Safari Club
Au contraire! It is one of the last "real Oregon places", very old school :) In any case, the bar is still open but the nightclub and restaurant are a Chinese restaurant. The window containing the taxidemery specimens (including the claimed world record tiger bagged in India in 1967) are still there. Certainly it has the air of a ruin. Might I ask, when were you there? -- Decumanus 04:58, 2004 Nov 14 (UTC)
- Oh I see you're a native. Forget I asked that question. I just moved back here after having gone to college in Salem many year ago. I also see you created the Willamette Meteorite article recently. I won't pretend I'm not jealous :) Best wishes.-- Decumanus 05:02, 2004 Nov 14 (UTC)
read your Victory Disease article
With no mention of 2003_occupation_of_Iraq; impressive restrain (and patience). WpZurp 22:11, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Requests for adminship
Could you please answer the questions at requests for adminship? It'll help others in their decision whether or not to support your request. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 08:03, Nov 26, 2004 (UTC)
PSU
Hey Dino, as it happens I also attended PSU (1981-85). Did you study math there? Whatever became of John Erdman? He was my all-time favorite prof, although/because his advanced calculus class nearly killed me. And I also moved to Boulder, to attend grad school. Yup, still here! Although the older I get, the less I like cold weather... Anyway, glad to see you're here, keep up the good work. Wile E. Heresiarch 15:31, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Congratulations, Dino, and Sorry!
Sorry to hear about your metacarpal, but on the positive side, it's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 20:40, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

RFC pages on VfD
Should RFC pages be placed on VfD to be deleted? I'm considering removing Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Slrubenstein, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jwrosenzweig and Wikipedia:Requests for comment/John Kenney from WP:VFD. Each of them was listed by CheeseDreams. Your comments on whether I should do this would be appreciated. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:35, 10 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 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. 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)
Two Collapse articles
I noticed you wrote an article under the title "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed". I also wrote one under "Collapse (book)". I guess the two articles should be merged. —Vespristiano 00:33, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
You asked whether Collapse is a 2004 book or a 2005 book. I receieved a copy of Collapse in 2004. On Amazon.com, the publication date was listed as 2004. I encourage you to settle this question. (I'll accept whatever you decide.) —Vespristiano 03:57, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
US deaths at the Battle of the Little Big Horn
The best number I know of is 262: 210 with Custer, 52 with Reno; six others died of wounds later. See my recent revision, the Nichols reference. best wishes, Seesdifferent 24.182.100.66 17:58, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Oppenheimer photo
There's no way you would have known, don't worry about it. LANL didn't label its source at all and unless I knew otherwise I would too have assumed it was a Los Alamos-owned picture. I only knew it wasn't because I once tried to secure rights for it a long time ago for a project I was working on and realized that it was a wire-press photo and thus owned by Corbis, who charges extortive licensing fees on historical photographs of that sort. Anyway, it was not your fault in the slightest! --Fastfission 19:25, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
