RjLesch, you might want to have a look at the changes/comments I made on the Wikiproject Sports Franchise Listing --User:Robert Merkel

I noticed that I have been neglecting to welcome people here, after the recent deluge of new hands. I know you've been around and very hard at work. So, welcome and thanks! --User:Larry Sanger

wikified all the Hall-of-Famers, and Ripken, who will probably get there someday

And today's "Understatement Of The Year Award" goes to User:RjLesch

You never can tell -- suppose he starts hanging out with Pete Rose? - rjl

Please, for God's sake! Bohemian Rhapsody is on Opera not on Races! :-)

My apologies for the slip of the mouse. - rjl

RjLesch, I see you are starting to set some templates for the Olympic Games celebrations. I think that's a good idea, though I may have some additions and suggestions. Maybe it is possible to document this template using the WikiProjects? I'll let you know more later --User:JHeijmans

I have made a first draft for the Games in Athens, 1896, that's probably the best way to try. Please comment! I will add lots of info later, need to get my paper sources available at work :-) jheijmans

Olympic Games Templates

I've seen the proposals for the olympic games details and wondered if you would like to see what I have done for the 2006 Commonwealth Games. I've started alphabetically and have today done Aquatics and Athletics.

I have also entered details on Athletics at the 2004 Summer Olympics as it didn't seem that anybody had really started work on the pages yet??

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)

Main namespace cleanup

Heya, I've moved RjLesch/ToDo to User:RjLesch/old-ToDo. There's some edit history, so perhaps you want to keep it. Otherwise just delete it (or ask an admin to do so). &#0xfeff;--fvw* 20:27, 2004 Dec 14 (UTC)

In an effort to clean up the main namespace, I've moved your old userpage to User:RjLesch/old, as there's some edit history you might want to keep. Otherwise just delete it. --fvw* 12:12, 2004 Dec 31 (UTC)

expos/nationals debate

There is a major debate going on, and I wondered if you might want to chime in. The debate involves how to deal with franchise moves in baseball. The question is whether Montréal Expos should be its own article or if it should redirect to Washington Nationals. All other instances of franchise moves in MLB redirect the old team name to the new team name, and the history of the franchise is covered within the new team name (for MLB, NBA and NFL examples, see here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Votes_for_deletion/Montr%E9al_Expos). Some people are confused and think the Expos and the Nats are different teams. Some people don't want to upset Canadian readers.

Indeed, the Washington Nationals are not a new team - the Montreal Expos franchise has moved to Washington, and the old franchise name should redirect to the new franchise name, just like the 20+ instances of this occuring in Wikipedia. For example, Brooklyn Dodger history resides in the Los Angeles Dodgers article. New York Giants history, including the Shot Heard 'Round the World, resides in the San Francisco Giants article.

If you have the time, maybe you could chime in on the conversation there, Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Montréal Expos. Kingturtle 23:16, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
