Wikispecies Logo
[edit]Hi there! Thanks a lot for your help with the wikispecies logo, it is much appreciated and I think it looks great. Could you please create a text-version png of the "winning version" image, basically the same thing as you did for the "organic version" file? Thanks a lot, Benedikt
- Sure, I'll get right on it. --Zephram Stark 04:59, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
- How's this?
You wrote at Image:Wikispecies-logo-en.png that you have non-SVG vector files of the logo. What format? Any chance of getting them converted to SVG? User:dbenbenn 01:56, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
The solid shapes are created in AutoCAD. The coils are true splines that translate poorly to SVG as multisegment polylines. The fills are custom coloring schemes in CorelDraw. For highest quality, changes to the shape must be done to the rudimentary objects in AutoCAD before they are translated. Changes to the colors should be done in CorelDraw with the custom color fountain fills. The best I can offer for versatility here is a very large, good quality jpeg. Several people requested changes to the shape and color before the final logo was decided and I was happy to oblige. --Zephram Stark 23:45, 1 January 2006 (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 05:53, 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 Zephram Stark. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Zephram Stark~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
