[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started the Free the Rambot Articles Project which has the goals of getting users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to...

  1. ...all U.S. state, county, and city articles...
  2. ...all articles...

using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) version 1.0 and 2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to the GFDL (which every contribution made to Wikipedia is licensed under), but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles (See the Multi-licensing Guide for more information). 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. So far over 90% of people who have responded have done this.

Nutshell: Wikipedia articles can be shared with any other GFDL project but open/free projects using the incompatible Creative Commons Licenses (e.g. WikiTravel) can't use our stuff and we can't use theirs. It is important to us that other free projects can use our stuff. So we use their licenses too.

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} template (or {{MultiLicensePD}} for public domain) into their user page, but there are other templates for 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 at my talk page what you think. It's important to know, even if you choose to do anything so I don't keep asking. -- Ram-Man 16:25, Dec 2, 2004 (UTC)


[edit] lots of edits, not an admin

Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list, although there is certainly no guarantee anyone will ever look at it. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 18:25, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)

With 13,004 edits over the course of 1.5 years, you're more than qualified. You should consider a bid for adminship. — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 14:57, Dec. 25, 2005



[edit] Great Username

Hey I just wanted to let you know I love your username- it made me laugh when i saw it. Then I told my sister and she laughed. :) I assume it is from The Simpsons from when Homer joins NASA? That is a funny episode. Regards, --Rachel Cakes 09:48, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. Yep, it's from the "Deep Space Homer" episode. MakeRocketGoNow 23:52, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
I too got a big laugh when I saw it. :D The Wookieepedian 02:40, 23 November 2005 (UTC)




[edit] Requested template

I put together something for the template you requested at Wikipedia:Requested_templates#Internet_Book_List. --CBD ☎ ✉ 02:41, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Sweet! Thanks! - MakeRocketGoNow 02:46, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Philotics

Most of the reference for the ideas of Card at Philotics will come from the content of the books Xenocide and Children of the Mind. I'd hate to try to delve into it and decipher what all of it means. But should we reference these books there? I always thougt this was just an invention of Card; I've never heard them mentioned anywhere else. In fact, this article might need to be merged into one of the articles on the Enderverse. --ShadowPuppet 03:53, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

I never heard of this, so I have no idea if it's purely Card's brainchild/fancruft, or based on some other real science/philosophical conceit. Either way, this distinction needs to be clearly made, and backed up with references. If it's just Card's, it can go under category:Fictional technology. In any event, Philotics needs to be merged with Philotic Web and most of philote. MakeRocketGoNow 01:24, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please check your WP:NA entry

Greetings, editor! Your name appears on Wikipedia:List of non-admins with high edit counts. If you have not done so lately, please take a look at that page and check your listing to be sure that following the particulars are correct:

  1. If you are an admin, please remove your name from the list.
  2. If you are currently interested in being considered for adminship, please be sure your name is in bold; if you are opposed to being considered for adminship, please cross out your name (but do not delete it, as it will automatically be re-added in the next page update).
  3. Please check to see if you are in the right category for classification by number of edits.

Thank you, and have a wiki wiki day! BD2412 T 04:55, 17 February 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Thanks

The Original Barnstar
In recognition of your excellent work sorting and categorizing articles relating to older works of literature (particularly those regarding Lost work), I'm awarding you this barnstar. I appreciate that someone is paying attention to this often-neglected area. Regards, Ziggurat 02:44, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
Hey, my first star! Thanks! MakeRocketGoNow 16:34, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Think we can get a consensus now

Hi, please see Category_talk:Novel_sequences#Thankyou_Mr._Darcy, and see if you approve of the compromise. FrankB 05:07, 4 May 2006 (UTC)



