Thank you both, Vineeth and Raven for your welcome and thank you Raven for fixing my nomination. To be honest, although a long time reader of Wikipedia, as a contributor I am a total newbie and still learning the ropes. The nomination procedure was a bit overwhelming, but I hope that in due time I learn... --Thermos 12:27, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Gulls (and geese!)
Hi Thermos - Image:GullWasteFlight.jpg is a juvenile (recently fledged) Larus ridibundus (Black-headed Gull); note the narrow, well-defined black band at the tip of the tail and long narrow white "windows" on the outer primary feathers. Image:Agullonstone.jpg is, as you thought, Larus canus (Common Gull), also a newly-fledged juvenile. Took a look at your other pics on the way over to your talk page - Image:LarusRidibundusFlight-01.jpg has an odd wing position, because it has started the post-breeding moult and has shed the innermost primary feathers, leaving the gap half-way along the wing. Also Image:BrantaCanadensisLawn.jpg is Branta leucopsis (Barnacle Goose), not B. canadensis. Very nice pics, by the way! - MPF 08:26, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Bird idents
Hi Thermos - yes, it is Accipiter nisus, in the second two photos together with Corvus cornix. Lots of goose passage here too today, saw about 3000 Anser brachyrhynchus, 2000 Branta bernicla and 8 Branta leucopsis. But much more exciting, an out-of-range Coracias garrulus (too distant for photos, unfortunately). - MPF 18:14, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Featured picture candidates/Parthenon
Hi Thermos,

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 Thermos. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Thermos~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 03:04, 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) 19:39, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
