Wow, two years editing the Wikipedia and you finally get a welcome (from someone who only registered last year)! <grin>Is this a record ?</grin> -- Derek Ross 03:55, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)

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)

While I was at work this morning, I thought to myself that the way I reworded the opening paragraph really called for a link to Auditing. And you beat me to it. Thanks.--Fredrik Coulter 00:04, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)

History of Religion in the Netherlands

Hi Berek. I am pretty new on Wikipedia. I don't know if i am using the talk page the right way. I also lost my data about Religion in the Netherlands. I wrote more then a thousand words after the Frankish period, and it is all lost. Is it, or can i get it back somewhere? I forgot to log in at first. I am the user that started the page.

Daan

  • Hi Daan, I can't seen anything more saved under the Franks in the history of the article, so I'm afraid it's lost. You did fine with the talk page, although we usually add new stuff at the bottom of the page (I'll move this there soon), and we also sign our names using ~~~~ , like this: Berek 6 July 2005 15:43 (UTC)

Elizabeth II renaming (round XXXIV)

You may have noticed *mega sigh* that yet another user has dragged up the lets rename Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom farce, only 9 days after the last vote ended. (What next? A vote every day on the issue next?) I have proposed instead this vote on Talk:Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom page:

That Wikipedia stop wasting time on endless revoting on this goddamned issue and ban votes on this issue from this page for at least six months.

Hopefully this will put this nonsense to bed for at least 6 months. Your (hopefully final) vote would be welcome. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 21:08, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

I've now voted. Berek 11:36, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Category:Europe

You reverted my edit to remove Category:Scotland from Category:Europe, saying that you see other countries there. You must have mistaken the articles in Category:Europe for the subcategories. Is it 'OK' to get Category:Scotland out of Category:Europe? Thelb'4 15:19, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Highgate Wood

Thanks! I often wonder how people are so quickly on to obscure articles like this one. Is there some log of new articles or something? ElectricRay 14:40, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it's Special:Newpages. Hope this helps. Berek 08:52, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

The Stotfield Fishing Disaster

You altered 'ferm toun' to 'farm town'. I've reverted to original as this is a real Scots expression and relevant in a historical context. Billreid 08:47, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I think the italics you've put round it this time make this clearer. Thanks for the message. Berek 09:28, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Ruislip Lido

Dude, that was quick. In the middle of my creating this article and saving as I went coz I am on an unreliable link, you managed to confuse the heck out of me by removing things I was adding, and by changing links. Trust me, it is "London borough of Hillingdon" that needs linking, not "London" and "Hillingdon". It is, after all, in Ruislip. I know the pages are for "anyone to edit", but leaping in that quickly meant total bewilderment. Fiddle Faddle 15:20, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Pages listed on Categories for deletion

Discussion on CFD - proposal to merge all subcats of Category:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament from Scottish constituencies up into the main cat. Relevant categories which would be deleted are:

I think that this is a rather important discussion for editors interested in Scotland-related articles, especially Scottish politics and Scottish biographical articles (particularly local history). Please have a read and ponder, and contribute to the debate if you like. Thanks. --Mais oui! 17:42, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

It would also be relevant in this context to consider the discussions in the parent category for the UK parliament: Category talk:British MPs. I find it regrettable that Mais oui! has engaged in a restructuring of that category without entering into the discussions there. --BrownHairedGirl 17:58, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_July_23#Category:Members_of_the_United_Kingdom_Parliament_from_Scottish_constituencies is just about to close. I would really appreciate your contribution, because this debate needs some serious input. --Mais oui! 09:48, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Scotland

Pre-script: we are currently undergoing peer review, see: Wikipedia:Peer review/Scotland.

I am beginning to think that the Scottish Wikipedians' notice board is not the best vehicle for pushing up the quality of the Scotland article (we ought to try to get it to WP:FA, in order to get into Wikipedia:Version 0.5, or, failing that, Wikipedia:Version 1.0), and the other key Scottish articles. It is becoming increasingly obvious to me that we really ought to start up the long-mooted WikiProject Scotland.

