No, there's no way to downsize a picture on Wikipedia. You need to copy it to an art package on your own computer, save it there and then upload the smaller version. If you don't have the software to do it yourself, you could ask at the village pump and there will be someone who can do it for you, as long as the picture is not breaking any copyright rules.

I just uploaded one half the size if that helps. If you wanted a different size, let me know. It is at Image:Ludwig_Quidde_smaller.jpg. You can overwrite it by saving something else with the same file name. Angela

By the way, you can sign your name using three tildes. Using four will add the date as well. Angela 00:17, Sep 21, 2003 (UTC)

It's not that bad
You might as well forget about it. Wikikiwi 15:04, 27 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Ludwig Quidde image
Hi, do you know the source from where you got the image? Am I right in assuming that it is in the public domain? All the best,  23:47, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

Charles Van Doren
I don't possibly see how you can suggest that Charles Van Doren is an intellectual. Yes, he is American but I think you would need to redefine the term "intellectual" to include him... If you have ever read "A History of Knowledge", he is quite brief with his intellect. It is like something taught in grammar school and updated for adults. There are a lot of perspectives on history and Van Doren missed most of them. Regards... Stevenmitchell 01:38, 13 February 2007 (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 Alter Ego. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Alter Ego~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 21:53, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
