[edit] Backmasking

Sure, I'd help you out with the backmasking.

Just give me a list of songs you'd like me to do, and I'll see what I can get done. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bearingbreaker92 (talk • contribs).

I'll take a look at it tomorrow, (wensday). Also I dont have alot of these songs on here, and "limewiring" them would not be the best thing to do. Bearingbreaker92 | Talk 01:21, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Just my opinion, but I think the backwards and forwards should be separated. They could be put nicely into the chart, and would make it a lil easier on the listening end. Bearingbreaker92 | Talk 14:17, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

An example of two I have just uploaded Image:Satan Spawn, The Caco-Daemon Backwards.ogg Image:Satan Spawn, The Caco-Daemon Forwards.ogg, I dont think people would want to sit through a minute of that just trying to hear both messages. So that is why I think they should be split up into two. Bearingbreaker92 | Talk 14:39, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Go for it!

I've replied to your latest message, on my talk page. The Transhumanist   04:59, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Milner

Regarding this edit[1] and edit summary;

There is nothing in the article to indicate that this site was used in such a manner. A quick search of the web returns a bunch of blog mentions of Milner, mostly his own, and nothing that would give him such credence. If the lone Wall Street Journal mention is about this, then the article needs to be reworded (and the WSJ referenced) to reflect that. CovenantD 22:46, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Prop 209, I-200, and MCRI

I see you that you are interested in editing articles about reverse discrimination or race preferences. You have probably heard of Proposition 209, Initiative 200, and the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative. I've just created the article on I-200, as well as a template:initiatives

The template connects the three state initiatives together, since they added nearly identical language to their respective state constitutions. I've put the template on the three pages. However, I think the template looks pretty crappy right now, so I was wondering if you would be interested in helping me with it. Maybe it could be expanded to include links to, for example, Ward Connerly.

Thanks,

Sounds good. So we should decide which categories to include. One cateogory would be "state initiatives," naturally. Another would be "Supreme Court cases," and would include Brown v. Board, Bakke, Gratz, and Grutter. Another could be "legislation," including the 14th amendment and the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

A problem would be deciding what to call the template. More precisely, we're talking about "discrimination or preferences on the basis of race or sex." More colloquially, we're talking about "affirmative action." But the problem with using the term affirmative action is that it was once used to mean plain nondiscrimination, as with JFK's Executive Order, "The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin." Of course, now it usually means preferential treatment. So the term affirmative action is imprecise for its vagueness: it could either mean equal treatment or preferential treatment. I think we should go for precision over conciseness, and call the template something like "race and gender preferences." --JianLi 13:27, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Looks good. But should I really be in that template? I'm certainly not among the three most notable/important people. --JianLi 19:35, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, it's live at template:AAUS. For Supreme Court decisions, I cut it down to the four most important ones, because it was just too cluttered. Maybe we can start a article listing AA cases, then link the template to the article, so that we can be inclusive without cluttering the template. The list can be cut out of and then linked from the existing list at Affirmative action in the United States. I reordered federal legislation chronically. And I took my own name out of the "people" as creating a link to myself in a template doesn't seem NPOV, and because of my own lack of notability. --JianLi 23:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey, have you used AWB on the template yet? Thanks, --JianLi 03:09, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Haha, of course not. That doesn't even make sense (how can you research AA in China?). It's just a friend of mine from Harvard who's playing a joke on me. You should revert that IP on sight. --JianLi 04:52, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Backmasking

FYI, I've got a family member in the hospital right now, so any edits or comments that I make will be done as I have time and will probably be rather short in nature. If I seem abrupt or don't explain myself well, please assume good faith, be patient, and trust that I do have the good of the article in mind. CovenantD 21:18, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: sigContract

It makes sense that wikiEd would break compatibility with sigContract. I have placed a note to that effect ont he sigContract page. Happy editing! -- Where 22:13, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi and Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for commenting on my changes to your "List of backmasked messages" site.

I find a lot of backwards messages from many sources including Backmask Online. As of right now, I can't access Backmask Online (www.backmaskonline.com); either the site closed down or it isn't working. I just added a mention of Filter's "The 4th", and made sure I added a citation stating where the information I put in came from. I hope I did it right...

Thanks again, and take care.

[edit] Wikipedia talk:Welcoming committee#Reorganisation

Good evening (GMT time); hope you're well! Concerning our recent edits to WP:WC - particularly the welcome templates section, I've opened up a request for input from our fellow Wikipedians. Hopefully I can look forward to your input which is always useful. The section is linked in the headline above.

Kind regards,

[edit] School site

Yep you're right it has an info box. Missing .... history (the recent scandal seems a bit oversized ... will it always be notable?) Missing pictures

Hope this helps. Do put a request back on the assessments list if you want it reassessed when improved.

[edit] Conard High School Assessment

Fixed the infobox bit. Sorry for the confusion. We are trying to get used to a new template which defaults to lacking infobox. Thanks for contributing! Adam McCormick 19:40, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:ENC

Yeah, thanks! I'm not a huge fan of the page, but I think that if it's gonna get used, we might as well not treat the viewers liked six-year-olds. Just my thoughts. I'm very glad you approve my fnord-ism... I always get a kick out of randomly quoting songs and such. Have some happy edits! Matt Yeager ♫ (Talk?) 23:35, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stay on the talkpage

Stay on the Backmasting page, please. I have addressed my concerns. Ronbo76 00:25, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] World's Smallest Political Quiz

Cool stuff you added. I need to contact the people at the Advocates to let them know. Liberty4u 13:05, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
