User talk:Atorpen

Welcome to Wikipedia, Atorpen! I really liked your contributions to the music articles. If you can write phrases like "possessed of a singular vision" and "discontent bubbling under the surface", I hope you stick around!! --Ed Poor

Thanks Ed, and I'll do my best. :)

Is it safe to assume you're also knowledgeable about Dziga Vertov? I started that article ages ago & have been unable to find anything about Vertov from the 1930s on. Koyaanis Qatsi

No, no, not at all. I'm glad you're here & I'm sure you have something to contribute. Personally I think this is an exciting time for wikipedia because most topics have been covered but not in depth: perfect for people like me, who watch a DVD commentary track or go see a visiting filmmaker and glean factoids--now I have somewhere to put them! Use the "Random Page" function once it's reactivated; you'll surprise yourself how much you know. :-) Best, and thanks for looking, Koyaanis Qatsi p.s. thanks for the compliment, but it nags me that I'm not able to "finish" the article.

Hey, you updated Dziga Vertov! Thanks very much. :-) Koyaanis Qatsi

Thanks! KF

Amansiz ba, Atorpen?

Siz Kazaksizpa? Tell me if you like the updating I did on "Abai Kunanbaev"

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:

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)

Leaves of Grass

Hey Atorpen. Thanks for your contributions to the Leaves of Grass page! Do you remember where you found the info on the evolution of the 9 editions? Really interesting stuff... -natethewriter

List of anti-heroes

I just want to inform you that the article List of anti-heroes was deleted today after being listed on VfD. I am not sure if you knew it was listed or not, or if you care or not. I felt, since you had participated as a contributor on the article that you should know. If you want to know more about the status of the now deleted article, I have made a post in Wikipedia:Deletion review. If you don't want to know more, please disregard this message. sincerely, Kingturtle 21:40, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline of trends in music (1951-present)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Timeline of trends in music (1951-present), by WarpstarRider, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Timeline of trends in music (1951-present) fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

Old redirect to a useless, soon-to-be-deleted (if not already deleted) index page. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Timeline of trends in music (1980-1989).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Timeline of trends in music (1951-present), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Timeline of trends in music (1951-present) itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 04:15, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Land Survey Disambiguation

Hi Atorpen. I changed the Land Survey forward to a disambiguation page to open up some other options than the direct link to Cadastre. Managed to fix most of the links to the page, and redirect in a more sensible direction (all 20-odd of them :-( - won't be doing that again in a hurry!) Your user page links to it too, but I couldn't find your name in either of the articles that the 'Land Survey' page forwarded to during its history. Perhaps you could point to the correct location for me? Sorry about that... Best Regards --Haruth (talk) 09:52, 23 March 2010 (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.
