If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!
- If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
- You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
- If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
Again, welcome! - UtherSRG 12:09, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Stephen King Books
Hi Watcher. I have made your deletion requests for your old Stephen King pages into redirects, instead of deleting them. This way, if somebody types Word Processor of the Gods, they land in the right place. Thanks for your contributions. -- Chris 73 | Talk 11:33, 10 May 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Mozilla
I don't follow you when you say "you say you did all the IT build support"; can you tell me where you saw that? I've not done much with Mozilla except run it and peruse the web site.
Anyway, I don't think I've tinkered with complex builds either. Most of the programming that I work on is my own stuff (mostly trivial stuff) or for work.
Sorry!

[edit] Dante
Well, it's certainly not a direct quote, as I learned by doing a bit of digging. President Kennedy seems to have attributed the line to Dante, and it was likely taken from a passage in Inferno, perhaps liberally translated. http://www.bartleby.com/73/1211.html is a reference. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 07:26, May 24, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Efficient Learning Method
Hi, in some cases, like how to teach dynamic programming, or how to explain the earth revolving at its axes, and how it revolves the sun, at the same time the moon revolves the earth and the sun. It is not quite easy to explain these things merely using books, it needs lot of dynamic/changing graphics or photos or computer graphics to describe what we meant. Also in some cases it could meant how efficient or how fast could we teach a person to do some specific task as planned, like Building a home, etc with less overhead. I don't think I'm competence enough to continue writing in this topic. But hey, this is wikipedia, let's hope someone could develop this article. Roscoe x 09:22, 28 May 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:
- 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] Learning styles
Learning styles has been nominated for Collaboration of the Week. You might be interested. --Westendgirl 04:14, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] MEChA
I noticed your edits to MEChA. Are you the same Watcher who posts on the SOS forum?--Rockero 18:55, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] FYI: Dawg
Hey I see that you've changed the above from a redirect to a disambiguation page. You should know that the redirect was the result of a debate (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dawg). I don't think you're recreating deleted content exactly since you've added something new. I've been thinking that this needed to be a redirect as well, but for other reasons (with a link to David Grisman, aka Dawg). I suppose it is OK for us to go ahead with this. What do you think? -MrFizyx 02:17, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
