User talk:Dominus/Archive (2004)
MediawikiYou say in a MediaWiki page, referring to the bug that categories can't redirect, that the main category should be Category:Sport, instead of Category:Sports. Why? The prevailing opinion seems to be to use plurals, and "Sports" is certainly the preferred term in America, though I don't know about the rest of the english speaking world. --Golbez 05:28, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Fibonacci numberHi Mark - from Talk:Fibonacci number:
Can I encourage you to add it? - it is something I would like to see added, but don't have the confidence to do it well myself. I've been putting in links to Fibonacci number at e.g. conifer cones and elsewhere on one or two pages dealing with conifers. Thanks! - MPF 23:13, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I was wondering where I saw that octupus before (from Wikipedia:Facebook), and realized you're that Dominus! You and your site rocks :) Dysprosia 08:50, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Byzantine GeneralsFrom your to do list: a nice introduction to the Byzantine generals problem and its related problems in complexity is something I would very much like to see. ---- Charles Stewart 19:50, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC) Reattribution of editsRegarding your message at User talk:216.158.52.121 - you're probably looking for Wikipedia:Changing attribution for an edit. Disclaimer: I put a request there a few months ago and it's not done yet! Rdsmith4— Dan | Talk 22:30, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC) AAPAHi, you created a redirect from AAPA -> American Association of Port Authorities, but there's no article there. Wikipedia policy is to get rid of redirects to non-existent pages, and someone listed AAPA on WP:RfD. You need to create something (even a stub will do), or the redirect will go away. Thanks!

hi mjd!nice to see you here :) BACbKA 17:43, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC) (just another lurker on the clpmod) I moved the article back to Abramowitz and Stegun because this is overwhelmingly the name by which it is cited in the literature. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 16:02, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC) I've opened an RfC on this user for his personal attacks: Wikipedia:Requests for comment/ExplorerCDT 2. Since you're on his "nutjob" list, I thought you might be interested. --Carnildo 23:06, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Article LicensingHi, 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:
OR
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) 13:03, 9 December 2004 (UTC) |
