where is the page with the character map of different text symbols?

I think you might be looking for Wikipedia:How_does_one_edit_a_page. Yes? --Sam

I cut and pasted á into my website but it doesn't work. Do u know why that might be?

LOOK IT DOESNT EVEN WORK HERE!!! Lir 22:08 Oct 18, 2002 (UTC)

It works fine for me. Look on your keyboard, to the right of your space bar. If there is an "Alt Gr" key, hold that down and press "a". That should give you an á (a with an accent). If not, I don't know what's wrong. Try:
à
..maybe. --Sam


Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need any questions answered about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. BTW, nice addition to The State of the Art. Cheers! --maveric149


Hi. I noticed too your fix of my missing ")" on Diziet Sma. Wikipedia should give a particularly warm welcome to eagle-eyed typo-spotters! ;-) -- Tarquin

Was that me? Oh, might've been. I'm reading Consider Phlebas right now, so might add a bit to that, while we're talking about Banks... —Tzartzam

hello. pipes | are necessary in internal links; a space after the URL will do it in externallinks. And welcome to wikipedia.  :-) --KQ

Yeah — I was just editing that when you did it for me. Thanks! You have a livejournal, don't you? I just added mine to the "wikipedia" interest list... that makes four! — tzartzam
The wikipedia interest list? Or you added wikipedia on your livejournal interest list? Oh, I see. I wonder who Brandon is....
Yes, that's me on livejournal. My journal ranges from banal to, uh, slightly less banal. That's where I do all my completely opinionated writing.  :-) (Luckily no one else can edit it.) --KQ

Hi - you'll probably see it anyway without me pointing it out here, but I just added a far-too-long ramble about different editions to Talk:Homage to Catalonia - hopefully you'll have a better idea than me of how to sort the article out so it's clear to readers with any edition. It's probably not particularly important, I just get strangely obsessed with these sorts of things. --Camembert

As I said over there, I'll sort this out when I have time, I think. The changes were made at his request, but I don't think they were published until after his death (1950). -- Tzartzam

just a little confused why you would rather have a see also format like

See also: look this isn't as nice

instead of

SEE ALSO

Well, it's just a personal thing, I suppose!
  1. I don't like the capitals in "SEE ALSO" -- I prefer lower case generally.
  2. I don't like the one word lists, either. I think they should be avoided when possible, although they're ok for external links.
--Sam

By the way, Lir, I've started using:

See also: this, is, nice

Also, I put see also's above any external things, which includes books as well as links, so I sometimes have

Hello:

I noticed you included a link to Mellor's Direct Action book on the Direct Action page. What do you think might be useful there? (I am sitting here with an ancient copy, and I might as well use it.) Eventually, I plan to write something about Mellor, who seems quite an interesting fellow. BTW, thanks for the welcome! Marvinfreeman 13:28 Oct 30, 2002 (UTC)

For books in general, I'd say we should include one or more of the following:

  • publishing information
  • summary of book
    • summary of each chapter
  • effect of the book/historical significance; eg. on a particular movement, is the book considered a standard/definitive work?

For examples, see Homage to Catalonia (with chapter summary; needs work, which I'll get round to soon, promise :), No Logo. In fiction, the Iain Banks books have a few articles.

I haven't read it myself, so I can't comment on it specifically. I might take a look though; I'm going to the library tonight. -- Sam

Hi, on album covers: the original thought was that it was okay as fair use, just like book and videotape covers, but it is currently being hashed out on the Wikipedia-l mailing list, so we'll see what the consensus is. Hopefully, we'll be able to do it. Tokerboy 15:07 Nov 5, 2002 (UTC)

I'd have thought it would be -- and most artists wouldn't have a problem with it (excepting Metallica's lawyers!) -- Sam

Tzartzam, why did you move Subcomandante Marcos to Subcommandante Marcos? In what language does the word have to "m"s? Certainly not in Spanish, which is his native language, and not in English, so far as I know? -- Zoe

Hi Tzartzam.

