Stephen King Books
[edit]Hi Watcher. I have made your deletion requests for your old Stephen King pages into redirects, instead of deleting them. This way, if somebody types Word Processor of the Gods, they land in the right place. Thanks for your contributions. -- Chris 73 | Talk 11:33, 10 May 2004 (UTC)
Mozilla
[edit]I don't follow you when you say "you say you did all the IT build support"; can you tell me where you saw that? I've not done much with Mozilla except run it and peruse the web site.
Anyway, I don't think I've tinkered with complex builds either. Most of the programming that I work on is my own stuff (mostly trivial stuff) or for work.
Sorry!

Dante
[edit]Well, it's certainly not a direct quote, as I learned by doing a bit of digging. President Kennedy seems to have attributed the line to Dante, and it was likely taken from a passage in Inferno, perhaps liberally translated. http://www.bartleby.com/73/1211.html is a reference. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 07:26, May 24, 2004 (UTC)
Efficient Learning Method
[edit]Hi, in some cases, like how to teach dynamic programming, or how to explain the earth revolving at its axes, and how it revolves the sun, at the same time the moon revolves the earth and the sun. It is not quite easy to explain these things merely using books, it needs lot of dynamic/changing graphics or photos or computer graphics to describe what we meant. Also in some cases it could meant how efficient or how fast could we teach a person to do some specific task as planned, like Building a home, etc with less overhead. I don't think I'm competence enough to continue writing in this topic. But hey, this is wikipedia, let's hope someone could develop this article. Roscoe x 09:22, 28 May 2004 (UTC)
Article Licensing
[edit]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| talk)
Learning styles
[edit]Learning styles has been nominated for Collaboration of the Week. You might be interested. --Westendgirl 04:14, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
MEChA
[edit]I noticed your edits to MEChA. Are you the same Watcher who posts on the SOS forum?--Rockero 18:55, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Hey I see that you've changed the above from a redirect to a disambiguation page. You should know that the redirect was the result of a debate (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dawg). I don't think you're recreating deleted content exactly since you've added something new. I've been thinking that this needed to be a redirect as well, but for other reasons (with a link to David Grisman, aka Dawg). I suppose it is OK for us to go ahead with this. What do you think? -MrFizyx 02:17, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
AfD nomination for EditPad
[edit]An article that you have been involved in editing, EditPad, has been listed by Vacuum Cleaner 01 (a self-admitted sockpuppet) for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/EditPad. Thank you. --Urod 04:56, 17 May 2007 (UTC), fixed --Urod 04:57, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Notability of Embassy of God
[edit]
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Embassy of God, by Sir james paul (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Embassy of God seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Embassy of God, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Embassy of God itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 00:13, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Freelancing on the Internet
[edit]
An editor has nominated Freelancing on the Internet, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Freelancing on the Internet and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 17:00, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
The article Mpatrol has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Non-notable software marked for notability since September 2008. No references.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
