Hi there -- I created WikiLove. Can I withdraw some WikiMoney from your account now? :-) --Eloquence 03:38 May 11, 2003 (UTC)
I had been loathe to lobby on my own account about my page on the French Wikipedia, but I wanted to respond to your comment ("I think Daniel will be welcome, provided he proves one or two of his books have not been published at his account, plus one or two articles in serious and famous books or other publications. Articles on his grand father will not be welcome I guess.") on Talk:Daniel C. Boyer to set some things straight:
1. My book The Octopus Frets: political poems was self-published; my book The Tailgating Spinster was published by Fiji Island Mermaid Press.
2. My article Are You Crazy?: Mental Illness and Whiteness was published in the journal Race Traitor</i> (No. 9, Summer 1998); this article was reprinted in the book Surrealist Subversions: Rants, Writings & Images by the Surrealist Movement in the United States (you can see its listing on Amazon.com), along with my new article "Seattle 1999: Just the Beginning" and my drawing "The Breakfast Club." I had two articles published in The Salvador Dali Collectors Magazine ("Vinyl Dali," (Vol.5, No.1) and "Dali's Foray into New Medium was 'Smokin" (Vol.6, No.1). My response to an inquiry was published in Groupe de Paris du Mouvement Surréaliste, "Ecoutons Voir: Réponses à l'enquête sur le rêve, le langage et l'image" (supplement to S.U.RR No.4) (this was one of my few things published in the French language), and my response to an inquiry was published in New York Arts Magazine (an internationally-distributed art magazine). In terms of drawings or illustrations my work has appeared in Psycho magazine, The Improper Bostonian, New York Nights, and four of my drawings appeared in Snow Monkey magazine (Vol.3, Issue 2).
3. The irony of the comment about my grandfather is that he was much more well-known than I am; it is difficult to go into any library (at least here in the United States) which does not have one of his books in it. Which would certainly not be true of me.

Yes, the deletion log is (presently) just a page, so you can take all the text out of the old deletion log and paste it into the new one if you like. (The pages are protected so only sysops can edit them.) The custom here on en.wiki seems to be to move everything out of the deletion log into an archive page each month; if anyone does make an edit, the pre-edit version is saved in the history, so also you could just clear the page. It doesn't really matter from a technical point of view. --Brion 02:13 21 May 2003 (UTC)
That's a good start at local food, Anthere. :-) I tweaked it some; I hope it doesn't appear to advocate local food, but I do think it's a principle of sustainability and I don't know how to say that NPOV. People interested in sustainability are interested in local food. ... Also, should we mention that some people buy local food as part of a bartering system, intending to lower the amount of money they need? I have several friends who do that--some of them poor by choice, others not. Koyaanis Qatsi
Bonjour Anthere!
Est-ce que Tu as lu Talk:List of French Monarchs? (and that's my French capability for the moment -- a hard day, and my speech is not nearly as good as my reading comprehension!) Triton has quoted you! You should feel honored! une autre femme
How are you these days? I've discovered roots music lately and am in heaven, listening to all these old 33s, 45s, and 78s that people have digitized. Koyaanis Qatsi
I can hardly believe it -- but could it be that you are not familiar with the tilde trick for signing (~~~ for signature without timestamp, ~~~~ for signature with timestamp)? Or are you just lazy? :) --Eloquence 00:24 2 Jun 2003 (UTC)
I've uploaded a flower for you at media:Lavender02.jpg. Enjoy :). WikiLove, MB 14:51 3 Jun 2003 (UTC)
I'm fine, thanks. Working on the film still a bit, finishing it up. Watching some films and slowly getting back into reading. :-) Koyaanis Qatsi 20:16 3 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Please, take it easy on the edit wars. These articles are not worth getting in such a huge fuss over. Maybe take a break from Wikipedia for a while... come back to it later when you're not so angry. -- Wapcaplet 00:02 5 Jun 2003 (UTC)
I am not going to take any sides in this... I think you're both being kind of stubborn. I just think if you both take a break you will feel better when you come back to it later on, maybe then we can discuss it rationally. -- Wapcaplet 00:11 5 Jun 2003 (UTC)
I'm not sure I'm cool-headed enough to do any edits on this right now, either :) I know RK's not cooperating, but continual revert-wars are just going to make the situation worse. Maybe if you leave it alone for a while, he'll let it rest too. Seriously! Take a break! Go watch TV or read a book or something. Wikipedia is not everything, and the world's not gonna end if the articles on Gaia theories aren't totally accurate. For your own happiness and sanity, please :) -- Wapcaplet 00:22 5 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Regarding edit wars: Post to Wikipedia:Current disputes over articles or the Wikipedia:Village pump. MB 01:18 5 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Regarding protection of pages, try wikipedia talk:protected page (or the village pump or the page of sympathetic sysops). Unfortunately, by the time I saw the page, it was already a mess of reverts and moves, which didn't help... Martin
