Article Licensing[edit]

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)

Image[edit]

Hello I have cropped and uploaded one of the pictures you took at the London meetup Here, as you were the only person to take a photo of me. You said that your images were freely editable so I assume you wont mind, but I just though I'd check. G-Man 15:12, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

From Hungary to NYC to you[edit]

Hi, Arno. I got your messages regarding the commons. Thanks for taking the time to to explain these things to me.

(Its interesting how we can get confused.. Anyway,nice to see that you are still here.) Arno 08:31, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

May I ask how you found out about my article moving from en:wiki to hu:wiki? News seems to travel fast here. I'm just curious, that's all. It's exciting to see one's work translated.

I found your user name at hu:wiki, but since you do not have a page set up there, I am leaving this message here.

I hope we can find a way to work together. Meanwhile, I will go over your instructions regarding the commons, and make my best effort to learn them. If I have some questions about this, I may come back and ask you.

Thanks again for volunteering your expertise.

Regards,

paul klenk ^talk 06:54, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. It appears you know Esperanto. I have a user page at eo:wiki; if you know of a translator, or would like to translate it yourself, I'd be much obliged. -- p.k.

Native esperanto speaker?[edit]

I'm curious how you ended up being a native Esperanto speaker. The only native Esperanto spakers I know about are cases where a couple falls in love and marries, where the only language the coupld share is esperanto. Samboy 01:02, 11 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me for butting in, but my guess is thats what happenned.Cameron Nedland 02:37, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes my parents met with esperanto. My mother is born as a german and my father was french. But my mother speaks french very well for a long time and my parents spoke together in french or in esperanto as they wanted. It's a very personal question in which language people speak at home. For example my mother nether could speak german with me while I speak/spoke german with my grandmother, my aunts, etc. She just doesn't want or doesn't like. I know families where three languages are spoken : the mother's one, the father's (which are different) and esperanto. Does that work well ? It depends on each people and lot of subtile things.

Proposed deletion of Eli Maor[edit]

The article Eli Maor has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. RadioFan (talk) 14:01, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is a source there now which helps, but the notability of this person is still not clear. Do you feel they meet WP:PROF or WP:BIO.--RadioFan (talk) 15:34, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of Eli Maor[edit]

I have nominated Eli Maor, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eli Maor. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. RadioFan (talk) 18:56, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference[edit]

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). 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 you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). 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) 19:54, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Propaedeutic value of Esperanto[edit]

The article Propaedeutic value of Esperanto has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

very few reliable sources and practically no coverage in the literature

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
