I see some people are uncomfortable with you deleting your own user and talk pages. Would you mind undeleting them, listing them at Wikipedia:Speedy_deletions saying you're departing, and leaving me a message on my talk page? Then I'll delete them for you.

Hi Optim, why are you leaving?&#8212;[[User:Eloquence]] 19:55, Mar 6, 2004 (UTC) 

Hi Optim, won't you please reconsider? At least, please explain what's wrong and why you are leaving? If it's because of someone in particular, I feel that you can always ignore such people, and continue on to other articles. In any case, thank you for all the work you have done here, and you will be missed if you decide to leave for good. [[User:Dori]] 20:04, Mar 6, 2004 (UTC)

Hi Optim - I have been around for a short while only, but went through a lot of feelings on a broad scale, thinking this is absolutely silly and why waste any more second, to this is great, I may be contributing to something really worthwhile... May I consider you take a break, get a different perspective, and overall, be asured, that you are most welcome here. --[[User:Palapala|Palapala]]

I hope you decide to come back.  You are a positive influence on the work and the community - [[User:Texture|Texture]] 22:52, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Adding my wishes for you to reconsider. You are a good user, we need more of you - not less. [[User:Secretlondon|Secretlondon]] 22:57, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)

My thoughts correspond to Secretlondon's. More people deserve your WikiCookies/pastries, Optim. [[User:Chris Roy|Chris Roy]] 01:54, 7 Mar 2004 (UTC)

If you had never taken wikivacations, probably it is the good moment. We need the peace profond comments :-) ant

I echo ant's sentiments. I hope you'll be open to rejoining us after a break -- we'll keep the front porch light on for you. In any event, you're great and will be missed. Peace to you! [[User:Bcorr|BCorr ¤ &#1041;&#1088;&#1072;&#1081;&#1077;&#1085; ]] 03:20, Mar 7, 2004 (UTC)

== Article Licensing ==

Hi, I've [[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|started a drive]] to get users to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|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 [[Creative Commons License|License]]s 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 [[Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits|top 1000]] 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:
*[[User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ|Multi-Licensing FAQ]] - Lots of questions answered
*[[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|Multi-Licensing Guide]]
*[[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|Free the Rambot Articles Project]]

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" template into their user page, but there are other options at [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User namespace#Licensing Templates|Template messages/User namespace]].  The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

:'''Option 1'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>
'''OR'''
:'''Option 2'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" with "'''<nowiki>{{MultiLicensePD}}</nowiki>'''".  If you only prefer using the [[GFDL]], I would like to know that too.  ''Please let me know'' what you think at my '''[[User talk:Ram-Man|talk page]]'''.  It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. [[User:Ram-Man|<nowiki></nowiki>]] &ndash; [[User:Ram-Man|Ram-Man]] <sup>([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit&section=new comment]) ([[User talk:Ram-Man|talk]])</sup>[[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 14:43, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)

== Popups tool ==

Congratulations on being made a bureaucrat! I thought you might like to know of a javascript tool that may help in your editing by giving easy access to many admin features. It's described at [[Wikipedia:Tools#Navigation_popups]]. The quick version of the installation procedure for admins is to paste the following into  [[User:{{PAGENAME}}/monobook.js]]:
<pre>
// [[User:Lupin/popups.js]] - please include this line 

document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="' 
             + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/popups.js'

Following a [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/suspend sysop rights of inactive admins|community discussion]] in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard]] and the userright will be restored per the [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats#Resysopping|re-sysopping process]] (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions).

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a [[Wikipedia_talk:Administrators#Restoration_of_the_tools_.28proposal.29|recent change]] to the [[WP:ADMIN|administrator policy]] that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that you will not longer be able to request restoration of the tools because of your prior inactivity.

