[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)

[edit] RfD

On 02 March, you tagged the redirect Host file for deletion, but you did not list it at Wikipedia:Redirects for deletion. I have added it to that page for discussion. You may wish to add a comment there if you still wish to see this redirect deleted. In the future, if you nominate a redirect for deletion, please list it. Thanks and let me know if you have any questions. -- JLaTondre 01:52, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Juliet Butler

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Juliet Butler, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

223pdg - does your user name mean anything? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 223pdg (talk • contribs) 23:47, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Truth is, it used to, but I've had it so long now that it would just be inconvenient to change it - I use it on a lot of sites. 'Rissa' is a name I chose at random, just wanting an internet alias that was unrelated to my real name, and you can read more about the saiya-jin here. (Yes, I was a very small, very nerdy kid when I picked this name.) Rissa (talk) 23:51, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] re: Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary - why cause edit conflicts for minor edit when an editor is editing an article & losing information because of conflict via your WB

It would be nice if you waited a few minutes before you jumped in with your AWB. As it was I was fixing the named referenced situation plus adding more information -- information lost in the edit conflict. If you look at the edit history, it does not make sense that you would interfer with productive editing. I will drop the article so you can feel free to play with it. Guess the lesson here for me is to save as quickly every minor change and never try to combine minor edits into one. Well, it will rack up my edit count.

[edit] steven hawking

thanks for the 'canned message', but the data you refer to are the redundant duplicative succession boxes. thanks.--emerson7 01:13, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

btw, you might want to take a look at WP:DTTR for a few tips on using that vp you've got there. cheers! --emerson7 01:50, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I hadn't seen WP:DTTR before but the template is beginning to bother me (and that revert was dumb to start with). I'm going to have a think about whether I want to use templates at all. Rissa (talk) 01:53, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of Peabody Award winners (1940-1949)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of List of Peabody Award winners (1940-1949), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: List of Peabody Award winners. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 07:21, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm dealing with it, hang on a cotton-picking minute! Rissa (talk) 07:22, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
There we go, problem fixed. Rissa (talk) 07:29, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
