User talk:Shawn~enwiki

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you ever need editing help, see How to edit a page. You can also see how to format pages at Manual of Style. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Naming conventions. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Help or post a question in my talk page. By the way if the "Reese_witherspoon.jpg" is "Photo by Peter Iovino - © 2002 - Touchstone Pictures - All Rights Reserved" are you sure you can use it here?

Shawn, To answer your question "Who says what the right format is?"...This is a community of 100s of users. We have all worked together to create certain standards for formatting. Please check out the manual of style, the guide to layout and Help. You can always pose your questions at the Village pump. Kingturtle 06:48, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Shawn, I did a google search for "except for a very big word we sometimes have. Like the word philosopher" (including the quotation marks)...and it came up with one result. Kingturtle 07:07, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Anissajones.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Anissajones.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 04:32, 21 May 2008 (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 Shawn. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Shawn~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 02:57, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
