Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/La La

Hello, I saw you frequently participate in vfd. Can you please vote on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/La La? I'd like to see your input on it. Cheers. .:. 06:24, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

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:

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)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

+Hi,<br>
-Hi there. I wanted to say that I strongly urge you to pull your nomination for deletion on [[List of movies]], if you take a look you'll see two things.  The list system for movies is much more comprehensive than the category system at this moment in time, (Ie containing settings for movies and such). There are also ''many'' red linked movies.  This list seems to be important, as it has not yet been replaced by categories, at least for the time being.  Deleting this would make it harder to browse wikipedia and to keep track of needed articles.

-*I'm confused. The list explicitly states that it is a list ''of articles'', not of movies whether they have an article or not. That's is the reason I nominated it. Lists that contain items without articles I think ''are'' valuable, but I don't think that's the case here. Anyway, "pulling" my nomination is not an issue. I might vote ''keep'' myself if I change my mind, but it would be undemocratic if I pulled it when there are a lot of ''delete'' votes. [[User:Wyllium|Wyllium]] 07:12, 2004 Nov 17 (UTC)

-== textfiles.com ==
-Hi. Why did you list [[textfiles.com]] for deletion? I don't care about your petty conflict with ANSI artists and your vendetta against their articles, but textfiles.com is by no means VfD material. You may list it again and find out yourself. It has been in Wired, on Slashdot and in multiple other mainstream media. It has a page rank between 40 and 100 000 and has existed for 6 years.
-Note that I am not affiliated with Textfiles.com, Jason Scott or any sort of scene, although they all interest me.
-By all means, list the article for deletion again. I'd be very curious as to how you'd phrase it. &mdash; [[User:Chmod007|David Remahl]] 07:52, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
-*I have no idea what you mean with ''vendetta against ANSI artists''. I listed Textfiles.com for one reason only, and that is that I have doubts about it's notability. If it is important enough there will be enough ''keep'' votes and you'll have nothing to worry about. [[User:Wyllium|Wyllium]] 07:56, 2004 Nov 17 (UTC)

-***Comment by [[User:Jscott]] deleted as it wasn't addressed at me, but the above poster. [[User:Wyllium|Wyllium]] 08:40, 2004 Nov 17 (UTC)
-****I have to disagree, the comment left by Jscott was, indirectly atleast, very much addressed to you.  My worry isn't whether or not the article will survive, as I'm confident that it will.  My real concern is over your better judgement (or lack thereof) before going ahead and VfD'ing an article as it's beginning to take shape.  Give articles a chance to get off the ground and establish notability before rushing to fire them off to Votes for Deletion.  Secondly, it is well established that this subject is noteworthy and had you taken the same amount of time it takes to fully process a VfD nomination and used it to verify the fact that it is noteworthy you would have given  fellow Wikipedians a few precious moments of their life back that they could've spent on more important issues. --[[User:Radman1|[[en:RaD Man|'''RaD Man''']] ([[User_talk:Radman1|''talk'']])]] 08:49, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
