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:

{{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)}[[]] 14:44, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)

Proposals for AMA Membership Meeting

As AMA Coordinator I am requesting that suggestions be placed on Wikipedia:AMA Membership Meeting plans for our first membership meeting, to be held in the near future, (hopefully before any election occurs.) Since we have never had any kind of "official" meeting we need to discuss how this will occur (i.e. Wiki pages or IRC channel), how it will be structured (i.e. meeting agenda) and if there will be any "chair" to supervise the meeting and meeting "secretary" to write up minutes or keep some kind of official record of what transpires. Thanks in advance for your input and your continued work as an advocate. — © Alex756 20:30, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

lots of edits, not an admin

Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list, although there is certainly no guarantee anyone will ever look at it. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 14:12, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

Human Rights Servey on Wikipedia (The final post of I_sterbinski)

Dear all,

Wikipedia was recently a subject of intensive research of an huge international human right organization. A team of people from different nationalities and ages were acting on Wikipedia for 20 days, investigating previously noted anomalities of Wikipedia free editing and forming a final report, which (between the others similar reports) will later be a guide to all future moves of the organization concerning Wikipedia. Acting under an account of a real person, their privacy is to be held private. Therefore, very few private information will be revealed.

Also, this is a result of the lack of final possition of the organization concerning Wikipedia and human rights, which was still not formed.

The team's final post on Wikipedia, where they explain their actions can be found on the following addresses:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:I_sterbinski

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Macedonia#Human_Rights_Servey_on_Wikipedia_.28The_final_post_of_I_sterbinski.29

The team would like to thank to all the persons who took part in the correspondence with us.

We also want to appologise for keeping our identity secret for a longer period.

Best regards,

Aleksandar, Biljana, Asparuh, Christos, Valjon, Michael and Ana Luiza

Hello, good work on Kozu Station, and thanks for the contribution. However, you forgot to add any references to the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and 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 Kozu Station? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? You can simply add links, or there are several different citation methods list at WP:CITET. Thanks! Lupin|talk|popups 19:57, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

KKs and American corporations

I was glad to see some of the changes you made to the article on kabushiki gaisha. It looks like an earlier contributor didn't know that any incorporated entity is a corporation, let alone many of the finer distinctions between types of corporations.

In your edits today (23 January), you refer to "closed KKs" and "non-closed KKs"; I'm uninformed about these terms (closed vs non-closed); could you elaborate on these a little? I'm familiar with "closely held" companies—ones whose unlisted shares are held by a small group of people—and was wondering if there is any distinction here; e.g., "closed" KKs being ones whose shares are all held by one person or other entity, and "non-closed" but also not public being ones whose shares are held by a limited number of people.

Could you also give the Kabushiki kaisha#History paragraph a once over? The statement that kabushiki gaisha resemble "prewar American corporations" looks a little fishy. Given the context, writing that they resemble prewar Illinois corporations would make sense, but saying just American corporations seems to me to be a bit of a broad sweep of the brush. I think it should say what kind of American or Illinois corporation as well.

Also, given your self-intro on your user page, I'd like to suggest that you take a look at the article on yugen kaisha, since some of the terminology there looks a bit imprecise. Maybe you can tighten it up a bit.

Thanks, Jim_Lockhart 15:50, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Godo gaisha

Great article! Solid writing, too. :)

One quibble: your English renderings of 定款 and 社員. Isn't a 定款 a document usually called articles of incorporation in English? I'm sure, in your position, you've seen numerous 定款; if not articles of incorporation, what is the equivalent document called in English speaking countries? (I realize that it might be different from country to country, and even state to state in the US; so what is the generic term?) And—please correct me if I'm wrong—but isn't the generic equivalent of 社員 called partner or founding partner in English?

In translating Japanese terms, I personally tend to avoid looking too hard at the constituent kanji used to express them and try to look for a functional equivalent that will ring a bell with the English reader. Though operating agreement for 定款 is probably defensible in certain contexts (e.g., when you're explaining what a 定款 is), I have some doubts about using it as a functional equivalent, especially when operating agreement can mean something else in English. Further, I think member is misleading as a translation of 社員, unless it is used in English as a term of art meaning the same thing.

Apologies if this sound pedantic, but I hope it'll help you make a great article even better. Best regards, Jim_Lockhart 13:10, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Florida university userbox collection page?

I wonder if there should be a portal or something where all the Florida university userboxes should go, so people can select theirs. I only really thought about it after creating my userbox.
