Boysetsfire article

I was wondering why you removed the sub-genre reference to emo/hardcore. Admittedly it may be problematic where not clear but just using generic rock does not help me. I write info that would help me, so the sub-genres were of value to me. Paul foord 14:43, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Paul, I edited the Boysetsfire article first, and I think I left in the emo/hardcore reference. However, I'm sure Barricades has changed it because rock is bigger than progessive emocore??? fpo 02:14, Apr 24, 2005 (UTC)

Infoshop

An anarchist wiki has opened up on Infoshop, I thought you might be interested

http://www.infoshop.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page -- J00zus 22:59, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Ah, many thanks. --Tothebarricades.tk 23:53, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

requested article on Stout Scarab

Sorry to put the request in the wrong place. I note you've removed it, but can find where. Where, in your view, would have been the right place? ww 13:41, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Reagan's profession

Prior to being elected Governor of California, Reagan was an actor and the President of the Screen Actors Guild, a labor union. Would this not make Reagan a labor union leader? --H. CHENEY 21:26, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Reagan also betrayed those same people, and became a staunch enemy of labor for most of his life. His role in the actors' guild becomes irrelevant; if Charles Manson was briefly president of the Salvation Army, would we call him a "humanitarian"? Mention his role in the screen actors guild somewhere in the article, but I don't think applying that broad label is a good idea.--Tothebarricades.tk 22:25, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

It is your opinion that Reagan "betrayed those same people". Many would argue that Ronald Reagan ranked among the Screen Actors Guild's most effective Presidents, leading the union into it's first and third strike, and being an instrumental player in the second (Reagan was President from 1947-1952, and again from 1959-1960, Reagan was a board member from 1941-1960). Since Charles Manson was never president of the Salvation Army, your comment is irrelevant. Ronald Reagan was an elected labor union leader, and without his labor connections and experience, it is very unlikely he would have been elected Governor of California, or later as President of the United States. I do not feel "labor union leader" is a broad term, but if you would prefer, we could use "labor union president" to be more specific. --H. CHENEY 03:07, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The comment was rhetorical, out of lack of a better example. You could put "President of the Screen Actors' Guild (begin year- end year)," that would be very precise and not give him an image of being a labor leader. --Tothebarricades.tk 04:26, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Bananas in Pyjamas

That's not a bad picture of the bananas, or wasn't originally, but it would look better (and probably be a smaller file size) as a JPEG. Can you provide a JPEG version, or is the GIF the only one you have? --Paul A 02:55, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

All right, done. I smoothed it over a bit, too. --Tothebarricades.tk 05:45, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Kudos

Some nice contributions! Wiki could do with an article on the battle of El Mazuc[o/u] .. how's your Spanish? It's quite a story .. best source seems to be The impossible defence (http://es.geocities.com/paisajes_guerrilla/mazuco.html) quota

Thanks, haha...My spanish is good enough to get the jist of it...I plan on writing a decent article for every red link in Anarchism in Spain and Spanish history around that time period. I'm familiar with this incident, though, and an article would be nice...I'll see when I get the time to do so ;) --Tothebarricades.tk 22:13, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Nuestra Arma es Nuestra Palabra

Seems to be the Spanish version of the English article Our Word is Our Weapon, so it has been flagged for speedy-deletion. Did you mean to put it in the Spanish wikipedia? - DavidWBrooks 17:50, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

yes, i did. in fact, i put the speedy delete message there :P --Tothebarricades.tk 18:29, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Wikipedia:No personal attacks

Please review. Sam [Spade (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Sam_Spade&action=edit&section=new)] 05:36, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I find your seconding his personal attack, lending it that much more legitamacy more unfortunate than his making of it. Sam [Spade (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Sam_Spade&action=edit&section=new)] 05:46, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Your tendency to break wikipedia guidelines at will and then act as if those who criticize you are rulebreakers is quite humorous.

rennaissance

Hello. Do you think it's a good idea to decentralize the causes of the italian and northern rennaissance, when many of these causes are shared (ie: feudalism, cities, plague, etc?). I think that these general factors (esp the decline of feudalism) constitute the ultimate causes of the rennaissance and deserve their own section. Proximate causes, such as the fall of constantinople and the division of italy into city states should be placed into the "italian rennaisance" and "northern rennaisance" sections. If you agree, I can make these changes.EastNile 03:58, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Sounds good. Why do you need my approval, though? ;) --Tothebarricades.tk 03:59, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

VfD page doubling

Hi Sean, the Wikipedia:Votes for deletion page got messed up earlier today. It doubled in length, with every entry listed twice. According to the page history [1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion&diff=5255215&oldid=5255193), it looks like you accidentally copy-and-pasted the entire text of the VfD page when you were listing Jessica Pacheco Calvente. I've fixed it. At first, I thought it was vandalism, since someone had been trolling there earlier (recommending Wikipedia:Votes for deletion itself for deletion, heh). But I looked through the history, I eventually found that you did it. It's obvious that it was an accident, but I just wanted to let you know just the same.

