Hello there RSM, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you ever need editing help visit Wikipedia:How does one edit a page and experiment at Wikipedia:Sandbox. 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. BTW, nice copyedits all around. I took the liberty of further formatting them so that they more closely match Wikipedia style. Cheers! --maveric149
[edit] Article Licensing
I was looking at the U.S. city and county articles and noticed that you've made a number of changes specifically in adding external links. I've chosen to multi-license all of the rambot contributions under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License so that other projects, such as WikiTravel, can use our articles. I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all your contributions (or at minimum those on the geographic articles) so that we can keep most of the articles available under the multi-license. Many users use the {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} template (or even {{MultiLicensePD}} for public domain) on their user page, but there are other templates for other options at Template messages/User namespace. If you only prefer using the GFDL, I understand, but I thought I'd at least ask, just in case. If you do want to do it, simply just copy and paste one of the above two templates into your user page and it will allow us to track those users who have done it. For example:
- 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]], [[U.S. County]], or [[U.S. City]] article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain (which many people do or don't like to do, see Wikipedia:Multi-licensing), you could replace {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} with {{MultiLicensePD}} -- Ram-Man 13:41, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)
Regarding the merging of the various Attica, New York articles: This mess was created by the CSD folks, who somehow equated the names of census districts with actual locations that provided the names. I really don't know what to do about the apparent two villages of Attica, because there is only one village and it is in two different counties. Can this merge be made without losing or wrecking the census information? I sure don't know! Stepp-Wulf 05:17, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC).
