[edit] the door
Please don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. In the old days, and for however briefly we used to call it "twat". -- carol (talk) 16:22, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
- I have had time to consider "giggy" vs "twat". Just look at the rhyming options:
- "Giggy": biggy, diggy, HIGgy, piggy
- "Twat": blot, swat, squat, kumquat
[edit] New Images
Hey there Giggy, I don't do much with images, so I was hoping that you could check out two that I just uploaded File:WPT Champion Bracelet 2.JPG and File:WPT Champion Bracelet.JPG. While I thought I clicked the same process, the steps I was walked through was different for the two images, so I want to make sure that they are both ok. Thanks, Still, the Balloonman here ;-) Balloonman (talk) 15:19, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Regarding a change of username: from "tvdm" to "tvdm (usurp)"
Hi Giggy, According to the discussion below you changed my username on commons.wikimedia from "tvdm" to "tvdm (usurp)" on the 24 July 2008. Even though I'm not frequently contributing on wikipedia, it is incredibly that a username is not safe once it is chosen. Not all contributors to wikimedia and wikipedia is using the "wikiprograms" as an active communication port to all the other wikipedians. There are some of us that only use it infrequently to contribute by writing on new or existing articles published on wikipedia. But when your username isn’t safe after you take a brake for a while, things get a little bit fucked up….. To make the story short, I want my old username "tvdm" back, with my old password. I was first on commons.wikimedia with "tvdm", and that other guy “tvdm1” should accept this and find another username (like "tvdm1" that he actually first chosed)! I hope you can fix this problem for me, since you agreed to do the change for "tvdm1" on the first hand. Thank you very much in advance…..
Kind Regards, tvdm (Wikipedia Norway)
Rename Tvdm1 (talk • contribs • count) to Tvdm (talk • contribs • count) Hello, I would like to change my username Tvdm1 to Tvdm for SUL. Tvdm1 is my own account, Tvdm is not mine. Tvdm here has made only 3 edits, Tvdm1 has made more. At Wiktionary-NL, I have made over 13.000 edits. Please rename Tvdm1 to Tvdm so I can use SUL. Thanks in advance!

Hi. As he has made non-deleted contributions, you're going to have to ask if you can have his username (that's our current policy; see Commons:Village pump/Archive/2008Apr#Usurp or not usurp accounts with useful contributions). You can do this by emailing him and leaving a note on his talk page. You will also need to provide a crosslink as instructed by this automessage...
Hi. Before we can do this, you need to go to your userpage on another wiki (where you have the desired username), and while logged in, edit that page to say "I am requesting a rename on Commons." (and mention your Commons username while you're there.) Save the page, get a diff, and post it here. If you have one, a wikimatrix (like m:User:Lar/WikiMatrix) also works for this purpose. All this is just to prove that you're who you say you are and make everyone's life easier. Thanks. —Giggy 01:11, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I've edited a page on the nl.wiktionary.org. Here is the diff: here. Is this enough to do the usurp? Tvdm1 (talk) 14:21, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
PS: I can't e-mail the user (no e-mail provided) and he hasn't been active for 2 (!) years (latest activity at December the 10th of 2006), so posting a message on his (unexisting) talk page wouldn't be useful, but I still did it because you asked so. And, his contributions don't get lost if you do a usurp, are they? Just rename Tvdm to Tvdm (usurped) and then Tvdm1 to Tvdm. Tvdm1 (talk) 14:30, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the diff; that should be fine. Yes, he does regain his contribs when renamed, but it's a bit undermining to have a photo accredited to you as "Tvdm (usurped)" as opposed to "Tvdm", if you know what I mean. Anyway we'll wait about a week and then go for it. Thanks —Giggy 11:27, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
More than a week has been past, and there is still no reaction on his talk page. Could you please usurp his account? Thanks in advance for your efforts! Tvdm1 (talk) 08:55, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
Done. Added a note to your userpage also, and recreated the old account to prevent impersonation. Email me if you'd like the password. —Giggy 09:10, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Giggy, please help me. Nobody else will.
I've been uploading photos (specific ones) that I look for in Flickr, and then ask the photographer to change their copyright to attribution. I only do it for pages in the en.wikipedia lacking photos. I was using the Flickr to Commons upload, the Bryan's tool thing (do you know what I'm talking about?) It was going fine, but in the last week, I keep getting a screen with no picture, but a big green check mark with my name leahtwosaints saying I can upload the photo. But I already have! So where IS it? This has been going on for the last 10 photos or so, and I upload a lot, if the photographer is willing to let us have them. Not one picture is wasted though, I attach them right away to the biography pages in Wikipedia that they were meant for. What can I do? The manual upload directions don't seem to work for me, and SOME PLACE in COMMONS my photo of Jeff Sipe must be just hanging in cyberspace! HELP!--Leahtwosaints (talk) 01:56, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
- Revert the page to the original version (the one with the "Preparing upload using Flickr upload bot" edit summary), save in this state, and click the blue "click this link" button again; that should force the bot to re-download from Flickr. — iridescent 16:31, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
