Well then, thanks! I'm enjoying this place already. :) Alerante 21:29, 25 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Welcome
Just wanted to say that I'm happy to see another Triangle-area Wikipedian contributing to articles of local interest... I (belatedly) welcome you to the Wikipedia community! -- Seth Ilys 22:10, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Well, thank you. I did sadly notice a lack of people from the area as well. Maybe it's not too late to invite friends to jump on the bandwagon. :) alerante 23:26, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Floor 13
Floor 13 is a re-direct page to Thirteenth floor. Why, then, do you have a link to Floor 13 on the thirteenth floor page?? I think this means you are planning on making floor 13 a dis-ambiguation page. 66.245.17.129 14:57, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Aack! I thought Floor 13 was a disambig. I'll go fix that. [ alerante | “” 15:19, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC) ]
Mexican emergency number
Is the Mexican emergency number spelled out with dashes or just given as one number? —Morven 18:58, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- I'm not sure that it really makes a difference. I spelled it out like that mainly because all the other ones (9-1-1, 9-9-9, etc.) were like that. If it's wrong, you can change it. [ alerante | “” 20:40, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC) ]
Pencil thingy
I had accidentally left off the semicolon before, but it started showing up as broken when mediawiki 1.3 was installed. The older version apparently fixed it before display. It's been fixed for new comments for a while now, but there's old comments I've made that are still broken. -- Cyrius|✎ 01:21, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Okay. Possibly because I was gone on vacation for three weeks, still saw some broken comments, and posted that. ;) [ alerante | “” 13:26, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC) ]
About JavaScript
I started Entrying the JavaScript Section --195.22.29.154 14:14, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Hi Alerante! Can you all work out any differences and merge those two articles? They both have a lot of great content. +sj+ 08:58, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- I'll see what I can do (I haven't spent that much time on Wikibooks lately, but I'll try to make this change soon). [ alerante | “” 20:35, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC) ]
Hey
My name is Roger Que. I'm a fourteen-year-old from Cary, North Carolina who, more often than not, can be found on the computer listening to random music and making wiki edits — so often, in fact, that I scored a 53 79 86 132 (should I be worried?) on the Wikipediholic test (although I do not keep a window open to Recent changes, I have school to worry about too). Go ahead, laugh. You won't be laughing when everyone laughs at you for not being a Wikipedian in a couple of years. Ha!
You're not the only one. I'm 13 and I live in Illinois. — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 00:36, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Hey! You're a sysop and bureaucrat too! Not fair! :P [ alerante | “” 22:06, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC) ]
Re;: Pronunciation
Hey, yeah it is a chi, but only for look. In my mind, its pronounced like an "x", although that doesn't mean much, since its derived from memory addresses — 0x0. I used that as a name in several fps and rts games I played, because it also looked like a face. I changed to sir0x0 and then siroxo when i bumped into others who used that name. In wikipedia i've used the italicized chi, χ, simply because it really fits cleanly between the two o's. (: —siroχo 23:18, Oct 11, 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)
