RSPB logo
Could you get a copy of this with permission to publish it from the RSPB - it would improve the page I feel - thanks -- Herby talk thyme 18:06, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes this should not be a problem. Is there some way to demonstrate on Wiki that permission has been granted?Johnbarleycorn 20:33, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Some more
Firstly an apology. Seeing an apparent first edit that was placing an external link probably made me react incorrectly. For any tone in my postings that you may not have liked I am sorry.

So - good to have an experienced editor around with an interest in the RSPB. There do not seem to be many about. You will see that there is some work under way in the "reserves list" which is frankly a mess. Equally the article for the RSPB has been marked for cleanup for some time (I've done some minor editing). As to images, given your experience you will probably know more than me however Logos & Media copyright questions seem to be a places to look - I've seen logos on a number of pages. The Ornithology page could also do with attention from someone knowledgeable. Do get back to me if anything isn't clear and I will continue to do such minor editing as I can in this important and somewhat neglected area. Regards -- Herby talk thyme 12:13, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you once again. I have done a bit of editing but I am no expert in the fiddly bits and I will no doubt take up your offer of help. I also clearly need to brush up on Wiki etiquette.Johnbarleycorn 20:28, 18 October 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 Johnbarleycorn. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Johnbarleycorn~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 00:55, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
