User talk:Securiger/Archive December 2004 - May 2006

Hi, you don't know me but you should know that a google search for [Coffield paradox] says in the first result summary that you have nominated the paradox as "original research". I don't think that is what you meant on the [VFD] page. The reason is that there is a wikipedia page ["nooks and crannies"] that advertises this position.Raazer 08:32, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Linear A images

Hi Securiger, I quite liked your touch on the images of Linear A. Indeed the color looks much better and the sharpening filter that you applied made the engravings clearer. Do you want to change the page to redirect them to the new images you edited? Thanks for your input and for your time.Portum 13:46, 2 Dec 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)

New Mathematics Wikiportal

I noticed you've done some work on Mathematics articles. I wanted to point out to you the new Mathematics Wikiportal- more specifically, to the Mathematics Collaboration of the Week page. I'm looking for any math-related stubs or non-existant articles that you would like to see on Wikipedia. Additionally, I wondered if you'd be willing to help out on some of the Collaboration of the Week pages.

I encourage you to vote on the current Collaboration of the Week, because I'm very interested in which articles you think need to be written or added to, and because I understand that I cannot do the enormous amount of work required on some of the Math stubs alone. I'm asking for your help, and also your critiques on the way the portal is set up.

Please direct all comments to my user-talk page, the Math Wikiportal talk page, or the Math Collaboration of the Week talk page. Thanks a lot for your support! ral315 02:54, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC)

Graham's number

Did you remember the question that you asked at Talk:Graham's number nearly a year ago about Graham's number minus 2 being prime?? I answered it finally. Georgia guy 22:27, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Evatt

Heyho. Sorry I was cranky earlier. I will rewrite that section - I'll read up on it, and see if we can get our sources to agree with each other :). Of course you're quite right, it is important to that Australia's involvement in VENONA be detailed, and the text should certainly stay, until I can come up with some sort of rewrite. Cheers, Slac speak up! 07:08, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Firestorm

I'll add it to my watchlist. I edited it basically on a lark (I think I followed one of the comic book links or something), but I'm glad to help out where I can. Kaisershatner 14:09, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Erich von Däniken

Hello Securiger,

I used the paragraph on Däniken's early crimes and his forgery for the German Wikipedia. I have been asked about other sources apart from the English article on him. Though I remember having read about this a couple of years ago in a paper, I don't have a source right now. Could you help me out with a hint to a reliable source? Thanks in advance! --Rainer Wolf 20:53, 11 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the links! --Rainer Wolf 23:01, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for Brigade

Hello, good work on Brigade, and thanks for the contribution. However, you did not provide any references or sources in the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. From what websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to Brigade? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? You can simply add links, or see WP:CITET if you wish to review some of the different citation methods. Thanks! Lupin|talk|popups 23:28, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wikivacation

Still hope to see you around from time to time! Would you mind if I put User:Securiger/scratch live? — Matt Crypto 10:39, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've replied at User_talk:Matt_Crypto#Nihilist_cipher_scratch_page. — Matt Crypto 17:59, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Scratch cat.

Hiya - you may want to deactivate the category in User:Securiger/scratch, as it's showing up in Category:Classical ciphers. Regards, Ziggurat 20:29, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
