Just wondering if Jim from Huck Finn would qualify as a Magical Negro. Though he doesn't have powers, he's presented as wiser than Huck (at least sometimes). What's your opinion? Meelar 05:47, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- It's a debatable point, which is why I left Jim out of the list. He seems more human and less sentimentalized/romanticized than the other characters on the list. I suppose a good argument for him being an example of the archetype might change my mind, but I think that Jim is complex enough to be left out of the article. Andrewlevine 07:26, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)
About your nickname for the $20 bill
You say that there is a common nickname for the $20 bill that you put on the U.S. twenty dollar bill page that was most common in the early 20th century. More specifically, is this before, during, or after the Grover Cleveland $20 bill was in circulation (1914 to 1928)?? 66.32.77.239 23:27, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- According to the very reputable etymology-and-usage site Language Hat [1] (http://www.languagehat.com/archives/000496.php) and other sources, the term "sawbuck" as applied to a $10 bill dates back to the 19th century. I would guess the term "double sawbuck" was used for the Cleveland note. I know that the slang phrase shows up in the detective fiction of the 1930s and 1940s. Andrewlevine 23:55, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)

History of the United States 1988-Present NPOV dispute
Hi there Andrew - I was reading this article tonight and noticed a paragraph which you added which I believes shows a little hint of bias. The paragraph in question specifically is about the pull out of support for Operation Iraqi Freedom from Spain and South Korea. You fail to mention the 11 March 2004 Madrid attacks in Spain which influenced that election drastically. In addition, South Korea also had impeachment hearings against its President, which led to the rival party to gain wins in its Parliament.
I'm not sure how to word these additions to this article, that's why I have put it into NPOV dispute for the time being. Feel free to get back to me on my discussion page. --Mrbrown 08:10, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

a.t.s.
Hey Andrew, are you an old a.t.s'er? I wonder if memory serves me correctly... Krupo 06:41, Nov 2, 2004 (UTC)
- Cool - I posted as AcK! way back when. Eventually drifted away... only to be sucked into Wiki a few years later. ;) Krupo 04:03, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)
Napier's bones
I noticed you were planning to work on the square root section of Napier's bones. I found the current machine translation troublesome to deal with, and have started to write a first draft from scratch. Didn't want to step on your toes if you're working on something similar, but if you haven't started on it, would be great if you think starting from scratch might be more trouble than it's worth, or suggest things that would improve this draft etc etc.
Regards,

- Go right ahead. Andrew Levine 19:05, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
VfD: List of songs with brackets in their titles
I noticed you've contributed to pages of lists of songs in the past. This page is now on Votes for Deletion and some deletionists would like to set a precedent for these kind of pages. Would you consider taking part in the vote? Thanks. [[User:Dmn|Dmn / Դմն ]] 13:21, 6 Dec 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:
- {{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 what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit§ion=new)| talk)
VfD Simpsons
I was adding my vote to The_Simpsons_family_tree and I noticed that there is this: The_Simpsons_Uncensored_Family_Album. Both started by the same user, the second started 1 day after the VfD. -Jonamerica 21:06, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
