Invitation to join the Fifteen Year Society[edit]

Dear TrueCRaysball,

I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Fifteen Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for fifteen years or more.

Best regards, Chris Troutman (talk) 18:52, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How does Facebook know?[edit]

Hey man, how are you doing? You just popped up on my Facebook profile's "people you may know" section. I don't think we interacted here for like 15 years, so I was really baffled at how Facebook made that connection (took me a while to realize it was you as well). Anyway, hope you're doing well! See you around.--Atlan (talk) 10:05, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Happy First Edit Day![edit]

Orphaned non-free image File:Ecw logo2001.png[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Ecw logo2001.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) 17:12, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