[edit] [Year] works categories

I think a better solution than categories such as "1859 works", which consensus on CFD seems to consider too vaguely defined, might be to create "[year] in literature" categories. This could then capture short stories, essays, poems, etc., that aren't included in the narrower [year] books categories, and the book categories would then be a logical subcategory of the [year] in literature categories. There is precedent in this kind of organizing/naming scheme in the [year] in law and [year] in sports categories. Cheers, Postdlf 14:39, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Sure, that sounds good. I deliberately chose "works" for its very vagueness- I imagined the category being able to cover political documents, works of art, buildings, anything human-created. I can see how this is considered TOO vague. Subsequent categories could follow from your idea: [year] in art, [year] in architecture, etc. Should the [year] in literature categories idea be posted here? MakeRocketGoNow 16:42, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category sorts

By using the * sortkey, all the sub-cats appear on the first page of the category; from what I gather, this makes it easier to find a sub-cat under which to file an article. There was some discussion about it at Wikipedia_talk:Categorization#Subcategories. If this annoys anyone, please revert it with impunity, and I plead obsessive compulsiveness. Cheers, Her Pegship 22:39, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I see. Thanks for the link. I can see some advantage to getting all the subcats up front. But if you're going to do it, go do all the subcats for that category! MakeRocketGoNow 00:27, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Works by year

I notice that, along with User:Jpbowen, you were instrumental in creating many of the "Works by year" categories. However, the actual population of these categories has been somewhat erratic, aside from certain specific genres (e.g., film). Has there ever been any discussion in the WP community about what it would take to populate these categories consistently? Or is this something you have moved on from, and haven't been pushing? Marc Shepherd 13:52, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

There has been no discussion to my knowledge. Yes, category population has been erratic, but that seems endemic to Wikipedia. I also have not been consistently working on it. I welcome your suggestions. MakeRocketGoNow 17:39, 21 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TheGenocidalHealerhardback1991.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:TheGenocidalHealerhardback1991.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ↔NMajdan•talk 14:36, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More thanks

The Working Man's Barnstar
In recognition of your categorizing/recategorizing over 200 pages in the last month, especially those obscure books, records and biographies which are semi-orphaned and thus where a correct category is most important to let people find them, I'm awarding you this barnstar. Keep up the thankless work! - Iridescent (talk to me!) 17:12, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you very much! MakeRocketGoNow 14:54, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TV documentary category name dispute

Since you created category:documentary television series, you might be interested in the dispute over its name. See category talk:television documentaries. Thanks. -Eep² 03:58, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

You might want to participate in the discussion at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_April_28#Category:Television_documentaries because it seems the recategorization isn't going well, according to the wiktators--er, "consensus". <eyeroll> -Eep² 07:27, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Workers Voice article proposed for deletion

Hi. This article has an odd edit history -- it started out as a stub about a Turkish Communist newspaper and was later morphed into a semi-advert for a Newfoundland quarterly magazine with the same name. You made an edit to this article at one point in the past. I have proposed it for deletion since it does not demonstrate notability using any references. If you can find a reliable source to establish notability, feel free to do so and strip off the {{prod}} tag. --A. B. (talk) 18:01, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

I recommend making it a redirect to Workers' Voice. MakeRocketGoNow 15:21, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
An anonymous editor in Newfoundland removed the proposed deletion tag. Warofdreams moved the content to a more specific page, Workers Voice (Canada), and changed Workers Voice to be a redirect to Workers' Voice, a disambiguation page. Workers Voice (Canada) still has notability issues, so I have nominated it to be deleted via AfD. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Workers Voice (Canada). --A. B. (talk) 18:28, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:TheyAllLaughedsoftcover.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:TheyAllLaughedsoftcover.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

[edit] Blernsball

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Blernsball, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Blernsball.

You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ricky81682 (talk) 07:57, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:TheHollywoodReporterJune2006.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:TheHollywoodReporterJune2006.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:26, 7 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BedRiddance.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:BedRiddance.PNG. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 00:31, 22 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:BoredoftheRingsHarvardLampoon.PNG}

Thank you for uploading Image:BoredoftheRingsHarvardLampoon.PNG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

[edit] Redirect of Ghariexem e Tabia

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Ghariexem e Tabia, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Ghariexem e Tabia is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Ghariexem e Tabia, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TheFallingTorch1962paperback.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:TheFallingTorch1962paperback.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
