[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 1000 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] Priory of Sion

FYI, I did I little formatting on your fine Priory of Sion article, mostly in regards to section headings (per Dysprosia's comment) and numbering. I also did some work on the Rennes-le-Château and Bérenger Saunière articles, in case you're interested. Gwimpey 19:04, Jul 12, 2004 (UTC)

Paul Smith hacked at Bérenger Saunière by completely replacing the text, then blanked my user page and told me I needed to do some more reading. Apparently, he didn't like the way I described the Priory hoax. I'm trying to incorporate his edits back into my article with some language improvements. You might want to keep an eye on all the Priory pages. Gwimpey 01:37, Jul 19, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Templars

That was a great change you made to what I wrong on Knights Templar. I agree with it totally, thanks!

[edit] The Templar Revelation

Since you've done such good work on Priory of Sion and Holy Blood, Holy Grail, I thought I'd ask if you can add anything to the The Templar Revelation article. —Charles P. (Mirv) 00:11, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I would love to but I haven't read the book so I can't contribute much to the article. Loremaster 15:27, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Neurotheology: Protoscience

Thank you for correcting this[1], protoscience is more correct. --AI 20:52, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Templar page

Thanks for the revisions Loremaster - that really cleaned up that page. I'll work on my re-write of the history in Jan, and post it on the talk page for approval. Like your quote, by the way - Sneakers, isn't it?DonaNobisPacem 23:39, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

I look forward to reading your re-write. Oh yes that quote is from the film Sneakers. ;) Loremaster 00:05, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
User 166.66.16.116 is constantly trying POV editing on the page, and refuses to go to the talk page - is there anything to do, other than constantly revert? I mean, you should check out the history there! He's taken his editing to other pages as well, mostly with conspiracy theories and the like.....DonaNobisPacem 07:37, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
Well, if this user decides to undo all the work I have done, we would have to trigger the dispute procedure. However, since he seems to only focus on external links for now, we can let him be as long as the section isn't overwhelmed with Templar-Masonic links. Loremaster 21:22, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
So by the comments on the Templar page, it appears user 166.66.16.116 is really BlueTemplar13 - that's quite a rant against the Church he has going there! It doesn't have much to do with the article, it seems to be a bit more personal than that - I think I'm just going to let it go....DonaNobisPacem 06:26, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Apparently I am not liked....User_talk:DonaNobisPacem#Templar.....which is really funny, considering I haven't been around to revert his edits lately! DonaNobisPacem 20:51, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Don't worry about it. I think our crusading BlueTemplar will be neutralized sooner rather than later. --Loremaster 22:26, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Transhumanism

You're doing great work there. This article is getting better and better. Metamagician3000 02:06, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. So are you. Someone should work on the Human enhancement article. --Loremaster 02:16, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
There's already a useful article called Human genetic engineering, which you may have seen. I've done some work on it and think it is pretty good in its current form. It doesn't cover the entirety of what could be called "human enhancement" but it's doing some of the job. I don't have time now, but it would make sense to grab some of the material in that article as the core of a human enhancement article. It would be necessary to cross-link them and to explain that the expression "human enhancement" could cover a variety of technologies that could be used to increase human capacities - whether prosthetic, neurological, or whatever - as well as genetic technology. Metamagician3000 05:50, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
I created a stub article for Human enhancement. --Loremaster 22:43, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. I had seen the notice of Main Page status for Transhumanism as well. You should be quite gratified as the author with the most substantial contributions to the article.--StN 01:37, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I also want to congratulate and thank you (and others too, but as stated above you've been a central person) for your work on this and related articles. Well done! ...And sorry that i've wikifaded and not recognized you sooner. "alyosha" (talk) 19:39, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Democratic Transhumanism

Thank you for your corrections of my edits on Democratic Transhumanism. I actually agree with your assessment of the situation. See the talk page of that article for more. --Danaman5 23:18, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Great job on the article, it looks great now. See the talk there for more. --Danaman5 18:27, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] talk page slog out & apologies

Hi, now that I've regained my senses I realize I ve been a bit of an asshole on the Transhumanist talk page. I hope you will accept my apologies for being less than cordial.--Isolani 00:23, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Apologies accepted. --Loremaster 23:27, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Priory help?

Hey bro,

I just wrote a note on the Priory of Sion talk page about an inconsistency in the article I was hoping you would know how to address. I can take a shot in the dark but would prefer a more informed ruling.

By the way, I really like the bit on your user page about being a world citizen. It rings true. Thanks and peace,

CaliforniaKid 06:46, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Done and thank you. --Loremaster 16:24, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Biopunk movement

Thanks for the lead. I have now read the Newitz pieces, but it will take me a little time to decide how I would like to approach this.--StN 02:25, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Take your time. I know you will do a good job. ;) --Loremaster 02:30, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Desposyni

Revised and expanded your worthy article and would love to see what you make of it. Maybe if it is improved sufficently we can get it peer reviewed or as a featured article? Cheers, Fergananim 22:31, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Great work. Since I am too busy working on other projects, I am happy to see someone improving it. --Loremaster 04:50, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Roboticist

Thanks for the save on the Frankenstein complex article ... I have GOT to stop searching for just the plurals ... I'd left it that way hoping someone would add an article, but I guess I was just lazy and didn't search hard enough. :-)

[edit] Good work on Citizen Cyborg

(-: Procrastinating@talk2me 10:00, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

My edit of GATTACA was the first I have made in Wikipedia. I'm not sure how I dropped the link on the word "invalid," but I'm glad you caught it and repaired it.

-Leo

[edit] See also

See also are a list, lists are worse then text. Wiki is not paper, we should have room to discuss all related issues, and see also, which rarely discuss the linked items, give little indication why they are relevant.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  16:15, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, Piotrus. --Loremaster 19:02, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Simulated reality

Thanks for the note. Good to know people are actually out there. I enjoyed your article on Transhumanism.

Keep up the good work!

-Lord Volton, III, of House Florian.

[edit] Knights Templar

Hiya, I'm getting the ball rolling on a push towards FA status on the Knights Templar article. Steps will be:

  • Requesting a review of its status from the Military History WikiProject (I submitted this one a few minutes ago)
  • Peer Review
  • Good Article nomination
  • (assuming the above go well) Featured Article nomination

Interested in working together again? :) --Elonka 09:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Sure. I'll try to take a crack at it on Monday. :) --Loremaster 20:40, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Hiya, if you have time, could you pop in to the talk page? We're running into some POV questions, and I'd really appreciate a third opinion, from someone else who's familiar with the article's history. :) --Elonka 23:35, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for starting my user page!

Hi, Loremaster, I just want to say thanks for starting my user page. That was a pleasant surprise, and it was interesting to see yet another aspect of the behind-the-scenes efforts here. --Rich Janis 13:43, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
