Generally, you need to write the text first and then add images. otherwise, it makes it look like the entire article is going to consist of just a picture. Vandal patrollers like me see stuff like that and think "vandalism" because it's a common vandalism tactic. I restored the page and I added text, a link and a stub template. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 21:22, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Good thing to do to learn how things are generally done here is to just look around. Read as many articles as you can. What I often did when I first started is that I would read an article, look at the history and then pick the link that goes to the creation of the article, so you can see what was put up first. It'll give you a good guide as to how to create articles. We have a steep learning curve, so whatever you can learn will help you. If you need any help, let me know. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 21:32, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I edit mainly at Wikinews, where what time I do contribute to on-line activities is mostly done there. I am working on a Black Vulture bird population article on Wikinews which happens to be in the vicinity of this power plant, so I thought I'd post the picture to Wikipedia while I was at loading other pictures, so I am sorry you misunderstood my intentions and do understand your reasoning. Actually, I am glad you are alert. Best regards -Edbrown05 22:01, 18 December 2005 (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 Edbrown05. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Edbrown05~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 23:38, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
