Looks like you have busy adding useful info to some of the grammar-related articles. Glad somebody is... Good work! BTW welcome to the project. Power to the wiki! --maveric149

2002.03.09: Thanks! :-) I have to make a confession, though - I shamelessly stole a lot of the grammar stuff from the Finnish language article. I just created various stub articles and tweaked them so that they'd be free-standing.

In answer to your request, here's the link. Sorry about that... seems to have had something to do with the blank spaces at the end or something. This one seemed to work when I put it on the talk:domestic violence page. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?u=/nm/20020304/od_nm/germany_abuse_dc_1 -- April

Hey, Pgdudda: I remember you have an interest in this field, so I think you'll find this article interesting: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=594&ncid=594&e=10&u=/nm/20020405/hl_nm/men_abuse_1 Hope it's helpful! -- April

Thanks for thinking of me! It adds to the body of evidence I have that suggests that women are as likely to be abusers as men, regardless of whether the men suffer from injury. If you (or anyone else) knows of research analyzing how many men have suffered injury due to abuse, but never sought medical attention, I'd love to hear about it. It would lend support to the claim that male victims do not seek help because they are afraid of being ridiculed. I know of at least two cases where a male victim was the one labeled as the abuser and arrested, because police automatically assumed that the man is the abuser in ALL domestic violence situations, regardless of available evidence.

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:

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:

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)
