Speak to Me! (haha, buttsecks?)

As a confirmed mustard jar for taking on this job as a Sysop on RationalWiki: I pledge to only block users if they ask for it, or insert unfunny vandalism. I furthermore pledge that if I indulge in secret private conversations about you, we will make a formal report to the mob. Is that all? If you impugn my motives without warrant, or challenge my "AUTHORITY", er, there is nothing I can or will do.

I'm working on the Karajou thing you forced on me, and he has a poor reading of the basic documents establishing the USA. I'm working on it, but if you feel like cutting short my research by putting in the stuff you already know, feel free.--PalMD^-Goatspeed! 12:46, 4 July 2007 (CDT)

Awwwww yeah. Edit conflict time. Gotta go for a bit pretty soon, but I'll see what I can do.-αmεσG 12:47, 4 July 2007 (CDT)

PF Fox's Blogs

PF Fox is going to join us soon. I told her she's a hero of ours for fighting the good fight on Conservapedia, and she has a few blogs that some of us might want to check out. She has a five-part section on Conservapedia currently under development. Clearly, she's pretty awesome.

Cleaning up

Now that you've moved your sig template to User:AmesG/AmesGsig, I was wondering if the leftover redirects Template:AmesGsig and Template talk:AmesGsig could be deleted? There's nothing linking to them at the moment. -- Stevo (talk) 09:06, 6 July 2007 (CDT)

Please do, sorry :-(-αmεσg

That's fine, we're just having fun cleaning up all the linkless redirects at the moment. Thanks -- Stevo (talk) 10:10, 6 July 2007 (CDT)

Oh great NYU Lawyer[sic], "loser"?

Now I have been known to parse some nasty legalize in my time on this here Earth and I think I knows what this says, I think it says that we can assign additional copy rights beyond GNU FDL to original works here at RW even though we use mediawiki and wikipedia documents. But why don't ya have a look and see if ya agree with my legal like analysis:

"7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS

A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves derivative works of the Document.

If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate."

Tmtoulouse 10:22, 7 July 2007 (CDT)

I think it means that the site's copyright would not be imputed to all documents: "the whole is [less] than the sum of its parts"? What are you pulling this from? If you give me the name of the primary source, I can tell you more about it by seeing what secondary sources (treatises) say about it, to make sure that as-applied it's what we want.-αmεσ (!) 11:43, 7 July 2007 (CDT)

Here is the source. Again the question is, can we release specific works under a MORE restrictive copyright than GNU FDL on our site, using mediawiki, if it does not use any GNU FDL document material. Tmtoulouse 11:47, 7 July 2007 (CDT)

I'll have a look :-D -αmεσ (!) 12:00, 7 July 2007 (CDT)

Shit, this is complicated. To clarify, it matters that we're using MediaWiki because MediaWiki requires GDFL. We want to release some articles under more restrictive rights, though. Right?-αmεσ (!) 12:31, 7 July 2007 (CDT)

Right thats what I am afraid of, that use of mediawiki means anything on mediawiki will require a GDFL copyright. I know you can release stuff on a more "open" copyright...but yes...the question is can you release something thats more restrictive. Tmtoulouse 12:36, 7 July 2007 (CDT)

*Searching.* I'll let you know what I find.-αmεσ (!) 12:46, 7 July 2007 (CDT)
