nb: Wayang kulit[1]

Thanks for sorting that out. Please note that I didn't want to post an obvious declaration on my en:talk page as the last old account I did that for got my talk page protected for 'boasting'. You might care to review the copy of the image at right and the version on my en:talk page; the links in the caption are to the acknowledgment of the Wayang account (I posted them sometime ago).

As to any others, there are none that I can recall; I will fess any others should I notice them. For a while, my 'anti-matrix' listed w:az:User:Davenbelle as an 'impersonator'. Then it occurred to me that it might be me and I was able to log into it using a former password scheme. I had never edited with it; circa Feb '05 I was mediating between an Azeri and an Armenian re w:en:Nagorno-Karabakh (and more than three years later I can still spell it) and created the account for reasons that I don't really recall. It has az:User ID: 35.

Might be nice if someone pointed out to BOZ and the Pumpkin Guy that I'm not 'banned', I'm merely blocked indefinitely in en:wp (the ENtertainment:WikiPedia).

FYI, I have over 2,000 much appreciated edits to id:wp and jv:wp in the last 6 weeks; another 1,000 or so on assorted others.

The communities on each wikipedia differ quite a lot; I'm glad you're getting on well. Seraphim♥Whipp 19:12, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Mads Lange — "King of Bali"

I'm really not missing the toxic environment at American:Wikipedia ;-)

Interesting stuff from FT2; Cheers, Jack Merridew 15:35, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is a large gallery at w:da:Diskussion:Mads Johansen Lange#a visit to his tomb, now. Cheers, Jack Merridew 09:21, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Seraphim!
Tip: Add categories to your files
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.
