[edit] Meetup

Everyone -- I hope to be able to plan the next SF meetup soon... -- phoebe/(talk) 21:20, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Resource Exchange help desk

Hey. New year, new start? Well, I recently added a navigation box to the Resource Exchange. One of the features is a help desk, where I'd like to put a couple names of people willing to answer questions about searching for resources. Since you already described yourself as someone willing to help in the 'Direct contact' section, I thought you might be interested. What do you think? Key (talk) 00:02, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Happy newyear for you too. Key (talk) 00:13, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Documentation links

Added some documentation links at User talk:Phoebe/book.

The project namespace has a lot of text, but in some ways isn't comprehensive. I guess there's entire volumes to be said about wikipedia. --Kim Bruning (talk) 06:44, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Library, Archives, and Web 2.0 Research Guide Template

Consider giving your opinion on the research guide template.Shannon bohle (talk) 06:35, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

done. -- phoebe/(talk) 20:27, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jury E-List Address

Hi Phoebe,

I'm afraid that I managed to lose that email address for the Wikimania Jury list. Would you be able to give it to me again? Thanks! Lankiveil (complaints | disco) 12:50, 3 February 2008 (UTC).

sent! It was helpful, thanks. :) -- phoebe/(talk) 20:27, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] my name is denis, and I will be your guide...

[edit] Request to delete List of songs featured in Dance Praise

I have included a third party source, and strive to include more. I have also redesigned the tables, removing black backgrounds. I ask you to reconsider your vote. Thank you. Alex Perrier (talk) 02:18, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] i feel i owe you an explanation...

...but first, an apology. I wrote the article on TVG, Turpis Vomica Gland, and as you suspected, it was a hoax. However, i wrote it with the intention of playing a prank on a friend, please believe me when i say i intended (and still do intend) to remove it once it's served its purpose. it wasn't very well written anyway ;)

anyhow, sorry to have wasted your time with it, but elaborate pranks are a lot more fun than whoopee cushions or squirty flowers :) hope you're in good health (and a good sense of humour!)

[edit] Concerning the vandalism of Saab Lofton's page (and the sources as well)

Since I couldn't find a way of e-mailing Steve Dufour, please forward the following to him:

http://www.saablofton.org/announcement.html

For the record, I never asked to have a Wikipedia page ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Saab_Lofton

Is this guy notable? 68.230.135.102 02:32, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I'd say he's notable, he wrote a few books. I met him today, quite an interesting character. Decided to look him up. 24.22.229.243 10:06, 1 July 2007 (UTC)Chris Jr.

... but if you'd rather delete my page than deal with this stalker by simply, permanently locking it down, fine. Just make sure NO other Wikipedia page has the name Saab Lofton on it. Believe it or not, whoever this STALKER is is that obsessed ...

Steve Dufour: "I've looked into the books listed in the bibliography... The first was published by a small defunct anarchist publisher which describes itself as publishing 'pamphlets', sold out and was not reprinted."

III Publishing printed novels as well. Half of the first printing of A.D. sold within its first year. Granted, the first and only printing consisted of two thousand copies, but don't punish III Publishing or myself for being poor. Besides, look at these reviews ...

Steve Dufour: "The second was described by Pop Occulture Magazine as 'obviously a low-budget and quite-possibly home-printed affair'."

Jarvis Marlow is the man who paid out of his own pocket for the second printing (one thousand copies) and third printing (two thousand copies) of Battle Neverending. His phone number is 702-469-9188. I sold all three thousand copies of Btl Nvrg within the span of a year. Tim Boucher's Pop Occulture review was a petty act by someone gratuitously snide and stuck-up. As you can see ...

http://www.theseattlesinner.com/Pages/books/neverending.html

... Boucher's in the extreme minority.

Steve Dufour: "I'll keep an eye on it. I also find it a little hard to believe that he was kicked out of San Francisco State for writing a novel that was 'too radical.'"

Believe it ...

Lofton wrote "A.D." while a student at San Francisco State University and spent so much time hawking the book when it was published three years ago that his grades began to fall and the university cut off his financial aid.

... too radical means I "spent so much time hawking the book" because I had to overcompensate for all the censorship surrounding the book. CORPORATE censorship, NOT the stereotypical Stalinistic kind all too many assume is the only kind that exists. Had I an easier time "hawking" the book, there'd have been more time for classes. Of course, plenty of wayward students have had their financial aid renewed after having missed classes for far less substantial reasons, so one wonders why was it so important for me to be dismissed ..? Unfortunately, I'm no stranger to censorship ...

http://www.lasvegascitylife.com/articles/2005/04/28/letters/letters.txt When you start censoring yourself and others, e.g. Saab Lofton, because you’re afraid you might upset some rich white assholes then you might as well give up any claim to being liberal and progressive because you’re not.

Local anti-war effort hurt by Saab’s absence How outrageous was Rosa Parks to upset the settled norm of seating arrangements in a public vehicle? Imagine how uncomfortable the other bus passengers must have felt. What was she thinking to raise such a fuss? If one can single out a similar outrageous voice in CityLife (now an echo) among all voices that condemned the United States’ immoral and predatory act against the Iraqi people, it was Saab Lofton’s consistent and persistent condemnations that resonated loudest. As recently as the March 17 issue of CityLife, Saab reminded the Las Vegas community of the need to “hit the streets,” to promote a peace movement opposing the United States illegal use of military force in Iraq. Unfortunately, it was also the last such promotion from CityLife. Hopefully this trend will not last. However, there’s no question but that the local antiwar movement took a big hit when Saab left CityLife. So here’s a shout-out to Saab Lofton. He kept the Las Vegas community well-informed. He railed about the perversity of the United States military-industrial complex. He didn’t conform with any prearranged seating assignments and said some outrageous things that hurt some people’s feelings. He did a real Rosa Parks on us — and we’re so grateful for that. This letter of support for Saab Lofton was endorsed by PEACE NOW, a growing antiwar group in Las Vegas. AL LESKYS

June 11th, 2008 This is the REAL Saab Lofton, and no, I don't feel as though someone is harassing me, I know for a scientific fact they are ...

The STALKER: “Hey lets see some examples of your cartooning. Don’t got any right? That’s what I figured. See the lies just keep piling up!”

Saab Lofton of Seattle was selling copies of Rufus the Black Cat, a comic he said he modeled after Robert Crumb’s Fritz the Cat. "It’s cheaper than filmmaking and it has a proud history," he said about the world of comics.

http://lasvegascitylife.com/articles/2004/04/21/cover_story/cover.txt

CityLife columnist Saab Lofton, meanwhile, started crashing downtown's First Friday parties, hawking $1 copies of Rufus the Black Cat, which is perhaps the only revolutionary funny-animal comic book on the planet right now.

... it's like dealing with a Holocaust denier! And if you want to know how/where/why it all started ...
