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)
My rights
In response to your quary about my Newcastle picture; I dont know. I took the picture and would like it to be used limited. Thats why I put the (c) there. I do not mind any Wikipedians using it though, as long as I am credited, _and_ that I am informed of the exact use.

- Hm, I see... I was going to put it into Commons (had it been GFDL'd or something), and use it at the Finnish Wikipedia article by linking directly from there. But I dunno. In general, I suggest that you explicitly state the licenses of images in the description pages, and mark them with an appropriate tag. I'm not sure what that could be in your case, but see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for a complete list. --Jonik 18:18, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- OK, Any use here on Wiki (or Wiki`s in other languages) is clearly OK, as Iv uploaded it here.. Am I still a bit vague here, not figuring out what license I will go for? As I said, I`m happy for it to be used, I just would like to be informed... No licenses incorporate that ? -Antwelm 08:09, 2005 Jan 23 (UTC)
Redirects
Just in case you don't know, the correct syntax for a redirect is
#REDIRECT [[New article]]

Finnish maps
I found that you had created a very nice Helsinki location map on fi.wikipedia and would like it on Commons. Before I shift it - is it one of a series of images? If so, could you provide me a link of a page listing these maps. Also, perhaps you'd like to upload them to list you as the uploader? --Oldak Quill 00:29, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Hmm, indeed there are location maps for several cities, all based on templates by User:Jniemenmaa (who should get most of the credit). But, as far as I know, there isn't a centralised list of all of these, or anything like that. And yeah, maybe it would be good to have one.
- Here are some examples that come to mind: [1] (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Location_of_Jyv%C3%A4skyl%C3%A4_in_Finland.png) [2] (http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuva:Oulu_Suomen_maakuntakartalla.png) [3] (http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuva:Kuopio_Suomen_maakuntakartalla.png) [4] (http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuva:Tampere_Suomen_maakuntakartalla.png). Probably there are several others too, and not all made by me. After copying them to Commons, maybe they could be listed on a subpage of this, or something?
- Feel free to upload these to Commons yourself, I'm a bit busy with work & studying right now, so I'll keep Wikipedia stuff to minimum (or at least try to)... :-) --Jonik 18:35, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Interlang links order
Hej. Thank you for your information at Wikipedia:Language order poll noting w:fi:Wikipedia:Luettelo Wikipedian kielista. This seems very useful (though I cannot read Suomi, I can grasp the meaning). I know 日本語 is Nihongo as a Japanese, but I cannot read arabia nor hindi in their original pronunciations. So thanks again! - Marsian // talk 09:15, 2005 Apr 4 (UTC)
- You're welcome. :-) Also check out this tool (http://db.cs.helsinki.fi/~jjkarppi/wikipedia/interwiki.php), in case you ever need some help in putting the interwiki links to the particular order that we use at fi-wiki. (Although I actually have some doubts about it – perhaps "Bahasa Indonesia" should be ordered by "Indonesia" and not by "Bahasa", etc.) --Jonik 20:44, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Image:Helsinki Cathedral.jpg
This image has been moved to Wikicommons (Image:Helsinki Cathedral in July 2004.jpg) so I have listed it at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. However, I would like to point out that since you first uploaded it under the GFDL license, you may not change the license to cc-by-sa. Regards, Thuresson 01:29, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Actually, I think you are slightly wrong. Since I own the copyright to that image, I may release one version of it under GFDL, and later another under a CC licence (or whatever), if I wish to do so. Note that these are in fact different images (one is 130KB and the other 79KB).
- None of this is very important, but since you brought it up... :-) --Jonik 18:54, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Queen Elizabeth II
Please note that I have disputed the neutrality of this article. Jguk reverted my NPOV template, claiming that the NPOV dispute is just a personal campaign of one person. Whig 09:22, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
- I see. But why are you telling this to me? I don't remember having edited that article ever, nor do I have much interest in all these silly disputes. :-) --Jonik 09:34, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
La Paz Photo
Thanks for moving my La Paz Photo to wikpedia commons and restoring to the La Paz article. There's some more photos here (http://www.waynemclean.com/wordpress/lazy-index.php?file=Bolivia_And_Brazil/) if you ever want to use them. Kiitos!
