Hi Aeicis,

Following up on your comment on the Village Pump, as ] says, it sounds like you are looking for ] who has been around a while and generally seems to know what he's doing. You can check his to see whether your IP turns up. I can see he put vandalism notices on 135.214.66.241 and 217.204.233.101 not so long ago. If you find your IP there and it still troubles you, you could ask him about it on his talk pages. -- ] 12:23, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

:Sorry - I posted this to your main page and the discussion on Village pump has moved on, so it is probably not relevant anymore. -- ] 12:57, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

== Categorising ==

Hi Aecis, I've noticed that categorized a couple of athletes as Drugs cheats in sport. They are already in Category:Drugs cheats in athletics which is a sub-category of drugs cheats in sports so do not need adding to that category as well..] 20:22, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hi Aecis<br>
and I have noticed that you have been categorising Dutch cities. I applaud the effort, but IMO this category should be under ]. It happens there already was the ] there. How should we solve this? ] 17:16, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

:I think the best option would be to move the articles in ''Cities of the Netherlands'' to ''Dutch cities'', since ''Dutch cities'' contains more articles than ''Cities of the Netherlands'', which would make moving the articles easier. ''Cities of the Netherlands'' could then be deleted. I think Dutch topography is different from Dutch geography, and therefore deserving of a category of its own. ] 17:24, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

::I agree with moving the cities to your new category, but I really think that cities should be under the same subcategory of ] where provinces, municipalities, rivers etc. are to be found. So I would like to suggest to moving ] to ]. Could you agree? ] 17:59, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

:: To answer the point you raised about the difference between the disciplines: the wikipedia defines ] as a ] term ] 19:08, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

== Edit attribution ==

Hi Aecis. Your edits as 217.120.230.237 have now been reattributed to you. Regards ]&mdash; ] | ] 09:32, 2004 Sep 4 (UTC)

== Cephalic disorder ==

You said on ]
*] - On ], someone asked "who doscovered (''sic'') Anencephaly and when". I've removed the comment, but the question remains. Does anyone know who discovered anencephaly, and when? And would that person be so kind as to add that to the anencephaly section of ]? ]

I see that you removed
: I would like to find out who doscovered Anencephaly and when. I need this information for a biology report. If you can post it, it will help a lot. Thanks!
from ]. I appreciate your concern, and i've responded to the comment, but i can't figure out what your plan is for responding to the requester.

''My'' plan, based on that incomplete info, is a temporary pointer where you removed the request from ] (which is still out of place but pretty harmless) and a response to the request at ] as if it had been aked there. And i added my comment to your entry from CU, which can be deleted after a couple of days. Check those places, and fix if i missed something that makes my plan unsuitable to the real situation.

You seem like a committed editor, and i'm glad to have you with us. --]] 01:50, 2004 Oct 20 (UTC)

== Article Licensing ==

Hi, I've ] to get users to ] 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 ] Attribution-Share Alike (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 ]s or into the ] if they prefer. The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Misplaced Pages's license, the ], but it allows '''other projects''', such as ], to use our articles. Since you are among the ] 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:
*] - Lots of questions answered
*]
*]

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" template into their user page, but there are other options at ]. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

:'''Option 1'''
:<nowiki>I agree to ] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>
'''OR'''
:'''Option 2'''
:<nowiki>I agree to ] all my contributions to any ], county, or city article as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" with "'''<nowiki>{{MultiLicensePD}}</nowiki>'''". If you only prefer using the ], I would like to know that too. ''Please let me know'' what you think at my ''']'''. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- ] (| ]

== Terms of the Zagwe dynasty ==
Hi Aecis, I just noticed your edits to ], & I have to ask you where you found these dates; I suspect the source may not be reliable, because they do not match the approximate flourit for the one ruler we have definite information on -- Lalibela, who was king circa 1210. (That snippet can be found at ], which I drew from the work of Taddesse Tamrat.)

I originally removed all dates for this dynasty because they are still under fierce debate: even the Ethiopian sources contradict each other over how long the ] ruled. However, scholarship is always continuing, & if you have a better source than I, I'm eager to learn & add the missing information. -- ] 19:28, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

: Don't fret about it; like you, I'd prefer to provide tangible dates whenever possible, & from my reading I've discovered that Ethiopian Chronology becomes particulary troublesome by this point -- & is very speculative before the Zagwe dynasty! My intent was constructively engage in a discussion & prevent both of us wasting our time reverting each other over this point.

: Do you think a note explaining the lack of dates for these rulers would help avoid someone else in the future adding dates to this section? -- ] 16:44, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

== FC Zwolle ==

Hi, sorry for the slow reply, my laptop died so I've not had much internet access lately.

The article's looking good, but one thing I've thought of is ] and having a some footnotes (for example, see ]) and a References section. I think that would make people more likely to vote in favour, as it seems to be a fairly common criticism of featured article candidates.

Have you had a look at the ] article that I submitted for peer review (I think it's two up from FC Zwolle)? If you've got any ideas on how I could improve it (apart from getting some photos) they'd be much appreciated.

Cheers, ] 7 July 2005 22:12 (UTC)

*Thanks for the suggestions for ]. I've added the table, and will look up the records. If you're not fussed about submitting FC Zwolle as a featured article then I wouldn't worry too much about adding footnotes, but it might be good to have them for things like "ZAC was associated with the local high society, while Zwolsche Boys were associated with the working class. PEC was the club of the local middle class. There was a big rivalry between these three clubs, especially between Zwolsche Boys and PEC" as this sort of thing isn't easy to look up. Other than that it's looking great, and I'll try and get round to giving it another proof-reading, although I don't think it needs one. ] 9 July 2005 17:08 (UTC)
*I've had another look at FC Zwolle now; hope I wasn't too brutal with it :-) It looks like a lot of changes but most of them were very small. The article's looking great.

Chukotavia

Hi! You double-stubbed Chukotavia "because of the location". Could you clarify what you meant by that? Anadyr is definitely not located in Europe :)—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 14:51, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Ah, I didn't realize that you classified at as Russian as opposed to just Chukotka's. This way it, of course, makes sense, although it's still funny to see it labeled as European.—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 20:49, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining. I have no problem with it, it's just that it looked weird when I saw your edit. Hopefully you'll gather enough airlines soon enough to get the new cat started. Take care.—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 21:18, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

A question

Hi Aecis... when you get back from your break, I have a question for you to answer: Have you considered standing for admin? I'll nominate you if you're interested! Grutness...wha? 11:31, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

OK, I can understand that - but have a think about it. If you change your mind, let me know. Grutness...wha? 02:07, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Your nominations.

Am I wrong? I don't think so. Most pro-abortion people don't want this information out. There are plenty of categories and articles that might no appear in an ordinary encyclopedia. This is not an ordinary encyclopedia. So it doesn't matter that you nominated both that is standard operating procedure for people who don't want the info out! Dwain 00:05, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
