Hello, Villarebut, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like Wikipedia and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Again, welcome! - Ahunt (talk) 00:17, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Ahunt:Thanks! Also, I have a problem. I usually edit Wikipedia articles "anonymously". I only created this account as a burner account. Even the name is just the text of the captcha that I was given at the time of creating my account. I did not add an e-mail address and I have no idea what my password is. Of course now I started having second thoughts about the burner part, given I invested WAY more time into it than I would have ever wanted to. Is there any way to retrieve or reset my password so I don't lose the account?--Villarebut (talk) 20:02, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As long as you are signed in you should be able to set a recovery email address at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-echo. That is found under "Preferences → Notifications". You can change your password at "Preferences → Basic information". I hope that helps. - Ahunt (talk) 23:43, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Ahunt:I don't know what happened here. I thought I posted a reply but I don't see it. I was saying I had tried adding an e-mail address before asking for help here, but I need the password to change/add the e-mail address. Yesterday I noticed I was logged out of the account, which means the end of that account, but, at least the captchas are really good at generating user names, and this new one sounds better than the one I lost :D --Gravecoins (talk) 15:55, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, well run with that, then. You may want to add a note to both accounts' user pages indicting the other account to prevent any WP:SOCKPUPPET issues. - Ahunt (talk) 15:58, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I tried adding

Retired

This user is no longer active on Wikipedia as of May 2017 Password lost. New account is Gravecoins (talk · contribs).

to this account page, but I am not allowed to do it. How should I do the linking? Gravecoins (talk) 00:26, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I was just able to add it to User:Villarebut, so

Done. - Ahunt (talk) 01:31, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, thanks! Do I also have to add a link the other way around, from Gravecoins to this one? If so, what is the template for that? Gravecoins (talk) 18:47, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Glad that was helpful. It would be a good idea to add a note to User:Gravecoins, but I am not aware of a template for that. You could just add text at the top of the page to the effect, "I used to edit as User:Villarebut, but that account is now no longer in use." Or something like that. - Ahunt (talk) 19:02, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No personal attacks

Hello, I'm Ahunt. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Talk:Vivaldi (web browser) that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - Ahunt (talk) 20:53, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Vivaldi browser 1.8 session in use.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Vivaldi browser 1.8 session in use.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:30, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is linked now. - Ahunt (talk) 23:44, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Vivaldi browser 1.8 session in use.png

Thanks for uploading File:Vivaldi browser 1.8 session in use.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ntx61 (talk) 09:28, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
