Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have fun around here and continue to make useful contributions. You can check the Wikipedia:Community Portal for tips and guidelines. As for the post you made in Votes for Deletion: if its the samething as in a site, it is probably a copyright violation and should be posted in Wikipedia:Possible copyright infringements. In this cases the articles is replaced by the copyvio boilerplate text you can find at the top of the reffered page. Thanks, Muriel 15:17, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)
In Wikipedia:Language order poll, you wrote: "By order of alphabet, based on two letter code. Otherwise, how would we order languages which do not use a Latin alphabet?"
Allow me to explain why I don't agree. I do not believe that what type of letters the language uses, should matter. There is a natural way to sort a list of language names, and that is by order of language name. (If you want to sort a list of two letter codes, you would order them by the two letter code.) IMHO, the best ordering gives itself, since what the users see, is a list of language names, not two letter codes. And to answer your question: Language names written in letters which you can alphabetize, you just alphabetize. But all the languages written with other kinds of letters also have names in your language, and so can quite easily be alphabetized by those names.
At least that's how I see it.

[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)
- Hi Yekrats. I made a photo for your request on soap on Commons :-) Regards Malene 21:30, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Jesse Macbeth
just wanted to know what your evidence is that the macbeth video is a rightwing conspiracy? on informationclearinghouse.com this hasd been discussed and dismissed by most ofthe people there, including myself. It is completely probable that macbeth was a liar who had a lot to gain by posing as a combat vet, certainly just being the center of attention at rallies might have been enough of an incentive. it would be fair to say that after the video came out that the right wing blogsphere as had a field day jumping on this video and leaving threatening messages on macbeth myspace page, but it is pure conjecture that its production in the first place was a video designed to discredit the anti-war movement--taucetiman
[edit] thanks
Hi Yekrats. I've already e-mailed you, but so there's a record of gold stars on your talk page, thanks for your help with the Jesse Macbeth article. Let's hope it stays neutral and well-sourced. Bugmuncher 17:16, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
