Welcome to Aiym Baitokayeva

A warm welcome to Aiym Baitokayeva! I found your user name on minor additions to articles on two famous Philadelphia bankers and financiers. Please consider the same kind of additions to two other famous Philadelphia bankers, Stephen Girard and Thomas Willing. You will see my name in the history of those articles. Experienced Wikipedians know we need more editors from elsewhere in the world, speakers of languages other than English, and we especially need more women as editors. About 85% of the active editors right now are male. Please ask me if you need any help. --DThomsen8 (talk) 14:08, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Wikimedia Commons

For the English Wikipedia, it is best to upload images to Wikimedia Commons and link to them. See First Bank of the United States for several images of the building which I took, and uploaded using the Commonist tool. Look into whether the Russian Wikipedia can link to Wikimedia Commons for images of the bankers and the relevant banks. I would expect that to be the case.

If you have created an article on a Philadelphia banker, is there a link from the English to the Russian article, or the other way around? You can answer me here. --DThomsen8 (talk) 14:18, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Jackson slays the many-headed monster that is the Bank of the United States. Nicholas Biddle is in the middle, in the top hat.

Here are two English Wikipedia examples of Wikimedia Commons images you could use in the Russian Wikipedia to illustrate articles.--DThomsen8 (talk) 23:07, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Thomas Willing

I am told by expert Wikipedians that all Wikipedias can use Wikimedia Commons images. --DThomsen8 (talk) 23:07, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Hund-am-Strand.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Hund-am-Strand.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor (talk) 19:34, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Aiym, sorry, but you cannot take a photo from a copyrighted account. "© 2011 Last.fm Ltd. All rights reserved." In general, most images on the web are not available to be placed on Wikipedia. There is a cumbersome way to add a photo to Wikimedia Commons called OTRS, but in general it is not worth the effort. --DThomsen8 (talk) 21:16, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
