[edit] WikiProject Formula One

I noticed you created the article Jo Bauer, and if you're interested in Formula One, you might want to take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Formula One. [[User:Rdsmith4|User:Rdsmith4/sig]] 13:13, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Otley/The Chevin

I notice you added a paragraph to Otley, since moved to The Chevin, stating that the roman road is about 800m south of Yorkgate.

I've put some comments on the Talk:The Chevin page.

[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:

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] Use of word ¨Martyred¨

According to dictionary.com, the definition of martyr is the following: One who makes great sacrifices or suffers much in order to further a belief, cause, or principle. Commander Rockwell fits in this definition perfectly. 66.194.40.3 11:17, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

    • Describing a dead white supremacist as a martyrs is definately POV! Jschwa1 11:39, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • Where in the definition does it state that such people are excluded? 66.194.40.3 12:15, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • 66.194.40.3 has in fact remove his entry twice from WP:VIP. Sjakkalle 12:02, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Use of POV term ¨terrorist¨

Please see Wikipedia:Words_to_avoid to see why the term terrorist should be used in these articles. 66.194.40.3 11:49, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 48% for major edits and 17% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 12:32, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Cabane de Bertol.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Cabane de Bertol.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 19:05, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References

I said it at User talk:Martin Cordon and I'll repeat it here, because I want editors with pet projects to avoid encountering AFD, and there's a way to do that, which is especially important when creating articles on companies, given the recent increase in attention to company articles. If when creating new articles you ensure that from the first edit onwards you cite sources, either as references for the existing text or as further reading (and thus potential sources for expansion), you won't have much trouble with people nominating your articles for deletion. Articles, even stubs, that cite multiple in-depth sources are rarely even nominated for deletion, let alone deleted. Editors with pet subjects, from canal tunnels to traffic circles, in the main only encounter trouble with deletion nominations if they don't cite sources. Uncle G 11:58, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Butterley Tunnel

Dear Jschwa1

Thank you for your additions to the Butterley Tunnel page. There is a diagram included in the book "The Cromford Canal" by Hugh Potter which shows the base of a shaft at the underground wharf labeled as "shaft under blast receiver". I have added this book to the "further reading" section so I think we are covered for citation on your 1980's observation. I personally have re-visited the underground wharf described in Robin Witters 1979 survey. I have repeated and extended his survey adding photographs of those parts he did not visit. This includes photographs of the branch tunnel leading to the base of the blast receiver shaft.

I see from the above comment from Uncle G that my name has been taken as an example of how not to start your first article. Perhaps he is right. Do you have an article in danger from AfD. Perhaps I can return the compliment and help you out.

Yours Faithfully Martin Cordon Martin Cordon 12:26, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
