Thanks for fixing my [Saranac Lake] link. I'm getting the hang of this Wiki stuff.
I was wondering how you consider yourself a communist. In my opinion, someone who is anti-authoritarian cannot be a communist. I understand you are against capitalism, but if you believe the state shouldn't exist, that cannot be communism! If people are free to do as they wish we would still be a capitalist society.

It looks like there were copyright problems with the German-language article for which you requested a translation. I've moved this exchange here from Wikpedia:Translation into English; you can decide if there is some other avenue you want to pursue toward creating this article. -- Jmabel | Talk 22:32, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)

Hi. You mentioned that Image:Galicia.jpg came from the Romanian wiki. Does that page give any information about its copyright status? Do you know whether it's public domain or fair use or what? Thanks, – Quadell (talk) (help)[[]] 15:41, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)
Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)
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:
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:
OR
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)

Sir: I've made some edits to alien language, and I think it might be a more tenable article now. If you have a spare moment would you mind popping over there. If you think it's heading in the right direction, it's not too late to change your vote on Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Alien_language. Thanks, Bacchiad 20:20, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Please put semi-permanent templates like {{expansion}} that only are useful to editors, on talk pages (the only major exception I can think of would be the different stub templates). This is to Avoid self references as much as possible and make our content more useful to third party users. Thank you. :) --mav 09:07, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
The Stub is a reference to Christian/Hebrew belief as mentioned in the Old Testament. It is why I follow with the relevant Bible Chapter(s) for people to look at. Good to see that somebody at least looked at it! :) User Kingsean1
You said on a VfD discussion that since a certain user had only one edit, he was most likely a sock puppet. How do you justify this inference?
"Sockpuppet" does not mean "new user", and I'm trying to stop the use of the term to attack newbies. RSpeer 22:45, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
Hi there,
I was reading your edits to Somali language (I'm a linguist too), and I saw that you had:
[[Afro-Asiatic languages|Afro-Asiatic language]]
And I thought I'd let you know about a neat trick someone taught me, namely, you can get the same result with:
[[Afro-Asiatic language]]s
Saves a little typing, anyhow. Cheers! --babbage 19:59, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Hi, Levi (hm...it's a rhyme. Kewl). Anyway- I reverted the page on Tuđman to Tudjman since we (a few of us Croats here on en wiki) have agreed that names & surnames with diacritics (Tuđman, Krleža, Tin Ujević, Marin Držić,..) are more "visible" and accessible via google & the rest without them (Ujevic, Drzic,..). Appreciate help. Best Mir Harven 1 July 2005 21:42 (UTC)
You voted "Merge" in this discussion. I've laid out a detailed merger plan. Please review it and state whether you prefer it or some other form of merger. Uncle G 2005-07-02 00:15:17 (UTC)
I'm using Explorer 5.2.2. I'm not really that anxious to change, as constant upgrades are a hassle. But if an update to 5.2.2.0.0.1 or whatever insane numbers they make up will help things run smoothly then I guess I can look into it. And based on whats happened on this page I guess it is turning your signature in question marks. Sorry. This, by the way, is why I prefer to keep things simple. -R. fiend 2 July 2005 15:51 (UTC)
Hiya,
you recently voted to merge per Uncle G at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Matthew 1:verses
however, that VfD concerned only the verses from Matthew 1, wheras Uncle G's proposal covered a much larger group of verses.
would you be prepared to make a similar vote at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Individual Bible verses, which covers the full list of verses in Uncle G's suggestion?

Hi, Ливай. Regarding this, I just wanted to point out that you could change your signature to use HTML entities instead of plain UTF (I think), which will prevent some of those annoyances, at least. It took me forever to find a page that could do the conversion automatically, but this one works perfectly (at least for Russian and Japanese). Hope that helps! —HorsePunchKid→龜 03:47, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

Actually, the limitation still exists: the capital form of the long s ſ is simply S, and because the Wikipedia forces an article to start with a capital, ſ leads to S. But since only the 26 characters in the modern English alphabet are accepted as article letters apparently (see þ now at thorn etc.)--with the exception of ß--the 'wrong title' comment is not necessary.

