Simple English

Hi, I noticed you have contributed to the Simple English Wikipedia in the past. I am trying to revive it a bit as it hasn't been edited very much lately, so this is just a reminder that it's still there and you are very welcome to come and help! Yours views on what to call the "village pump" are also requested. See [1]. Thanks. Angela 11:57, 20 Aug 2003 (UTC)

French translation

Hi Anthere, sorry for intervening in your translation page. I just saw, that someone not logged int changed the french tranlation page, so I thouhgt, better take care, that we don't get two translations... And today with this slow servers working is really frustrating... Fantasy 13:01, 20 Aug 2003 (UTC)

You find my answer on my page ;-) Fantasy 13:25, 20 Aug 2003 (UTC)

PS: I think, the french wiki is working again ;-)

Good morning (or afternoon ;-) Do you have the images also in a bigger size? Fantasy 12:38, 21 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Quelques reponses

Quelques reponses sur ma page de discussion... et alors, je dois dormir, il presque fait matin. :) --Brion 11:57, 21 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Mailing lists

Thanks for helping me understand, what the Mailing list are for ;-) Fantasy 07:53, 22 Aug 2003 (UTC)

I left you a note on my talk page. By the way, I'm jealous of the ham in the photo above. Good acorn-fed, aged Iberian ham is among my very favorite culinary treats, and it is just about impossible to get here. Kat

Merci pour ta remarque à propos de P. J'espère que la situation va se calmer... Même si çà risque de prendre du temps. --FvdP 02:00, 23 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Ah, c'était de toi; en fait, j'ai pensé un moment que ça pouvait être les tiens. C'est en cherchant un article sur en: pour lier avec fr:Zone tropicale humide que je suis tombé dessus et j'ai vu que des liens vers fr: existaient déjà, mais en vérifiant, j'ai vu que ces articles n'existaient pas. Je les ai donc retirer, comme ce n'est pas l'usage de faire des link vers des articles inexistant. Si tu veux je les remets.

Rapport A*****e, je doute que ça va le calmer pendant longtemps, je ne sais pas si tu as vu, mais peu de temps après tes premières versions il s'est un peu défoulé sur le Bistro. Que fera-t'il ensuite? Je t'avoue que toute cette histoire et l'ambiance malsaine qui en découle m'ôte toute envie de faire du travail un peu sérieux; dire que je suis passé sur fr: car j'ai trouvé que l'ambiance était excellente! -- Looxix 23:59, 25 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Photographs

I like your photos, especially the ones of the flowers, insects, and Algeria. But my favorite is the one of the trees with the barbed wire--il est tres magnifique! --Jose Ramos 17:31, 27 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Hi, I'd be happy to but I think only one is small enough to email (and it's no fun getting big attachments). I think I'll set them up online somewhere and you can visit at your leisure.

It's good to see you around too, in spite of the Gaia/RK problems. ^_^ ... Maybe he'll visit TUF-KAT sometime and they can discuss plants. I'm sure it would help one of them. ;-) Koyaanis Qatsi 19:34, 28 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Much good comes from discussing plants. :) Martin

Eh, I noticed Jose's comment, but it wasn't my conversation and I din't want to butt in. :-)

TUF-KAT changed his username from Tokerboy, which has to do with a certain plant one can be said to 'toke.' Koyaanis Qatsi

Oh yes. I remember him explaining what is name meant on the ml. Of course, I had no idea :-)

Ok, I set it up and sent you the URL. Now I'm going to make dinner. :-) Koyaanis Qatsi

Ethics is now updated to better reflect the issues of scientism and Gaia philosophy. Our friend attempted to add a big chunk of one-religion-centric crap on the Bible, and then a section title, "Ethics in the religion" (*THE*!!) but was repelled by a troll, who did an admirable job adapting his second pass. The article may now need some defense against attack. Also, a French translation would be timely about now. On the Marxist and feminist issues raised, there may be more wisdom en francais than in the hain-Glitch.

On a different matter, CBC ideas has an interesting talk on "the civilization of difference" on it somewhere. "The problem of how we deal with those who are different than us... " - Beverly McLaughlin

Also simple view of ethics and morals needs work and some mention of feminine and environmental reality, to keep it compatible with ethics. EofT

a couple of links to keep around, not to archive again

an article about BAV1, a bacterium that can decompose vinyl chloride, which otherwise lasts for hundreds of years in the soil. You might know where to stick the relevant info. :-) Koyaanis Qatsi 16:04 9 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Apparently light pollution can interfere with the natural cycles of ecosystems. (I had some notion of this myself, being a mammal who formerly worked at night in overlit environs--no amount of daytime sleep would compensate). Anyway, this article brings into the discussion bits about urban development, circadian rhythms, and unsuspected lynchpins of various ecosystems.

