User talk:Mariuz

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:


 * To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type &#126;&#126;&#126; (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (4 tildes).
 * Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
 * If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
 * Follow the Simplified Ruleset
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Remember Neutral point of view
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

IPL/IDPL proposed deletion
I flagged Initial Developer's Public License and InterBase Public License for proposed deletion because it falls into several categories of what what Wikipedia is not. If you feel the need to store these files on a wiki server instead of just referencing them as external links, might I suggest Wikimedia Commons? Alternately, you could delete the license text and write an article about the meaning of the licenses, in the vein of Mozilla Public License. That said, I don't think either license is notable enough to justify an article to itself, so I would suggest that a transwiki to Commons is the best solution if you don't want to use an external link for some reason. Note that Firebird (database server) and InterBase are notable software so you also have the option of merging discussion of their licenses into those articles.

~What is left now is empty pages ? how is that useful ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mariuz (talk • contribs).


 * No, nothing is left now; it's as if they were never created. The "articles" have been deleted because they don't belong in an encyclopedia. Ask yourself: If you pulled a printed encyclopedia off the shelf and encountered the legal text of the IPL, would that make sense, or would it seem out of place? Wikipedia is no different; we are writing an encyclopedia here, not an indiscriminate collection of information. The correct place for such materials is WikiSource (not Commons as I incorrectly suggested earlier). If what I write doesn't make sense to you then please read the article on What Wikipedia is Not.


 * Again, thanks for your contributions, and happy editing! --Craig Stuntz 14:42, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
