Spring
Hey Renard!

I saw your question at the help desk: The easiest way to find the image (if it has been uploaded) is to go to the link at the top of your page that says "my contributions" and the image should be in there.

I checked your contributions before posting this, however, and there were no images uploaded, which suggests that the upload didn't "take." Try uploading it again with the exact same file name; if it is already on the site, you'll get an error message telling you we already have an image with that filename. If you do, then put "Image:(whatever the file name is)" in the search box and click go.

You can also search just images from the search feature: put in the title and click search, then when the search page comes up, scroll to the bottom and check the boxes next to the types of pages you want to search (in this case, check "image" and "image talk").

Hope this helps, and welcome to Wikipedia! If you have any other questions, feel free to leave them at my talk page. -- Essjay ·  Talk 22:42, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

Spring? Sprung...
Hi Renard! I got your message; you've got leaving messages down right!

Hummmm...Did you remember to click the checkbox that says "I affirm that the copyright holder of this file agrees to license it under the terms of the Wikipedia copyright"? If you don't click that box, it won't let you upload, but you should get an error message if that happens.

It sounds to me as if the page isn't completely loading; if your image is properly uploaded, you should be taken to another page that shows the image, like. If you aren't getting that page, then it isn't uploading. I'd try again, make sure to click the box, and see what happens.

If it still doesn't work, go back to my user page and click "email this user" (it's in the box below the search box) and email me the image; I'll upload it for you. That won't solve the problem of not being able to upload, but at least you'll have your image. -- Essjay ·  Talk 01:42, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)


 * Looks like you've got the spring image uploaded. It's now on the spring page. I've edited it to crop out the date. By the way I'm assuming you own the copyright to the image and have released it under the gfdl. When you upload your own images, could you put GFDL in the description box. It lets both humans and computers know the image is properly licensed. (Oh and of course please don't upload images which aren't you own, unless they are public domain). Thanks for your contributions Zeimusu | (Talk page) 14:35, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Glad to see you got your image up. Zeimusu is right, though; we do have a copyright policy and I should have mentioned it to you before. You can read about the GFDL license at this link. If you have any other questions, let me know. -- Essjay ·  Talk 15:34, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

Hey Renard; I got your message. To add the GFDL tag to your images, insert in the edit box. This will automatically add the tag to the image page, and add the image to the category of images released under the GFDL. Thanks for being so diligent! -- Essjay ·  Talk 00:14, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)

Re:Userpages
Hi. As for your spellchecking question, no there isn't. Some users have proposed we create one, but it proved too dificult to do. However, there is good news! Even if you do misspell, some user will see it and fix it quickly. And noone will yell at you even if you spell badly. There's even a wikipedia bot program that fixes spelling. So all in all you have nothing to worry about. I'm a little unsure what you mean about how to create a new user page. I will give you three answers to what I think you mean. If you want to write something different on your user page, then just edit your page, delete what you have, and start over. If you want your page deleted because you put something on it that you want gone forever, put it up for speedy deletion by putting on the top. Instead of reason put why you want your page deleted. Then some admin will be along to delete it in a day or two. Finnally, if you want a sub-page, like the link to my personal sandbox on my user page, make a page called User:Renard/whatever. Just type that in the search bar and click create this page. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me again. Howabout1 Talk to me! July 2, 2005 16:09 (UTC)

Subpage
Hi Renard!

I saw your question; when you make a user subpage, the way to do it is to make a link on your user page. To do that, add this text: User:Renard/Spring and save the page. That will appear as User:Renard/Spring. Then, click on the link it creates, which will take you to a blank page (like an article that hasn't been created). Enter the text you want just like on any other page. When you're finished, you can keep it around, like your own personal sandbox, or you can have it speedy deleted by adding the tag. One extra benefit: Just like any other page, you get a user page and a talk page, so you actualy get two sandboxes out of the deal, since you can start one project on the user page, and another on the talk page. If you have other questions, let me know! -- Essjay ·  Talk July 3, 2005 06:06 (UTC)

Image Tagging for Image:Springs_012.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Springs_012.JPG. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

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 Renard. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Renard~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 02:22, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 18:02, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
