Welcome from me too. Thanks for catching my error on The Archers. I guess The Merriweathers must have been the proposed title for the replacement after the Bowmen had gone down the mineshaft. -- Alan Peakall 11:08, 22 Dec 2003 (UTC)
 * Thanks Alan, I like Hancock and I'm a lifelong Archers listener (its compulsorary in our house what with my mum beeing an almost life long listener, seeing as how it started when she was a few months old). Saul Taylor 01:50, 23 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Just William
Great work on Just William. I was having trouble finding any information on the films and television series. CGS 17:01, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC).

Cleanup
Hi, Saul; i appreciate your adding pages to Cleanup, and also your graceful masking (at least there) of your flamboyant user name.

I edited your entry

into
 * History of Socialism: Part 2-subheadings but no content.Saul Taylor

in compliance with the requested format described at the top of the page. I don't know if it was a slip of the keyboard that added the timestamp by putting in your extra tilde. (That's the name, Spanish and thus two syllables, of that squiggle that i think of as part of a "nearly equal" sign.) If it wasn't an accident, i recommend the portion of Cleanup above the ToC to you. (Actually, even if it was an accident; it took me a couple readings to get down the full recommended procedure, with the + and - signs, that IMO are justified by the need to make the page compact and quick to scan.)

If you ever decide that "Saulisagenius" is a burden (it will keep appearing in page histories, Recent changes, others' My-watchlist displays, etc.), you can have it changed, which includes retroactively applying it to past edits. (I have to confess -- tho i still would have been able to supress the impulse -- that at one level i was a little disappointed that you hadn't offered me the wide-open invitation to begin this note "Hey, Genius,".)

I haven't paid any attention to where i've seen your sig before, but anyone who's willing to add entries (or of course do some cleanup) on Cleanup is a welcome colleague. Glad to have you aboard. --Jerzy(t) 00:51, 2004 Feb 27 (UTC)

Not sure how serious you were being in asking which way to sign at my talk, Saul; i haven't noticed anywhere but Cleanup where the short form is preferred. Many people, as i', sure you've noted, do use the short many other places, but personally i make a point of using the long one everywhere but there, since it's only 1 more keystroke, and gives info that may be wanted by someone,  and since WinP. --Jerzy(t) 23:59, 2004 Feb 27 (UTC)

Hear'Say
Well done for starting the Hear'Say article. can't say I'm a particular fan either but I've added some substance from google searches. -- Graham :) | Talk 13:10, 22 Mar 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 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 " " 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)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Manics
A tag has been placed on The Manics requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
