Thanks for the better wiki on List of Irish artists Bmills 11:36, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

No problem :) Thue | talk 11:38, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I'm amazed ! I started jotting down some ideas about the Smaky page, went to eat, and when I got back, I wanted to add the full name of Prof Nicoud and the link to the smaky.ch ... and they were already here ! :) Really cool ! Rama

I was just doing wikipedia:new pages patrol when I saw the article needed a link and a full name :). Thue | talk 22:14, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Disambiguation[edit]

Hi there, Thue! Thanks for your help disambiguating links to cell! It was a noble effort indeed. --Diberri | Talk 19:10, Jul 12, 2004 (UTC)

Anonymous comment without context[edit]

it now is famous

This was posted by 152.163.253.101 (talk · contribs). I have no way of knowing who he really is or what he is talking about. It is highly recommended to get a wikipedia login :). Thue | talk 08:56, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I hope I can be forgiven ...[edit]

... for marking my edits "minor" although, according to Wikipedia:Minor edit, which, thanks to you, I have now carefully studied, they are not minor at all. I would never have thought that we had a policy on that, but that's of course fine with me. So from now on I will drastically reduce the number of minor edits.

Thanks for the hint, and all the best to you. <KF> 20:10, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

No problem, it was an easy assumption to make :). Thue | talk 20:25, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Allied policy[edit]

Thanks for your words of support. That project has been criticized since its very beginning. It's good to know that someone finds that article interesting. Halibutt 19:25, Jul 19, 2004 (UTC)

Administrator nomination[edit]

Hi Thue, it looks like you are not an administrator. I will nominate you to be an administrator if you would like to be one. See WP:RFA for current administrator voting. Regards, Wile E. Heresiarch 14:40, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Yes, I accept the nomination. Thanks :). Thue | talk 21:17, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Great, I have posted your nomination on WP:RFA. Please put a note there accepting the nomination. I think you'll be a good administrator, I look forward to having you on board. Wile E. Heresiarch 22:32, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Free source[edit]

Hi There !

I have asked permission to use www.onwar.com as source, however, my intention was not just copypaste article from one media to another. With all my projects and edits I simply forgot to write proper article for War of the Oranges. I will edit this one ready asap.

Thanks for feedback anyway.

Congratulations[edit]

You are now an administrator. :-) Please peruse Wikipedia:Administrators' reading list and Wikipedia:Administrators' how-to guide at your convenience, preferably before you exercise any of your new abilities. Otherwise, in general remain the same excellent editor you have been thus far -- if I may offer a word or two of advice, the important new things to remember are that all of your actions (including those which don't involve admin privileges at all) will now be seen by some in a new light. You may, in some cases, have to go the extra mile to be clear about your dedication to policy, and to emphasize your commitment to ideas like NPOV that govern this place. Furthermore, you'll find yourself more often in dialogue with people who are angry at you or angry at this site (and taking it out on you). Don't let their insults get you down, if you can, but do take any constructive criticism seriously. I trust you'll do all this anyway, given your record here, but I figure a note or two is always a good idea, if only to remind myself of the things I should be doing. Good luck, and congratulations once again. :-) Jwrosenzweig 22:30, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Comments for anonymous user[edit]

You left a comment on an anonymous user's talk page here. Probably because of dynamic IP assignment, I picked it up and not the person for whom it was meant -- that person has probably been assigned a new IP address and will never get the old address again. Just a note. You may find that it is impossible to contact anonymous users through the talk pages. Perhaps this comment could be posted on the specific subjects you were asking about instead.

I know that the comment I left may not be read by the intended user, but I left it because it might be. In fact I did also leave the comment at the specific subjects, in the form of listing the articles in question at wikipedia: possible copyright violations. But thanks for the well-intended advice :). Thue | talk 22:33, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Dear Thue! I didn't create the article on Alexandra Marinina (see article's "History" for yourself). My Wiki nickname is KNewman. 207.113.80.162 16:11, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Re: Giant isopod[edit]

Wow, thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. *Blush* :) Cheers, -- Hadal 19:52, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Thanks[edit]

Thanks very much for the tip. I wasn't quite sure what to do, but now I know for the future. Thanks again--Honeycake 17:04, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

See my talk. Johnfreez 07:18, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I fixed shomrim[edit]

I know I didn't define it, I ran out of time but I just finished it

Vandalism, apparently Phillips Exeter related[edit]

Good move on User:204.164.70.3. I was just about to do the same. Noel (talk) 19:45, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

My adminship request[edit]

Thanks for your support! --jpgordon{gab} 06:14, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

You are welcome - congratulations in advance with the adminship :). Thue | talk 15:24, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks..and sorry[edit]

Thanks for your help at Abe Lincoln in Illinois and sorry; i didn't spot the vandalism at first, and when i tried to revert it, it was too late...

John Randolph Club[edit]

Thanks for your excellent work on the John Randolph Club. I have learned by your example.

Wikipedia:Danish wikipedians' notice board.[edit]

You have shown an interest in Denmark or Danish related topics in the past, so I invite you to have a look at Wikipedia:Danish wikipedians' notice board. It is a tool to help people interested in Denmark post articles they'd like to see, and to keep track of the existent coverage of Denmark. It can also serve as a place to address concerns regarding any aspect of Danish coverage on the english wikipedia. Hope you find it useful! In any case, could you please look at it and fill in any articles you know of that are not covered by the list? Thanks,

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 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)

Changes Implemented[edit]

Your suggestion that a list with only one member is sorted however you want is a shrewd observation. Its good to know that there are some things no-one will argue about in Wikipedia. Reminds me of that joke about the race between the American and Russian presidents. Russian press reports "Putin wins race, Bush loses". American papers say "Bush was runner up while Putin was nearly in last place". --Mike C 22:51, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

License of images on commons[edit]

Thanks for checking, but yes, the public domain status of those images is indeed intentional. When I made them, I didn't really know anything about licensing, and so simply declared that anyone could use them for any purpose — public domain, I suppose. Some of my later images have specific licenses on them, but any of my images for which I haven't specified a license come under my earlier statement. Thanks again for checking. -- Vardion 14:25, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Image:Texas state capitol.jpg[edit]

My bad: I included the wrong image as the reason for speedy deletion. It's a thumbnail of Image:Texas state capitol 1.jpg. I've nominated it again for speedy deletion. --MarkSweep 17:15, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Unverified image[edit]

Thanks for uploading:

Image:KU Mathematical institute.jpg

I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks, Kbh3rd 00:17, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Culture of Madagascar[edit]

Nice comment in db-template :). Thue | talk 15:59, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Thanks, I try to break the monotony of RC patrolling from time to time. Mind you, I've had to give up the poetry VfDs, though I still intend one day to do a proper shakespearean sonnet VfD; It's just a matter of waiting for the right deleteworthy article (words like madagascar are hell for both metre and rhyme). --fvw * 16:14, 2004 Dec 15 (UTC)
