[edit] POTD scheduling
Hi and thanks for your efforts in scheduling the Picture of the day. However, the images you selected, Image:Dubai SPOT 1255.jpg and Image:Namib Desert SPOT 1347.jpg are not Featured Pictures. The Pictures of the day are selected from the existing Featured pictures in a roughly FIFO order. If you are interested in nominating these images for Featured status, please do so at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates. If you would like to help out with the POTD, please be sure to read Wikipedia:Picture of the day/Guidelines. Thank you and let me know if you have any questions. howcheng {chat} 17:48, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Username
- This is often not a reflection on the user, and you are encouraged to choose a new account name which does meet our guidelines and are invited to contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. If you feel this block was made in error, you may quickly and easily appeal it - see below.
Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username. In brief, usernames should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, related to a 'real-world' group or organization, confusing, or misleading.
If you have already made edits and wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name you may request a change in username. To do so, please follow these directions:
-
- Add {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
- At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
- Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use. The account is created upon acceptance – do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change since we can far easier allocate your new name to you, if it is not yet used. Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username. Keep in mind, though, that creating a new account is much faster and easier.
Usernames that promote a commercial company are not allowed on WIkipedia. Please make another account with a non commercial name. pschemp | talk 16:19, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
