[edit] Re:happy happy happy!
I can't even read most of it, let alone understand it. This guy is a mystery. He's been showing up at San Francisco Chinatown chanting "Happy, Happy, Happy" for at least the past 30 years. It's actually quite funny seeing him in person, just not in the way he intended. He's also one of the nuts who frequent Sproul Plaza here in Berkeley. --Jiang 21:10, 3 Oct 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 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:
- 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:
- {{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)
- The CC-by-sa is a copyleft license like the GFDL, as you suspected when you posted the comment on my user page, so yes, the CC-by-sa is the license that you would want to use for multi-licensing. And again, I am asking every single user to multi-license, so I need you too! See the progress at the project page. – Ram-Man (comment) (talk)[[]] 14:05, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

- The Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 Dual License and the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 Dual License are incompatible licenses that differ purely on whether or not the contributions can be used commercially. The non-commercial license does not allow you to make money off of whatever is licensed under it. The GFDL is most similar to the CC-by-sa, which allows commercial usage. Of course all of these are copylefted, so even if someone tries to make some money off of it, they must share whatever it is that they are selling for free, that is you are always free to copy it under the terms of the license. So the CC-by-sa and GFDL permit a book form that is sold, say, to cover the costs of running Wkipedia. The CC-by-nc-sa does not allow the contributions to be used commercially. -- RM 20:29, Dec 23, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Dragostea Din Tei
what about moving it out of the list of gay anthem for consistency? --User:Yacht (talk) 10:23, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] sean hayes
wooddoo from the chinese wikipedia. hayes should be pronounced as [heiz] so 黑斯 is much more precise than 海斯. you might wanna consider changing it.--Wooddoo-eng 10:36, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- hehe:) it's just a technical question. the reason i posted it was that i thought sean hayes is not already an established name in china like 费雯丽 for vivien leigh when actually it should've been 薇薇安·李。because people are used to 费雯丽. and i thought 黑斯 looks no less beautiful than 海斯, changing it won't do him any harm, plus his name gets to be more precise.
forgive me for sticking to transliteration :) i have a thing for precision-___- you might call that a bad habit or something. it's like charlize theron is translated in the mainland as 查理兹 but ch here is pronounced as [sh] so 莎莉兹 (in taiwan) is more appropriate and feminine so when i wrote her article in the chinese wikipedia i didn't use 查理兹 at all because it makes me feel very uncomfortable.--Wooddoo-eng 16:38, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Why Not Xinjiang Weiwuer instead if Xinjiang Uygur
I agree with you. As far as i have learned Xinjiang Weiwuer is the pinyin spelling. i had not belived Xinjiang Uygur was the correct pinyin spelling. However i may be wrong.
