User talk:666~enwiki
Hello 666, welcome to Wikipedia.
You might find these links helpful: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.
If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump, or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!
- You can introduce yourself on the new user log.
- You can find lots more information, including open tasks and daily tips, at the community portal.
- You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp as well.
- Before saving a page, it's a good idea to use the Show preview button to review your edits. Also, consider writing a summary for each edit.
Again, welcome! Chris Roy 20:20, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Please settle on one user name and stick with it. RickK | Talk 20:40, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)
As long as you stick with this name, I'm happy. However, you say on your User page:
- My edits are licensed under the BSD license.
666, aka Mark, I like your writing style. Never mind RickK' BS. He (or she) is expressing nothing but a personal opinion in asking you to adopt a user name and to continue to use it.
I only have one question. Am I you? It seems all Wikidissidents are the same person, so I must be. But I have no interest in religious sybolism, so I can't be you. On the other hand, User names such as 172 and 168 are okay, so I must be you. I'm sure you can follow my reasoning. Thanks again for your worthless contributions to this valuable resource. er. I mean your valuable contributions to this worthless resource. I mean uh, your worth contributions to value this resource.
It wasn't a correct addition, you need to do {{msg:vfd}} Dori | Talk 21:49, Mar 28, 2004 (UTC)
Also note that reverting a page more than three times is against policy. See Wikipedia:Revert and Wikipedia talk:How to revert a page to an earlier version/Poll: Revert wars considered harmful. Dori | Talk 21:57, Mar 28, 2004 (UTC)
You have already broken the 3-revert rule at least here: [1]. So consider the above to have been a warning. The next time you break it, it's a Wikipedia:Quickpoll. Dori | Talk 22:03, Mar 28, 2004 (UTC)

Hello, i could help but notice that putting VFD was considered vandalism, I am rather discussed with Dori's attitude He/she/it should have told you to put {{msg:vfd}}, rather than simply call it 'vandalim' thank comrade--Plato 03:44, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)
User:666 says on his User page, My edits are licensed under the BSD license.. Can someone tell us if this is compatible with the GFDL? RickK | Talk 21:02, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- As a matter of policy, it doesn't seem to me that a user can separately license his edits, as it would destroy the licensing integrity of any article the user made even a small edit to. If the is has any potential at all for legal conflict perhaps the boilerplate should read
- All contributions to Wikipedia are released under the GNU Free Documentation License and no other conflicting license may be claimed. Cecropia 21:12, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- He's just messing with you—when editing a page, a user accepts Wikipedia's license terms. But see fsf.org for their view of the BSD license if you're interested. Mkweise 21:14, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- A writer retains rights to whatever they submit to Wikipedia, but they cannot then impose a more stringent copyright. If the writer submits the work to another site with a more stringent license, republishers of the second site with the savy to find the more lenient prior copyright can avoid the more stringent terms of the second restriction. However, if a writer decides to declare all of their contributions to Wikipedia to be public domain, the work can then be republished with no GNU restrictions. A writer may also resell their work, even though it is already published under GNU. If a naive publisher does not know the work is already available under a GNU license, the writer may earn income from the work, but the publisher may not then claim copyrights to the GNU work, except in so far as the publisher has formatted the writers original UNCOPYRIGHTED work. So Wikipedia puts a GNU stamp on whatever they get from a writer, but a writer may use that same work to seed whatever other copyrighted versions they care to create, if they can find a market for material very similar to something already available under GNU license. I hope this clarifies matters somewhat.
- Not really. You claim that a publisher would be "naive" to pay for something already available under the GFDL, and I guess by extension under the GPL. I don't think that's true at all. The whole idea of the GFDL and GPL and copyleft in general is that these licences are viral, in that whenever you publish material under copyleft, your publication of it must be copyleft too (and there are additional restrictions as to the form this copyleft may take, this is why we say it must be under a compatible license, it doesn't need to be the same license in theory although in practice it nearly always is). As most publishers (not all) don't want to copyleft what they publish, they must either break the law or apply for copyright release in the normal way, including paying for it if the author asks.

- I believe there is a word to describe their behaviour, however it escapes me at the momement. Maximus Rex 21:15, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)
The Modified BSD License is, in my opinion, compatible with the GFDL. The Original BSD License is not, because of the "obnoxious advertising clause". Of course, any user may dual-license their contributions under whatever terms they like, as contributors retain copyright to their own work on Wikipedia. (IANAL) Martin 17:44, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)
I'm tempted to say the BS license is compatible with ROFL but I won't I will, however, posit that the choice of a username is in the same category as verious reverences to God or Christ and it seems rather unlikely that this user is unaware of the bit about the Beast in Revelations. Anyway I think it's improper ;Bear 16:14, 2004 Apr 6 (UTC)
- That's stupid; your username could be just as improper, since I worship a Bear (not, but the point is valid). ··gracefool |☺ 22:24, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Alea Jacta Est, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

License tagging for Image:WARCRY.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:WARCRY.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 06:08, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Alea Jacta Est[edit]
An editor has nominated Alea Jacta Est, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alea Jacta Est and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

HI, you don't give any context whatsoever for this article. Who is the recording artist? CD? Mixtape? When did it come out? 172.161.92.69 09:49, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Vandalism[edit]
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. andy 11:29, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism and are immediately reverted. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:666[edit]
A tag has been placed on User:666 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. I am One of Many (talk) 05:24, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
Your account will be renamed[edit]
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 666. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name 666~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

Renamed[edit]
This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)
