[edit] Catalan mythology
I've never actually been involved in any mythological articles, and I don't remember why I created the redirect. I suspect that I typed "Catalan mythology" into the search box, discovered that it didn't exist, and created a redirect to the existing Catalan myths and legends article, to help people find the existing article. I would have no objection to you moving Catalan myths and legends to Catalan mythology; I don't know anything about how those articles are usually named. Good luck! -- Creidieki 22:18, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding your post on the Falun Gong Talk Page
Friend, I read you post on the Falun Gong talk page. The page was locked after a great deal of vandalism and there is a lot of such material and non-facutal stuff inside. I request your help in editing the article. And also with the page : Falun Gong Teachings
You may also get to better understand the cultivation system of Falun Dafa from the website www.falundafa.org Thanks. Dilip rajeev 11:11, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] On Swastika
I understand that Hitler appropriated the ancient Symbol for his use.. You may aprreciate my edit better if you see the last version:"The Falun emblem is the symbol of the Falun Gong. According to Li “this Falun emblem is the miniature of the universe.” The central character is the Chinese 卍, wàn. Unfortunately, the similarity to the Nazi Hakenkreuz provokes relapse in schizophrenics, who perceive spurious connections." :)
The Swastika is an ancient symbol that appears in many traditions from the mayan, the mesopotamian, The Greek to the The indus Valley Civilization ( which according to the theories of present day anthropology was wiped out in the "Aryan" Invasion ):
Infact a lot of what the texts on anthropolgy tell is far from accurate. We have enough evidence to completely re-write the books on anthropolgy. The swastika is not an invention of any religion or culture. Gautama Buddha didnt take the Symbol from Hinduism. This is because they consider the Dharma to be some form of speculative philosophy and theory taken from old texts... The ancient scriptures of vedic India solemnly affirm that the Dharma is not specualtve Philosophy. The Buddhist Scriptures tell us:
" The Dhamma is not a speculative philosophy, but is the Universal Law found through enlightenment and is preached precisely. "
I'd be glad if you could contribute to the article... Falun Dafa is an ancient cultivation practice ( direct translation of the Chinese Term Xiu Lian ), a Great Way (Dafa) of the Buddha School ( pls dont confuse with the relgion of Buddhism). You may get to understand the cultivation system of Falun Dafa from the page www.falundafa.org . Thank you.

[edit] Berties Oratory Skills
Hi Elevenscout, I was the author of the sentence that you removed as vandalism. I have added my response to Talk:Bertie Ahern, can you take a look and let me know if you can change your mind. -- Rye1967 00:40, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hi
Hi there...not sure if this was you logged out... :-) --HappyCamper 20:06, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
- Is that right? Are all those IPs vandalism edits then in the page history? --HappyCamper 20:14, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
-
- Hmm...well, it sure looks like it. I'm going to semi-protect the page. It seems to be the best solution, given that the vandalism is chronic. Cheers! --HappyCamper 20:18, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

- No problem. Consider yourself armed with an admin on your side :-) I'll do my best to make sure these accounts act in accordance with Wikipedia's established policies and best practises. After all, we are here because we want to write a good encyclopedia! Vandalism edits are contrary to that cause. Just come by and leave a message whenever you feel like it, and I'll take the time to look into things for you. See you around! --HappyCamper 20:24, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Laozi
You seem to have missed the evidence that I gave; I listed a number of books on philosophy, Asian philosophy, and Chinese philosophy (in order of specificity); the spelling used was overwhelmingly "Laozi".
Ah, I've just found my comment in the Talk page archive:
- A quick and unscientific survey of fairly recent reference books to hand, plus some Web-based texts:
- Laozi
- Companion Encyclopedia of Asian Philosophy (edd Carr & Mahalingam)
- A Companion to World Philosophies (edd Deutsch & Bontekoe)
- A Companion to the Philosophers (ed. Arrington)
- Eastern Philosophy: Key readings (ed. Leaman)
- Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
- Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy
- Chad Hansen's Philosophy Pages
- Lao-zi
- One Hundred Philosophers (Peter J. King}
"Lao Zi" doesn't appear anywhere, and "Laozi" is the clear front runner. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 13:33, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
- You say: "It seems to me that none of the references you give are sources specifically devoted to him - only "encyclopedias of philosophy" and the like". True — but Wikipedia is also not a specialised work, but a general encyclopædia, so these references are particularly relevant. As I said in my original comment (from which the figures above are taken), there's no single answer to the question "which transliteration is more common?", as different transliterations will be common in different fields. We need to decide which field is most appropriate for our purposes.
- Note that "reliability" doesn't really come into it; the various transliterations are equally correct — they're all attempt to capture in the Roman alphabet the sound of the Chinese by applying a set of conventions, and they're all bound to fail (for example, in so far as there isn't a single Chinese pronunciation across time and geography). --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 11:05, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

- Thanks for your message; I'm still unclear, though, why you think that specialised works are more likely to use the more generally-used and popular transliteration than general, more popular works. As things stand, we're in line with the two main on-line philosophy encyclopædias and most of the on-line Chinese-philosophy sites, as well as some – at least – of the printed translations and other specialised texts (e.g. The Classic of the Way and Virtue: A New Translation of the "Tao-te Ching" of Laozi as Interpreted by Wang Bi transl. Richard John Lynn [Columbia University Press; ISBN 0231105819] and The Daodejing of Laozi transl. Philip J. Ivanhoe [Hackett; ISBN 0872207013]). --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 10:04, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, can you explain this this edit of yours to the abovenamed article? You have not entitled us to an edit summary, unlike my edit. Please acknowledge this message. Thanks and regards, --Nearly Headless Nick 12:51, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Genpei War
I'd like to go ahead and expand the Genpei War article, based on inspiration from the entire sections present in the French version that were absent in the English version. Are you back from your two-week hiatus? I don't want to step in and do too much before you've had a chance to go in and do what you wanted to... LordAmeth 00:36, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lafcadio Hearn
Regarding this edit to the Lafcadio Hearn article: Although Lafcadio Hearn is largely forgotten in the West, he is still remember and respected by the Japanese for his books collecting Japanese legends and ghost tales. Therefore I am restoring the phrase "to the Japanese" to the intro of the article. BlankVerse 10:26, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
