Just wanted to thank you for being extremely helpful on the wiki. Keep on being teh cool. ^_~ Annoying You, Lemita

Friend of the band

I noticed you linked yourself as the "friend of the band" in the newest newsletter. I was just wondering what the story was behind that. Did you send them an email or something? --badqueso 01:00, 5 Apr 2006 (CDT)

Yeah, I sent Dot a link to the eBay auction on March 3rd. :D -CapitalQ ♫ talk ♪ 05:27, 5 Apr 2006 (CDT)

You don't know the Johns personaly (sp?) do you? Anyways... Dial-A-Song rocks, so thanks a million for informing them. =) {is full of thankfulness to many wiki peoples} --Lemita 19:28, 6 Apr 2006 (CDT)

No, I don't know them; anyone can email Operator Dot. :D -CapitalQ ♫ talk ♪ 19:29, 6 Apr 2006 (CDT)

Sweet. Nice story for the grandkids. --badqueso 00:56, 7 Apr 2006 (CDT)

Bot

How do you make a bot like yours? A real one. The thing 13:12, 9 Apr 2006 (CDT)

I didn't make it, I'm just using a MediaWiki Python bot run from my command prompt. You can get it here. -CapitalQ ♫ talk ♪ 13:34, 9 Apr 2006 (CDT)

RE: Album stuff

Yeah, I kinda guess you're right... =) I've been hunting down their earlier stuff (Lincoln, The Pink Album) but the Border's nearest my house is, alas, very unreliable. I doubt I can find The Pink Album, but I know they have Lincoln there... [/endrant] But yeah, I'm gonna do that! Thanks for the advice. =) --Lemita 16:50, 24 Apr 2006 (CDT)

So I have heard. I've hunted down their stuff at places like Wal-Mart (dragged there) and even their newer stuff is cheaper than Border's! [/end2ndrant] I'm gonna try for the internet, thanks. ^__^ --Lemita 19:25, 24 Apr 2006 (CDT)

It's a little fuzzy, but...

RE: http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/index.php?title=They_Might_Be_Giants&diff=0&oldid=66956

{Warning: the following is a rather long-winded rant}

Wikipedia enforces every last tidbit of the GFDL, so we may not be able to get away with having that here. My concern mainly comes from my noticing back in December that This Might Be A Wiki:Copyrights was a red link. I figured I'd be bold and create it. But were we GFDL or Creative Commons? I didn't know, so I figured Scott and Brad just never considered the license (though having now installed MediaWiki on my PC I see that it won't let you install it without picking one) and picked Creative Commons. I copied the text of Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 to the psgr, wikified and saved it with a note in the edit summary asking if my choice was correct.

I didn't get a response, so I figured I was okay. Recently I noticed our General disclaimer, and it explicitly stated GFDL, but to see the copyrights page for details. The two pages contradicted each other (thanks to me) so I asked on the talk page which one I should change. Getting no response for a week (and still not ahving one), I changed the disclaimer to say Creative Commons.

What this has to do with your edit is that according to Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation all Creative Commons licenses are incompatible with the GFDL (which is what Wikipedia is licensed under) meaning that by putting some GFDL stuff on a Creative Commons licensed wiki, you violate the GFDL.

But then again, I still have yet to receive an answer as to which license this wiki is officially under. I don't have a problem with it being either one (I don't care for the GFDL, but I can live with it), as you can see from my regular contributions to both a Creative Commons wiki and a GFDL one, I just want to know which one.

Wow, so I have absolutely no idea about any of this stuff. I figured since most of the users here were the ones who wrote the Wikipedia article that it'd just be free to paste, you know, from wiki to wiki. I guess I'll just write my own slightly similar blurb for the They Might Be Giants page. -CapitalQ ♫ talk ♪ 06:21, 30 Apr 2006 (CDT)

Thanks

Thanks for the colour change. I really kinda suck at that. I couldn't come up with a colour and I didn't have the time to do so. Thanks again! --ArAn 17:20, 2 May 2006 (CDT)
