Just a quick request with the revisions to the various American football articles you're presently making. A lot of these terms (for instance "punt" and "tackle") are used in some or all the other "football" games out there. Would you mind, where there is an ambiguity, if we shifted them to, for example punt (American football)? --Robert Merkel

Hi there. Good call merging punting and punt into a single disambiguation page & all the boating stuff to one article. :-) -- Tarquin 08:43 Oct 3, 2002 (UTC)

Article Licensing[edit]

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 1000 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:

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)

Generalized f-mean[edit]

Hi. I just wonder why you moved Generalised f-mean to Generalized f-mean. The consensus on Wikipedia is that one should not move things just because an article is spelled in British English. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov 15:10, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Because there was already an article entitled Generalized mean. I thought it would be best if they were uniform. Before there was a missing link to the f-mean on mean because of the difference in spelling. --b4hand 15:13, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Got it, thanks. Usually people are quite sensitive to these kind of changes. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov 15:38, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