Most of the stuff at the notice board (at least on the bottom half) is actually WikiProject material anyway, and the Talk page is really being used as a WikiProject talk already! The notice board should be just that: for bunging up brief notices and signposts. I am thinking of launching a Wikiproject and correspondingly radically clearing out, and chopping down, the noticeboard (a re-launch if you like). The Scotland Portal concept is fine (but currently mediocre/undynamic content), but in stasis: it needs a good kick up the jacksie.

For comparison, have a look at:

And, if you are at a loose end, have a look at:

Thoughts? Please express them here. --Mais oui! 18:37, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Scotland

Following a successful period of consultation WikiProject Scotland has now been launched. As a participant in the Scottish Wikipedians' notice board I wonder if you may be interested in this new endeavour too? If so, please sign-up here. The WikiProject will be replacing some of the functions of the notice board, especially those in the lower half.

While I am here, please also have a look at the new Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Scotland and give it a "Watch". It was started up by User:Visviva a few days ago, after long being mooted at the notice board, and effectively replaces all the AfD listings at the notice board. Being a transclusion of all the on-going discussions it is a much more useful tool.

Even if you do not want to spend too much time on the WikiProject, please give it a "Watch" and feel free to contribute to Talk page discussions: the more contributors the merrier.

All the best. --Mais oui! 10:52, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Please join the discussion at:

Thanks. --Mais oui! 08:18, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Ta for the notice. Just had v quick glance: good start. I'm away out now, but hopefully will have chance to contribute during weekend. Cin cin! --Mais oui! 20:26, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

User:AlexNewArtBot

Hi Berek/Archive 1, as a WikiProject Scotland participant, please check out this this thread and consider adding the bot results page to your watchlist so we can manually update the New Articles page. There are some false results for the first batch, but I'm sure we can collectively tune the rules to improve the output.

If we get enough people watching the results page, we'll be cooking with gas as they say :)   This looks like a great helper in finding new Scotland related material. Cheers. --Cactus.man ✍ 22:25, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Citroen C1 ev'ie

Wow, you don't hang about eh! Thanks for that minor change, slipped by me. You may want to look at the other articles I've created or modified:

Somebody will probably grumble about ECC being a primary source but really I cannot see the problem with that when it's manufacturer's figures etc. In any case those figures are reported in all the other sources which should be RS (The Times, BBC, Autocar etc), it just always seems better to me to go to the horse's mouth when it is a simple question of fact.

I am not sure how far to go with redirects (perm Citroën/Citroen <times/> Evie/Ev'ie/evie/ <times> absence or presence of C1 e.g. will it just in common parlance, if it catches on, just be called "the Evie"? I think "wait and see" approach is probably best.

Thanks! (And I hate you!--- nah only joking) SimonTrew (talk) 11:57, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Accounting information system

A tag has been placed on Accounting information system requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Miami33139 (talk) 21:27, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Disregard! This was marked as a copyvio, and I verified it was a copyvio. I dug through the history and found about six months ago someone dumped copyvio text into the article. I fixed the copyvio problem by reverting backwards six months. Sorry for the trouble. Miami33139 (talk) 21:34, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

One of us has an evil twin ... and since your account has been around since 2001 and mine only since 2006, it must be me!

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 05:10, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

User request (moved from main user page)

Hello; I came across your Timeline of Glasgow history page. Good work. I need some help and/or advice about a Wikipedia page I find offensive; I would like the page to be deleted. I contacted you because you appear to have the time, patience and experience to best approach this matter.

History of Edinburgh

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of History of Edinburgh, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.gotoedinburgh.co.uk/history/Complete-history-of-Edinburgh.asp.

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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Category:Disambiguation

re Category:Disambiguation:
   Please try to avoid adding the markup [[Category:Disambiguation]] to any Dab page (or any article), as you did with Animal Fair, Balik, and Cistulli. That Cat is acceptable on only a few dozen pages, all in other than the Main namespace. The basic Cat assignment for Dab pages is to a different Cat, and it should be effected by adding a template -- {{Disambig}}, unless you have a reason to put an atypical Dab into a different Cat -- between the last entry and any interlanguage links (or the end if there are no ILLs).
   Thanks for working on Dabs!

When nominating things for speedy deletion it is important to check the page's history. The page had no content because it had just been blanked. I've restored and repaired the redirect that was previously there and declined your nomination. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:37, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
