I'm sorry if I came across as a prick - that wasn't my intention. --mav

Thanks for the change and the bot-idiocy. I will add that to the list of things to work on, that is, I will try to make the entry more intelligent. -- Ram-Man

Didn't mean to come off as criticizing you, Ram-Man. I was just being flip. The pages seem to be a pretty good idea, I was just a little freaked out by the state of Recent Changes.

I responded to you at User talk:Ram-Man -- Ram-Man

Dachsund, thank you for your attention to the hate speech article. I need help with my edits, so that I don't inject my POV into the article. Ideally, a reader should be unable to determine the editor's POV by looking at his changes. Can you tell what I think about hate speech or speech codes by looking at my edits to the article? And am I introducing bias, subtle or otherwise, into the article? I hope note. --Uncle Ed

Hi Dachshund, I have a question about Mikhail Bakunin's photograph. Is it free to use, or "fair use"? What is its source? I know, here in the English Wikipedia it does not matter (at least for some people), but in the German Wikipedia people _do_ care about that issue.

bye, --zeno 10:35 14 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Thanks for the answer. I should have known better, well, but I just did not think about the age of the photograph. I think it is not problematic to use it in the German Wikipedia, too.

Best regards, Zeno

hello, Dachshund. i saw your good job on "cheese project". if it can be helpful, you can have a look on fr:Fromages (liste complète). that is a complete (?) list of chheses, not only from france.
à bientôt, bye Alvaro 18:08, 8 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I was sure that I undid my changes to the articles, but it seems I only undid the changes on one of them. At first I was sure that there was something wrong with the current layout of the articles, but when I began changing it I noticed that I couldn't think of a better way, so I just left it. Thanks for catching that other edit. I still don't really know what to do with the organisation, and at the moment I prefer sticking to areas where I am more knowledgeable. - snoyes 04:15, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Heya, I moved your old Wikipedians/ page to User:Dachshund/old. I think the content's all duplicated on your user page, but should the edit history thrill you immensely you can keep it, otherwise just delete it. --fvw * 15:45, 2004 Dec 10 (UTC)

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:

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)

Semantic Security

Thanks for your rewrite/expansion at Semantic security. I don't suppose you'd be able to dig up the references for the Goldwasser/Micali and Rackoff/Simon results? — Matt Crypto 18:32, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, nice work on the Goldwasser-Micali cryptosystem article (and welcome to the Crypto Project and all that!). — Matt Crypto 15:24, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Dachshunds and WWI

Could you provide a reference for the claim that US citizens were encouraged to euthanize their dachshunds? Was it the government that was doing the encouraging? Where did you come upon this information? I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm just looking to see if this is verifiable. Roodog2k 02:05, 28 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rosicrucian article

Dear user Dachshund, as I have seen editions of yours at the article Rosicrucian, I come to request your support to this article that I have just purposed for nomination at Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates#Rosicrucian. May you may give a look into it? And, if you consider it acceptable, then may you support it? Thank you! :) --GalaazV 02:49, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Scientology and fair game

Hi Dachshund, I ran into a question you asked in Scientology discussion: I was given to understand that the policy of "fair game" was not officially revoked, rather that Hubbard ordered his followers to refrain from using that term. Has the policy officially been revoked by the CoS? -D. Because I have a full set of curent policy letters and time to read them, I looked at Fair Game. For at least 5 years now (the church of sceintology says much longer) no policy letter uses the word "fair game." Many policy letters were just cancelled, a few were revised. The revised ones don't use the same tone the earlier ones apparently used. Specifically they state that under no circumstances is any scientologist to ever do anything which is "against the laws of the land." Further, it threatens that if a Scientologist does do something which is "against the laws of the land" then they are subject to justice by the Church of Scientology as well as justice by the Law in their particular land. 66.248.87.133 02:00, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:DachshundEgypt.png

Thanks for uploading Image:DachshundEgypt.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:39, 23 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Liftarn 15:39, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Learningandlabor.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Learningandlabor.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 08:33, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Cheeses

Recently there was a tag for deletion of this project which did not pass and there was also a recent merge proposal as well to bring it back into WikiProject Food and Drink. In a hopes to revive this project I have done an excessive revamp of the main page as well as added many subsidiaries to it for organization. I have also created a member template which you can find a link to on the projects main page as well. The one thing I will be doing is including the members of this project along with the parent project WikiProject Food and Drink for the monthly newsletter currently sent to the parent project. If you do not wish to receive the link for the newsletter, just let me know. Hope to see you on the WikiProject Cheeses soon.--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC 19:47, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Pilgrim Fathers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.
