[edit] No problem

You got it right. Don't worry about it. The Ungovernable Force 22:52, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your comments on anarchism

Thanks for your comments on the talk:anarchism page. They were very nicely and civilly put. However you stated that anarchism is communism.

anarchism is anarchism and communism is communism. Similarly stars are stars and planets are planets. Animals are animals and plants are plants, (despite the modern geneticists attempts at losing this dictincion.)

There is good and bad, despite the trend to pretend that this dictinction does not exist. It does.

Love is not hate. War is not peace. Negative liberty means nothing and positive discrimination even less. I'll admit that I don't understand newspeak and will not make any attempt at trying to, as I find it injurious to thought. (I like thought.)

Anarchism is anarchism. Communism is communism. Freedom is freedom. Now if you said anarchism is freedom, that I would agree with, as in an anarchic state there would be freedom.

Hope you didn't take offense at what I just said here. What I just said here is what I just said here. Nothing more or less. peace, Shannonduck talk 16:48, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Awesome!

You're a firebreather? Cool. The Ungovernable Force 00:00, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for mediation

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Template:Anarchism, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible.

The above request has been filed by User:Zadanian, who seems to be having some difficulty with the filing requirements. The Mediation Committee requires all parties to be notified, and since he did not do so on filing the request, I'm notifying you on behalf of the Mediation Committee in my capacity as chairman.

[edit] Request for Mediation

A Request for Mediation to which you are a party was not accepted and has been delisted. You can find more information on the mediation subpage, Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Template:Anarchism.

[edit] Martin Emond merge

As I say on the talk page - the merge isn't controversial and should be done as soon as possible I just quibble with the direction (for the reasons listed). If there are no good arguements why the second entry should be the one to be merged into then I'd suggest merging it into the original article. {Emperor 03:00, 10 August 2006 (UTC))

[edit] err?

To do list: List of inedible foods. Is it just me, or is that a contradiction. What exactly qualifies as inedible food, McDonalds? Ungovernable ForceThe Wiki Kitchen! 04:57, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I get it. Ungovernable ForceThe Wiki Kitchen! 05:16, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mithraism

Hey Aelfinn,

Thanks for editing the Mithraism page. But a lot of your edits are really to do with Christianity, rather than Mithras, and I'm not sure that they should be in the Mithraism article. Would it cause you deep pain if I redited your comments with this in mind? Roger Pearse 13:55, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Many thanks for your kind message! I'll try to tread softly, and keep what I can. Feel free to alter it if you feel I missed something important. Roger Pearse 15:50, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pittsburgh rare

Thansk for contributing Pittsburgh rare. However it ends mid-sentence. Is there something more to say or should we delete "Place the steak on a grate so that..."? Cheers, -Will Beback 21:57, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

There's now a question about the oven temperature required to achieve this degree of doneness. 2300 F may be too incredibe. Your participation would be appreciated.-Will Beback 11:40, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hoover (seal)

I could see this page up for deletion for notability or citation, but nonsense? Jeesh. Somebody's a bit triggerhappy. Aelffin 19:52, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I've expanded and sourced the article since your comment. Removing speedy deletion was a sound decision. Surely a talking seal with an obituary in The Boston Globe is notable. Right? Mgm|(talk) 10:06, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brine pools

I don't know if you're a veteran user or a newbie, but I found this in your contributions.

03:13, November 17, 2006 (hist) (diff) Brine Pool (Redirecting to Brine pools)

Please remember that titles should be singular whenever possible (Wikipedia:Naming conventions), so this article (and all the related links) should've been pointed to brine pool rather than brine pools. - Mgm|(talk) 11:08, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] hi

hi nshan13 is cool

[edit] Article for Deletion Revolutionary Anarchist Bowling League

You have contributed as an editor to the article above. It is being considered for deletion. You can comment on this here.

Also it would be helpful if someone could provide a cite to the Minneapolis Star Tribune or other major media cite for the 1988 "bowling ball" incident discussed in the article.Edivorce 03:55, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Apology

I made comments RABL and L&R that users should not place template tags on article without discussing their reasons. I have found that users seeking deletion often place such tags to make an article appear "troubled." When I looked at the history I found that you placed the tag. Based on your comments this can only be seen as seeking honest assistance in improving the article. I should have looked at the history first. Sorry. Edivorce 04:27, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Heh.

The comment you posted here made me laugh. 31337 03:50, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mon Calamari.

I never said that Omarion101's name was self-promotion for a celebrity: it's actually possible impersonation of a celebrity. As for my own name, I never said on my user page that it was from Star Wars, I said that it was from a fictional planet. I am not promoting squid, food, or Star Wars with my user name. I also think that "Acalamari" sounds good as a name. Acalamari 03:50, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What?

I simply did what HignInBC did. It was not vandalism. If HighInBc had not removed it several times first, then I wouldn't have removed it at all. Acalamari 17:40, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I will leave a message for HighInBC as well. If it were a personal attack, then you could certainly remove it. But if you read it, you will see that the user did not attack User:George Carlin. Aelffin 17:43, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citing sources for transhumanist articles at risk of deletion

Hello Aelffin, could you please help us in finding independent sources for the subject of the following articles to avoid deletion:

  1. Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies
  2. George Dvorsky and Betterhumans
  3. James Hughes

[edit] British English

Hmmm..I can't understand why Jack Lumber has labelled this... "Although the language as spoken in Britain has also gradually changed over the centuries, British English still remains closest to the 'original' dialect that the emigrees themselves spoke before they left Britain". ...as a false claim. I am a Brit, and I speak fairly standard working-class 'British English' - not the sanitised 'BBC' version that you are used to hearing in our exported media. If you could hear me, your 'American ear' would think that I sounded like something that had just stepped-off the ship from Bristol in the 1700s :-) I'll leave it up to the two of you... ChrisRed 08:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Fairy Nuff. I think that you are right about Northumbria, I would also include the working-class Devon/Cornwall and Black Country/Birmingham accents in a list of dialects that have changed the least since colonial days. I thinks it's incorrect to judge 'British English' by using 'BBC' English as a datum, as very few of us actually talk like that, unless we do our usual trick of shifting into 'neutral' English to be understood when talking to foreigners. This was always the accent of the educated and the affluent, whereas most settlers were generally 'working-class misfits', agricultural workers, or even (especially Australia) members of the underclass who were transported against their will. Perhaps as a limey I am too close to see the real picture, and you are better placed with your objective 'American Ear' :-)

All the best, and toodle-pip from jolly old blighty. ChrisRed 15:19, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
