User talk:Caterpillar~enwiki

Re: Hair

Even if we were to disregard the fact that this "hair miracle" is neither encyclopedic nor remarkable, it would still qualify as original research. This fact alone would disqualify the text from inclusion; see Wikipedia:No original research for more information.

That said, I should point out that my reversion of your text was not censorship. I was reverting in my capacity as a regular user, just as you added the text as a regular user. Administrators do not have special authority over an article; we simply have a few extra tools that make dealing with problem users (such as vandals and trolls) a bit less taxing. Anyone is free to add or remove anything, but remember the notice at the bottom of every edit screen: If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, do not submit it. I will also point out that I am not the only one to disagree with the appropriateness of your text: GRAHAMUK has also removed your "hair miracle". (I have no interest in meeting this woman in person.) Simply put, this woman's story has no place in an encyclopedia. If you'd like to learn more about contributing to the project, I recommend starting at our welcome page. -- Hadal 13:44, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Hawaii Maui Haleakala Infobord zilverzwaardplanten.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Hawaii Maui Haleakala Infobord zilverzwaardplanten.jpg, which you've sourced to {poster. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.} Ronhjones ^(Talk) 22:11, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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