[edit] Bishojo game

  • Just wanted to say, good work on writing Bishojo game and fixing up the related articles. There was really a need for some consistent terminology there. DopefishJustin (・∀・) 02:06, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] About DNA repair...

Interesting how you trash the article publicly only to acknowledge its validity and apologize privately. Is there a purpose to this? prometheus1 11:27, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] DNA repair round 2...

If you are genuine in your motivation to make the article more readable, then I suggest that you rewrite your critique in a fashion where the quality of the article is not seen to be compromised simply because it is written in an academic style and may not be suitable for the more pedestrian reader. prometheus1 07:57, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)


Obviously you have no intention of retracting your unfounded criticisms. You are instead dancing around the issue. Will you withdraw your unfounded critique and if you are so concerned about making it accessible by a less academic reader make suitable suggestions? prometheus1 08:12, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

You said. "I stand by the gist of my criticisms. I've already spent enough time talking about this with you and I really have other things to do. Sorry, I won't be discussing this with you any further, nor do I really feel like working on this article anymore. --Shibboleth 08:25, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)"

Is that all you are capable of - writing unfounded criticisms - on articles you are clearly not qualified to judge? And having achieved your mission - compromised the standing of an article - then you scamper off. Your efforts serve only to hinder the educational process whilst obviously providing you with some devious satisfaction. Your comments are unwelcome. You are disgraceful ambassador to Wikipedia prometheus1 08:36, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] DNA repair - no contest

Hi Shibboleth,

I just wanted to say that I was impressed with the diplomatic way you tried to calm down the debate on DNA repair on Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates. Your initial comment seems to have got everyone off on the wrong foot, but I think we have arrived at a concensus of understanding now. If you and User:Prometheus1 agree, should I ask User:Raul654 to cleanup some of the heated discussion to get it back to just the pros and cons of candidacy. -- Solipsist 10:33, 7 Aug 2004

[edit] Chaim?

Is this Chaim? If so, hello from George :-) --Gene_poole 02:46, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Nope, I'm not the same guy, sorry :). In fact I have no idea who this "Chaim" is. --Shibboleth 02:51, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

No problemo - I just noticed your edit to the Micronation article and wondered; I know a Chaim Shibboleth in the Netherlands who is a micronation coin specialist. --Gene_poole 05:43, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:Brettz9/videoscript suggestions

Dear Shibboleth,

Thanks so much for your comments on the proposed Wikipedia tutorial video at User:Brettz9/videoscript. Yeah, I've intended on making different videos for each major segment (on standards, editing, etc.) I very much agree with your point that it is good to start showing editing as soon as possible, so I plan to make the video segment for editing accessible separately (for someone who wants to jump directly to it), but I thought the site's standards should be listed first chronologically to avoid people just jumping in with editing without realizing that there were certain standards like NPOV, etc.. [[User:Brettz9|Brettz9 (talk)]] 00:05, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hm, I think the majority of people's first edits are on topics where there isn't any serious controversy going on, so they are unlikely to stumble across NPOV policy. Anyway, if they make a bad edit, we have a lot of people patrolling the recent changes list checking nearly all the edits from people without usernames: they can't do any serious damage. So I would as much as reasonable encourage people to just jump in and start browsing and editing --- that's the most fun and effective way to learn. --Shibboleth 00:14, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Good point...Maybe I should note that at the very beginning...thanks! [[User:Brettz9|Brettz9 (talk)]] 00:31, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] thanks

dear Shibboleth, i hope i clicked the rite button this time ^^|. thanks for the correction. i've been using the site for a long time but still a newbie in editing. i should've read the help section before i do anything. the ou spelling was corrected beacuse i saw it written that way in the Mitsuru Adachi page.

[edit] Blissymbols

That was a LOT of editing. Evertype 12:20, 2004 Aug 28 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you're trying to say by that. My main edit was to reorder the sentences in order of (in my opinion) importance, since the first paragraph said who had created Blissymbols but not what they were --- which surely is the first thing a reader wants to know.--Shibboleth 18:07, 28 Aug 2004 (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)
