Communist Party USA

Davodd, it looks to me like you merged articles dispite a {{MergeDisputed}} tag, without even responding to Fred Bauder's objection. I can't even reconstruct quite what you did. Precisely which articles did you merge? Communist Party of America now shows no history except that it was moved to Communist Party USA. I'm pretty sure a Communist Party of America article previously existed, and I know there was already an article at Communist Party USA before this move.

I am duplicating this comment at Communist Party USA, please respond there. -- Jmabel 18:28, Sep 8, 2004 (UTC)

Sorry

I was fixing/undoing it... then User:Benc put up the 'inuse' tag. He is done. So I am going back to COTW to undo my mistakes. Sorry. -- PFHLai 01:12, 2004 Sep 9 (UTC)

I have re-inserted your comment, and removed the vote that shouldn't be there. What happened was that two of the candidates had been pruned one day too early. I was trying to restore them, but I clumsily 'rollbacked' too much of the edit history. I hope everything is alright now. Please let me know if there are any more mistakes of mine at COTW that needs to be undone. Thanks. -- PFHLai 01:30, 2004 Sep 9 (UTC)

same-sex marraige stuff

I realize that the claim I made about Cambridge instead of Boston may have been false. I simply switched some words around, because the claim that Bpstpm os a suburb of Cambridge is more obviously false. Boston is the big city in Middlesex County. I lived in Newton, another suburb of Boston in Middlesex County, for sixteen of the first eighteen years of my life. If suburb indeed means municipalities in the same metro region, then Cambridge is a suburb of Boston. Even if it doesn't, Boston is not by anyone's definition a suburb of Cambridge.

A small request.

On Wikipedia:Duplicate articles you said "Send a note to me (or any other admin) on my talk page after you've finished the merge. Admins can easily merge histories" for a set of articles that's come up recently. Could you please do that for Thrift store and Charity shop? - RedWordSmith 16:59, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

im gorgous!!!!!

Indian Mutiny

As you called the vote on the merging of the Indian Mutiny page, I would like you to consider extending the deadline. As an interested party, I wasn't aware of the vote until yesterday and hence wasn't able to put forward my arguemnt until 2 days before the end of the vote. I also think that many other parties would be interested in voting, if the vote ends tomorrow (with ony 5 votes cast) I don't think that it shows a valid conensus, perhaps a minimum vote count should be required?

Image:Gestapo Flag.jpg

Where did you get Image:Gestapo Flag.jpg, could you upload it as PNG without the drop shadows and provide info on the origin. -- Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 15:04, 2004 Sep 12 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured_pictures_candidates/Archive-05

Hello Davodd, I noticed your picture promotions in the archive. Could you make sure you include the vote tallies when promoting/demoting, this makes it easier for others like me to verify the procedure. Also, I think you forgot to include promoted images on Wikipedia:Featured_pictures_visible. Just wanted to let ya know, keep up the good work, ciao! -- Solitude 09:40, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Image:2000-election map.jpg

Hello, not to be a kvetch, but the image is missing Hawaii and Alaska. ~ FriedMilk 02:21, Sep 20, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks. 48 out of 50 ain't bad, though. ;) ~ FriedMilk 06:00, Sep 20, 2004 (UTC)

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

I saw you've added CSI to the cleanup list. Can you give some specific examples of the POV issues you mentioned, so I can spend some time fixing them? Personally, I found it a pretty good article, but I'd be happy to help improve it. Please direct a response to my talk page. -- 131.211.151.97 09:30, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Original Research

Davodd, could you please tell me if a creator's commentary on a dvd is original research? It's not something hidden, nor is it uncommon; either a person chooses to listen or they don't. It doesn't stop the fact from existing though.

Much appreciated.Gnrlotto 02:49, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

ad-hoc Friday meetup?

I'll be travelling from Oakland --> Palo Alto Friday (awaiting a weekend-long conference); would love to meet some Wikipedians in the area. +sj + 21:37, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Culture of Greece

Culture of Greece is this week's Collaboration of the week. Please come and help it become a featured-standard article.

gay rights timeline

Almost everything on the gay rights timeline has a specific date, so I don't think the fact that the entry specifies this is enough reason to remove the entire item; I do agree that actual date information is best off in the separate pages. Anyway, the current somewhat condensed version of the original entries is fine by me. Keep up the good work. --fvw 16:27, 2004 Nov 10 (UTC)

U.S. embargo against Cuba

You voted for U.S. embargo against Cuba, this week's Collaboration of the week. Please come and help it become a featured-standard article.

DoD & Upper Midwest

You may have a ref that will change my mind, but i'm deleting the section on DoD def'n of Upper Midwest. I've only found one ref], but it includes in appendix A (Glossary) a def'n of "prairie pothole" that says that's where they happen there, specifically in the Dakotas & MN, which are excluded by the def'n you gave. I'm doubting DoD has a consistent def'n, tho my ability to search DoD feels pretty lame right now. What do you think? --Jerzy (t) 20:29, 2004 Nov 15 (UTC)

Merges.

Global protests against war on Iraq

I've merged Global protests against war on Iraq and Global protests against war on Iraq (pre-war). Please merge the histories. — Jeandré, 2004-11-16t14:31z

Thanks. — Jeandré, 2004-11-19t19:40z

History fix request

In response to a complex situation on Requested Moves, User:ExplorerCDT performed a copy and paste move from Euroskepticism to Euroscepticism. Can you fix the history? It should form a contiguous whole, so I don't think they'll be any problems. - RedWordSmith 18:42, Nov 25, 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 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:

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:

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) (talk)}[[]] 14:40, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)
