Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Johndoe555!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Hi Johndoe555,
yes, I had seen the "own". But find it hard to believe. It's a professional headshot, made with a professional camera model and has been found (though mainly in lower resolution) on quite some other websites. --Túrelio (talk) 08:33, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

Turelio, I assure you I own the rights to this image. Not sure what you would like to see in terms of proof. I can email you the original image which I have sitting (along with many other originals taken the same day) on my hard drive. --johndoe555

Beyond what I wrote on your talkpage, I only wonder why this same image was already published in 2004 at http://www.rozanehmagazine.com/NovDec04/HereandThereND04.html and http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1963061, in both cases strangely without any photo credit. (Besides, you shouldn't have removed those URLs from the other version entry of the description, as anyone else who finds one of these links later, will surely cry copyvio because both publications were far earlier than your upload to Commons).

Anyway, as this is nothing about me or what I think, to remove reasonable doubts you should send an individual permission to OTRS, using the "Declaration of consent" on that page, where you have to state your legal ownership and to identify yourself - though this information will be treated confidentially; only OTRS volunteers have access to that. --Túrelio (talk) 06:32, 15 September 2010 (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 Johndoe555. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Johndoe555~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
