User talk:DC
Hello and welcome to my userpage. I am of course DC, but they're not my initials. I joined Wikipedia in July of 2009, and contribute occasionally here on commons. I'm from the Boston area, and have a double bachelor's degree in communications (journalism) and political science. For more information, check out my Wikipedia user page (link on the right). If you need to contact me about anything, please leave a note on my Wikipedia talk page, and not here since I might not see it here for days. Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Deserted Cities!
Your account will be renamedHello, 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 DC. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name DC~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, Join the first national Wiki Science Competition 2025 in India from 1 Nov to 15 Dec Hello DC!, You are receiving this message as you have previously participated in one of the Wiki Loves X campaigns or are an active Wikimedia Commons contributor. We’re excited to announce that the Wiki Science Competition 2025 in India is being organized for the very first time at a national level. This global campaign celebrates science through freely licensed images, videos, and other media on Wikimedia Commons. By participating, you help make science more visible, accessible, and inspiring to people everywhere. The competition features eight exciting categories:
Campaign Duration: The competition will run from 1 November to 15 December 2025. You can upload your images anytime during this period. Images taken before 1 November 2025 are also eligible, as long as they have never been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons before. We’re excited to introduce the first-ever dedicated "Mobile Photography" participation option. Now, you can upload photographs taken with your mobile phone directly through a special upload wizard. This new option is designed to encourage students and individuals who may not have access to high-end cameras like DSLRs to participate. Whether your images are captured using a mobile phone or a professional DSLR, all submissions will be judged equally within the relevant category. This ensures that everyone has an equal opportunity to capture and share the wonders of science from their own perspective. Please visit the official pages for more details:
We look forward to your participation and support in making this national campaign a great success. It’s your chance to participate, get recognized, and show how science looks through your lens!. Thank you. -- Suyash Dwivedi (💬) 09:57, 27 October 2025 (UTC) On behalf of Wiki Science Competition, India 2025 organizing team |
