Welcome from me too. Thanks for catching my error on The Archers. I guess The Merriweathers must have been the proposed title for the replacement after the Bowmen had gone down the mineshaft. -- Alan Peakall 11:08, 22 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Thanks Alan, I like Hancock and I'm a lifelong Archers listener (its compulsorary in our house what with my mum beeing an almost life long listener, seeing as how it started when she was a few months old). Saul Taylor 01:50, 23 Dec 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Just William

Great work on Just William. I was having trouble finding any information on the films and television series. CGS 17:01, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC).

[edit] Cleanup

Hi, Saul; i appreciate your adding pages to Cleanup, and also your graceful masking (at least there) of your flamboyant user name.

I edited your entry

History of Socialism: Part 2-subheadings but no content.Saul Taylor 02:39, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)

into

History of Socialism: Part 2-subheadings but no content.Saul Taylor

in compliance with the requested format described at the top of the page. I don't know if it was a slip of the keyboard that added the timestamp by putting in your extra tilde. (That's the name, Spanish and thus two syllables, of that squiggle that i think of as part of a "nearly equal" sign.) If it wasn't an accident, i recommend the portion of Cleanup above the ToC to you. (Actually, even if it was an accident; it took me a couple readings to get down the full recommended procedure, with the + and - signs, that IMO are justified by the need to make the page compact and quick to scan.)

If you ever decide that "Saulisagenius" is a burden (it will keep appearing in page histories, Recent changes, others' My-watchlist displays, etc.), you can have it changed, which includes retroactively applying it to past edits. (I have to confess -- tho i still would have been able to supress the impulse -- that at one level i was a little disappointed that you hadn't offered me the wide-open invitation to begin this note "Hey, Genius,".)

I haven't paid any attention to where i've seen your sig before, but anyone who's willing to add entries (or of course do some cleanup) on Cleanup is a welcome colleague. Glad to have you aboard. --Jerzy(t) 00:51, 2004 Feb 27 (UTC)

Not sure how serious you were being in asking which way to sign at my talk, Saul; i haven't noticed anywhere but Cleanup where the short form is preferred. Many people, as i', sure you've noted, do use the short many other places, but personally i make a point of using the long one everywhere but there, since it's only 1 more keystroke, and gives info that may be wanted by someone, and since WinP. --Jerzy(t) 23:59, 2004 Feb 27 (UTC)

[edit] Hear'Say

Well done for starting the Hear'Say article. can't say I'm a particular fan either but I've added some substance from google searches. -- Graham :) | Talk 13:10, 22 Mar 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)
