User talk:Optim

I noticed that you deleted your talk page. Why did you do this? Blanking your talk page is considered acceptable since the old material is available in the history. Now the history is removed. User:Maximus Rex, 18:47, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Answered on your talk page. Optim 19:02, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC) Best wishes, wherever life may take you.:) User:Jamesday 19:08, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Optim, I hope you reconsider and come back. User:Danny 19:12, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hey! don't go! (well, please...). In any case, best wishes. User:Pfortuny 19:30, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I see some people are uncomfortable with you deleting your own user and talk pages. Would you mind undeleting them, listing them at Wikipedia:Speedy_deletions saying you're departing, and leaving me a message on my talk page? Then I'll delete them for you. User:Jamesday 19:45, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hi Optim, why are you leaving?—User:Eloquence 19:55, Mar 6, 2004 (UTC)

Hi Optim, won't you please reconsider? At least, please explain what's wrong and why you are leaving? If it's because of someone in particular, I feel that you can always ignore such people, and continue on to other articles. In any case, thank you for all the work you have done here, and you will be missed if you decide to leave for good. User:Dori 20:04, Mar 6, 2004 (UTC)

Hi Optim - I have been around for a short while only, but went through a lot of feelings on a broad scale, thinking this is absolutely silly and why waste any more second, to this is great, I may be contributing to something really worthwhile... May I consider you take a break, get a different perspective, and overall, be asured, that you are most welcome here. --Palapala

I hope you decide to come back. You are a positive influence on the work and the community - Texture 22:52, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Adding my wishes for you to reconsider. You are a good user, we need more of you - not less. Secretlondon 22:57, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)

My thoughts correspond to Secretlondon's. More people deserve your WikiCookies/pastries, Optim. Chris Roy 01:54, 7 Mar 2004 (UTC)

If you had never taken wikivacations, probably it is the good moment. We need the peace profond comments :-) ant

I echo ant's sentiments. I hope you'll be open to rejoining us after a break -- we'll keep the front porch light on for you. In any event, you're great and will be missed. Peace to you! BCorr ¤ Брайен 03:20, Mar 7, 2004 (UTC)

Hear, hear. I joined WP last month largely b/c of the goodwill and good-natured side projects of a few people I happened across -- and your flower-image and wiki-cookie projects were among them. I hope to see your smiling (well, upside-down) sig and hidden esoterica and peaceful aspect around here again, not only in the historical record. In peace, +sj+ 09:38, 2004 Mar 8 (UTC)

I will echo everybody's sentiment above. Please at least drop in for a nibble occasionally. Tuf-Kat 06:47, Mar 7, 2004 (UTC)

Best wishes. Thank you for all your contributions. I hope you return when you're ready. Isomorphic 07:12, 7 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I dont know you per se, but I do know: you will be back. ;) -SVtalk 07:18, 7 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I hope, after you had some time to sort out your feelings, that you will reconsider and return to our fold. →Raul654 17:39, Mar 7, 2004 (UTC)

Please consider coming back at some time in the future. My peace is a little less profound since I learned you left. :-( -- Cyan 20:13, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

You will be sorely missed, and more than welcome should you return. In the intervening time, wherever you endeavor, may you find peace profound. Jwrosenzweig 20:51, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

We miss you, Optim!! --Monsieur Mero 02:09, Mar 11, 2004 (UTC)

Please come back!!!

Please come back!!! Peace Profound, Perl 03:08, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Aaargh, come back!!! Κσυπ Cyp   09:02, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hey Optim, don't come back, come over to Wikibooks. That's where the real action in educational materials is. --karlwick

SLSS

Try TechTV or G4TechTV or The Riemann Hypothesis or Factorials or Minor Scale or Joseph Stalin or Microsoft Passport. Cuz I like them and if they got added to it'd be nice too. ;) Ilyanep (Talk) 20:42, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)

And now I notice that you're gone...I hope you come back...you made some very helpful contributions to wikipedia. Ilyanep (Talk) 20:43, 24 Jun 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&section=new)) (talk)}[[]] 14:43, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)
