Hello Wyllium, [[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|welcome]] to Wikipedia. Thanks for spotting all that vandalism you've been reverting. Just a tip though - it would be really helpful if you could explain in your [[wikipedia:edit summary|edit summaries]] your reasons for reverting rather than just writing ''rv''. Even though it's often obvious, a short description, even just "''rv vandalism''" saves people checking why you reverted. If you haven't already found it, you might find the [[Wikipedia:tutorial|tutorial]] helpful. If you have any questions, you can ask at the [[Wikipedia:help desk|help desk]] or on [[User talk:Angela|my talk page]]. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedian]]. :) [[User:Angela|Angel]][[user talk:Angela|a.]] 13:58, May 24, 2004 (UTC) |

== Article Licensing == |

Hi, I've [[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|started a drive]] to get users to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|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 [[Creative Commons License|License]]s 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 [[Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits|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 "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" template into their user page, but there are other options at [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User namespace#Licensing Templates|Template messages/User namespace]]. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page: |

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" with "'''<nowiki>{{MultiLicensePD}}</nowiki>'''".

::Yes, I have started a "Noble gasses" myself. However, and this applies to the antire principle of categories, if you have a parent category of "Elements" and sub categories of "Noble gasses" and "Metallics", should the parent directory contain all the elements of the subcatagories as well? I think they should, otherwise you'd never be able to browse the entire list of elements. Similarly, people in "WWII people" should be part of "People" as well.

== Deleted article question == |
|||
Wyllium, I hope you'll be able to help me out with something. I recently discovered the archived VfD page [[Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Steuard_Jensen]], which apparently discussed an article about me that appeared here (inappropriately, I agree!). I'm actually somewhat curious to know who wrote that article (and for that matter, what was in it), and your comments when voting for deletion of the page seem to indicate that you know whom the author was. If you happen to have any record of that, could you let me know? Thanks. (And please forgive me if I could easily find out somehow myself; I'm still fairly new here.)--[[User:Steuard|Steuard]] 19:00, Jul 9, 2004 (UTC) |

:I'm confused. [http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761557162_1____2/Falconry.html#s2 Here] is a link to Encarta's article on Flaconry, which contains a glossary of terms, [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|here]] is our policy stating that glossaries are ok to include, [[List of glossaries|here]] is a list of glossaries that we already have. Obviously a glossary is not the same utility as a dictionary. Collections of specialist terms are entirely suitable for Wikipedia. [[User:Mark Richards|Mark Richards]] 20:18, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC) |

== Friendly reminder == |
|||
[[User:Halibutt]] was somewhat upset when Category:Ogg_files_by_Halibutt was deleted without him noticing. I guess part of the problem was that the customary <nowiki>{{cfd}}</nowiki> tag was not added to his category when it was nominated. So, I thought I'd drop a line here. Other people who examined the category before it was deleted should have picked up on that, including me; I guess we just need to be more careful about that in the future. |

Thanks! |

Hi, again. Actually, a number of these articles have been speedy deleted. I appreciate your not wanting to lose factual information but this guy, gal, bot or whatever it is just keeps coming out with these things. It's been quite a donnybrook on the "user page" developed just for this, well, user. Tell you what: I'll put a substub notice on it. Several of these things have been cleaned up in the past by everyone except the original poster. In fact, this guy has actually decontented existing articles. - [[User:Lucky 6.9|Lucky 6.9]] 01:43, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC) |

Thanks for making this a VfD. This guy isn't the problem he once was but anything he does that gets sent packing is OK by me. :^) Best, [[User:Lucky 6.9|Lucky 6.9]] 01:47, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC) |
