+E0154: r##"
+Imports (`use` statements) are not allowed after non-item statements, such as
+variable declarations and expression statements.
+
+Here is an example that demonstrates the error:
+```
+fn f() {
+    // Variable declaration before import
+    let x = 0;
+    use std::io::Read;
+    ...
+}
+```
+
+The solution is to declare the imports at the top of the block, function, or
+file.
+
+Here is the previous example again, with the correct order:
+```
+fn f() {
+    use std::io::Read;
+    let x = 0;
+    ...
+}
+```
+
+See the Declaration Statements section of the reference for more information
+about what constitutes an Item declaration and what does not:

+"##,

+E0259: r##"
+The name chosen for an external crate conflicts with another external crate that
+has been imported into the current module.
+
+Wrong example:
+```
+extern crate a;
+extern crate crate_a as a;
+```
+
+The solution is to choose a different name that doesn't conflict with any
+external crate imported into the current module.
+
+Correct example:
+```
+extern crate a;
+extern crate crate_a as other_name;
+```
+"##,
+
+E0260: r##"
+The name for an item declaration conflicts with an external crate's name.
+
+For instance,
+```
+extern crate abc;
+
+struct abc;
+```
+
+There are two possible solutions:
+
+Solution #1: Rename the item.
+
+```
+extern crate abc;
+
+struct xyz;
+```
+
+Solution #2: Import the crate with a different name.
+
+```
+extern crate abc as xyz;
+
+struct abc;
+```

+User-defined types or type parameters cannot shadow the primitive types.
+This error indicates you tried to define a type, struct or enum with the same
+name as an existing primitive type.