Hi, the edit here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Down_by_the_Bay&diff=33521164&oldid=33208926
Now you see, the leetspoken lyrics were made to avoid a copyvio, under the pretext of "for parody's sake" to avoid going against "the spirit of" the copyvio. It's also instrumental in getting parents or anyone of older age demographics to feel and realize how difficult it was to read as a child. As it's a children's song, a child may have tried to read the lyrics with difficulty, and some would like to see how difficult.
Now in case there is some law that still makes a literary work a copyvio even if reproduced under another language (what law is that?), that's also why it was made in Leet, because Leet is not a real language. Therefore, as long as it's posted under the pretext of being a parody, then even the "spirit of" the rules aren't broken.
Now, what was your reason for deleting the leetspoken lyrics, and how do you respond to this post? --Shultz 16:38, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
I noticed that you were recently working on the Kazakh language article. I have added some information to the article. You've been at Wikipedia longer than me, and you probably are more knowledgeable in linguistics than I am. Would you mind looking at my recent edits and letting me know if there are any errors? Also, if anything is not up to par, feel free to delete or edit it. Thanks. Waynem 02:22, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

I take your point about random distribution of stars. I hope that you won't mind, but I removed the word "quite" from your phrase "strewn quite randomly." It seemed unnecessary, detracted from the sentence-flow, and appeared, in a strange way, a bit subjective. (Well, that's my take.)
Also, thanks for correcting the Orion link.

I'm not sure about your changes to this article. "-cracy" doesn't distinguish between economic and political authority. Both can be interpreted as "government", which essentially means "administration" and not state. Acracy opposes economic authority just as does anarchy. Note for instance words such as aristocracy, plutocracy, and meritocracy, which are terms of economic authority rather than (or in addition to) political. Sarge Baldy 00:39, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I’m currently writing an article on Wikipedia for the Daily Orange in Syracuse, NY. The article will focus on how Wikipedia is being used in academic environments, specifically college. I wanted to know if you, as a Wikipedia contributor, would be interested in a brief interview for the story. It will take 15 minutes tops, and it would be an enormous help to me. If you are interested, please contact me at ntmokey@gmail.com, my deadline is midnight on Friday (4/28) but I can work you in any time during the day, it will just be a quick discussion over the phone.

Howdy, I noticed that you and I seem to post in one or two articles dealing with progressive issues in political science/sociology. There's currently a debate beginning in Boston Tea Party as to whether the article should include the category . It meets definitions set in the articles Terrorism and Definition of terrorism, however, there are several self-proclaimed patriots who watch BTP who refuse to recognise the fact. The simple criteria for terrorism generally seem to be intimidation or destruction of property in order to change public policy or public opinion while a state of war has not yet been declared. Some users would rather use recent acts of terrorism as a yardstick, rather than using a firm definition, and hence lose their ability to discuss matters calmly. Would you be able to pop in to the Talk page and join in the discussion? Thanks much, samwaltz 05:03, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

An editor has nominated David Ozols, 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/David Ozols 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) 18:59, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Persone requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Hi,
I have noticed that you are using accounts Livajo in different Wikipedias but you have not merged them into a global account yet. Global accounts become mandatory since 15 April 2015, and all non-merged accounts will be renamed.
As of now, most likely you have accounts Livajo in other projects, notably in French or Esperanto Wikipedias, which are not merged with your global account. Please click on Special:MergeAccount and finish the unification process. You can check the state of your account unification at Special:CentralAuth/Livajo
If you don't merge your accounts by 15 April, your accounts (in Wikipedias other than English) can be renamed.
If you have questions you can ask them on my talk page. Best regards — NickK (talk) 17:52, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
