Hello SwissCelt~commonswiki!
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. 85.182.126.61 16:27, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you, my anonymous friend! ;-) It should be mentioned, however, that I've not contributed anything to the Commons for over 18 months now. The image in question, in fact, was contributed over two years ago, and may or may not be particularly useful to users of Wikimedia projects now. Either way, some time has passed since I released that work into Creative Commons; thus, if you find it useful, the onus is upon you to use and/or categorise it, not me. (And if you don't find it useful, there is a process to remove the submission that you are also welcome to employ.) Because my release into Creative Commons means essentially I abandon my copyright to the work, I also absolve myself of the responsibility to categorise it. That I just happened to still be both living and reading the e-mail address connected to this account does not obligate me to responsibilities that burden me without the compensation of copyright. I don't mean to be rude, but that's it in a nutshell: You cannot call for submissions, and then further burden the submitters with tasks you can't be arsed to do yourself.

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 SwissCelt. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name SwissCelt~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
