[edit] F.B.Pickering

Thanks for helping to wikify F.B.Pickering! I wikified a little more after you were done. Keep up the good work! – Quadell ^{(talk) (help)}[[]] 18:19, Oct 11, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Moving pages

Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. To move/rename pages, please follow the guidelines on Wikipedia:How to rename (move) a page and http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Renaming_%28moving%29_a_page. Do not cut-and-paste text from one page to another, as that destroys page histories and requires sysops to perform a cleanup process that can be tricky. If you are unable to move a page, please ask an admin for help. Happy editing. —Lowellian (talk)[[]] 04:06, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)

When merging pages, Wikipedia policy is to indicate the merge in the edit comment. It is also a good idea to mention the merge on the talk page if the merge has substantial content. Sadly, there's no further mechanism to preserve page histories in the case of merges—which is rather unfortunate, but that's the way things are. In general, this does not create problems that are too great, as usually, one page has considerably more substantive content than the other, and also, the page history of the "merged from" page is retained even after it is turned into a redirect. The best thing to do, of course, is to make sure duplicate articles never get created in the first place, but that's not always avoidable. (In the case of hock, I don't think any merging was originally necessary; a simple move would have done the job.) —Lowellian (talk)[[]] 22:07, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)

Thank you!

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for adding Iwakura mission on Wikipedia:Japanese Wikipedians' notice board and your good contributions! I'll be much happier if you will visit our notice board again and participate to us. Cheers. --Aphaea 22:49, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Waka

You recently added a table to handle the romaji version of the chôka on the Waka article page. I've now added an English translation, but I couldn't figure out how to get the spacing right. I would appeciate your help, if possible. gK 22:43, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

That was quick! Thank you. It looks much better now. Another question: The 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th lines of the English translation need to be indented two spaces to match the translation. Do you know how I would do that. gK 23:48, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Hello! I've noticed you've been making some great edits on Crypto / PKI articles; thanks, they're really helpful. And, yes, it's very true that they're in need of a lot of work! (And since you've listed "Cryptography" as an interest on your User page, I thought I'd plug Wikipedia:WikiProject Cryptography...) — Matt 10:20, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll take a look at it soon. There is one thing that I find missing, a category on PKI crypto - lots of articles fit only into the too wide Cryptography category. I may go through it some time (when I get some free time from work and my other interests :-) ). --Schnolle 10:42, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Something like a Category:PKI? Sounds like a good idea to me. — Matt 11:12, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hello again! Tomorrow, Public key infrastructure is WikiReader Cryptography's Article of the Day; I thought I'd drop you a note to let you know. — Matt 17:00, 19 Nov 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:

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)

[edit] New Mathematics Wikiportal

I noticed you've done some work on Mathematics articles. I wanted to point out to you the new Mathematics Wikiportal- more specifically, to the Mathematics Collaboration of the Week page. I'm looking for any math-related stubs or non-existant articles that you would like to see on Wikipedia. Additionally, I wondered if you'd be willing to help out on some of the Collaboration of the Week pages.

I encourage you to vote on the current Collaboration of the Week, because I'm very interested in which articles you think need to be written or added to, and because I understand that I cannot do the enormous amount of work required on some of the Math stubs alone. I'm asking for your help, and also your critiques on the way the portal is set up.

Please direct all comments to my user-talk page, the Math Wikiportal talk page, or the Math Collaboration of the Week talk page. Thanks a lot for your support! ral315 02:54, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC)
