A quick note: when you create new articles, try not to give them too-generic titles. Wikipedia is a general encyclopedia, so an entry like Yearly maintenance should refer to yearly maintenance of absolutely anything you care to name. Creating such an article and talking about only bicycles is rather confusing. I renamed that article to Yearly bicycle maintenance, but it's something you might want to be aware of in future. Thanks, --Morven 03:21, 20 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Please note the highlighting convention: the title word or title phrase is highlighted at its first appearance in an article, like this. Someone took care of this in storm drain. 134.84.86.55 17:36, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Thanks for your note about Fay Wray. I don't live in Toronto, so if a star for Fay Wray isn't there, please revert my change. I was basing my change on information from a CTV news report dated 8.9.2004. If that information's wrong, I'm wrong. ffirehorse 05:17, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Bicycle

Thanks for the helpful edits ... as opposed to the goofy stuff that often appears as I try to buff this up to "feature" status. this is a tough one, since everyone demands a "world view" of something I know mostly from an American viewpoint. Sfahey 18:14, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Image

Thanks, I forgot to put the GPL note. I made the image, so I give it to the public domain. --Gengiskanhg 23:15, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

copy of talk from Medicare (response) plus emphasis on additional concerns

No problem...i cut and paste to the word processor to try and find spelling errors or typo's (someone finally suggeted it to me after a month or so). It looks good. I'm still concerned about the 98% statistic. I think it is wrong, and i study this kind of thing (as an activist). Where do we bring it if we think a statistic is wrong so tht it will get publicly posted so more people will see it and maybe it can be fixed...i'm putting this on your talk page too in case you miss this...i've also done some more work on the page. The reorganization of reforms was nice if you did it. (well nice regardless)

Than 98% of hospital costs covered isn't right...it goes with the term lies damn lies and statistics (and i did university statistics). It depends on what they are calling medical costs. I want this challenged and some type of discussion to occur on what stats to use or at least say what the statistics include...i know you aren't the one who put it in (from what i can tell anyway) but you've been here longer than me so i thought you might have some idea on what to do about it. My talk page is waiting <wink>--Marcie 18:11, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Kryptonite design

I appreciate the information you added to Kryptonite lock, but I don't like the phrase "Until recently". Someone might be reading it ten years from now. Would it be correct to say that, until 2004, most Kryptonite locks used that design? JamesMLane 21:58, 26 Nov 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)

West End Theatre

You voted for West End Theatre, this week's UK Collaboration of the week. Please come and help it become a featured-standard article. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 23:26, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Union image

Thanks for the image on Union Station (Toronto), it looks great. Radagast 05:00, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)

Toronto meets

I just stumbled across the meets, which is apparently taking place tonight one major street away from me. I don't see any RSVPs on the web page though. Did anyone show up? Do they generally RSVP or not? Maury 02:07, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