P.S. On completely unrelated note, thanks again for you feedback on Talk:Anarchism#Anarchy symbol. :-) • Benc • 05:57, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Oh, wow. Yeah, there was an edit conflict and I reposted it, I hadn't realized I doubled the page. Thanks for fixing it.. --Tothebarricades.tk 06:08, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Image for Anarchy in Spain

Is this image relevant to the Anarchism in Spain article? Feel free to add it. I took the picture from a path in Parc Guell in Barcelona, I'm guessing it's an anarchist house but I could be wrong. Rhobite 02:03, Aug 27, 2004 (UTC)

It says "Occupy and Resist" in Catalan; I'm assuming it's a squat. Since many squatters are anarchists, I'd say it's relevant. (Err, looks like there's a circle A on the roof, too) --Tothebarricades.tk 02:23, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Ha, yes it's a circle-A combined with the international squatter symbol, the circle with a zig-zag arrow going through it diagonally upwards. --Fatal 20:21, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I have added the image to the page, thanks for the info. Rhobite 03:16, Aug 27, 2004 (UTC)

Please edit the image description pages of the images you uploaded for this article and provide sources (URL, if online; ISBN, if scanned from a book; and if you've taken the image yourself, just say so) and appropriate licensing information. The list of copyright tags might be helpful. Thank you. Lupo 08:24, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

G'day

You created the page Desaparecidos (band), and have been the main editor of this page, would you mind if i got this page deleated (as it is now just a redirect), and then moved what is currently at Desaparecidos (which is about the band) to Desaparecidos (band) and created a proper page about Desaparecidos (as in people who were disappeared) at Desaparecidos? The bellman 03:08, 2004 Nov 30 (UTC)

I made another page on the band, only to discover that one already existed. I didn't write the present article, but I do agree with your proposal. I don't think anyone else would object, either. --Tothebarricades.tk 03:26, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

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:

• Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
• Multi-Licensing Guide
• Free the Rambot Articles Project

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 (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit&section=new)| talk)

Image licensing

Hi! Thanks for uploading Image:Image:Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bumblebee around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{fairuse}}if you claim fair use.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you.

If you uploaded other images, please clarify copyright for them as well, otherwise the images will eventually be deleted.

Thanks, Denni☯ 01:39, 2004 Dec 13 (UTC)

Could you add this information to Image:CNT FAI flag.jpg/Image:CNT FAI flag.png as well? Guanaco 20:50, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Nationalist Anarchism

You have removed "Nationalist Anarchism" from Anarchism (word), you have also refered to Talk:Anarchism. Well, if you actually read the talk page of Anarchism page, you would notice that Anarchism (word) was created precisely in order to add things like "Nationalist Anarchism" somewhere. Thank you. User:Beta m/sig

That's just legitimizing idiotic vandalism. It shouldn't be added anywhere. --Tothebarricades.tk 16:51, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I've heard about "Nationalist Anarchism" about a year and a half ago, it exists. I wish that it wouldn't, however, i will not let my politics begin converting everybody and censoring what i don't like. It exists, so we might as well put it in the Wikipedia, although not in Anarchism. User:Beta m/sig

69696 (number)

You can make an infinite number of palindromic squares by following this pattern:

• 1 ^ 2 = 1
• 11 ^ 2 = 121
• 101 ^ 2 = 10201
• 1001 ^ 2 = 1002001
• 10001 ^ 2 = 100020001
• 100001 ^ 2 = 10000200001

and so on; there are plenty of others greater than 69696 too. The reference for the fact I found is at [2] (http://primes.utm.edu/curios/page.php/69696.html) - possibly that's what the book was trying to say, only it got muddled along the way? sjorford →•← 20:10, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Mrs Lemon

You started an article called Mrs. Lemon, I think. Excuse me, but this seems to be unencyclopaedic. I'm not sure what the term is, but this article appears to me to be distinctly out of place in an encyclopaedia. Yes, it's meant to be a repository of knowledge, but of all useful knowledge concerning significant events etc. in history! Mrs. Lemon seems to be a very funny joke. Haha.

Hi there! I would like to state that this is not a false redirect; rather, 10000 lists a lot of 5-digit numbers and their properties.

