User talk:Sandman~enwiki

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. You can learn more on the how to edit page. The naming conventions and style guide pages are also useful. There is a sandbox which you can use to experiment in. If you have any questions, see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted. Angela 14:16, 25 Aug 2003 (UTC)

I answered your question in Talk:Spandau. andy

If you want to enhance the Technische Universitäten-articles, please have a look at WikiProject Universities. -- till we *) 13:27, Aug 26, 2003 (UTC)

Several days ago you joined the discussion of whether Brunswick or Braunschweig should be the home of the article on the German city. After a brief discussion, the question was moved from the Votes for deletion page to Talk:Brunswick. Quite a bit of fact-finding has occurred since then, but the decision appears to have reached an impasse. Could I ask you to take a few minutes to review the facts presented on Talk:Brunswick and share your current thoughts? Thanks. Rossami 22:14, 8 Dec 2003 (UTC)

TNX for the correction on Göktürks; two questions, if you can help me further: 1) Does the translation appear to be otherwise correct? 2) Even with your rewording, I'm still confused about the sense of the last sentence. The German original was "Die Nachfolger der Türken wurden nach einem Sieg Ko-lo Khan´s 744 ihre China- "freundlicheren" Juniorpartner, die Uiguren," and, yes, you've rendered this better than I did, but I'm still a bit condused. Is this saying that the Uighurs had been the Göktürk's junior partners, or that they now became China's junior partners? Either way, I can render this more clearly in English. -- Jmabel 20:42, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * I just went through the text again and made two other small changes, but otherwise the translation seems OK. As to the last sentence, I think it can only mean that the Uighurs were the Göktürks' junior partners. - Sandman 10:54, 25 Feb 2004 (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 " " 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 multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to 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 " " with "  ". 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)

WWE Undertaker Page
Just a reminder. Talk Pages are not to chit chat on like an internet chat room. You did some of this on Undertaker's talk page. Please try to follow the rules. Thank you Masta P 23:11, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Might take a look
Hello. Just wondering if you would mind taking a look at a collaborative effort I'm trying to start. Any feedback or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! DxNate, 29 July 2024 User-Talk-Contribs

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Sandman. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sandman~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:35, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
