Please link images
[edit]
Hello!
Thank you for providing images to the Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.
To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.
You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.
The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on the Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!
Thank you. Finn Rindahl 19:41, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Some nice images
[edit]Good to see some northern UK stuff - cheers --Herby talk thyme 15:54, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- ditto . I'll see what happens to those two but your pavement one is qi I think too. Cheers --Herby talk thyme 18:08, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Would have been my next message to you :) QIs sit there for 48 hours but I doubt anyone will object to those two and the one above I wouldn't hesitate to put in if you want to (I'll happily do it otherwise).
- QI - quality is really an "absolute" issue. Sharp, correctly exposed, well composed, of some use, not tilted (bad for me!) etc etc. I now try and set myself that as a standard for my uploads as it makes me more disciplined.
- FP - pretty much the same as en wp but not! It amazes me the stuff that succeeds here and dies on en & vice versa. However I will happily nom it if you don't want too. I think the standards are/should be similar but the outcomes sure vary. Equally there is no requirement to be on a wiki page anywhere tho the images should be of "EV". You know where I am if you want me. BTW check out "annotation" - it is useful - example. It will accept wiki links too. Cheers --Herby talk thyme 17:09, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- Might be worth considering the opposes on en wp - some of the folk are active here too. Still think it is worth a shot. In passing have you got a remote release cable for you sony? I got one very cheap the other day - not for everyday use but good for casual use. Cheers --Herby talk thyme 10:23, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- OK - I'll leave FP/QI to you to deal with.
- Cable release - useful if you are taking shots at low light on a tripod say - no movement of the camera then. Cheers --Herby talk thyme 16:44, 7 March 2010 (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 Childzy. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Childzy~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