Thanks for the isolated sunflower. Now I'll see if I can do something useful with it -- got to get the atrophied visual regions of my brain working .. --Eloquence 17:05 26 Jul 2003 (UTC)

OK, here's the resulting logo: m:International logos (26-50). What do you think? --Eloquence 18:54 26 Jul 2003 (UTC)

EoT is not banned. I didn't think to put back in the comments when I made my comment to RK. I should have done but it is 5am so probably just too sleepy to think! Thanks for sorting it out. Have you noticed you are on EofT's list of lamps? Angela 04:37, 30 Aug 2003 (UTC)

How common are air-conditioners in France? We deal with 30-40 °C temps every summer where I live (got up to 44 ° for a day or two this year). Of course north-central California probably isn't as humid as much of France, but parts of the US mid-West are as hot as Central California but with a great deal of humidity. Just curious. --mav

Thanks for the long reply. The whole thing is very tragic. --mav

Wow! What fantastic pictures, Anthere! I'd love to help out more with the ecozone project, but I'm so ridiculously busy these days that taking on more work is just out of the question. As you may have noticed, I'm not getting many edits at all in over this last month or two. Real (i.e., paid) work aside, this new bird photography obsession of mine is chewing up almost every spare hour I can find. No matter - I am enjoying it immensely. Doubtless it wil wear off eventually and I'll get time to do some more wiki-work. (BTW, if my tinkering with the links to correct case has messed up your scheme (linked to the wrong things), feel free to revert me as needed.)

Best -- Tony (Tannin)

I'll try to help. I don't know how useful I'll be but I can look out for vandalism and things. Angela

Hey Ant! :) Je ne comprends pas le prob... il me semble bien:

C'est déjà resolu ? Si non, j'ai besoin de plus d'information... --Brion 06:52, 31 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Hi, the second one had a slightly different ending but I extended it to mix it with the beginning of the next song. The lyrics at the end give a sense of inability to draw any conclusions, but of course the music doesn't have to follow suit. :-) ... Unfortunately, I can't do much about the singing on the 3rd. She doesn't end each word precisely, and as it is there are a lot of drum hits covering other pops caused by cutting her off.

Thanks for the feedback. I've been told before that the ends of the songs just seem to drift off, so that's something I should work on. Those are all I have now, though, unless you want to hear the old embarassing ones. :-) Koyaanis Qatsi 23:28, 31 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Well on the 3rd one it was originally a cappella; I chopped up the vocals and rearranged them slightly, then added all the music. On the other two, I downloaded all the original tracks (cello, piano, guitar, drums etc.), rearranged it all, threw away about 3/4 of the music, and added what I thought it needed. No, I don't sing, or at least I don't when I'm around people and fully self-aware. It's not recommended for me to sing. :-) Koyaanis Qatsi 00:18, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)

In response to your question about the translation of board I looked at the Canada Business Corporations Act to see how it handled the matter. Both the French and English versions are official in Canada. This particular law governs the operation of corporations. Where the term, Board of Directors, is used in English, it uses conseil d'administration. I hope this helps. ☮ Eclecticology 21:46, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I'm not sure why I should be sensitive about "tickling" someone who says things like:

fuck your "second warning", MAKE A CHOICE, Mr. Wales

...but I have tremendous respect for you, Anthere, so I will do just about anything you ask! --Uncle Ed 17:33, 2 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Wikipédia:Donations

Hi Anthere, I just saw that the french Article Wikipédia:Donations is not protected. Would it not better to protect it (or create a subpage with the details that is protected)? I don't like the idea that someone can redirect the money somewhere else... Fantasy 08:49, 4 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Salut Ant, on a un petit problème : Ellsilk est de retour et il commence déjà a f....e la m...e. -- Looxix 20:15, 4 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Empty page

Ha Ant, why did you empty your page? I have the feeling, you are kind of giving up some things "Removing from Ambassador", "blanc page"... I hope you did not interpret my "Support" line in Eloquence's page as "I am against Anthere". You know what I think of you. I was supporting Erik in general, and especially I did not like the "voting for voting", therefore I thought, maybe it would be good if he knows that some people are on his side, even if they don't say so.

