User talk:Larsie~enwikibooks

Hello, Larsie, and welcome to Wikibooks! I saw your question about linking to a pic at Wikipedia. If you want to use an image that is located in Wikipedia here in Wikibooks, you need to download the image and then upload it here. The two projects do not use the same image database. You could also upload it to Wikimedia Commons, which would allow it to be used by all Wikimedia Foundation projects.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask at the Staff lounge, or you can ask one of us old timers. Most importantly, have fun. Gentgeen 18:32, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * If you can find the images you'd like to use, you could let me know the url and I'll either upload them here or at commons. Additionally, I think external links to a file with a .jpg or .gif or .png extension automaticly loads that image, but I'm not sure.


 * I see you've been working on Venus, you might checkout Venus, which has one image. Useing images is the same no matter where the file is uploaded, as the server searches the local database first, if no file with the right name is found, it searches the Commons database.  However, the server only searches these two projects, so no using images that are exclusive to wikipedia. :(  I hope that helps. Gentgeen 18:47, 8 Nov 2004 (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 Larsie. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Larsie~enwikibooks 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.

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 23:21, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
