I see nobody's given you the welcoming speech yet. *Ahem.*

Hello Daibhid, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you ever need editing help visit Wikipedia:How does one edit a page or how to format them visit our manual of style. Experiment at Wikipedia:Sandbox. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Wikipedia:Naming conventions. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump.

(And no, I can't remember offhand which author bio you nicked that joke from, either.)

I'm not entirely happy about Image:Amcoa.jpg. I have a feeling that it is against Wikipedia policy to use images whose terms of permission exclude third-party use. --Paul A 09:15, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Only if that restricts others. It's routine in publishing to seek permission, even very limited permission, when it's not really needed. That provides protection against a time and money wasting legal case. It's a prudent step for many uploaders and is likely to be required much of the time when non-US people use items which qualify for fair use in the US. Sometimes US people assume incorrectly that having a license that's restrictive restricts the right to fair use, which isn't the case. Even in the US for fair use materials, it's just a cheap way for the uploader to get legal protection. Jamesday 08:12, 13 May 2004 (UTC)

I have moved a couple of your Red Dwarf pages to more sensible places. I hope you don't mind. --Moochocoogle 18:36, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Not at all. That's how Wikipedia works, after all, and you're right- the new headings are more sensible. --Daibhid C

Very much thanks is very much required for me to give to you. My List of Fictional Witches was a bit...empty. Being that it was my first page, it required all the help it could recieve. User:capitolZ

[edit] Legislation in Scots

On Scots language you added: "although the Scottish Parliament makes legislation available in Scots, as well as English and Gaelic."

Apart from a leaflet and a report to the Education and sports comitte I am not aware of any Legislation avaible in Scots. Do you have any sources for this information?

Is Scots really an official language in Scotland? Any sources?

To answer your second question first, one source was Wikipedia itself, which lists it as such on the Scotland page. The Scottish Parliament seems to give it the same status as Gaelic, which is considered an official language. On the other hand, it's not on any street signs, and I don't believe the language bill specifically gives it that status; but then, the same could be said for Gaelic.
I dunno. I've deleted that bit until I've got more info.
As for the legislation, well I was having difficulty navigating the Parliament site and took someone's word for it. I've changed it to something I actually know for a fact, namely that the website itself offers Scots as a language option. I should have known better, and apologise.

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Discworld

Wikipedia:WikiProject Discworld

Spam message: Having noticed you have made some great additions to the Discworld articles I thought you might be interested in this new WikiProject. It's at a very early stage and needs quite a bit of work. violet/riga (t) 21:45, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] List of postal codes in the United Kingdom

In the list of fictional post codes you put "FX - Fairfax". Could I ask you to tell me the source of this information? You'll have to reply here as I'm an anon. Thanks, --JS.

I'd forgotten about that. I'm afraid I cannot recall or find the source of the information, although I do recall I stumbled across it while double-checking AM for Ambridge. I'll remove it until I can get more info. Daibhid

[edit] WikiProject Shannara

I noticed that you have made several Shannara edits, and would like to know if you would like to join WikiProject Shannara, a WikiProject devoted to creating and improving Shannara-related articles. Thanks, Alex Nisnevich (talk) (02:38, 13 August 2005 (UTC)).

[edit] Wikiproject Doctor Who

Hi! I noticed you editing some Doctor Who articles today. and thought that I would let you know that you can join a project devoted to editing the various articles related to the Doctor. If you have any questions, ask me on my talk page (click "Jelly Baby?" in my signature), or on the Wikiproject talk page. Thanks!--Sean Jelly Baby? 18:59, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Stealth chess.PNG

Thank you for uploading the image, relating to Discworld's Stealth Chess. However, I would like to ask you to use an appropriate copyright tag so that its copyright status can be known. (Images with missing copyright status are not permitted on Wikipedia.) You have made the image yourself using other images on Wikipedia, so the most obvious choice is {{GFDL-self}}, indicating that you submit the image on Wikipedia under the terms of GFDL license.

[edit] List of fictional Elvis impersonators

The List of fictional Elvis impersonators is currently nominated for deletion. As a previous editor on that article, your opinion in this matter is valued. -Litefantastic 20:12, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Help and support needed.

It would appear as though there are certain "editors" who wish to remove the lesser known literary punk genres, not only is this a blatant witch hunt which emerged from my argument on the Dark City talk page that the movie is a relveant component in reference to the dieselpunk genre, but also extremely vindictive against myself and those who have helped in categorising and adding content to the literay punk genres. For further info: Talk page here Piecraft 17:28, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wow-Wow sauce

Please provide a source for the non discworld portion of this article. Thanx.TheRingess 00:41, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Done. Daibhid 14:23, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

Thanks for the kind words. Some people seem to resent me cleaning up their edits, and I'm glad you don't. It seems a trifle immodest and bad form to choose your own barnstar, but in this case since you ask, given the two, I think that the Diligence one seems more appropriate... --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 22:36, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks again. I'll wear it with pride. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 23:32, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] hey

stop removing my edit on the name thaum please.

I've not been; it's being reverted to the last edit before yours, which happens to have been mine. Daibhid C 15:01, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boo!!

Hi Daibhid. I just wanted to let you know that I've recently created a Wikipedia account, thus breaking my habit of editing articles anonymously. Feel free to visit. You know me better as 8'FED. Zerrakhi 09:35, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

This user once bought an apple.
This user's favourite colour is Octarine.

Daibh, here are some ideas of mine. I haven't made them into templates but if there's a demand for them I might. What do you think? Zerrakhi 05:46, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

!!NEW!! I've created an "improved" version of the octarine userbox, using elipses for the link. That way the link is there, but it doesn't make the word "octarine" unreadable. Check it out at User:Zerrakhi/details and please tell me what you think. Zerrakhi 05:10, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Porridge

Alright mate (and your awkward nameing system). I noticed you added some stuff from that porridgr mockumentary they did recently. I've not seen it but I found you edits interesting. I was wondering if there was any mention of Barrowclough or Mackay (obviously Fulton whatsisname is dead and Wilde hasn't been on TV in years, but they still mentioned Godber). Any interesting information from that episode and the characters lives after the series would be greatly appreciated, even if you just tell me about it on me talk page rather than add it to the article. I assure you I am not a twat.--Crestville 18:18, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Indian Heroes

Hello, Daibhid, thanks for the heads-up on the "Indian Superheroes". I will add your links and remove the "seven" comment. I just added the whole thing as trivia because "Krrish" was several times praised as the "first Indian Superhero", which is just not true. --Plumcouch 23:19, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivial: in case you care

  • I created a new userbox today - this one's about phonetics. It's on my userpage.
  • User Alnaschar suggested to me recently that the real life personality of Biddy Early resembles Nanny Ogg.

[edit] Castle in the Desert

I've been waiting for somebody to say "Hang on, what about Playback?" so long that I'd resigned myself to thinking that it was never going to happen...  :) --Paul A 06:18, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2000 AD

Thanks for starting the Armitage article. If you are interested in doing anything else in the same area we have a 2000 AD to do list. Happy editting ;) (Emperor 19:36, 12 October 2006 (UTC))

[edit] AfD List of Fictional Books

List of fictional books has been nominated for deletion. If you think it deserves to stay, please visit Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_fictional_books and leave your opinion! --Bookgrrl 03:03, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of fictional characters who lack bravery

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article List of fictional characters who lack bravery, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:List of fictional characters who lack bravery. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.