== About the economic crisis in Greece and the temporary closure of ERT ==

I am very nervous, I am and some are tired of what is going on in Greece.  The ambitions there are partly stolen.  It cannot continue.  Most of the people don't want it to continue.  France needs (uncertainly desperately) to be occupied as a punishment for the IMF to arrest ships from Argentina for not paying the debt at a large number in late 2012.  There is no mind to make one economic crisis to a near critical level.  The economic problems in Greece cannot be renewed or worsen.  It makes us very very angry, it is absolutely unacceptable.  It is absolutely an emergency.  The closure of ERT on I think it was the 3rd, or the 5th of June made me depressed and very angry, the temper soared almost dramatically.  It was absolutely very insane.  It is strictly forbidden that the economic crisis in Greece along with Spain to continue, I favor that some abandoned homes in the South of France to be damaged as a punishment.  We have a strong anti-French fervor in my area.  This I think can be also put not only on a planned website but on Facebook as well.  I will be likely to find another user here, Creative Commons or Facebook to talk if one is busy, when it deeply gets on my nerves, I will comment and explain.  Don't make us angry just like the Incredible Hulk.  I have no support on some of the French policies.  France needs to be under foreign control.

On the other, we have no support on the merger of communal parishes in the city areas of municipalities of Portugal.

I will try to put messages on a non-encyclopedic site, Wikia, non-Wikia, Creative Commons and Facebook as well if it is an emergency only (that is related to the economic crisis in Greece). [[User:Da Desirer 2|Da Desirer 2]] ([[User talk:Da Desirer 2|talk]]) 22:34, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

== Το status σου ως διαχειριστής ==

Γεια σου. Είμαι [[:m:stewards|steward]]. Μια νέα [[:m:Admin activity review|πολιτική]] που αναφέρεται στην αφαίρεση  "αυξημένων δικαιωμάτων" (διαχειριστή, γραφειοκράτη, κλπ.) έχει υιοθετηθεί με [[:m:Requests for comment/Activity levels of advanced administrative rights holders|συναίνεση της κοινότητας]] πρόσφατα. Σύμφωνα με αυτή την πολιτική, οι stewards επιθεωρούν τη δραστηριότητα των διαχειριστών στα wikis που δεν έχουν πολιτική για τους μη ενεργούς διαχειριστές.
 
Εσύ πληρείς τα κριτήρια της μη δραστηριότητας (καθόλου επεξεργασίες και διαχειριστικές ενέργειες για 2 χρόνια) στο elwiki, όπου είσαι διαχειριστής . Από τη στιγμή που το elwiki δεν διαθέτει δική του διαδικασία επιθεώρησης για τα δικαιώματα των διαχειριστών, εφαρμόζεται η καθολική διαδικασία.
 
Αν επιθυμείς να διακρατήσεις τα δικαιώματά σου, θα πρέπει να ειδοποιήσεις την κοινότητα ότι οι stewards σου έστειλαν αυτή την επιστολή σχετικά με την απουσία δραστηριότητας από την πλευρά σου  και για να συζητήσετε το θέμα. Ακολουθώντας τη συζήτηση της κοινότητας σου, και αν η κοινότητα επιθυμεί τη διακράτηση των δικαιωμάτων σου, παρακαλούμε να επικοινωνήσεις με το  [[:m:Stewards' noticeboard]], και να παράσχεις έναν σύνδεσμο προς τη συζήτηση της τοπικής κοινότητας, όπου θα εκφράζεται η επιθυμία τους η συνέχιση διακράτησης των δικαιωμάτων, και  επίδειξης των διαρκών προϋποθέσεων διακράτησης αυτών των δικαιωμάτων.
 
Εμείς οι  stewards θα αξιολογήσουμε τις απαντήσεις. Αν δεν υπάρχει καμία απάντηση μετά από ένα μήνα περίπου, θα προχωρήσουμε στην αφαίρεση των δικαιωμάτων σου. Σε περιπτώσεις αμφιβολίας, θα αξιολογήσουμε τις απαντήσεις και θα στείλουμε μια απόφαση πίσω στην τοπική κοινότητα για τα σχόλια και τις παρατηρήσεις. Αν έχεις κάποιες ερωτήσεις, παρακαλούμε να επικοινωνήσεις μαζί μας στο  [[:m:Stewards' noticeboard]].
