Orgasmatron

Thanks for the update. I did restore the info on the orgasmic orb and created a redirect to the primary article, also corrected a reference in the Barbarella article. Am I correct in assuming that you have recently viewed the source material? I removed the needs help notice also. If any answer required, answer here, I will watch. Best wishes, -- Leonard G. 23:58, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I haven't seen either recently, but I distinctly remember the scene with Allen trying to hide in the orgasmatron. I believe the orb that everyone got high handling was simply called "the orb." I also recall it wasn't so orgasmic, really, users' reactions were more subdued than that, more like an instant drug high. However, I'm impressed that it even works through the gloves Allen is wearing as part of his robot disguise! MakeRocketGoNow 16:21, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)

Evolution Control Committee

Hi, MakeRocketGoNow.

I've been meaning to thank you for adding the vital ECC chapter to the Bastard Pop article. I made a mental note to do it myself, but was reluctant because a) I'm lazy and b) that's one of the few parts of the history of the genre I don't have first hand experience of. I always hoped that someone who did would happen upon the article and spare me the trouble, and I'm glad to say you did so magnificently.

Thanks again.

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started the Free the Rambot Articles Project which has the goals of getting users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to...

  1. ...all U.S. state, county, and city articles...
  2. ...all articles...

using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) version 1.0 and 2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to the GFDL (which every contribution made to Wikipedia is licensed under), but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles (See the Multi-licensing Guide for more information). 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. So far over 90% of people who have responded have done this.

Nutshell: Wikipedia articles can be shared with any other GFDL project but open/free projects using the incompatible Creative Commons Licenses (e.g. WikiTravel) can't use our stuff and we can't use theirs. It is important to us that other free projects can use our stuff. So we use their licenses too.

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} template (or {{MultiLicensePD}} for public domain) into their user page, but there are other templates for 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:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

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:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

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 at my talk page what you think. It's important to know, even if you choose to do anything so I don't keep asking. -- Ram-Man 16:25, Dec 2, 2004 (UTC)

The Humungous Image Tagging Project

Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

Atreides Battle Language

An anon has suggested this doesn't exist. I dimly remember it mentioned somewhere, but whether in the books, and which one if so, I can't remember. What are your sources? Andrewa 04:11, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Mystery solved, someone else has come up with a reference to the original Dune novel. The anon was, it seems, either ignorant, a rather more creative vandal than most, or both. Andrewa 19:23, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Mandate of Heaven (Melby)

Thanks for fixing my crude edit - I am either not so good at disambiguation - or good at ambiguation - or maybe sloppy. It was a great book but I loaned it to someone long forgotten. Also I so much appreciate your pages on Peter Schickele and the unforgettable University of North South Dakota. Pdn 00:00, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

lots of edits, not an admin

Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list, although there is certainly no guarantee anyone will ever look at it. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 18:25, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)

About Noon Universe

Hello! What is the difference between "Science Fiction" and "Science Fiction by milieu" category? --Koveras 9 July 2005 13:20 (UTC)

There were a lot of specific science fiction franchises under Category:Science fiction. I was trying to come up with a better way to subcategorize them, especially the ones that appear in several different media (books, films, TV series, etc). Perhaps something like a subcategory of Category:Science fiction universes under Category:Fictional universes would work better. MakeRocketGoNow 23:39, July 9, 2005 (UTC)
Yeah, that'd probably be better... But it's always the problem with sorting, that the more categories you create, the harder navigating between them becomes. So once in a while one has to erase all categories and create a completely new structure... But that's just a thought, I don't mean that you or someone else has to do it right now. :) --Koveras 08:16, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Category:Science fiction by milieu

Hey, reguarding the note you left on the talk page:

Result of cfd discussion was to rename this category to Category:Science fiction by franchise. - MakeRocketGoNow 00:24, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

We usually put the note on CFD discussions of keep or no consensus, mainly because if there is nothing on the talk page, we dont' have to move it, or it is is trivial stuff the talk page is deleted. In this case, the talk page will be moved to the new category, and that note makes it a bit confusing to others. Just to let you know in the future. Thanks. «»Who?¿?meta 11:51, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

"Rev.elation" and "Mutual Admiration Society"

Thanks for the clean-up of these two pages. But is there a particular reason why you deleted information (in this case the song writer credits)??

You're mistaken. I did no such thing. Song credits were there in Mutual Admiration Society - Joe Locke & David Hazeltine Quartet when I edited it and I left them there. On Rev.elation (album) - Joe Locke & the Milt Jackson Tribute Band there were no song credits at the time I edited the article. You can check the page histories. Also, please use the four tildes at the end of your talk posts to identify yourself in the future. - MakeRocketGoNow 18:40, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
Sorry, my mistake. I haven't been doing this for long yet. Hope I'll improve. Thanks! --natz 08:40, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the fixes

I'd just like to say thank you for putting the catigories on the current 2 Guardians of Time Trilogy articles. I tried to reflect your changes (as well as one from the stub-sorting project) in the project page. Check it out to make sure I got it right, and hopefuly you won't have to edit my articles as much.

It was very nice to see that I am getting out onto some catigory lists, and hopefully I can get more members in the project (seeing as I am the only one on right now).

Htl2001 17:14, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Sure, not a problem. I also read over the project page, and I have to disagree with starting all article names with "Guardians of Time Trilogy." Instead of "Guardians of Time Trilogy John Smith" I would go with "John Smith (Guardians of Time Trilogy)" - this is more standard, and makes automatic category alphabetization nicer (everything would end up under "G" in your naming scheme).
Also, I wouldn't even bother with adding "(Guardians of Time Trilogy)" to the name if the article title doesn't already exist. That's why I renamed the "Guardians of Time Trilogy The Named" article to just "The Named." Users can find the article easier since all they have to type in is "The Named" to go to the article, instead of having to know to type in "Guardians of Time Trilogy The Named" to bring up the article. MakeRocketGoNow 17:41, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the suggestions. What about those articles such as the character lists? how should I name those?
Such lists are usually titled like this: "List of Guardians of Time Trilogy characters"
Am I supposed to use catigories to do that? I will read up on those so I can get it right.
Unless you have lots of stuff on each character, put all the characters on one list page, with the name above. The list page can go under Category:Characters in written science fiction.
Also, is it alright to use "(GoT)" after a conflicting title to identify it? or should I use the whole thing? Related to this, should character pages be "(GoT Character)" or just "(GoT)"?
"(GoT)" would be confusing. Use either "(Guardians of Time)", or "(fictional character)" in the article name- John Smith (fictional character).
I just made some edits to fit your suggestions, but I would like to know about the last 2 questions since its in the middle right now Htl2001 17:16, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Great Username

Hey I just wanted to let you know I love your username- it made me laugh when i saw it. Then I told my sister and she laughed. :) I assume it is from The Simpsons from when Homer joins NASA? That is a funny episode. Regards, --Rachel Cakes 09:48, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. Yep, it's from the "Deep Space Homer" episode. MakeRocketGoNow 23:52, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
