Holocaust

Dear RK, as long promised, I have written a completely new Holocaust article. I am showing the draft to you, Danny, Jayjg and John Kenney, since you are all both knowledgeable and (usually) sensible. I will not attempt to replace the present illiterate mess with my new version until I get comments and some degree of support from all of you. If and when you all approve of it, I also want a commitment from all of you to protect it when I install it. Hope this finds you well, Adam 12:34, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I will take an in-depth look at it. I really like the way that you have split the article onto two parts; this will help avoid useless arguments. The main article, on the Holocaust itself, and the second article User:Adam Carr/Drafts2 on the history of the word itself, a history of its etymology. RK 16:57, Aug 26, 2004 (UTC)

Igor

I banned Igor when he tried for the second time to insert the National Vanguard link. He'll be gone for 24h. JFW | T@lk 08:46, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Arbitration case

RK - I'd like to hear your response to the allegations made against you in your arbitration case. You have not responded with a statement, nor have you presented any evidence. Thus, it makes judgeing your side of the case difficult. The case will move ahead regardless of whether or not you present your side of the case, so not doing so can only hurt you. →Raul654 03:40, Sep 6, 2004 (UTC)

I am still hoping to get detailed comments from you on the proposed new Holocaust article. Adam 04:08, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Adminship

Would you be adverse to me putting your name up for an adminship vote? You seem to have the requisite number of edits and whatnot. Is there any reason why you would not accept adminship? --[[User:Sunborn|metta, The Sunborn ☸]] 03:00, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Thank you for your support. I know that there are a number of outspoken Wikipedians who are not enamored of me, and I fear that an application may cause stress. I thus am hesitant to apply. I am not opposed to the idea; it would be a useful way to do some positive work on topics I usually do not work on (I know the primary rule of administrators: never use one's Admin power to take control or end debate on an article that you yourself are editing!) Let me think about it. RK 21:06, Oct 9, 2004 (UTC)

I know that there are a number of outspoken Wikipedians who are not enamored of me. Heh, you and me both, it seems. I am a real faecal agitator sometimes. I even noticed that on RickK's user page he says at the top that he is not you. I really don't know much of you so I dunno, I was just going to put you up because of your number of edits. ---The Sunborn

Ban

As per the arbcom ruling, you are banned for four months. Snowspinner 04:22, Oct 15, 2004 (UTC)

RK, I'll explain in a little more detail. The findings of the AC, and the consequences to you, are laid out at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/RK. The findings generally were that your comments had crossed the line in the areas of personal attacks and legal threats, and that appropriate consequences were to ban you from Wikipedia for 4 months and from editing Judaism-related articles for one year. I want to emphasize to you that it is not an easy thing to ban a contributor here, especially a contributor who has, in many ways, done very good work. However it was the decision of the AC that your very good work in many areas was not enough to excuse your reactions to other editors -- while I cannot speak for them, I do know that it is my hope (and the hope of others) that you will return in 4 months to continue making your excellent contributions in fields such as biology. I bear you no personal ill will (certainly you never did anything remotely unkind to me personally), and I apologize once again for my insensitivity and lack of forethought in applying the block without first notifying you and allowing you the chance to set things in order on your user page. I hope you will forgive me. Regardless of whether you return, thank you for what you positively contributed for Wikipedia over your many months here as a contributor.

Wikipedia:Forum for Encyclopedic Standards

I have drafted a proposal for a new voluntary association on Wikipedia (joining groups like the Wikipedia:The Business and Economics Forum and the Wikipedia:Harmonious editing club) to promote discussion of a sort of system of expert review on Wiki. Please take a look and add your ideas. 172 02:36, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started the Free the Rambot Articles Project which has the goals of getting users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to...

1. ...all U.S. state, county, and city articles...
2. ...all articles...

using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) version 1.0 and 2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to the GFDL (which every contribution made to Wikipedia is licensed under), but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles (See the Multi-licensing Guide for more information). Since you are among the top 1000 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. So far over 90% of people who have responded have done this.

Nutshell: Wikipedia articles can be shared with any other GFDL project but open/free projects using the incompatible Creative Commons Licenses (e.g. WikiTravel) can't use our stuff and we can't use theirs. It is important to us that other free projects can use our stuff. So we use their licenses too.

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} template (or {{MultiLicensePD}} for public domain) into their user page, but there are other templates for 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:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

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:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

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 at my talk page what you think. It's important to know, even if you choose to do anything so I don't keep asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk) 14:23, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)
