Hi, I had an edit conflict with you on Alan Blunt, and have kept my edit (which keeps the important parts of the original). Hope you agree with it ··gracefool 10:39, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Please be careful. When you edited those redirects, you made them point to another redirect page, which is is known as a "double-redirect" and is not desirable since it stops at a redirect page and not the article. I've fixed these up, now. Dysprosia 20:55, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
what do you think about setting up a wikipedia project for dance? sit might be the best place to organise the dance content from and have some consistancy in what is being put down, whatdo you think? Ohka-
I'll respond to that when you tell me what data you have to back up that "John Kerry is friend to all children"... Frankly, since he supports partial-birth abortion - which is the partial extraction and killing of full term pre-birth infants, I don't see how that can be true. That said, do you really want to go there, or do you admit you were just teasing? and if so, am I also allowed the same largesse? And if so, please lighten up...Rex071404 07:42, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I Moved this here because I would like to continue to conversation here, if it continues at all.
1st note: I am on voluntary 2-3 days hiatus from JK page. That said, here is my reply to you on JK - PBA:
Kerry Has Voted At Least Six Times Against Banning Partial-Birth Abortion. (H.R. 1833, CQ Vote #596: Passed 54-44: R 45-8; D 9-36; I 0-0, 12/7/95, Kerry Voted Nay; H.R. 1833, CQ Vote #301: Motion Rejected 57-41: R 45-6; D 12-35; I 0-0, 9/26/96, Kerry Voted Nay; H.R. 1122, CQ Vote #71: Passed 64-36: R 51-4; D 13-32, 5/20/97, Kerry Voted Nay; H.R. 1122, CQ Vote #277: Rejected 64-36: R 51-4; D 13-32, 9/18/98, Kerry Voted Nay; S. 1692, CQ Vote #340: Passed 63-34: R 48-3; D 14-31, I 1-0, 10/21/99, Kerry Voted Nay; S. 3, CQ Vote #402: Agreed To 64-34: R 47-3; D 17-30; I 0-1, 10/21/03, Kerry Voted Nay)
Kerry Says, “There Is No Such Thing As A Partial Birth.” “Just hours after President Bush signed a law banning what critics of the procedure call ‘partial-birth abortion,’ Senator John F. Kerry declared last night ‘there is no such thing as a partial birth,’ as he and the other Democratic presidential contenders sought the political support of women voters. … ‘It is a late-term abortion. They have done a very effective job of giving people a sense of fear about it. It’s part of their assault on the rights of women in America. … There’s nothing partial about their effort to undo Roe v. Wade.’” (Glen Johnson, “Kerry Hits Ban On Abortion Procedure,” The Boston Globe, 11/6/03)
Now as to the specific claim you make which relies on the "mother's health"; that term, in the context of various proposed laws controlling PAB does not have ordinary day-to-day meaning. Rather, it's a very broad term of legal art which encompasses a sweeping justification for PBA based on a broad interepration of "mental health". Such interpretations, as currently viewed by most metal health practitioners, would justify PBA to prevent mothers from being "depressed" or "sad". Such loop-holes are simply chimeras for facile excuses to create enough "gray-area" in the law, that enforcement of it is effectively impossible.
To my knowledge, Kerry has never voted "pro-life" even once in the last 10 years. Can you name the vote(s), if you differ? Rex071404 15:10, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Either "drunk driving" is wrong and should be stopped or it isn't - and we should care. There is no ambiguity there. It's irrelevant what a person's personal views are. For example, I am someon who views the do and don't admonitions of the Bible very seriously. The way I view it, in regards to modern alcoholic liquids such as beer, winer, spirits, go, there is no place for them in my home. This is 1st a religious belief, but secondly, having studied the topic closely, it's also a scientific belief. By personal studies on the topic have made clear to me that consumption of alcohol has a deleterious effect on the human body. As such, even if I were not under a religious duty to be a good steward of my body (but I am), on practical level, I would still avoid alcohol.