The Common Agricultural Policy is both lacking of information and very biaised. Since you are currently working in that field, could you please bring it a little bit more of info and mostly bring it more balance ? I can help you maybe, but I think you probably know more. Imho, putting down criticism is fine, but putting only criticism is not.

user:anthere

I'll have a look at it and put in what I can remember -- Sam

Nice work on Kotoku Shusui... very interesting reading. Graft

Happy Birthday! --mav 23:38 Nov 19, 2002 (UTC)

I was just coming to post that. Happy upcoming birthday.  :-) -- Zoe 23:40 Nov 19, 2002 (UTC)

Ah, no, twas last Sunday :) I thought some of the hawks on recents changes would spot that... Thakns for the thought, both of you! -- Sam
Ah, sorry, I thought you were saying next Sunday. Hope it was a good one. -- Zoe
That's alright; it was definately good. --Sam

Greetings Orwell fan. Keep the Aspidistra Flying!

 :D
And I'll finish my summary at Down and Out in Paris and London too... -- Sam


Sam- on the facsimile of the Freedom cover there is a headline 'let down by Crass'- presumably this is a reference to crass' recent gig at teh Queen Elisabweth Hall- do you have the article? I'd like to read it, esp any replies... cheers quercus robur

I've sent it to you. -- Sam 22:24 Nov 30, 2002 (UTC)

Thanks alot Sam!! Just arrived in my inbox quercus robur

"as well as some anarchists, who, although they normally agree with his political analysis, consider his aforementioned support of electoral politics to go against their principles." Seems to me that anarchists talk a much better line against voting than they actually do in practice. I would think that voting as strategic does not make one a bad anarchist. In spain, before the rise of Franco the anarchists voted, then next ellection boycoted the vote, resulting in Franco coming to power. Many Anarchists do vote, they just don't like it.- Karl

Thank you for your welcome! I'm not sure where to respond - my or your talk page. I am not challenging what you wrote, just questioning. Still swishing the idea around a bit - On a simiar note, I would think that one could say that pacifist anarchists would state that violence goes against their principles as anarchists - ie. inherently authoritarian. Is voting and encouraging others to vote sufficiently a non-standard anarchist practice to warrent mentioning? Perhaps so. - Karl

Hi, Tzartzam, thanks for wikifying the new articles on the Belgian municipalities. However, I doubt that the towns constituting these municipalities all deserve an article in their own right. That's why I didn't wikify them in the first place. You probably don't agree. I don't really have a preference. But if there's a need I can wikify them on creation. What do you think? Dhum Dhum 13:23 Dec 4, 2002 (UTC)

Re: your answer on my talk page. I agree that a number of towns can have a claim to fame. I have wikified the rest of the towns in the province of West Flanders. I'm just not sure if it should be a standard thing to do.
You also wrote: 'many of the municipalities have town or cities with the same name: you've called them "the city of Tielte proper", for example. Should there be seperate articles for the city/town and the municipality?' In this case I have a clearer view. My answer would be no. I can't see anything (concerning the town) that you would write in the municipality article and not in the town article, and vice versa. For an example see the Brussels article: it's a region, a district, a municipality and a city, and yet there is only one article. There's no need to create multiple articles in this case. Dhum Dhum 19:03 Dec 4, 2002 (UTC)
Re: your question about Nieuwpoort. You are right that 'Nieuwpoort' could be translated as 'Newport'. However, I have never seen the city translated as such in English. Some Belgian cities are translated in other languages, others not. I suspect Nieuwpoort is not, and therefore needs not to be disambiguated (but I'm not 100% sure). Dhum Dhum 19:14 Dec 4, 2002 (UTC)

I'm so sorry! Do you have any plans for the future? When did you hear?! DanKeshet, dkesh , channel1 , com

Hi Sam- I looked at your mp3 tracks (couldn't download them tho as it meant registering and I couln't be arsed with all the form filling yet again...)- is the song 'Whatever' the same track thats been getting radio play here in the UK? quercus robur 18:03 Dec 7, 2002 (UTC)

Sorry to hear about your troubles, Sam. Have you squirreled any funds away? Any plans yet? Best, --KQ

Typical anarchist working for the state and complaining about not having enough money LOL ;-)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Near Death Experience (band)

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Near Death Experience (band), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Freedom vol63 no21.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Freedom vol63 no21.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Κaiba 01:33, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Freedom vol63 no21.gif

Thank you for uploading Image:Freedom vol63 no21.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by an adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Papa November (talk) 18:59, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
