I am active on wikipedia.de (German), but would like to upload some picture and create articles in English. In order to do that, I need to be confirmed.

{{helpme}} Is there a way to use a Wikimedia file on Wikipedia without the need to upload the file?

If you upload a file to Commons, you can use it on the English Wikipedia. :-) Or you can go to WP:UPLOAD if you want to upload the picture to the English Wikipedia. Killiondude (talk) 16:55, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the quick reply. I tried to embed http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Santa_Fe_Depot.JPG, bottom right of the Union_Station_(San_Diego)#Santa_Fe_Depot under the article description "Inner architecture of Santa Fe". However when I embed the file, it shows a different image of a house. Do you know the right code? --Trickymaster (talk) 17:29, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Here's where we test the limitations of the MediaWiki interface. What we've got here is a doppelganger case; you've got two files which have the same name. Now, in practice, MediaWiki will opt to fetch the one hosted on-site first; your Commons image, which is the one we want, isn't going to be used unless we rename one of them. I'll try to find out if there's a way to make it use the Commons image without moving anything, though. Master of Puppets - _{Call me MoP! :D} 17:34, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Call for Wikipedians in Residence in Africa

Hello,

I hope you are well and thriving!! WikiAfrica has just put out a call for two Wikipedians in Residence. One in Cape Town at WikiAfrica, at the Africa Centre; and the other for WikiAfrica Cameroon in Douala, at doual’art. If you are interested, please contact either Marilyn [marilyn.doualabelldoualart.org] for the WikiAfrica Cameroon call or Isla [islahfafricacentre.net] for the WikiAfrica position in Cape Town.

If you are not interested in applying, I would be very grateful if you could spread this call far and wide among your networks to ensure that both projects get excellent candidates. Here is the link for the information page: http://www.wikiafrica.net/two-wikipedians-in-residence-for-africa/
