Image:Carnegie-library-galion-oh.jpg

Hi, I changed the tag on Image:Carnegie-library-galion-oh.jpg from {{Promotional}} to {{PD-self}} on the assumption that you yourself are the photographer and intended "The photographer releases all rights he may have to the image under copyright law" to mean you effectively release the photo into public domain. —Angr 08:54, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

It is not clear to me that this change is legally valid. I am the photographer, yes, but I am also an employee of the library. I can waive my own rights, but I don't necessarily have the legal right to waive the library's potential ability to claim copyright on the photo. I don't anticipate trouble about this, but should clarify that I meant to say only what I said and did not intend to imply additional things that Angr inferred.

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 Jonadab. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jonadab~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

The really annoying thing here, is that the ages of the accounts were not taken into account. My account predated not only the other accounts in question, but also the projects for which they were created. But that didn't matter.

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: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)
