If you think about the heroes of the 1812 campaign, these are taken from the War Gallery and are available at www.hermitagemuseum.org. Cheers, --Ghirla -трёп- 06:53, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your welcoming note. I have seen many reproductions of the paintings from the Hermitage Military Gallery in various locations on the Internet. However - on the Hermitage website they claim copyright on all the photos and have also a hidden id in the images. I assume this precludes all use in Wikipedia - Any ideas on how to get reproductions anywhere else? The paintings themselves have no copyright since most were painted before the death of the painter in 1829. Is there any way to link from my Swedish articles to images located on the English Wikipedia ? (for images not in the Wiki Commons) -Dr Fredrik Haeffner 08:37, 30 April 2006 (UTC)


 * As best I know, the only way to link is to reupload images from en.wiki to the Commons (or to the sv.wiki). As for copyright... well, I don't know... I recollect having discussed the issue with admins and was told that whoever scans a historic work of art (e.g., Mona Lisa) cannot claim a copyright on this scan, because he doesn't create a new work of art or something along these lines.

Re: Please allow time to complete an article
Sorry if you found the source tag discouraging - it was intended as a reminder to include sources, and not as an attack on the article. Will try to be more careful in the future about reviewing new pages still in progress. Dl2000 02:48, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi. Your friendly reminder was called for but only a bit early so "no big deal". The reason that I am particularly "stingy" about this topic is that on the Swedish Wp there are a few people who does this all the time and refuse to accept that this may be intimidating to an experienced wikipedian. I have written lots of articles on Swedish Wp (using the same alias there) but left it last year due to the continuous intimidation and persecution of several users and endless quarrels about trivialities originating from a small group of users (many admins). This has become a "culture" and many serious contributors has left Sw Wp because of this. I'm now going to do more for the Eng. Wp hoping that the climate is much friendlier here. /Dr Fredrik Haeffner 03:11, 23 April 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 Dr Fredrik Haeffner. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Dr Fredrik Haeffner~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 23:33, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
