Licensing

I use a variation of the "Multi-licensed with all Creative Commons Attribution Licenses" found at Template:MultiLicenseWithCC-By-All. The variation is that I expressly added that any particular contributon of mine might not be available under the non-GFDL licenses if I so designate it. I wouldn't be surprised if this language is unnecessary, but it's easier to write it than to research the point.

I accept to multi-license my contributions under the GFDL and the Creative Commons licenses by-sa v1.0, by v2.0, by-nd v2.0, by-nc v2.0, by-nc-nd v2.0, by-nc-sa v2.0, and by-sa v2.0, except for any specific contribution(s) that I except from the non-GFDL licenses by so stating in the edit summary and/or on the appropriate talk page and/or here. Please be aware that other contributors might not do the same, so if you want to use my contributions under alternate licensing, please check the CC dual-license and Multi-licensing guides.

The New York Times Notices Wikipedia

Thanks to Carl for this report on Talk:George W. Bush:

The New York Times did a story about the edit war on this page: Mudslinging Weasels Into Online History. I guess it's good publicity, but it would be nice if the author had pointed out that all the vandalism here could be (and was) rapidly undone. Oh well.--Carl 03:12, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Good point. The article also includes this passage:

Two days after the election Wikipedia's users began to punctuate Bush's new term. "Is it really correct to put '2001-2009' for Bush's term of office?" one reader wrote. "He could be assassinated, impeached, could resign, die in office ... . Unless someone has a crystal ball, this ought to be changed to '2001-present' or '2001-2009 (expected)' or something like that."

"Yes," another reader responded, "or he might suddenly disappear from Earth in the 'twinkling of an eye.' " That quote included a link to a site about Christian rapture.

Wrong! I was the "another reader" and I didn't link to a site about the Rapture. As per the MoS, I linked to the Wikipedia article about the Rapture. Here's my actual edit. "Paper of record", my fanny....

Comment from User:128.206.193.181: I was the Diebold and ESS guy and I gotta admit it gave me a little thrill to know that my throwaway conspiracy theory remark is now one with the annals of history.

The Rex071404 arbitrations

If you've been one of the Wikipedians getting hit by the shrapnel on the John Kerry article, you might want to visit one of the pages that make up the pending Request for Arbitration:

The ArbCom, bless their hearts, have unanimously issued a temporary injunction.

Second Rex arbitration:

Third Rex arbitration (still awaiting ArbCom decision whether to accept):
