[edit] Grammys

By the way, on the subject of jazz Grammys, do you think I'm right to spilt the general awards from the instrumental awards? For example, the award for "Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album" has switched between using the word instrumental or not several times over the years (see User:Sannse/Grammy to-do list again). I'm wondering whether I should put them all together (less articles, better flow over the years) or split them into two articles (keeping different awards separate). I'm not sure what's best. I'm going to sleep on it now, but a second opinion would be welcome! -- sannse (talk) 23:23, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I will defer to your judgment, since you've been doing more of this than I have. That, and it's too much for my brain to deal with right now. :-) --LarryGilbert 01:54, 2004 Mar 2 (UTC)

heh! I know that feeling. mumble-grumble-Grammy awards ;) I'll have another look at my lists -- sannse (talk) 11:02, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I've thought on this some more, and I'm leaning toward separate pages. Which, of course, means more pages. But somehow I like the idea of that better than mixing multiple ideas together on one page. So, for example, in the years where "Best Jazz Instrumental Thingie" or whatever is given separately for an individual and a group, the individual category would get its own page, and both pages would have a "See also..." link. Next week I may feel differently; I don't know. *shrug* --LarryGilbert 20:28, 2004 Mar 2 (UTC)

How about this as an alternative? User:Sannse/Grammy to-do list/jazz alternative. It lists the "solo" and "solo or group" separately, but combines "jazz" and "jazz instrumental". That seems to keep the flow of the years consistent. What do you think? -- sannse (talk) 23:13, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] KMFDM

This thread evolved into a debate over inclusion of images from Amazon.com in Wikipedia (see Wikipedia:Images from Amazon.com). I have moved it to Wikipedia talk:Images from Amazon.com. —LarryGilbert 17:41, 2004 Mar 11 (UTC)

[edit] Hispanic American

For the record, Ames, Iowa is a college town. So a significant portion of the hispanic population is not American. --Ben Brockert 21:28, Jul 13, 2004 (UTC)

The edit was to disamiguate the word "Hispanic," the page for which is now a disambiguation page. I think the term "Hispanic American" is correct in the given context, namely U.S. Census figures. I don't believe foreign-exchange students are (supposed to be) counted by the Census. —LarryGilbert 21:36, 2004 Jul 15 (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:

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)