But you also know that you have a lot of people that have a high esteem of you and respect your work. It is difficult to write because I don't know what is going on... I am just guessing... I hope I did interpret your latest actions (removals) wrong. I look forward to hear from you, Fantasy 12:41, 5 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Yeah Anthere - what's up? Wikipedia needs you. Please don't go. --mav 13:59, 5 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I am not gone. But I will certainly drastically reduce some of my contributions to that project since they are not welcome. And I am in a very VERY BAD mood. But thanks to you both for your concern :-) Any cheers up, bad sexist joke, stupid picture, fun drawing, crazy website address is welcome.

I agree completely with what mav said. Please don't feel your contributions are not valued. They are - very much. Angela 23:14, 5 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I hope you do stick around and do those other things even if you are not doing the international co-ordination stuff. And it would be great to see you at Simple too. :) Angela

It's not unheard-of that a user be unable to edit his/her own pages when that user is a known vandal. - Hephaestos 06:24, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)

The known name of the vandal is User:BuddhaInside. This is the account which repeatedly tried to reinstate a page which had been deleted by overwhelming vote in VfD, with the same material in it. This person probably has another account here, but that's not what really matters, it is the actions under this account. - Hephaestos 06:33, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean; no, it is not commonly practiced that someone on the Wikipedia who has been doing nothing but causing trouble for an entire day, to have his or her demands met at a whim. But maybe that's just me. :) - Hephaestos 06:41, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Hi Anthere, I noticed your comments about protecting user pages. I think anyone should be allowed to edit their own pages. And also to have their own pages deleted if they want to. See Wikipedia talk:Personal subpages to be deleted. Angela 07:05, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I replied on my page :-) Fantasy 09:22, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Si seulement mon anglais était aussi beau que votre français... Et quelle dans le ciel ou l'enfer est cette chose sur le bloc de hachage ?

Well its kinda gruesome looking--belies the beauty of the beautiful flowaz. Good luck with "the diet." As someone familiar with eating, and eating habits -- Id like to (ifI may) point out that the term "diet" is best thought of in the wholistic sense--not that you are on "a diet" (even the Round Table Pizza man is on "a diet"), rather that you have decided to make changes to your overall "diet." Eating less meat is certainly a way to do that, but you need to be realistic. Forget the weight thing--its not a good enough reason to mess with your cycles, and your body will disagree with you. Less meat really means less heavy and hard to digest material to sap your body's energy with. -Sincerely

List of ecology topics could use your attention. A few topics like damming, e.g. such issues as arise with the Mekong, or micro-climate do not exist yet, and must. Others it's important to differentiate from more localized biology or human-driven environment and medical concerns. Let's restrict "ecology topics" to what can actually be discussed and investigated using the scientific method - I leave it up to you how to treat the Gaia Hypothesis stuff.

If it's about how humans should behave, or how what is done to ecosystems affects them, then, we really need to hive it off to list of environment topics and list of ethics topics and list of economics topics.

If it's about how only certain species work or behave, it's for the list of biology topics. I think the main things that you must understand to comprehend ecology are on the list of ecology topics already - but if I missed any, add them.

Ideally the list should be maybe about 100 items.

E-waste

I honestly have no idea at all why e-waste has a VfD notice on it. I have just looked through the history of the VfD page and as far as I can tell, it was never listed there. The article has nothing wrong with it so I wouldn't have wanted to delete it.

17 August was the day that mav started telling people they had to put the VfD notice on things so I went through VfD checking that the pages listed did have one that day. I must have put one on the e-waste page by accident thinking it was one of the pages I was meant to be doing that to when really I had opened the page for another reason.

I have removed the notice now. Sorry for any confusion. Angela 22:25, Sep 12, 2003 (UTC)

Good :-) That will avoid me fighting for it :-)

be careful when you listen to Mav :-)

I will. Could you first sign your comment on my talk page, please?-戴&#30505sv 04:53, Sep 14, 2003 (UTC)

Merci. First of all I was going by my recollection of what was supposed to be reason -- the final curtain call, to my knowledge was in private discussion (with Jim) -- this is still all speculative. I only commented with what I knew of that dispute -- and added to that my understanding of her waning positive sentiments on other issues -- ie. "high academic standards." This is not a complete picture, but maybe we can ask a general question on the WP:VP, just for sake of Wikihistory. Bien à vous,-戴&#30505sv 05:28, Sep 14, 2003 (UTC)
