User talk:Tony 1212

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Tony1212!

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.

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 Tony1212. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tony1212~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

Username modified

Please note, my username (previously Tony1212) has been modified to Tony_1212 as of March 2016 at the request of Wikipedia (clash with another Tony1212 somewhere else in wikiworld apparently). It appears that all of my wikipedia edits (from October 2006) have been retrospectively re-assigned to this new username so those are OK, but the old one is attached to some historic images as file uploads to wikimedia commons (in the upload history, which cannot be changed). I have changed the reported authorship of those files to the new username so most things should work (so long as you do not trust the upload histories...). Hope that is as clear as mudTony 1212 (talk) 02:28, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Mike Ring

I'm trying to find a Mike Ring who played guitar in the Four Winds Folk Club in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. If you know how I can get in touch with him please let me know. I think he may be in the photo of the folk festival in Cambridge in 1977. LesleyAL (talk) 20:59, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Lesley, thanks for getting in touch, but if he is in the photo I'm sorry I do not know him... good luck with your search. Cheers Tony Tony 1212 (talk) 22:24, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
