Hello there Ben, welcome to the English 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need any questions answered about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or drop me a line. Cheers! --maveric149

Hey - I appreciate you adding inter-lingua links on the date pages, but before you create them can you at least make sure that there are articles on the other wikis for them? See http://sv.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?Augusti_30 --mav

Again - you are placing links to pages that don't extist. Why? --mav

Sorry, didn't see somebody writing here. For the dates I just created links to all the languages that already have a historical anniversary system. Not all languages have pages for all days already but they will come and since the date scheme is fixed the links will work then. Ben-Zin 18:28 Sep 9, 2002 (UTC)

Links to :de are fine and good, but please don't put plant links to pages which say nothing except "info and pics of _all_ species found in Germany here: http://..." (like the one you put on top of Scrophulariaceae)(the link, when followed, has very little in the way of text, and is not all that comprehensive in the way of images, either). Thanks. --Henriette 09Sep 2002

You are right, these pages are quite useless for the moment since somebody tried to make some advertising for his own webpage on plants. But we (Germans) are not happy with them either and on the way to make some meaningful articles out of them. But ok, I leave those out till they contain some good stuff.

[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)
