Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Wikipedia:Naming conventions or how to format them visit our manual of style. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. Cheers! --maveric149

Let me welcome you also. It took me a week or two to figure this place out, but don;t be scred of making a mistake. The community tends to catch those very quickly.

Now, with three tildies … PaulinSaudi

Hi, Pm67nz,

You've done some good work on voting systems. Would you read and respond to my comments over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Voting Systems? DanKeshet

Hi, thanks for pointing that out on User talk:snobot, I am busy changing all the relevant links back. --snoyes 20:28, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Could you have a look at [[User_talk:Daeron/WestPapua]] and let me know what you think, thanks very much:)Daeron 10:47, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC) Whoops, sorry, been moved to User:Daeron/Scratch, still waiting to see what other people think of the names and article contents, made a peer review request; if you do have time it be greatly appreciated, all best:).Daeron 12:22, 7 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

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)

Image copyrights

Thanks for uploading Image:PNGb0001.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 so much, — Edwin Stearns | Talk 16:43, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

'Papua' vs. 'New Guinea'

Hi, you've just changed my wording on the Papua disambiguation page. 'Papua' is not an old name for the island of 'New Guinea'. It was used by the Portuguese for Halmahera, and generically for the islands around that area (the os papuas) but has never normally been used as a name for the island of New Guinea. I grant that a few writers have occasionally used 'Papua' to refer to the whole island, but I'd consider that to be either a mistake or a nonce usage. As far as being 'official', well, 'New Guinea' has been the name used on maps for over 400 years and is, at least, the standard name in all atlases, maps, gazeteers, etc. cheers, Dougg 23:50, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I agree New Guinea is the name, it's only the usage of the word "official" I had issues with. Pm67nz 08:54, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've just seen your new wording on the Papua disambig page and I like it -- kind of the inverse of how I had it. cheers, Dougg 10:42, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Single tax redirects to Georgism

Hi, thanks for your recent changes to Max Hirsch (economist) and others. I noticed though, that Single tax redirects to Georgism. It may be better to use [[Georgism|Single tax]] to avoid a re-direct. Diverman 02:39, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Requested moves

I have moved George Grey (Premier of New Zealand) to George Grey, which I moved to George Grey (disambiguation). Let me know if there are any additional problems. -- RG ² 09:55, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, not sure what happened there. It should be fixed now. -- RG ² 01:43, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

File:PNGb0001.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Haia airstrip.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis.

File source problem with File:Gembogl PMV.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Gembogl PMV.jpg. 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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. 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, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 11:48, 10 July 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 11:48, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
