[edit] Musician lists
Response on my talk page. —No-One Jones (m) 13:44, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Yuppster
I took Yuppster's current place of employment out because it sounded (to me) like the sort of paragraph that's in a vanity page. At the very least, it was too casual -- it read like one of those bios that people write about themselves. Feel free to re-add it, but make sure the style is more encyclopedaic. — Adam Conover † 22:08, Nov 20, 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:
- 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:
- {{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] Re: Scott McCloud / Webcomic
He is revolutionary, and I love his work, but I call him pretentious because he always seems to find obscure webcomics and call them the greatest things on earth, while almost completely ignoring the most popular webcomics. He just always comes across like those film critics who obviously know their stuff and have a great eye for cinema, but won't ever review anything released by a hollywood studio.
It's POV and I can't source it, but I still stand by it.

[edit] Drum and bass articles
Hi there, I just noticed that you created the article on DJ Hype, which is unusual in terms of dnb articles in that's it's detailed and well-written. I'm trying to get some users together to clean up drum and bass articles, so if you'd be interested, have a look at my user page. I'm going to start a Wikiproject next week, but the list is on my page until i can work out how to make a template to stick on the articles. I'm quite new to this business.

[edit] Utilitarianism
Hello. I found your profile on WikiProject Philosophy. I'm looking for more perspectives to help resolve a debate in the Utilitarianism article on the difference between "Happiness" and the "Good". If you have any comments on the subject, please feel free to share them on the article's talk page. Thanks! --Malathion 8 July 2005 04:36 (UTC)
[edit] Comics Collaboration of the Fortnight
As a member of WikiProject Comics, I thought you might be interested in the Comics Collaboration of the Fortnight we have set up. Please feel free to vote on the articles listed, although bear in mind that a vote for a particular article means you are pledging to help improve the article. The goal of the collaboration is to improve articles to Featured Article status, as we feel Comics is under-represented in that area. Thanks for your help.

[edit] Proposal on Notability
Because you're a member of the Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians, I'm notifying you that the inclusionist proposa Wikipedia:Non-notabilityl is in progress to define the role of notability in articles. Please help us make this successful! Also note the proposal Wikipedia:Importance is a deletionist proposla that seeks to officially introduce notabiltiy for the first time. Make sure this is defeated! --Ephilei 04:33, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Alpha & Omega (band)
I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Alpha & Omega (band), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Alpha & Omega (band). You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

[edit] March 2007
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Unfortunately, an article you recently created, Blame (artist), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do and please read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. -- Cielomobile talk / contribs 01:13, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
