[edit] Mailing List Contact

Why not direct people to http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l - the commons mailing list? It's public, but could be used for copyvio enquiries etc. Since it's barely getting used at the moment, at least a message on it would get people's attention. pfctdayelise (translate?) 13:29, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Also, maybe we should model this page on w:Wikipedia:Contact us, which I look at today for the first time. I find it refreshingly straight forward! pfctdayelise (translate?) 13:30, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Maybe permissions@wikimedia.org should get mentioned here, too? regards, High on a tree 05:43, 13 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] I ask to help with popularization Wikipedia

Good afternoon! I am the user Russian Wikipedia. I do not know German, therefore this text I write in Russian and later I shall take advantage of machine translation. At present we try to open new language section - Sakha (Yakut), Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Sakha. Has faced a problem of fear of Internet users before editing and a writing of clauses. Because of it many people recede. Has looked your fine roller with the African elephant how to bring editing in clause. The similar roller in native or well familiar language could help to solve this problem. Knowing, that wikipedians are always ready to help each other, has decided to ask you to make a similar roller in Russian. Undertake this business, please. Yours faithfully, Nikolay Pavlov, Yakutsk, mailto:halan@yandex.ru --87.226.163.54 22:03, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I have by mistake placed here the reference to the German user - to the author of video of a lesson, but I shall be all the same glad if will read through it)))) --87.226.163.54 22:14, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Small typos

{{editprotected}}

Would an admin please replace all instances of "Wikipedians" in the article with "Wikimedians"? I think that I have listed them all below.

  • "Usually, you’ll find capable Wikipedians around, who’ll answer your questions."
  • "An experienced team of Wikipedians does read and answer to your message there—however, the probability for a quick answer is somewhat lower."

[edit] Advice not to send e-mail about using images

The page advices not to send e-mail when wanting to use an image. I understand that unrelated users do not want to read and answer such e-mail, but isn't the uploader normally interrested in hearing about usage of the files? I think that should be mentioned. Many users are also ready to license their files in other ways than those stated on the file description (either for money or to make the file usable in some oddly licensed project). --LPfi (talk) 10:43, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
