Lucid Wikicities copyright
Heys, sorry about that. I saw no license metadata so I felt I had to write something.

I don't think anybody would object to the GFDL license. Is it really necessary to remove their content?

Specifically, lucid:User:R3m0t and lucid:User:IDX would obviously immediately agree. lucid:User:Quippo knows a bit about free licenses and I can contact her if I must. lucid:User:212.219.116.250 is the anonymous IP of IDX. lucid:User:83.177.144.10 is the anonymous IP of pasQuale. I don't think anybody else has written much. lucid:User:69.238.170.74 perhaps. r3m0t 09:54, 23 May 2005 (UTC)


 * I think it would be best to contact them just to make sure the content is cleanly licensed under the GFDL. Angela (talk) 03:36, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

Pages Disappearing
For whatever reason, both the Community Portal and Town Hall (Village Pump equivalent) of dnd: are disappearing. Are you moving the wiki right now, or is something very wrong happening? Mathx314(talk)(email) 18:46, 25 May 2005 (UTC)


 * It's fixed temporarily and reported at 126. Angela (talk) 22:01, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Now that the wiki has been moved, the dnd: interwiki no longer works. Might we be able to set up a polaqu: interwiki? Mathx314(talk)(email) 01:40, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Done. polaqu: will work now. Angela (talk) 04:35, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Two things about althist
First of all, spam:. --millosh (talk) 23:42, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Second, please look at the Main Page discussion about separating althist languages. --millosh (talk) 23:42, 29 May 2005 (UTC) I asked for new Wikicity. --millosh (talk) 18:32, 30 May 2005 (UTC)


 * I'll added qx5\.net to the Spam Blacklist and I'll make the new wiki today. Angela (talk) 07:38, 31 May 2005 (UTC)


 * Great and thanks :) --millosh (talk) 08:49, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the help!
Thank you for the help cleaning up the spam edits on the Concord wiki. I've had Internet problems over the last couple of weeks, so I hadn't even seen them. Though, since there's only a couple of users right now, I would've spotted them soon enough, but thanks. Thanks also for filling in the Copyrights page, one of many administrivial things I kept meaning to get around to. Alfvaen 03:52, 30 May 2005 (UTC)


 * I'm glad I could help. :) If you see any more spam, just list it at Talk:Spam Blacklist and it can be blocked. Angela (talk) 07:38, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

Thank You
Thanks for trusting me with administrative rights! I'll try to use them for good. :-) Let me know if there are any specific activities where you'd like help in addition to the general responsibilities.  --CocoaZen 00:45, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Memory Alpha Dutch Admin
Hey Angela, I tried to make a new admin on MA Dutch, ut I'm having some problems. Perhaps I'm no longer a bureacrat there. Anyway, could you make the User Q an admin? I need to have someone back me up there, because I don't always keep track and the occasional vandal gets away. Thanks. -- Redge | Talk 11:46, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

has my application failed or what?
hi. i applied for a new wiki on economics couple of weeks ago and i havent heard anything back from wikicities about it. what happened was i rejected?! i dont see my wiki proposal being in the reject list. did i do something wrong?--GregLoutsenko 22:28, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay. A problem with the creation script has meant new wikis couldn't be created since our recent move. I will try this again today and let you know when it is made. Angela (talk) 01:41, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

links to bg.wiki
Hi Angela. Is there a way to create links to bulgarian wikipedia (other than creating external links)? I mean, with wikipedia: the links are redirected to en:, is there a way or a chance another interwiki to be created, bgwikipedia:, bgwiki: or something like that? This will be very useful for ancientworld (for now) and every other bulgarian wikicity (in the future). Regards, DCLXVI 09:52, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Yes, you can use Article name to link to the Bulgarian Wikipedia. Angela (talk) 11:51, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * It returns an error. I tried to link енциклопедия (encyclopedia), just to test it.


 * Bad title
 * The requested page title was invalid, empty, or an incorrectly linked inter-language or inter-wiki title.

--DCLXVI 18:12, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Very interesting.  I can confirm that I had the same happen -- I tried both Real Madrid and Ρεάλ Μαδρίτης just to try another non-Latin alphabet.   The Spanish worked but the Greek didn't.  Thus I conclude that second-generation Interwiki (pass a language prefix to Wikipedia, who then directs you to the correct language version) doesn't seem to work for non-Latin alphabets.   HTH, PhilipR 20:19, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Ah... this is because the link goes via the English Wikipedia, which isn't UTF8 yet so doesn't allow titles like Енциклопедия. Try redirecting via meta isn't of en: Енциклопедия. This will work, as will the shortcut "m" instead of "MetaWikipedia": Енциклопедия. Angela (talk) 21:32, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Cool, thanks. I want to report too, that the problem with stats on Ancientworld, reported in 56 is now fixed on this wiki. But the old articles, created before the fix are not counted. Is there a way to include them? -- DCLXVI 04:07, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

CC share alike for HoH
Is it possible to put CC share alike license on HoH? There is no need for GFDL. --millosh (talk) 22:50, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * All Wikicities need to be compatible with each other, and it is generally useful if they are compatible with Wikimedia's projects as well. For this reason, you do need to have them be GFDL. However, you are welcome to dual license the edits under a CC license, so people could choose whether to use the content under the GFDL or CC. Please see Multi-licensing for more information on this. Angela (talk) 00:47, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I realized yesterday that there would be a lot of problems widh CC-only... For example, if I use some text from Wikipedia and change it, I would have to write that that article is under GFDL... So, I would stay on GFDL. I just thought that it is possible to escape from GFDL (and to make distribution more easy) at the beginning of the project, but it is not. Anyway, thanks for the advices. (I don't think that I'll use dual license because it would make a lot of other difficulties.) --millosh (talk) 17:26, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
