User talk:Estel~enwiki/Old bits

Please add some ideas about additions to the page for the National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth. I'm currently working on a clean-up and the NPOV ideas.

Your message to Fred Bauder

Hey, Estel? Just to suggest that you might want to move your message to Fred Bauder to the bottom of his talk page. (I nearly shifted it myself, but that felt just a bit too interfering.) The thing is, I think there's little chance that he'll notice it if it's not at the bottom. If you wanted to show that it's connected to mine, you could always use a headline something like "National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth II". I'm very sorry if it sounded like I was implying that you generate a lot of need for copyediting, I don't think that at all. Best, Bishonen 23:02, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay

Hi Estel, sorry for the delay, I got called away with work. I have to admit to having difficulty telling which out of this user's many edits you're referring to. In any case the place to bring this up is at Wikipedia:Copyright problems where, if it is a problem, I'm sure there are people that will pick it up and deal with it efectively. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 01:58, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

delete macro

Heya, good to see you on Recent Changes patrol. Keep in mind you can use {{del}} instead of {{delete}} (and similarly, {{db|reason}} instead of {{deletebecause|reason}}). --fvw *† 15:30, 2004 Nov 29 (UTC)

For telling me about the {{del}} and {{delreason|}} tags - I didn't know about them. It'd be good if they'd have been better publicised ;). Estel 15:45, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)

delreason? I think you're making them up now :-). Anyway, they are pretty well publicised. I put them on people's talk page when I see people RC-patrolling without. It's a high-effort but effective method… --fvw *† 15:52, 2004 Nov 29 (UTC)

Ailerons

Nathan - article Aileron already exists - would you like to merge your new information with the existing page?

Cheers Jeff Knaggs 15:49, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC) (also from Bristol)

Cripes - I really ought to have spotted that the first was a duplicate article. As far as I can see: there isn't any new information at all in my edit, so there's no need for any merge. Estel 15:54, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)

The Humungous Image Tagging Project

Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

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)

Cleanup?

I'm intrigued to know why you have left a "cleanup" tag at the entry for Claspknife. Could you let us know exactly what the problem with it is, in your opinion? Perhaps the fact that there are no links to other entries? There might perhaps be a case for wikifying the one word "penknife" but then again (if you've seen that currently somewhat unenlightening entry) there might not. Considering the entry for Claspknife is only 124 words long, might it not perhaps be better for the image of Wikipedia for you to have done the job yourself, rather than leave a great big sign on it saying "This article needs to be edited to conform to a higher standard of article quality (etc etc)", for an indefinite period? I'm just curious. Harry 00:13, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hmm... I can't actually remember adding that :S. But I've removed it now and done a small but of wikifying. The Wikipedia:Cleanup page seems to say at any rate that I placed the tag for wikifying rather than anything else. So perhaps I could have used the wikify tag. Sorry for putting the cleanup tag on. I've revised it and removed it as of now Estel 10:48, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. Harry 18:38, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your message

Thanks for your message, this is just to let you know that I'm not ignoring you, I'm just at work at the moment and what you're asking me to do could take up more time than I have to spare just now. I'll take a look at the issue when I get home from work later tonight. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 17:24, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
