Re:Solitaire algorithm

Hi FiP,
Sorry to have done that, perhaps I should have notified you first. I was looking through new pages trying to filter them out. The reason i marked yours for speedy deletion was that it was just a little synopsis about the book, rather than an article about it. It did not have much context to it, so it was hard to decipher exactly what was going on. I guess it was a judgement call on both my and whoever deleted it's part that the article was too difficult to understand from the context provided.
What I suggest you do, is go to Cryptonomicon and either post on the talk page about what you'd like to add, or just add it and see what people think. Since that page is not very long yet, what you want to add probably belongs there, rather than its own page. Anyways, sorry to shock you with that, I'll try to give more explanations in general from now on when marking things for deletion.
One last thing, if someone marks one of your pages for speedy deletion and you see it, you can always post on the articles discussion page and contest the speedy deletion. The most likely argument is that the article might be valid enough to merit "Votes for deletion", in which case it would take a week for people to vote for and against it, before its deleted.

allright. but I DID write something in the article's discution :) anyways... I just read the cryptonomicon article and saw that the Solitaire algorithm link was red; that's why I added an exerpt from the book. I will see if i can add something to the main article. Allright thanks for your response :) FiP 08:32, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)

K, yeah I'm not a sysop so I'm not sure why it was deleted if you wrote something, glad its mostly cleared up at least. (; —siroχo 09:09, Jul 27, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks, but...

Thanks for your involvement and your attempts at maintenance, really, but unless you're really familiar with what is and what is not a candidate for speedy deletion, I'd ask you to avoid that area of maintenance. Calibrate is a dicdef, and unfortunately, dicdefs are not candidates for speedy deletion at this time. In the future, please list such articles on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion instead. Thanks. blankfaze | (беседа!) 13:20, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

P.S., I redirected it to Calibration. blankfaze | (беседа!) 13:23, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

there's no need to be so condescending. I was under the impression that such poor "dicdefs" were unanimously voted for deletion (see Votes_for_deletion#24-hours). If you disagreed with my decision to delete the article, why did you do it anyway? You say that I should have listed the page on VfD.. but you didn't list it there either; You just deleted its contents and turned it into a redirect. FiP 08:57, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Sorry if I came off rude. I have to do this sort of thing all the time because people don't take the time to read the policy, and it just gets annoying I guess. But I apologise. Anyhow, just because something will get unanimously voted for deletion at VfD does not make it a candidate for speedy deletion. So, in the future, just please stick to the cases on Wikipedia:Candidates for speedy deletion. Furthermore, I was only saying that if you come across any article you think ought be deleted but which is not a candidate for speedy deletion, you should list it on VfD. In this case, a redirect was a more logical solution. Thanks, again, and sorry if this message came off rude too. blankfaze | (беседа!) 17:44, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)

It's allright. I learn from my mistakes ^^ see ya. FiP 18:05, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Adventure game

• Article: fr:Jeu d'aventure
• Corresponding English-language article: Adventure game
• Worth doing because: More extensive than English-language article.
• Originally Requested by: FiP 15:49, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
• Status: Done by ShadowDragon. Currently residing at Talk:Adventure game/Translation from French. Still needs to be merged.
• Other notes: I'm putting this notice at Talk:Adventure game as well, with a request that someone take responsibility for the merge. If you want to do that, that would be great. -- Jmabel 22:31, Sep 9, 2004 (UTC)

translation

There is an enormous backlog at Wikipedia:Translation into English#French-to-English, more than for all other languages combined. I see you are signed up at Wikipedia:Translators_available#French-to-English. Would you be at all interested in taking on one of these articles? (Full disclosure: this is a bit of a "mass mailing", I'm working my way down the whole list of French-to-English translators.) -- Jmabel 00:11, Oct 10, 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)
