hi
Hi, please be aware that we prefer articles to be more than just links to websites. Many thanks. -- Graham :) | Talk 01:42, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Another hi. Your articles should also be more than mere substubs. Single sentences don't tell much about the subject you're writing about. Also, they tend to be discouraged because so many of them wind up as orphans. Other than that, we're glad you like the place!! - Lucky 6.9 23:36, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Your new articles
Please make sure the new articles you are createing on DC judges - like Merrick B. Garland - are not copyvios; they are coming from a US gov't website verbatim. Do you have copyright information from the webiste? Cheers, Whosyourjudas (talk) 02:56, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[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 2000 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:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
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] WFDF-AM
According to WikiProject Radio Stations, WXXX (AM) is the preferred format for AM radio station articles. There's no such thing as a radio station with an "-AM" suffix; all AM radio stations are unsuffixed. If you disagree, could you please discuss it with them rather than simply moving articles that are titled in accordance with the current policy? Thanks.

[edit] Congratulations on Sam Alito
In case you are unaware, you created the article for the new nominee to the Supreme Court. Congratulations. NoSeptember 14:27, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
