Hi there! Just dropping a note to let you know I noticed the changes you've made to the car safety article, and I appreciate them! --Woggly 06:46, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Hi, I'd like to see some improvement in the carbon fibre article (difference btw. carbon fibre and cf reinforced plastics) and generally the area of composite materials (see links there). Noticing that you added a whole section to the carbon fiber article, I thought, maybe you can be of some help. --Iediteverything 16:18, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Metatheria or Marsupialia?

Hello, PlatinumX. Responding to your comment on Talk:Marsupial, I created a forum page to discuss how the class Mammalia should be broken up taxonomically: Placentalia-Marsupialia or Eutheria-Metatheria?. I would be pleased if you would cast your vote. Thanks--Ingoolemo 07:21, 30 May 2004 (UTC)

Captions

Thanks for your work on Abraham Lincoln's captions. I went back and did something with the memorial caption as you suggested — I don't know if it's the best, but we're going the right direction, I think. Feel free to knock another article off the list! :-) -- ke4roh 19:02, Jul 19, 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)
