Hello! I saw your comment on the Namesdays in Finland and I think you are correct. The Namesdays article is the example of a trend from the spring of 2003 where a number of articles relating to Sweden, haphazardly would appear for Finland. I know that there are many similarities between the two countries but in some cases "Sweden" had just been substituted for "Finland", producing ridiculous results. I edited a number of these, like Government of Finland, to bring some sense into them. None of these first posters seemed very talkative though. -- Mic 13:06, Feb 14, 2004 (UTC)

The article Education in Finland probably needs some attention along those lines. -- Mic 11:06, Feb 18, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 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:

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)


So you tought copy-pasting the same text on two thousand user talk pages was a nice way to ask that? Would you consider it to be OK to send 2000 emails too?
And no, I don't want to support spamming by dual-licensing.
