User talk:Weimar03~commonswiki
Our first steps tour and our FAQ will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy. You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold contributing here and assume good faith for the intentions of others. This is a wiki—it is really easy. More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel irc:wikimedia-commons #wikimedia-commons (direct access).

About removal of a photo of The Merry Wives of Windsor[edit]
I'm not certain why you removed "RIVERSIDE_GREENSHOW_MERRY_WIVES_FINAL_1983.jpg", which you had said, "it has been deleted from Commons by D-Kuru because: copyvio - bookcover." This was a picture I took, I have the contact sheet, etc., and the poster that was put on this site I also created, both of which I documented in my notation. I felt it was an important contribution to the site, and to the Wiki Commons, as it documents an early performance of this very important actress. Can you clarify? Weimar03 (talk)
- This is the image is a derivative work (Even you have taken the image, the image's content (the poster) is not your own work) of a poster (as the description says). This image would only be usable under the fair use clause which is not allowed on Commons (see Commons:Licensing#Material_under_the_fair_use_clause_is_not_allowed_on_Commons)

Your account will be renamed[edit]
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 Weimar03. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Weimar03~commonswiki 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
