[edit] Help→About

Curt Woyte is the nom de plume of an ex-librarian (1971) from Eindhoven, The Netherlands. I borrowed it from a German early twentieth century Classics scholar.

Loves: classic and modern literature (NL, EN), music (indie, rock and roll, cheesy pop, blues — well, popular music in general really, plus Fifties-Sixties jazz and late 19th century-early 20th century classical music), philosophy, geography, art and history. Humanities, in short, come to think of it.

Although acquainted with the project since early 2002, I seriously fell ill with the Wikipedia virus around June 2004; I used to be equally active on the Dutch and English language Wikipedias but the Dutch one seems to have fallen by the wayside as far as my interest/level of contribution is concerned.

Look here for a list of my contributions on the English Wikipedia. Most of the time I expand on existing articles, but occasionally I'll start an article of my own (primarily music and geography). Most of my contributions fall under the categories “The Smiths”, “The Velvet Underground”, “Albums by artist” in general (lots of small and great contributions to, and occasional creation of, albums articles), “Dutch literature” and, bizarrely, “Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt delta”.

[edit] Licensing

A lot of dust has been kicked up by Ram-Man's multi-licensing drive and subsequent discussions. Here's where I stand:

I hereby agree to multi-license all edits by me that I have marked 'minor', regardless of subject/category/actual size, into the public domain. They probably are not copyrightable anyway, but let us avoid potential controversy it and explicitly release the lot of them. All other edits by me, regardless of subject/category/actual size, remain under the GNU Free Documentation Licence.

Legal people will laugh at this text but I guess you can gauge what I mean. I don't care about the minor edits and as for the "major" ones, GFDL works fine to me.

Be aware, though, that although I may have released my minor contributions, my possible fellow contributors may have not, so the article-as-a-whole need not necessarily be in the public domain!
