[edit] VEISHEA

Cancelling VEISHEA. What has the world come to? I remember ditching school (with parent's note) to go fuck around in the Union when I was in Fourth Grade, and hang out and see pottery wheel demonstrations at the art department. I feel like a relic of another time. -- Decumanus | Talk 00:18, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] RAGBRAI

I just wanted to say thanks for helping with the RAGBRAI article.

[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] Image:Kernels.jpg

Hi! Thanks for uploading Image:Kernels.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, – Quadell ^{(talk) (help)}[[]] 19:59, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)

Well done. 68.81.231.127 10:13, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

I'd like to thank you for your helpful edits to Game show Moments Gone Bananas. I was writing to you not only to thank you, though. I will not be on all of the summer, and I would like to know if you would be able to update the article while I'm gone. Please respond. Jared Wolf

[edit] Thanks on Brucemore

Thanks for all the grammar and typo fixes. I'm usually cleaner than that, but must have not been paying attention during my updates! Gaijin42 13:21, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank You!

Thank you for your help with the tags! Peitz408 03:45, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

The WikiProject has been created. Feel free to join it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Iowa.

[edit] Dubuque/Asbury reply

Thanks for the feedback regarding the Dubuque, Iowa & Asbury, Iowa articles. I just find it frustrating when I look at some articles that I have contributed a great deal to (and have taken the time to come up with sources for), and they are greatly reduced in quality by some user. It seems to be the same one (Bartowcounty11), so I will once again change the Dubuque and Asbury articles back. This person seems to be obsessed with including certain pieces of information (mostly "unofficial" population figures, projections, etc...). If it happens again, I will file a request for comment. Thanks for your reply.DBQer 21:57, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reversion

Thanks for reverting edits made by BartowCounty11 to the Dubuque article, and for your warning on his/her talk page. This person is very unprofessional and doesn't seem to understand the basic concepts behind Wikipedia. I will continue to watch for erroneous changes to the article, and I trust you will do the same. Thanks! DBQer 17:42, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
