Re:happy happy happy!

I can't even read most of it, let alone understand it. This guy is a mystery. He's been showing up at San Francisco Chinatown chanting "Happy, Happy, Happy" for at least the past 30 years. It's actually quite funny seeing him in person, just not in the way he intended. He's also one of the nuts who frequent Sproul Plaza here in Berkeley. --Jiang 21:10, 3 Oct 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:

{{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)

The CC-by-sa is a copyleft license like the GFDL, as you suspected when you posted the comment on my user page, so yes, the CC-by-sa is the license that you would want to use for multi-licensing. And again, I am asking every single user to multi-license, so I need you too! See the progress at the project page. – Ram-Man ^{(comment) (talk)}[[]] 14:05, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

The Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 Dual License and the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 Dual License are incompatible licenses that differ purely on whether or not the contributions can be used commercially. The non-commercial license does not allow you to make money off of whatever is licensed under it. The GFDL is most similar to the CC-by-sa, which allows commercial usage. Of course all of these are copylefted, so even if someone tries to make some money off of it, they must share whatever it is that they are selling for free, that is you are always free to copy it under the terms of the license. So the CC-by-sa and GFDL permit a book form that is sold, say, to cover the costs of running Wkipedia. The CC-by-nc-sa does not allow the contributions to be used commercially. -- RM 20:29, Dec 23, 2004 (UTC)

sean hayes

wooddoo from the chinese wikipedia. hayes should be pronounced as [heiz] so 黑斯 is much more precise than 海斯. you might wanna consider changing it.--Wooddoo-eng 10:36, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

hehe:) it's just a technical question. the reason i posted it was that i thought sean hayes is not already an established name in china like 费雯丽 for vivien leigh when actually it should've been 薇薇安·李。because people are used to 费雯丽. and i thought 黑斯 looks no less beautiful than 海斯, changing it won't do him any harm, plus his name gets to be more precise.

forgive me for sticking to transliteration :) i have a thing for precision-___- you might call that a bad habit or something. it's like charlize theron is translated in the mainland as 查理兹 but ch here is pronounced as [sh] so 莎莉兹 (in taiwan) is more appropriate and feminine so when i wrote her article in the chinese wikipedia i didn't use 查理兹 at all because it makes me feel very uncomfortable.--Wooddoo-eng 16:38, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Why Not Xinjiang Weiwuer instead if Xinjiang Uygur

I agree with you. As far as i have learned Xinjiang Weiwuer is the pinyin spelling. i had not belived Xinjiang Uygur was the correct pinyin spelling. However i may be wrong.

Deleted page "Portal:People's Republic of China (old)"

A page you created, or image you uploaded, Portal:People's Republic of China (old), has been deleted in accordance with our deletion policy. In particular, it meets the one or more criteria for speedy deletion; the relevant criterion is:

Test pages (e.g., "Can I really create a page here?").

Wikipedia has certain standards for inclusion that all articles must meet. Certain types of article must establish the notability of their subject by asserting its importance or significance. Additionally, since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, content inappropriate for an encyclopedia, or content that would be more suited to somewhere else (such as a directory or social networking website) is not acceptable. See What Wikipedia is not for the relevant policy.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable notability guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content; it will be deleted again and may be protected from re-creation. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article. If you have any questions, please contact an administrator for assistance. Thank you – Gurch 04:47, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Accept what

Message on User talk:New4325

Hi. I noticed that you left a message at User talk:New4325 and that you don't appear to have been editing for a while.

I just thought that I'd let you know that User:New4325 made personal attacks against LGBT editors and actively removed LGBT content from articles. As a consequence, he was blocked for a week and doesn't appear to have come back after that block ended.

Also, noting your interest in LGBT subjects, I'd like to cordially invite you to join us at WikiProject LGBT studies. --AliceJMarkham (talk) 07:53, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:IEopera.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:IEopera.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:13, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Conflicted licensing on image File:IEopera.jpg

The above noted image or media file appears to have conflicted licensing. As an image cannot be both 'free' and 'unfree', a check of the exact status of this media/image concerned is advised.Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:21, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Better source request for File:China provinces Jiangsu.png

Thanks for uploading File:China provinces Jiangsu.png. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:52, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Doublylinkedlist.png

Thanks for uploading File:Doublylinkedlist.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:57, 12 January 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:57, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Notice of change

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that you will not longer be able to request restoration of the tools because of your prior inactivity. You have until December 30, 2012 to request restoration or else the policy will prevent you from doing so in the future; you would need to seek a new WP:RFA. Until December 30, you can file a request at WP:BN for review by the crats. Thank you. MBisanz ^talk 04:22, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