It is the same with Abortion. There is both a spiritual aspect "Children are a gift from God..." and a scientific aspect - that entity which is being aborted is indeed an in-process human being. When one legislates against abortion, one, in effect, makes a statement along these lines: "As a society, we have interdependancies to each other which must be honored, or society becomes 'every-man-forhimself'. Modern caring societies, ddo not operate that way, and neither can ours. Aborttion devalues human life, kills a developing person and enables the sexual exploitation of women. These negatives are not suffciently offset by the ehnanced personal 'freedom' which 'choice' allows, for that reason, I am opposed to abortion".
John Kerry is using facile reasoning when he suggests that merely because he claims to have a faith-based personal posiiton on the topic of Abortion, he cannot see the real world deleterious effects of Abortion on people.
And in particular, in regards to Partial-Birth Abotion, let's not forget what is going on here: A fully formed infant - one that certainly is viable outside the womb, is partially delivered, feet first; then with it's head still in the cervix, it's skil is crushed, killing it. this diffrs from infanticide only by the fact that the head remains in the womb.
If indeed you are a Quaker, I am suposing that you accept as true that there is a God, yes? The Bible teaches me this "Withhold not good from whom it is due, when it is the power of thy hand to give it".
This is a moral ethic which, if followed, is a good foundation for sane, caring societal laws. Moder society must have a moarla foundation - once which rwests on truths which cannot be negotioated away. Societies which rest on on man-made premises, either are, or evnetually become fascist. I challenge you to disprove this.
The reason why Kerry can induce you to accept the inference of his assertions about his "personal faith" (as tou concede he has done) is because you arre imputing your personal logic into his public assertions.
Unlike you however, since Kerry is wearing the mantle of US Senator, he is required to check his biases att the door. It's not enough to say "I am personally against..." something. What's required of a US Senator is to confirm through study that the underlying ethic of one's belief can be translatd into rules that serve society as a whole, the best. If not, then when leaves their views out. However, if yes, then inserting one's view is not only logically sound, it's morally proper.
The beauty of America, is that those who want to "op-out" can. For exmaple, the Mennonites in my area do not vote (not the ones I have spoken with anyway). And in that, they are at liberty in USA to not do so. However, if my senator was a Mennonite, faith or not, if he did not vote, I would want him out of office.
Likewise with Kerry (who is my Senator - I'm MA). He has a lot of nerve claiming that his "Catholic" beliefs keep him from protecting unborn chilren. There is more to the equatiton than that. One need not be Catholic, not anything else to see the barbarism of cushing the skulls of partially born children.
And to top it off, Kerry mis-reprenst himself as a Catholic. Cahtlisims is a "top-down" heirarchal, mostly-Christian (preying to Mary is not Christian) religion. A basic tenant of Catholisims is that the Pope defines the articles of faith. The Roman Catholic Church, from which Kerry claims his "faith" is as a matter of faith, practice and doctrine, opposed to Abortion. For Kerry to do the opposite and then say he must because he is foced to keep his "faith" from being imposed, is intentionally misleading.
While is is a senator, he has a duty as a senator. If is telling me that his hands are tied because of his faith and that he can not oppose abortion because he equates that with, in effect, tryign to prostelytize the citizens, then what e is telling me is false. One need not be converted to Catholisims in order to want to limit the barbaric practice of child murder.
And Partial-birth Abortion is indeed just that: Child murder. There is no way to gloss that up and there is no way to hide that behind one's intentional confuions of one's private duty to faith and public duty to good law.
