Thanks extremely for the pointer to Formal Consensus. Hadn't seen it before, and am finding it quite interesting. -- April
I don't know who to thank about the improved diff, but I find it absolutely fantabulous. I don't know how I ever lived without it. Thank you kindly. DanKeshet
- You can thank me a little bit :-) and Geoffrey T. Dairiki <[email protected]> a lot. He wrote difflib.php for use in the excellent phpwiki, and I pulled it into our script. AxelBoldt
Which version of anarchism did you revert to? --Ed Poor
Look-I am not a libertarian socialist. I disagree with the ideals stated in the very first paragraph of libertarian socialism. I do not oppose all forms of government. I am an anarchist-we only oppose selected forms of government like totalitarian police states.
I am not trying to force my views on people. But Libertarian Socialists have edited the anarchism page and much of it is cut and pasted from the libertarian socialist page!!!!!!! These philosophies are similar and allied-but they are NOT identical --Lir
I DONT CARE IF YOU ALREADY DECIDED THAT ANARCHISM WAS LIBERTARIAN SOCIALISM. IT IS NOT. IT IS NOT. IT IS NOT. THERE IS A LINK FROM ANARCHISM TO LIBERTARIAN SOCIALISM. THAT WILL SUFFICE. NOW DO YOU HAVE OTHER PROBLEMS OR ARE YOU JUST INTERESTING IN BRAINWASHING WITH PROPAGANDA? --Lir
Hey, I'm open to discussing your proposal about consolidating mythology articles, but I chose not to for some specific reasons. A couple people have suggested the same, but so far this hasn't blossomed into any actual discussion, so I'm continuing. Essentially, most or all of these articles that are one sentence stubs now can and should be longer. Hopefully, I will be able to find enough information to do lengthen them. In the meantime, I have been unable to come up with any alternate system of describing entire mythological systems that is as easy to use and update.
Taking Egyptian mythology as an example, some gods like Osiris and Anubis definitely deserve and require a separate article. The relatively minor gods like Saa perhaps don't, but I'm not sure how to go about this. Putting the minor gods' information on Egyptian mythology could be misleading because it would seem (at first glance) like they were more important than Osiris or Anubis. Putting them on a separate page would eliminate that, but then when/if I start putting their names in hieroglyphics and/or pictures of carvings or paintings of them, that page will start to get very long and cumbersome to use. This is especially true if Saa eventually turns into a full article, and the article needs to be created, moved, along with alternate spelling redirects, and the images moved too. Probably wouldn't be a huge deal, but since Wikipedia is not paper, I think having a separate (even a stub) article on each idea makes more sense. I know stubs are bad things, but I think that needs to be qualified with stubs are bad things if and only if they are devoid of information or the information there can be presented more effectively consolidated. The mere fact of an article being short doesn't make it useless.
Anyway, tell me what you think (if so, we may want to move this to Talk:Mythology)Tokerboy 19:37 Oct 3, 2002 (UTC)
- You made a good point Dan, and I think the best solution is something akin to Greek mythology, Norse mythology, Celtic mythology for all the others. The actual article includes an overview of the whole shebang, with a link to another article called something along the lines of "Articles on Greek Mythological Concepts" or something to that effect. I'm not sure if I feel particularly qualified to write an overview for all of them (especially Egyptian mythology, as per my rant on the talk page) but I can try and cobble a little something together. Does that sound good? Tokerboy 20:12 Oct 3, 2002 (UTC)
Hello Dan, I answered you on my talk page. --Elian
Thanks for all the copy editing on the LPF page. I try to write English the best I can, but I feel much relieved that people like you help me out. User:Erik Zachte
