New stuff to the bottom. Old stuffs in /Archive.

Takanoha, can you point out the section of &#22320;&#26041;&#33258;&#27835;&#27861; that explains the status of Tokyo-to? I think that we are misunderstanding each other. I would like to see what the actual law says, but it's very long and I haven't found the correct section. I appreciate your help. - Sekicho 12:18, Mar 1, 2004 (UTC)


 * The point is that the law put to and do-fu-ken on the basically equal plane, as told by the items 1 and 2. Only distinction between to and do-fu-ken in this law is in the items 281 through 283, about the definition of ku in to, however, other laws including chiho-zei-hou (local tax), suidou-hou (water services), shoubou-hou (fire service), and possible others give specialities to to. If you do not used to legalese wording, beware of the item 283 which tells more than what a common people perceives. Read carefully and literally.


 * Note that, as the apendix item 2, the previous to system and do-fu-ken system have been abolished by this law. -- Takanoha 11:54, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Thank you! I've updated Tokyo... please tell me what you think. I also put some of this information into the 23 special wards article. Are these revisions correct? -- Sekicho 08:06, Mar 4, 2004 (UTC)


 * I changed words which had been implying the present Tokyo Metropolitan Government is a kind of city through the article. But do you mind this change?

I think the article is great now. It clearly states what Tokyo is. Finally, we have this settled! -- Sekicho 05:30, Mar 6, 2004 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity what is the reason for removing the div tag that wrapped around the table out of the Yamanashi prefecture page? Are there formatting issues in your browser? cheers, --synthetik 12:42, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)


 * Yes. My browser (years old konqueror) stubles on them. I removed div tags because pages look fine without them when I tried IE6, and US state articles do not have them from the outset, but I'm sorry if it made any harm to you or someone else. Feel free to revert.


 * Ok, I put them there initially because in certain cases, the text was running right up to the border of the table and I like a clean layout where not everything is mangled. If it breaks that badly in some browsers we should just leave it as is, I suppose.
 * Just as a side note; if you like Konqi try the new one that comes with 3.2 it's worlds better then the 3.2 series. :) cheers, synthetik 12:40, 3 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)

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.
