syntax.

Unspecified source for Image:Ridgenose.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ridgenose.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:18, 5 March 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU≈talk 21:18, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

NowCommons: File:Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake.jpg

File:Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 02:49, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

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 Surreal. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Surreal~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
