Demise of UMNO

The "Demise of UMNO" section you added to United Malays National Organisation is taken from here (http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Congress/5544/mayday7.htm). Do you have permission from the copyright holder for this? Jpatokal 05:51, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)

• It was not me that added that. Probably another user copied and pasted it earlier. I merely added a quotation mark. If you have checked the page history, you may well see that I was not the one that added the whole thing. The user that plagrarized was from 202.187.231.197. So, I am not the one that should be asked that question. __earth 23:07, Jul 28, 2004 (UTC)

Anwar Ibrahim POV dispute

You posted on the talk, and I was wondering if you could help balance out Anwar Ibrahim. I've placed the NPOV-dispute notice there as a result of several glaring omissions from the article about the government's point of view, Anwar's critics' point of view, and just about anyone's view except those who support Anwar. I've tried to NPOV it, but my edits are hampered by a lack of in-depth knowledge on Anwar and the claims of his critics. For more, you can see Talk:Anwar Ibrahim.

• I'll try. But with the latest development, I think there will be an edit war __earth 20:26, Sep 9, 2004 (UTC)

ms.wikipedia

Hi there. I've been keeping an occasional eye on Malaysia-related topics to find potential recruits for the Malay wikipedia. Maybe you'd like to head over, take a look, give a hand? Cheers, -- Kowey 20:49, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Kyoto

Thanks for that fine distinction you made about greenhouse gases. The Kyoto Protocol article really should distinguish between ghg's that it aims to regulate, and those it plans to take charge of later or just ignore altogether.

Also, do you know of any plans to modify and/or intensify the regulation scheme? Will an international board be set up to assign national quotas? --user:Ed Poor (talk) 17:01, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)

Not any that I know of. But the emission trading will be done via three method specified in the Protocol. That much I know. __earth 04:30, Dec 2, 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&section=new)| talk)

A Neo-Cultural Art

Although the poem was in the sandbox, it was a work of art, and therefore, it shouldn't have been deleted.

Aw, sorry. I'd put it back if nobody objects. __earth

Sandbox

Please don't libel people in the sandbox, even if only in jest. It is considered not nice. &#0xfeff; --fvw* 02:08, 2004 Dec 19 (UTC)

First, it's a sandbox. Second, look at the history. __earth 02:10, Dec 19, 2004 (UTC)

There are still rules in the sandbox though. Misattribution and libel are not allowed anywhere. I don't know who's creative mind the poem sprung from, I merely checked to see who most recently added it. And have a nice day yourself too.&#0xfeff; --fvw* 02:15, 2004 Dec 19 (UTC)

Unverified images

Thanks for uploading Image:Afcajax.jpg. I noticed that it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, [[User:Ricky81682|Ricky81682 (talk)]] 01:54, Dec 20, 2004 (UTC)

Sandbox again

Hi there, I'm afraid the sandbox has to be raked from time to time. If you want to save the page or the coding examples for future reference, please use a subpage as a personal sandbox like User:Earth/Sandbox. Mgm|^{(talk) 09:00, Dec 23, 2004 (UTC)}

Discrimination against non-Muslims in Malaysia

Er...why did you put in the misleading edit summary implying you were citing a source when you were really removing material from the article? Johnleemk | Talk 09:22, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

It's not misleading if you read it in context. I'd say "source cited" instead of "cite source" if I were citing source. There's difference between those two phrases. __earth 15:49, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Wan Azizah Ismail

Aloha. I was hoping you could comment on the VfD for Wan Azizah Ismail -- an earlier article of a more expanded duplicate you created: Wan Azizah Wan Ismail. Even though the google test shows more hits for the alternate name, I was wondering if you had any comments you could add on this issue. Thanks in advance. --Viriditas | Talk 01:23, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the headsup. __earth 15:09, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)

Malaya

As a geographical expression of course Malaya existed before 1948. I put a lot of work into this article so please don't make silly edits. Adam 14:20, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'm sorry. Wikipedia is a collaborative work. If you don't like to see you work being edited mercilessly, there's nothing I can do for you. __earth 03:53, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

I don't mind it being edited mercilessly. I object to it being edited thoughtlessly. Adam 23:29, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

MichiganDiagFall2004.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:MichiganDiagFall2004.jpg, however as you have licensed it under a non-Free license (CC by-nc-nd 2.0), it cannot be freely displayed on Wikipedia. Please consider dual-licensing it under one of the licenses listed here: Image_copyright_tags#Creative_Commons_Licenses. Thanks! --Bungopolis 06:15, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Your umich.edu homepage

Does ITCS actually provide PHP/SQL support? ✈ James C. 04:48, 2005 Apr 25 (UTC)

For basic student account, no. But I do believe with extra payment, they provide it for you. __earth 05:54, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)

Just wondering....
