Hello there, I wonder whether terms like hyphen and asterisk really need disambiguation? What other meanings do they have? Koyaanis Qatsi, Monday, June 24, 2002
We'll be here when you get back. ;) --Stephen Gilbert
I hope I didn't drive you away with all those apostrophes and semicolons! (misuse of !). Ortolan88
Hello. In grotesque, I think you used too many capital letters; words in section headings are not normally capitalized except the first letter and things that would be capitalized if found in lines of text. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style. Michael Hardy 21:18, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
... Also, it's usually better to write:
- A dog is an animal that barks.
than to write
- Dog is a term used to refer to an animal that barks.
I've changed this in the "typography" section of grotesque. Michael Hardy 21:22, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summary
Hi. Just a little request - please write something in the edit summary box when you edit a page - eg. "fixed link" or something. This means people who are watching a page you edit can see what you've done without having to view the page. Thanks.
Oh, and nice homepage, BTW! :) ··gracefool |☺ 07:28, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Please remember to write in complete sentences. Check out the Wikipedia:Manual of Style for other tips on writing here. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 22:53, 8 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] swastika
I am glad you didn't really think I posted this!(?) The day I paste such nonsense to WP, I ask that I be mercifully blocked ;o) dab (ᛏ) 09:24, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Wikicities is now Wikia
I see you added links to the Conan wiki to a lot of the articles in Category:Robert E. Howard. Please note that Wikicities is now called Wikia, so it would be nice if you could change the links to point to "conan.wikia.com" instead of "conan.wikicities.com". As it stands, there is a seemless redirect to the proper URL, so this isn't a very pressing matter. But if you have time someday... - dcljr (talk) 16:55, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- Soon enough? I think I got them all. --Ant 21:46, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. Actually, you missed a couple, but I changed them. I only checked the pages you added links to on March 21st; I assume those are the only ones that needed checking. BTW, someone reverted away the link you added to Conan the Barbarian (film). I don't know if you want to add it back again... - dcljr (talk) 16:24, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
