User talk:Goethean/2004

Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for reverting the vandalism on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. If you need to do it again, there are some tips at Wikipedia:revert. Other useful pages are: how to edit, how to write a great article, naming conventions, manual of style and the Wikipedia policies.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Angela . 21:35, Mar 16, 2004 (UTC)

Ken Wilber

I'm fairly sure it has not been rewritten enough so I've removed it for now. It needs to be significantly different from the original to prevent it looking like plagiarism. I've noted this on talk:Ken Wilber too. Angela . 21:56, Apr 30, 2004 (UTC)

Gandhicon

Just a heads-up, Gandhicon has been moved to GandhiCon. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 20:26, Nov 12, 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:

Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
Multi-Licensing Guide
Free the Rambot Articles Project

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:

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:

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)

Snide, me?

Ouch ... but I'm afraid you're right. Time for me to detox from New Page watch for a while, where wallowing through the vandalism, half-baked non-ideas, and "XXX is gay" rants can sour even a wiki-optimist. I'll only work on creating or improving *good* pages until I'm my old sunny self again. - DavidWBrooks 16:38, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
