User talk:Abigail-II

I hope you'll reconsider. I've seen your work and it's extremely high quality. Don't let a few bad apples get to you. →Raul654 00:13, Jun 13, 2004 (UTC)

In fact, I did use talk pages. --Marcus2

For background, please take a look at the pre-blanking version of this very page.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Abigail-II&oldid=4060991). -- Curps 00:27, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Goodbye

from the pump

It was fun while it lasted. But I've no interest in working here as long as people just delete what they don't like without discussing it on the appropriate talk pages. There are more mature places on the internet to work. abigail@abigail.nl. Abigail

Oh dear, this is unfortunate. Abigail has done some sterling work on snooker players, and in general has been very dilligent doing unpleasant work on taxoboxes and other unexciting things. I was verging on nominating her for adminship ;( As far as I can tell, Abigail's unhappiness stems from a (frankly rather mild) category dispute. Abigail: please come back. Stuff like this happens all the time, and things generally aren't as contentious as they seem (okay, the anon who threated to behead me was somewhat contentious). It turns out I've read wikipedia's constitution (a privilege granted me by my inner membership of the 9th cabal, occupied only by myself and Jimbo's cat) and it turns out that, like the mob, once you're in, you're in. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 00:21, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I did not threaten to behead you. Were you talking about me? --Marcus2

Oh no (sorry folks, probably wasn't clear about that). That was some crazy dude, months ago. Sorry for any confusion. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 00:42, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Just so you know, Abigail, despite referring to himself in the feminine gender, is a he. Jdavidb 22:16, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

For background, please see the pre-blanking version of User_talk:Abigail-II (see [2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Abigail-II&oldid=4060991)).

I would urge her to un-blank her talk page and respond. You demand a discussion, and you've got one, so please participate in it. -- Curps 00:39, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)

From what I see here, (s)he did not demand a discussion, just stated his/her leaving. I don't think you are in the position to urge her (is it a her?) to do anything... Pfortuny 19:01, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Abigail is Abigail. Abigail transcends binary classification. PhilHibbs 09:20, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

The demands for discussion were made in her modification comments for the pages in question (the ones she added to the category), and also in the "category for deletion" page (since removed). She said, don't revert my changes without discussing it first. -- Curps 20:16, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

If you ever return...

If you ever return.....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 most active Wikipedians, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles.

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. -- Ram-Man 18:01, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)