Kerry, as a senator, has a public duty to good law, which you, as a private citizen, do not. You are free to imagine abortion to be whatever you think it is, based on faith, or what have you. Kerry on the other hand, is not ffree to disregarrd the factual evidence as to how abortion heurts people and society. Regardless of whether or not he feels squeemish about the risk that he might be "imposing his views", it just so happens that when one's views are correct, one ought to try to do just that - at least to some degree.
Hainvg said that, along the lines off "Prohibition" which showed that alcohol is in such high demand that an outright ban only created a sub-culture of crime and violence, to alesser degre, an outright band on Abortion would also not be owrkable. There is however, nothing impossible about banning Partial-brith Abortion. And since it could be done, is barbaric and is actually never a medical nessecity, there is no reason to allow it to remain legal. That is unless of course, one has sold their soul to NARAL, as I contend that Kerry has done. Rex071404 13:39, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hi Lyellin, thanks for the invitation. My "angle" (and original intrest in creating the category), if I my say so, is that of the music composed for the Ballets Russes: if one takes together all the music that was composed following comissions from Serge Diaghilev one has the crème de la crème of all classical music composed around the first World War: I wanted to exploit the Wikipedia opportunities in visualising such relations (that tie together Richard Strauss and Claude Debussy, Respighi and Prokofiev, etc... but also Winnaretta Singer and Vaslav Nijinsky, to name only a few extremes that one can find in this fascinating cocktail). Besides becoming interested in some aspects of dance (and dancers) in throwing myself in this topic, alas I'm no dance expert, and don't know very well where all this fits in the categories of the Wikipedia dance project. I primarily see Ballets Russes as an example par excellence of a ballet company that was a major influence on its time (and long after). Does this help you in any way? -- Francis Schonken 06:04, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I've been bolding the medal winners (not only in Athletics, but in Archery as well - going alphabetically here) because that's what the consistent format is. That format started before there were Results by Medal sections. Looking at the US page, I can definitely see how it's not a great look when you have a lot of medal sweeps. However, on the smaller countries, it does call attention to medal winners. I don't have a real preference either way, except for consistency. Not sure where a discussion should be held about it, but if there is a discussion and people agree on one way of doing it, that's the way it should be done. - Jonel 05:53, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I don't know whether you still have much interest in the Rex071404 arbitration. The committee is now considering the following as one of its proposed findings of fact: "The compaining witnesses in this matter, because of their numerical majority, felt that Rex071404 did not represent a point of view which had a magnitude of importance equal to theirs, despite its societal significance." I got pretty cheesed off at this. The short of it is that we're being unjustly criticized, without even being told that there was a complaint against us. The long of it is here, here and here. It's produced a pretty typical exchange between Rex on one side and Gamaliel and me on the other. I mention all this only because the ArbCom is considering a proposed finding that, IMO, reflects badly on you, so I thought you ought to know about it in case you want to get involved. If you have more will power than I do and can resist the temptation to keep wasting time on this stuff, more power to you! JamesMLane 09:00, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I'd love some help with the WikiReader! As you can see; I've not done much myself; recently I've had so little time to devote to the project. There is a small to-do list on the Project page; there's a list of things that need to/would be nice if they were done. Apart from that, it would be nice with some input and modification to the list of articles to be included -- if we could "freeze" this set, we could formulate the specific tasks to take the WikiReader to the next step in progress.

