re:Thanks a lot

You are, of course, very welcome. Thanks for letting me know. Did you know that the Wikimedia servers are smart enough to allow you to upload to Commons with the same filename? That way, people can find the Commons image just by clicking on the en: image and using the same file name, without having to guess the 'WMC' addition. To aid this process, and for times when the same filename can't be used, we have two templates:

1. When you upload a file to Commons with the same filename, add {{NowCommonsThis}} to the local Wiki's image and it will display an informative message with a link.
2. When you use a different filename, for whatever reason, add {{NowCommons|NewFileName}} to the local Wiki's file instead

That way, the next person who needs the images in another Wikipedia doesn't have to work out where they are (or, more likely, upload them to Commons again. Thanks, and enjoy editing. -Splash^talk 20:13, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

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 Willpo. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Willpo~enwiki 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. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

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
