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:
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)
Hi, Astudent, my name is waldir and i have made been making some research on the field of utopian thougts. I read the wikipedia article on Utopia, and there was something that called my attention, on the economic utopias section. The description i found there for UTOPIAN SOCIALISM is very close to my own ideals and i was trying to find authors who had described such utopias (i believe thomas more's utopia is one of them, but i'm note sure)
So, if you could help me in any way i'd be grateful.
By the way, here's my mail: waldir@email.com
- Hi. I don't think I contributed much to the Utopia article. If I remember correctly, I wrote a short section in the Star Trek article about a utopia caused by lack of scarcity due to scientific/technological advances. Astudent 08:18, 2005 Jun 8 (UTC)
Well, infact it was quite hard to find out who wrote that little sentence, "...an egalitarian distribution of goods, frequently with the total abolition of money, and citizens only doing work which they enjoy and which is for the common good, leaving them with ample time for the cultivation of the arts and sciences." I had to search the history very deeply, but if i am not wrong you are mentioned as the authhor of it. am I wrong?
- Sorry, but that sentence doesn't sound like my style of writing. Perhaps you could post a message on the Utopia article's discussion/talk page and someone may be able to help you. (My apologies for the delay in replying: I don't write in Wikipedia as much as I used to.) Astudent 03:49, 2005 August 8 (UTC)
It's ok, i only came here to look for your reply a few times meanwhile. I have posted a message on the Utopia's discussion page but i have no answer so far. thanx for the feedback anyway.