Ann Coulter

Why did you return the racist part, only to remove it without comment? Rkevins82 20:48, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

See the talk page. --Tothebarricades.tk 20:49, May 27, 2005 (UTC)

My purpose is to remove POV, but that is impossible, so the next best objective is balance. I may agree with some of your edits, but there is POV all over this article. Normally, news articles handle this by placing a quote or portion of evidence supporting one POV followed by a critique. I think this would be most effective. Thus, on her book, there ought to be balance. So I think it is inappopriate to remove my quote on the book. If you would like to find a critique to place after that quote, that would be appropriate. If you are going to remove POV, then all but the first paragraph must be removed. --Noitall 22:16, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

Your Coulter response is almost comical - "put back racism accusations removed by coulter apologist. every opponent of coulter that i know of calls her a racist, so your bizarre justifications are irrelevant to begin with-section is"criticism"." You weren't responding to me directly, but I though you might enjoy the parallel of what you said to a famous line after Nixon defeated McGovern in a landslide. Pauline Kael, a Manhattan film critic said, "I don't know how Richard Nixon could have won. I don't know anybody who voted for him." False consensus effect?Rkevins82 05:27, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Yes, it is comical because the fact that people support Ann Coulter is so absurd as to provoke hilarious reactions. As for your quote, I don't see the analogy. I know that people agree with Coulter but that's another issue. The question is what her critics think. Anyone who opposes Coulter from a political/moral point of view who be opposed to her racism. To counter your predictable reaction, only her lunatic right-wing supporters would be incredulous as to how her comments could be construed as racist. But, since some of the editors of the article are clearly among said this population of lunatics it is very difficult to make this article conform to NPOV standards. --Tothebarricades.tk 05:38, May 29, 2005 (UTC)

Sheesh, painting with a pretty broad stroke, aren't we? If this is the tone of Wikipedia, maybe the critics are right.Rkevins82 06:38, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Anarchism stubs

Hello, Thanks for categorising anarcho-stubs, i do have a question though. Is there a reason why you have removed {{US-stub}}'s, but kept all of {{Africa stub}}'s and {{UK-stub}}'s? In my humble opinion all of them are just as important. User:Beta m/sig

Well I was thinking of removing the others...I just think that stub categories shouldn't be overpopulated (it will help neither the articles in question nor other articles needing attention within those categories), and the articles will get more attention in the anarchism category. Maybe the country ones are okay, but things like "organization stub" are so vague. --Tothebarricades.tk 22:11, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)

My Conditions

My conditions are the same as in Anarchism Talk here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Anarchism#Yet_another_Proposed_Solution).

• Anarchism should not, anywhere in the article, be described as anti-capitalist. Specific schools, of course, may be so described.
• Attributions to what anarchists say, or think, or believe, should be accurate. E.g. If anarcho-capitalists or individualist anarchists don't subscribe to a belief, a more specific term such as "anarcho-socialists" should be used.
• If there is a "Schools of Anarchism" section, the Individualist Anarchist and Anarcho-capitalist schools should be included.

It sounds like we agree on 2 and 3. On #1 what about the beginning italics saying something like this:

This article surveys a broad range of political philosophies that oppose the state. Many of these philosophies also oppose capitalism and/or religion. For other usages, see anarchism (disambiguation).

--Hogeye 21:18, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This article surveys a broad range of political philosophies that oppose the state. Many of these philosophies also oppose capitalism and/or religion. For other usages, see anarchism (disambiguation).

This article deals, for the most part, with anarchism in its anti-capitalist forms. For a lengthier survey of anarcho-capitalism than is provided here, see the relevant article. For a simple listing of all variants of anarchism, see anarchism (disambiguation).

That forumulation comes off as We won't tell you what anarchism is, but whatever it is, this article deals for the most part with anti-capitalist forms. I think we should tell people what anarchism is. What about:

This article surveys a broad range of political philosophies that oppose the state. For the most part, it deals with anarchism in anti-capitalist forms, but it also includes pro-capitalist forms. For other usages, see anarchism (disambiguation).

Hogeye 22:54, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

TTB> "The discussion of anarcho-capitalism in the article will be limited, though - where do you think it is absolutely necessary?"

In the History section, Bastiat and Molinari should definitely be covered. And Rothbard in recent history. As for events: Bastiat vs. Proudhon correspondence debate; Molinari defending his anarchist thesis at the radical economist club in Paris; Roy Child's Open Letter to Ayn Rand.

In Schools of Anarchism there should be an anarcho-capitalist section. (And let's not forget individualist anarchism: Warren, Tucker and Spooner should be in History, and there should be a Schools section.)

TTB> "And why say "for other usages" if the disambig says that we include all usages here?"

IMU the disambiguation page is for all non-political meanings. E.g. Ontological anarchism (Hakim Bey stuff), Punk and other "lifestyle" anarchisms, and so on. If people also use it for a misc. dumping ground and list of schools, that probably can't be helped. Hogeye 23:36, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

How much various things are covered depends a lot on the context. If history is going to be short and sweet, more will be left out. If the history covers everything from punk rock to Theodore Kaczynski as it now does, then certainly some ancap people and events are in order. Now your turn. What would you like different about Anarchism (anti-state) if it were to become the main Anarchism article? (other than the italics) Doesn't it satisfy our criteria much better than the socialist article up there now? Hogeye 06:33, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

That does not seem reasonable. So far, the Neutral Disambiguation Page seems best to me. I does not appear we are going to agree about the amount of anarcho-capitalist coverage in History. Hogeye 18:47, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
