Sources for skeleton picture
[edit]http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:LadyofHats#Human_skeleton_front:_internal_restructure. Can you please add sources for the skeleton. Thank you. I don't want another image:respiratory system. --CyclePat (talk) 03:57, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
- Hello CyclePat. I don't understand. I think you should be asking LadyofHats. The restructured version is visually identical to her original. Only the internal file details have been changed so that it is easier to manipulate programmatically. Ideally, the restructured version would be an update to the original (as I did for Image:Départements+régions_(France).svg where the changes were not as drastic), not a separate file, but I prefer to wait for an ok from LadyofHats. She has indicated on User:LadyofHats that it may be some time before she reponds to any requests. TimothyBourke (talk) 04:43, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
- hoy!:) sorry for the delay. sure you can update it on top of my image since there are not any huge changes in it :). thankyou for the hard work and sorry for the delay. as for the sources of the image, well i used 2 printed lamina i got in a library, plus 3 diferent books of anatomy and 4 or 5 internet images i found. you can be sure that if it wasnt acurate it had not been featured -LadyofHats (talk) 10:56, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images
[edit]
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.BotMultichillT 03:33, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
[edit]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 Tbourke. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tbourke~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
