"pwn" as a mainstream term

In Internet slang, you have re-instated "pwn" as a mainstream term for total domination. I have never gotten into a revert war, and I'm not going to now over something as inconsequential as this, but can you explain why you think this could possibly be described as mainstream usage?

Image:Fitting-expansion-card.JPG

Hi. Please remove Image:Fitting-expansion-card.JPG from related articles before tagging it for deletion. Images should not be tagged for deletion if they are still used in an article. - Tεxτurε 15:26, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Same for the other images you have tagged for deletion. They are still used by articles. - Tεxτurε 15:28, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. - Tεxτurε 15:57, 11 Nov 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 Misplaced Pages's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. 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. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

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 ] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to ] all my contributions to any ], 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 what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking.

Peugeot

Norm, I dislike the appearance of your Peugeot pic arrangement. I think an article that starts with the pics strung right across the page is ugly. Much better, in my opinion, to have the pics down the right hand side as usual, particularly when more get added. What happens when, say, four more are added. Do we then have a solid block of pics clogging up the start of the article? I don't feel strongly enough to revert you but I thought you'd like to know my feelings - Adrian Pingstone 16:06, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

A second point I forgot to mention is that the right-aligned system avoids the rest of the article being a massive block of plain text with no "eye candy". By running the pics down the right hand edge this is avoided, particularly as more pics arrive - Adrian Pingstone 16:18, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Whoa!!!!!

Hey! Sorry Dude! I didnt think this would affect the whole site!

Sorry about the mess, are you sure you can put it back the way it was?