And now im trying to get a new wikibook about quechua started up and a tri-lingual cross-project notice board set up for everything relating to Latin America (although im putting that off till we get universal logins and watchlists). hot-damn, i need a few more hundred hours in each day.

I had some trouble testing that nice utility, probably because of an incomplete setup, but http://wiki.auf-trag.de/ probably doesn't see Noether's theorem, it can't see the article. I was led to the wiki2PDF link from the Shakespeare note you posted on the Version 1.0 Editorial Team talk page. This wikiReader project has success written all over it. Nice choice of topic! And you are able to work in peace on the topic, unlike some others which are like Grand Central terminal. It probably helps to have a self-selected/interested set of people of like mind. That is going to be the challenge in the Version 1.0 Editorial Team. (Probably if each article is taken, one at a time, with a selected team for each, then there is a chance for succeeding.)

I am just about ready to post a new graphic for world surface conditions under the weather section on Wikinews. However, it appears that I can only update the two-column section underneath the single-column header and timestamp of the last update. In other words, I can no longer update where it says "November 29 Surface conditions".
I want to remove the two columns below the header section and update the single column section (the one with the "November 29 Surface conditions" text) to have a large thumbnail graphic with two links underneath it for Fahrenheit and Celsius versions of the full map.
Could you add an "Update" link to the single-column Weather section or otherwise make it possible for non-Admins to edit this section?
Thanks.

Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images.

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:
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:
OR
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)

Hey Lyellin, I'm so glad I found you. The reason: I walked into the maze of dance categories when trying to add cats to the lindy hop page. I naively thought "there MUST be a simpler way to categorize these things" and started to map them out, but the more I did the more enormous the problem became. That gave me the idea that perhaps someone had already tackled the difficult problem and found that this was the best result. So....
I was curious how far you got on cleaning up the dance categories (e.g., did it come to the best you come to? Or was there more to be done but little interest in the community? Are you still working on it?) I saw the template in your sandbox, but never saw it on any of the dance pages on which it could be [really] useful. I'd appreciate any info you have, thanks!-- Will.i.am 21:42, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi,
I've recently added Libya to the list of featured article candidates. Overall the candidature is going well with many of the objections now sorted out. The final concrete objection is with the article's prose. I have been the main contributor to the article and have been looking at it for the previous 9 - 10 months. My eyes no longer see it freshly, so I am not a suitable copy-editor!
To meet the final demand of copy editing, I have been advised to ask different people to edit parts of the article.
I would really love to get this article featured as you can probably see from the page's history! I've worked very hard on it and I see this as possibly being the final hurdle.
You can see the prose objections, mostly raised by
Sandy, on the
candidature page. If you have the time, please choose a section (Politics, Religion, Culture etc.) and copyedit, perfect, ace it! I would be very grateful with any help I can get.
Thanks a lot,

Hey Lyellin, the 1970s policy revision of the nationality rooms enabled the use of a "broader definition of nation, i.e., a body of people associated with a particular territory or possessing a distinctive cultural and social way of life." The requirement that the rooms be in the style of 1787 or early is still intact as far as I know, but in any case, no current or planned room is designed in a period that would reflect post-1787.

Please consider joining the working group for the WMF DC chapter. Since we have a very active and very community oriented DC/MD/VA area group of Wikipedians, it only makes sense to develop it as a chapter, especially given the recent changes to the Board of Trustees structure, giving chapters more of a vote. Hopefully we will be either the first or the second officially recognized US Chapter (WMF Pennsylvania is pending as well), and hopefully our efforts will benefit WMF Penn as well.

Since you are a member of the Wikipedia:WikiProject University of Pittsburgh, I'd like to invite you to the Teaching with Wikipedia Workshop that will take place at CMU on Aug 15 (this workshop is open to general public, and is a joint imitative of CMU and Pitt). There will be another workshop held at Pitt in the Fall as well. It will cover how to include Wikipedia in one's course ( WP:SUP) and also how to become a Wikipedia:Campus Ambassadors. Pennsylvania has currently only one ambassador (myself) and it would be great if we could recruit at least several more. Ambassadors help course instructors, showing them how Wikipedia works, and interact with students. Many current ambassadors come from the body of students, faculty and university staff; it is a fun adventure, and adds to one resume/CV, to boot :) If it sounds interesting, feel free to ask me any questions, or to come to the workshop. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:33, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

I am trying to revive WikiProject Dance and am contacting all members to see if they are still available. If you are interested in continuing, please let me know so I can keep you on the members list. If not, let me know and I'll move your name to the inactive members. Please respond on the project talkpage within seven days or you name will be labeled inactive. Please don't reply here. You can always rejoin if you forget to respond. Also, if you have any knowledge on how to design pages, please note that. Thank you! ReelAngelGirl Talk to me! Tea? 14:59, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,
