User talk:Thiste

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ok that's my page. I'll update and format it right soon, I'll just have to read the policies regarding personal pages beforehand so please if I made a mistake or something don't file me for deletion, thanks. I'm just learning the system for the moment since I'm new. I must seem pretty defensive here but I wrote 1 article until now here and have been filed for deletion 30 minutes after it was posted. So now I'm cautious :).

[edit] Page moves

It's considered polite to not edit articles in a major way which are subject to discussion on VfD. Edits to improve the article are usually considered fine, but sweeping changes like a page move may rise eyebrows. Somebody will surely move the page once the discussion is over if the consensus is to do so. -- Longhair | Talk 04:15, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Amélie Mauresmo

Salut Thiste,

En effet, au temps pour moi ! J'ai dû être influencé par le tableau figurant sous le titre de section et par l'article de la Wikipédia francophone... et je ne devais pas être très réveillé :) Je viens de recorriger l'article. Merci de ta vigilance ! A+ Korg (talk) 13:33, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Age of consent map

LOL! Authority? Maybe the LOUDEST and most annoying. ;) Your map is very good, however the reason there is so much grey on the current map is due to the the Wikipedia policy WP:V that all information must be verifiable. The previous version of the map had a lot less grey areas as it was based on the now defunct (and wrong) ageofconsent.com site. Other sites like avert.org have a more up to date listing BUT we here are ruled by the verify policy and so the map is only updated as the information comes in. That information is on the subpages;

Main page Subpages: Africa Asia Australia and Pacific Region Europe North America South America

The map is a little behind the current subpages as we like to wait a bit for the info to be disputed and so on. Sorry you did all that work already! (I just added a note to the file's page saying similar) Cheers --Monotonehell 05:31, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I forgot to add - would you consider greying out the unverified info and resubmitting your map? The work you've put into the states of US and Australia is well worth it. --Monotonehell 05:42, 10 May 2006 (UTC)


Well the thing is I don't think it's very satisfying that the map is so empty, so grey... :) Look what I found, a website promoting gay rights in Africa, that lists all african countries and their laws on age of consent & homosexuality. It's not complete but pretty good nonetheless. They cite the articles from each country's penal code. I hope this source is good enough to be included in the age of consent article & thus in the map ?
Go there : http://www.mask.org.za/index.php?page=africabycountry
I'll try to find other sources so we can soon have a more satisfying & complete article & map. That would be cool Thiste 14:26, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
[UPDATE] : I just found the interpol website, didn't see it was already on the wikipedia article. What makes the data over there not reliable ?
Continuing the search. Thiste 14:39, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
[UPDATE2] : found this : http://www.ilga.info/Information/Legal_survey/ilga_world_legal_survey%20introduction.htm
It's already cited as reference on the wikipedia article on Homosexuality_laws_of_the_world. Seems to have some info that interests us in it. Thiste 15:27, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
