TimShell
Hi Tim Shell,
i was lead to your photo website from las vegas articles: http://www.timshell.com/pics.html
I have browsed some of your las vegas photos and others. I enjoyed them greatly!
I was wondering if i can use some of your photos on my own website. If you require credit, i'd be glad to credit it, and link back to your website if you like. Please let me know know. Thanks! Xah Lee P0lyglut 07:15, 2004 Jun 30 (UTC)
- Yes, that would be fine, if you include the link back to my site. - Tim
Hi. I just deleted Jin-Qua which you yourself marked as being deleted. However you better use {{delete}} instead of {{vfd}} for something which should be deleted without the need for discussion - if it is not a clear case you better do the complete vfd process. And maybe you had better moved the first version of your article to the new ___location, and then exchange the automatically created redirect with the delete note - that way it would be much less confusing to have a valid article in the history upon deletion. andy 09:50, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Mojave Desert
Hi Tim. Thanks for your recent addition to the Mojave Desert article with your photo. Please see my comments about it at Talk:Mojave Desert. Thanks! --avnative 13:49, Aug 6, 2004 (UTC)
Noble House
Great job on the Noble House characters. You might want to reconsider having links for all the minor and mentioned characters on the Noble House page, except maybe for the founding Struans. I think it would be great to have a Struan's family tree compiled from info in all three Struan's books at some point, but that would really be a lot of work. Thumbs up. --Aramgutang 01:39, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I've just created an Asian Saga category, and felt you deserved to be notified, since most of the articles I moved into it were by you. :) --Paul A 05:26, 16 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 Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 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:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
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 [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], 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. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

The "puffery" I refered to was the long list of quotes talking about how wonderful she is. RickK 21:16, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
Thanks!

Image tags
Hello, I am cleaning some of the image copyright tags and Image:TimShell-LaJolla20031207.jpg doesn't have a license tag, I realize that's a personal picture, so I didn't want to assume gfdl. Thanks :D - cohesion ☎ 09:30, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)
Word
Hi, Just writing to say that I like your theories…the good enough is better then best theory is awesome! I have often times thought about how that is true, however it is easy to loose sight of this understanding especially in America. KEEP IT REAL!

my name is Robin Amer and I'm a producer for a new public radio show called Open Source, which you can check out here: www.radioopensource.org.

thanks so much! I look forward to speaking with you.

Adminship of Timshell and Tim Shell
Hi Tim. User:Timshell and User:Tim Shell are both admins. I suggest that User:Timshell should be de-sysopped. Also, perhaps you'd like to have adminship transferred from User:Tim Shell to you? What is your opinion of this? dbenbenn | talk 5 July 2005 16:10 (UTC)
Didn't realize there was a User:Tim Shell account - so if you de-sysop or de-anything that account (the one with the space), that would be fine. TimShell 5 July 2005 16:57 (UTC)
- I've written a tool to figure out which admins are active. This tool starts by querying the sysop user list (like this), which finds user:Timshell, not user:TimShell. You've apparently never made any edits as user:Timshell, so I'm a little confused. Is the sysop'd account the wrong one? I guess I don't really care very much, but it seems this is something you might want to get fixed. -- Rick Block (talk) 23:54, July 24, 2005 (UTC)
User categorization
Greetings! Your user page hasn't been vandalized :-) --it was updated to use the new User Categorization scheme. Although I know that some people don't like to be "categorized" I have categorized your User Page as a Wikipedian in Nevada (Category:Wikipedians in Nevada) since your name was listed on the Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Nevada page and I didn't want to lose sight of that. The Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Nevada page is scheduled for deletion. Thanks! Roby Wayne Talk • Hist 03:43, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
Old user page
Hi, your old user page from the main namespace has been moved to User:TimShell/Old, complete with history (from 2001!). Noel (talk) 01:09, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