I think it's technically a misspelling in this case (although of course you're right about the deity). I took a look at the edit history for Gaia hypothesis and noticed that the first entry was where The Epopt moved the article, with the comment "oops! misspelled it". Took a look in Google for '"Gaia hypothesis" Lovelock' and '"Gaea hypothesis" Lovelock', found 4460 hits for the former and only 18 for the latter (one of which is Wikipedia) so I assume this is the spelling Lovelock himself used in his writing. Apparently the Gaea spelling had just been propagated from the original typo. - Hephaestos 17:01 5 Jun 2003 (UTC)
I accidentally removed a part of your contributions to Knowledge, and I also at first misunderstood some of what you wrote. You may have noticed the recent flurry of editing by me on that article. However, I want you to know that I put back what I mistakenly took out. RK 02:11 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Any chance you could start using the tilde trick to sign you messages? In case you don't know, ~~~ signs like this MB, and ~~~~ signs like this MB 21:22 6 Jun 2003 (UTC). If you want your sig to be ant, you can change that in you Preferences. It's just that if someone wants to respond to you here, or look at your user page, this make things much easier. Thanks. MB 21:22 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Hi Ant- thanks for the suggestion re. Organic gardening... Sounds agood idea to create a page summarising the subject of 'organic gardening' linked to a kind of 'contents page' for an encylopedia within an encyclopedia on the subject of organic gardening. Could we perhaps merge the list of organic gardening and farming topics pages, although they are different subjects in many ways there is alot of cross-over, and it would make more sense to have a one page List of topics relating to organic gardening and farming rather than 2 seperate lists diverging or replicating the same work. What do you think? quercus robur 11:35 8 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Merci, Anthère de ta confiance à propos du libéralisme et l'affaire Faré.
D'abord sur la question du nom du user/utilisateur Fare/Faré, j'ai bien l'impression que toutes ces variations ce concernent de la même personne, mais je n'y attache pas de grande importance. Disons que c'est plutôt une question de l'accentophobie qui est si bien rependu parmis les anglophones.
Au niveau de l'entourloupe (=troll??), ça prendrait de demander si c'est quelque chose qui arrive souvent. Encore, il ne faut pas y attacher trop d'importance. Quand ça mène à un lien vide, ça devrait servir d'une façon temporaire ou d'en faire un "redirect" sur l'article anglaise ou d'écrire un "stub" qui donnerait plusieurs liens.
À mon avis il faut se demander quand un problème est vraiment secondaire, pour voir s'il'y a des moyens faciles pour le résoudre. Comme ça on peut se dévouer au vrai problème.
Mon Grand dictionaire Anglais-Français Larousse nous donne les traductions directes liberalism=libéralisme et libertarianism=doctrine libertaire ou même "convictions libertaires", dont ce dernier est toujours au pluriel. J'ai l'impression que le mot "libertarianisme" n'existe pas dans le bon français, ou au moins il ne parait pas dans mon Petit Robert.
Je ne dirais pas que liberalism et libéralisme sont exactement des faux amis, mais ça serait aussi inexacte de dire qu'ils sont parfaitement exacte, l'une à l'autre. La version anglaise et la version française ont chacunes leures propres evolutions. Pour l'anglais on a l'impression que le libéralisme d'aujoud'hui est compris comme le contraire de ce qu'il était anciennement. Je comprends bien la volonté des "libertarians" de se distingués de ce mélanges. L'article actuel liberalism anglais devrait se co-ordonner avec . Pour les deux, ils devraient avoir l'objectif de démèler tous les sens de ce mot assez confus.
J'ajoute un peu sur "ilk". Tu a suggéré la traduction "clique", mais ça fonctionne pas. Une clique comprend une groupe de personnes qui travaillent ensembles pour arriver à quoi que soit leur but commun. Les gens ou les choses du même "ilk" n'ont pas besoin d'avoir d'associations personelles ensemble. Je suggererais plutôt ";type" pour traduction, comme dans "Ce gars est un drôle de type." ☮ Eclecticology 19:48 8 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Let's start an ilk, Anthere. :-) Anyway, here's a link on biopiracy you may find interesting. Koyaanis Qatsi 22:52 9 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Je viens de regarder le home page de Faré. C'est avec plaisir que je peux bel et bien annoncer qu'il est un des vôtres en 19ème de Paris.
Les liens qu'il donne pour le "libertarianisme" sont aussi bien de la France que du Québec. Il me semble que le mot en français est un anglicisme moderne. Peut-être que l'Académie française n'est pas encore prête pour ce mot, mais ça serait une bonne idée de l'accepter dans le même sens que le mot anglais libertarianism, mais certainement pas comme traduction de l'anglais liberalism.
