where is the page with the character map of different text symbols?
- I think you might be looking for Wikipedia:How_does_one_edit_a_page. Yes? --Sam
I cut and pasted á into my website but it doesn't work. Do u know why that might be?
LOOK IT DOESNT EVEN WORK HERE!!! Lir 22:08 Oct 18, 2002 (UTC)
- It works fine for me. Look on your keyboard, to the right of your space bar. If there is an "Alt Gr" key, hold that down and press "a". That should give you an á (a with an accent). If not, I don't know what's wrong. Try:
à
- ..maybe. --Sam
Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need any questions answered about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. BTW, nice addition to The State of the Art. Cheers! --maveric149
Hi. I noticed too your fix of my missing ")" on Diziet Sma. Wikipedia should give a particularly warm welcome to eagle-eyed typo-spotters! ;-) -- Tarquin
- Was that me? Oh, might've been. I'm reading Consider Phlebas right now, so might add a bit to that, while we're talking about Banks... —Tzartzam
hello. pipes | are necessary in internal links; a space after the URL will do it in externallinks. And welcome to wikipedia. :-) --KQ
- Yeah — I was just editing that when you did it for me. Thanks! You have a livejournal, don't you? I just added mine to the "wikipedia" interest list... that makes four! — tzartzam
- The wikipedia interest list? Or you added wikipedia on your livejournal interest list? Oh, I see. I wonder who Brandon is....
- Yes, that's me on livejournal. My journal ranges from banal to, uh, slightly less banal. That's where I do all my completely opinionated writing. :-) (Luckily no one else can edit it.) --KQ
Hi - you'll probably see it anyway without me pointing it out here, but I just added a far-too-long ramble about different editions to Talk:Homage to Catalonia - hopefully you'll have a better idea than me of how to sort the article out so it's clear to readers with any edition. It's probably not particularly important, I just get strangely obsessed with these sorts of things. --Camembert
- As I said over there, I'll sort this out when I have time, I think. The changes were made at his request, but I don't think they were published until after his death (1950). -- Tzartzam
just a little confused why you would rather have a see also format like
See also: look this isn't as nice
instead of
SEE ALSO
- Well, it's just a personal thing, I suppose!
- I don't like the capitals in "SEE ALSO" -- I prefer lower case generally.
- I don't like the one word lists, either. I think they should be avoided when possible, although they're ok for external links.

By the way, Lir, I've started using:
Also, I put see also's above any external things, which includes books as well as links, so I sometimes have

Hello:
I noticed you included a link to Mellor's Direct Action book on the Direct Action page. What do you think might be useful there? (I am sitting here with an ancient copy, and I might as well use it.) Eventually, I plan to write something about Mellor, who seems quite an interesting fellow. BTW, thanks for the welcome! Marvinfreeman 13:28 Oct 30, 2002 (UTC)
For books in general, I'd say we should include one or more of the following:
- publishing information
- summary of book
- summary of each chapter
- effect of the book/historical significance; eg. on a particular movement, is the book considered a standard/definitive work?
For examples, see Homage to Catalonia (with chapter summary; needs work, which I'll get round to soon, promise :), No Logo. In fiction, the Iain Banks books have a few articles.
I haven't read it myself, so I can't comment on it specifically. I might take a look though; I'm going to the library tonight. -- Sam
Hi, on album covers: the original thought was that it was okay as fair use, just like book and videotape covers, but it is currently being hashed out on the Wikipedia-l mailing list, so we'll see what the consensus is. Hopefully, we'll be able to do it. Tokerboy 15:07 Nov 5, 2002 (UTC)
- I'd have thought it would be -- and most artists wouldn't have a problem with it (excepting Metallica's lawyers!) -- Sam
Tzartzam, why did you move Subcomandante Marcos to Subcommandante Marcos? In what language does the word have to "m"s? Certainly not in Spanish, which is his native language, and not in English, so far as I know? -- Zoe
Hi Tzartzam.
The Common Agricultural Policy is both lacking of information and very biaised. Since you are currently working in that field, could you please bring it a little bit more of info and mostly bring it more balance ? I can help you maybe, but I think you probably know more. Imho, putting down criticism is fine, but putting only criticism is not.
- I'll have a look at it and put in what I can remember -- Sam
Nice work on Kotoku Shusui... very interesting reading. Graft
Happy Birthday! --mav 23:38 Nov 19, 2002 (UTC)
I was just coming to post that. Happy upcoming birthday. :-) -- Zoe 23:40 Nov 19, 2002 (UTC)
- Ah, no, twas last Sunday :) I thought some of the hawks on recents changes would spot that... Thakns for the thought, both of you! -- Sam
- Ah, sorry, I thought you were saying next Sunday. Hope it was a good one. -- Zoe
- That's alright; it was definately good. --Sam
Greetings Orwell fan. Keep the Aspidistra Flying!
- :D
- And I'll finish my summary at Down and Out in Paris and London too... -- Sam
Sam- on the facsimile of the Freedom cover there is a headline 'let down by Crass'- presumably this is a reference to crass' recent gig at teh Queen Elisabweth Hall- do you have the article? I'd like to read it, esp any replies... cheers quercus robur
- I've sent it to you. -- Sam 22:24 Nov 30, 2002 (UTC)
Thanks alot Sam!! Just arrived in my inbox quercus robur
"as well as some anarchists, who, although they normally agree with his political analysis, consider his aforementioned support of electoral politics to go against their principles." Seems to me that anarchists talk a much better line against voting than they actually do in practice. I would think that voting as strategic does not make one a bad anarchist. In spain, before the rise of Franco the anarchists voted, then next ellection boycoted the vote, resulting in Franco coming to power. Many Anarchists do vote, they just don't like it.- Karl
- Thank you for your welcome! I'm not sure where to respond - my or your talk page. I am not challenging what you wrote, just questioning. Still swishing the idea around a bit - On a simiar note, I would think that one could say that pacifist anarchists would state that violence goes against their principles as anarchists - ie. inherently authoritarian. Is voting and encouraging others to vote sufficiently a non-standard anarchist practice to warrent mentioning? Perhaps so. - Karl
Hi, Tzartzam, thanks for wikifying the new articles on the Belgian municipalities. However, I doubt that the towns constituting these municipalities all deserve an article in their own right. That's why I didn't wikify them in the first place. You probably don't agree. I don't really have a preference. But if there's a need I can wikify them on creation. What do you think?
