User talk:Wiki alf~commonswiki

Welcome!

Hello, Wiki_alf~commonswiki, and welcome to Wikimedia Commons. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• First steps - will tell you everything you need to know about how to upload, what licenses are OK and what information to include in your image summary
• Babel guide - Commons is truly international, here's how to handle some multilingual issues
• Commons FAQ - has some answers to common Commons questions
• The Community Portal - help us organise and improve our files
• A Gallery of your images - please correct any that are untagged or orphans (put them in a category)

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Commoner! If you haven't already done so, you might also want to open an account on a Wikipedia in your preferred language, or one of the other Wikimedia projects. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date. If you have any questions, drop a note on the village pump, the Help desk, or contact an administrator. I look forward to your contributions!

Hello, and thank your for sharing your files with Commons. There seems to be a problem regarding the description and or licensing of this particular file. Could you please resolve these problems, which are described on the page linked in above? Thank you.--Orgullomoore 16:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Yup I just noticed that myself, thought I chose copyleft, hmmm. No prob, will fix. --Alf ^melmac 19:33, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Alfie?

My little furry friend from Melmac, you are formally summoned to officially welcome me to commons as, I have yet to be welcome and have had an account for over a year. (P.S. if you do it there's a tasty purring snack in it for you.) -JCarriker 00:19, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, me too. Bubba hotep 00:19, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Copyvios

Thanks for the heads up - deleted and blocked for a day. Cynic that I am I'm sure they will be back! Regards --Herby ^{talk thyme} 12:22, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, two en admins are now aware and we also have a friendly ip range of some Canandian libararians who are regular and trusty users who will keep theirs eye open for them.--Alf ^melmac

Feel free to nudge me - if I'm around I'll deal with it otherwise Admin board for attention should get someone (if you feel it becomes a CU issue shout) --Herby ^{talk thyme} 12:28, 23 April 2007 (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 Wiki alf. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Wiki alf~commonswiki 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.

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
