User talk:Caffelice~enwiki

Hello,

We are attempting to get the entries in Wikipedia changed from South Korea - an Americanism - to the actual name of the country, Republic of Korea.

The accurate use of a nation's name is very imperative on the Wikipedia, and while the slang use of "South Korea" is familiar, it is not the accurate name of the Republic of Korea, just as the slang "North Korea" is not the accurate name of the Democratic Republic of Korea.

Since you are attempting to edit Korean history, it would probably set a good example to use the exact name of the country. Good luck with your work, and your entries have been brought to the attention of a small Korean working group of scholars in the Republic of Korea, principally in Jeonju or Seoul, who will be adding comments as required; and citing when possible their names, academic titles, publications, and/or university affiliation when making changes.

Care must be made in submitting photographs of the Korean Imperial Family as well that are circulating on the net that have been unwatermarked or not credited as being part of the private collection of Prince Yi Seok. We are attempting currently to find public domain photographs that can be attached to the writings on the Joseon Dynasty rulers in the archives of the National Library of the Republic of Korea.

Sorry for the late reply; I've been quite busy lately and I work mostly on the Korean Wikipedia now. I don't think "South Korea" and "North Korea" are slangs. Other divided countries are also called in the same manner: for example, West Germany and South Vietnam. But I'll use the official names if other wikipedians consent using full names of the states. (And it's Democratic People's Republic of Korea.) I have little interest submitting photos of Imperial Families; so you don't have to worry about that. Caffelice 07:14, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi, Caffelice:

안녕하십니까? It's good to see another contributor on Korean topics. I added many new articles and edited many more last autumn, but recently I haven't done much. I'm glad that someone else is making such useful contributions! P.S.: good work on the royalty table in the Bohai/Barhae article!

Yours, Sewing 17:49, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Thanks.

Hi again, Caffelice:

Please continue to keep up the good work. Your contributions are always useful and informative. I especially admire you for your skill at keeping a neutral tone between the different points of view on Korean subjects.

Yours, Sewing 22:33, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Thank you. Well, I just say I'm tired of years of flame wars and don't want it anymore, especially here. -- Caffelice

So am I...but it's hard for me to keep an NPOV on issues that I care about, so I just decided to stop editing controversial articles. :) --Sewing 18:38, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)

By the way, Caffelice: In case you haven't already seen them, you may be interested in the pages Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Korean) and List of Korea-related topics. Please feel free to contribute to both pages. --Sewing 20:34, 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 "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" 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 [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|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 "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". 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)

Unverified images

Hi. You uploaded Image:Liancourt Rocks.jpg but did not list any source and/or copyright information on the image description page. Please mark it either as GFDL or public domain. See Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags for more info. Please note that images without copyright information may be deleted in the future. Thanks. RedWolf 03:23, Dec 24, 2004 (UTC)

Nomination of Baali (World of Darkness) for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Baali (World of Darkness) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gargoyles (World of Darkness) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:28, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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 Caffelice. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Caffelice~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

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.

Proposed deletion of Index of World of Darkness articles

The article Index of World of Darkness articles has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This doesn't seem to be a big enough topic to require an index. Most of what is listed are redlinks and redirects.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Tavix ^(talk) 19:47, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
