Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need any questions answered about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. BTW, nice work on the Square dance article. Cheers! --maveric149
I love the changes you made to my paragraph in the article Square dance! Now that the paragraph is more meaningful, perhaps we should move it to Western square dance, and leave only a brief summary sentence in Square dance? David 08:22 Sep 4, 2002 (PDT)
Bienvenue and thanks for adding yourself to Wikipedians/Queer! - user:Montrealais
Hi, I am a new comer here, and I found u at Queer wikipedians. I am now working mainly on Chinese verision about gay-related articals. And I think you can help me a lot. Hopefully we can be friends! :D --Gboy 04:09 9 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Hi, I moved the pieces of this JerkSaves into a separate page Dance in mythology and religion, since I suspect the war with him will be long, so let it be isolated. Mikkalai 03:56, 21 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- Sorry about editing your page, rather that the talk. As so JesusSaves, I intend to deal with him accoring to [[1] (http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights#Using_copyrighted_work_from_others)], but after a 1-2 week delay, to quench his zeal and to hide my tracks :-) Mikkalai 19:27, 21 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Good job
Nice work on those Chicago articles.
Category:Plants
Hi Sfdan - could you hold fire on adding [[Category:Plants]] until all the discussion of what categories to add where are sorted (see lengthy discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Tree_of_Life) - Thanks, MPF 21:02, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Danish wikipedians' notice board
You have shown an interest in Denmark or Danish related topics in the past, so I invite you to have a look at Wikipedia:Danish wikipedians' notice board. It is a tool to help people interested in Denmark post articles they'd like to see, and to keep track of the existent coverage of Denmark. It can also serve as a place to address concerns regarding any aspect of Danish coverage on the english wikipedia. Hope you find it useful! In any case, could you please look at it and fill in any articles you know of that are not covered by the list? Thanks,

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§ion=new)| talk)
Dogmatic edits
Hi. Just in case you haven't noticed yet, in re Council of Chalcedon, there's no need to write [[dogma|dogmatic]], since [[dogma]]tic will do the same thing (the whole word, including -tic at the end, will appear as a clickable link. Similarly, [[hypen]]ated, [[Australia]]n, [[dog]]s, [[logic]]al, etc. Michael Hardy 02:18, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
VfD on Jewish ethnocentrism
Hi Sfdan, the Jewish ethnocentrism article is currently up for deletion. You'll find the discussion, and can vote, at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Jewish ethnocentrism. Jayjg (talk) 19:53, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Category:Gay travel destinations
Hi - I see you've created a category for gay-friendly travel destinations. Rather than use a category for this, what would you think about using a list? I suspect most (if not all) of the places you've added to the category are better known for many more reasons than gay-friendliness and adding them to this category implies a significance that I think is not warranted. There's a slight POV-ism involved as well (what does it mean for a place NOT to be in this category?). If there's a purely objective way to describe membership (for example, places self identifying as "safe for gays" by adopting the inverted pink triangle) then I think a category would be appropriate. I don't think any subjective criteria really cuts it. What do you think? -- Rick Block 20:21, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

FYI: There is already an article that includes a list of gay resorts at Gay village, and there is also the Category:Gay villages (which needs to be filled up more). I only noticed your Gay travel destinations Category because you added Long Beach, California (which is on my watchlist) to the category. I can tell you that although Long Beach has a fairly large but rather low profile gay population, it's not much of a gay tourist destination except for their Gay Pride Parade and Festival. For more information, there are some comments about the appropriateness of a "gay village" designation for Long Beach at Talk:Gay village#Long Beach.
- [Just a side note: I noticed your interest in country dancing and tap dancing. I was surprised that you hadn't combined the two and done any clogging.] BlankVerse ∅ 08:15, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Personality
Hello, I just wanted to say that I checked out your website and I find it amazing to run into someone who is American but has spent a considerable amount of time in Denmark, is gay, and also into leather/uniforms. Keep up the good work :) Páll 22:01, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Clogging (and other comments)
In my 20's, when I was living in San Diego, California, I would sometimes going out dancing 6 nights a week. I was doing country dancing (including a little teaching), east-coast swing, street hustle, some occasional ballroom and Latin dancing, some basic rock n'roll, and for about three years, some clogging as well. The clogging was lots of fun, but also lots of exercise. Now that it's ?? years later, I've wanted to write a Wikipedia article on clogging, but it would take some serious digging for me to do it right since it has been so long since I've done any clogging (I hate seeing half-assed stubs on the Wikipedia and refuse to write one myself). So far all I've done is a little work on the Country/western dance, including expanding the description of clogging in that article.
re: Columbia Fun Maps site/Long Beach: If you had followed their link to Long Beach, you would have found that the article was mostly about Laguna Beach (which is about a 45 minute drive from Long Beach). Although you wouldn't know it, the very shitty map on that page doesn't even include the main streets where most of the gay businesses in Long Beach are (and I know that at least one of the two businesses that are shown on that map was torn down about a year ago and is now a drug store). If their Long Beach page is any example, I wouldn't trust anything from that website.
re: Category:Gay travel destinations: I've seen some real hostility in the CfD voting to anything gay-oriented, so I am not surprised at some of the votes and comments. In this case, however, I do think that the information is more appropriate for an annotated list rather than a category. A category only for those tourist destinations that are strongly identified as gay resorts, such as Fire Island and Provincetown might work better, but might also be too small for a category.