L'intolérence est tres spéciale comme problème. Il est presque impossible de leur faire controller leurs gueules sans qu'ils commencent à nous accuser de prendre une position complètement contraire à nos croyances. En anglais on a l'expression, "With friends like these, who needs enemies?"
J'hésite naturellement de me mêler dans le débat. De préférence ça prendrait quelqu'un de plus expérimenté que mois dans les subtilités de l'économie politique, mais je comprend que ces gens n'auront pas l'esprit de se combattre avec ceux qui argumentent d'une façon plus libertine que libérale.
Santé! ☮ Eclecticology 20:34 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)
I read through the biopiracy page with interest. It seems to be mostly your work.
It appears to me to have a rather novel POV and I was thinking of adding some background, but my background is mainly USA so I'm hesitant to change much, especially if it's well researched. Wondering what your opinion is and what level of ownership you feel of the page. Kat 20:30 11 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Hi Martin
Do you think Open Campaign is more acceptable that way ?
I added some notes wrt world production at Talk:Agriculture. Kat 15:43 12 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Well, User:Jimfbleak split the ag page the other day, moving much material to USA_Agriculture. I think it's a fine thing to make the scope and perspective of the project more global.
I have maintained for some years now that agriculture is among the most geographically relative of all topics. The growing techniques that work for us will not work on farms a few dozen miles from us where the soil and topography is different. As I travel throughout North America I see farming operations that are quite different than ours even though the same crops and livestock are grown. So having a balanced North American perspective is hard, and having a balanced global perspective is all the more difficult.
Anyway, I have no experience of farms in Europe or the UK, much less Africa or Asia. I correspond with some people in Austraila and New Zeland so I have at least some idea for those places. So, I cannot write what I do not know and hope that you and others who are familiar with these places will fill in the gaps.

Anthere, Left a note for you at Talk:Monoculture Kat 17:29 13 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Why do you think you were "rejected" for Adminship on en.wiki? You were already, seconded, thirded, 4th, 5th and 6th before you finally accepted. It is only a technical matter and limited developer resources why your account hasn't been switched to "sysop" here yet. Heck since you stated your request as a side statement inside a longer statement to me there is a good chance a developer didn't ever notice what you said. I will make things clear on our Admin request page. You are a great Wikipedian and will make a great Admin too. :) --mav
Everyone, a little WikiLove, please! We're all here to make Wikipedia a better resource, remember. --Brion 01:57 29 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Henceforth, until you hear from me otherwise, you may sign Pizza Puzzle alongside your name in any argument u might have with RK. Pizza Puzzle
I strongly recommend that the both of you take a break for a few days, at least from the pages that you're conflicting over. Regardless of who's "right", you're not going to get anything useful done with tempers and rhetoric running high. Wikipedia will still be here when you return. --Brion 03:03 29 Jun 2003 (UTC)
That's a damselfly, not a dragonfly, but it's a great picture anyway. :-) Thanks for posting them. Koyaanis Qatsi 03:14 29 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Too many bugs. Have another flower. ;)
Hephaestos
You've got mail. :-) Koyaanis Qatsi 04:06 29 Jun 2003 (UTC)
By all means. I release all my pictures into the public domain, so it's not a problem. :-) Koyaanis Qatsi
Keep your chin up, Anthere, it doesn't seem as if RK has won any friends at all. Go ahead and edit away at the Gaia articles if you see that something needs to be done, I'll support you. --Dante Alighieri 03:57 30 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Keep your chin up: good advice. :-) On another note, what kind of camera did you say you have? I think I mentioned that I'm using a Nikon FM2 but get the focus a bit wrong once or twice a roll. Also, it's expensive after awhile. I'd like a good digital camera, and from the pics you're uploading, I'd say yours qualifies. Koyaanis Qatsi 06:20 30 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Martin was named sysop only with the suggestion of Ed. Not with the numerous supports offered to current new admin. Danino has questioned Martin right to be a sysop. Martin thus commented Danino words by
histories or moving page titles, I would like to announce here that I will no longer take any other sysop-restricted actions, until further notice. I hope you can all trust me to keep my word on this matter.
I consider that by "further notice" is meant being backed up by more people than Ed. Which is why I put him on the list for being a sysop. How else can people support him being a sysop than here ? Or, is there a page where sysops whose status is questionned can be supported ? Removing him just prevent people from supporting his current status.User:anthere
Or were could this be publicly listed ?
I think this is real real real bad.
I didn't intend to send you a metaphor; I just thought it was a nice picture. I hope you don't feel that way for long. :-) Koyaanis Qatsi 06:06 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)
