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 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:

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)

The Potter focus

Well, viewing your contribution history sure took me down a peg or two; over 500 HP-related edits means face fault time by my standards (Yes, I created that article just for this purpose).

I do realize that you're more on the copyediting side instead of the "write extremely detailed article, lose it in a crash, get frustrated and call it a week" front that I represent. Nevertheless, your contributions look like a show of great dedication and perserverance from where I'm standing. Would you consider yourself eglible to receive a Working Man's Barnstar, if I was to award one to you? A WikiThanks doesn't seem to cut it.

I apologize for the possible bad syntax and spelling in this message. I assure you that I planned the intent much before getting into this state. -- Kizor 02:23, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
