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:
OR
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)
phe : I reloaded an upside-down copy (see [[Image:Hydnjo.JPG]]) but it still shows the earlier (right-side-up) image even after doing your reload suggestion. I even restarted my computer which closes all apps and restarts them. Something strange here - I'll let you know if I ever figure it out.
Hmm, you're definitely right. I don't remember exactly why I wrote that the date was disputed, but it seems to be almost definitely because of that error.
Thanks for all the effort you put into finding the correct date!

Please see WP:ATT and WP:BLP. All claims about living people must be sourced to reliable sources. Almost every source in the Hocevar article is a debian source. Aren't there any newspapers or technical journals which have talked about him? Corvus cornix 22:28, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
I didn't want to continue to flood the talk page with more on Horcruxes and the content constantly being removed and added. So, I figured I would ask you here: you added back in the "Theories" with the comment that it was all sourced. So, question: does one source make a reliable "source" for Wikipedia purposes. The whole initial paragraph about the locket is not sourced until the final line, and in fact, mentions "forum posters" before it even links the Granger book. The rest of the disputed content then references only ONE work, which is that self-published book by Granger. I really don't consider this a "reliable source" to be used to promote a theory. Your thoughts? Ccrashh 12:53, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
I think, what says Granger in this books is relevant (but I understand the bolded part can cause trouble). Since Folken claims this is original research, I also point Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary, and tertiary sources, especiallySelf-published material may be acceptable when produced by a well-known, professional researcher in a relevant field. These may be acceptable so long as their work has been previously published by reliable third-party publications
- phe 18:43, 28 June 2007 (UTC)Original research that creates primary sources is not allowed. However, research that consists of collecting and organizing information from existing primary and/or secondary sources is, of course, strongly encouraged. All articles on Wikipedia should be based on information collected from published primary and secondary sources. This is not "original research"; it is "source-based research", and it is fundamental to writing an encyclopedia.
Good spot, thanks. I think I've pointed it where I originally intended - or if not, at a suitable reference! Verisimilus T 18:01, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Based on the editing interest you mention on your userpage, you might be interested in joining the History of Science WikiProject. You can browse the lastest project newsletter to see what some other editors have been doing lately with the histories of science, medicine and technology.

Your outburst at the ArbCom Evicence page, which bares the marks of backchannelling, is perplexing. I do hope this isn't a conspiracy to mud-sling. At the very least, you'd be expect to add diffs to your extraordinary innuendos and claims of edit warring—where have I edit-warred on fr:wp? Just why you wish to plaster mistruths about me and others at an evidence page needs to be explained. What particular axe do you have to grind, and whose friend are you that you should plunge into the Evidence page in such a way? There is no central rule governing linking on fr.wp, and there is no edit-war I'm aware of—only calm discussion. Tony (talk) 16:07, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
You have presented official Evidence entitled "Attempt to export of edit war on other wikis". This is a straight-out lie, and you should be ashamed of yourself. I have reverted NO ONE, nor reinstateda previous version after mine was reverted. Not once. How DARE you portray this as edit-warring. You should be ashamed of yourself, stooping so low as to enter a politicised debate with anything but neutral, balanced information. You have, instead, degraded the process. There were requests from a few date-link enthusiasts on my talk pages, but I was suspicious as to whether they represented their own interests alone. I have stopped delinking, and never did more than a very few articles, mainly to see whether the script would work and to guage people's reaactions (mostly good).
Why don't I will accuse you of bad faith and dishonesty, then, and take steps to smear your name by distorting the truth; you could hardly complain, given your own behaviour. Or you could withdraw or significantly modify your outrageous allegations at the Evidence page. That would be symmetrical, wouldn't it? And quite just given your bad faith.

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.
For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:55, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
