ants

I just saw that you worked a bit on Category:Formica and uploaded at least some ants and therefore hope that you can help me...

Image:Formica cf lugubris 3.jpg, a featured picture, is classified as two different ant species (in English it's said to be Formica polyctena, while it's Formica lugubris in the German description - any idea which one is correct?

sorry for the long delay, usually I am working on the german wikipedia, and don't logon here very often.

I'm afraid, that both is not correct. It seem like subgenus Serviformica could also be F. uralensis but completley unsure. I'll take a look soon, and try to get an expert involved. Cya, Garinger 15:12, 8 June 2008 (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 Garinger. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Garinger~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
