Hi. Fair warning, though--this site isn't really for social interaction for its own sake, and most people here are pretty focused on building the encyclopedia. For general socializing, I'd recommend sites like Live Journal or other communities that share your interests. Best wishes, Meelar (talk) 18:14, July 28, 2005 (UTC)

Your problem

There is no need for revenge. I'd suggest telling your mom that the need for love and to continue our species is human nature, not promiscuity. If she still disagrees, I find it best to just move on. Arguing with one's parents almost always results in failure.

I hope this helps.--Veimano 19:35, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Cats

Yep - I love cats. Right now I have 3; Mougie (the one in the photo), her son Bey Bey and another male, Merlin. Mougie and Bey Bey were rescue cats from a crack house (literally). Bey Bey was a still nursing runt of the litter and came with his lice-infested and matted mother as a package deal (boy was she a mess!). She is much better now but being a runt, Bey Bey has some emotional problems (a real fraidy cat). Merlin is high spirited and was my Aunt's cat until she moved across country into an apartment that would not accept pets. As much as I love cats, there is my limit. :) --mav 01:58, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Re:A Request

I don't see why you can't put your political or religious biases on your page, but I think you should probably refrain from putting your dislike of Southerns on it. I can't really help you with your personal affairs (ie. your relationship with your mom); you may want to get someone else's opinion on it (try Category:Teenage Wikipedians). This isn't really the place to do it though; this is an encyclopedia. Try something like MySpace or LiveJournal instead. --Jaxl | talk 17:42, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Vietnam War

I'm not sure about Bienhoa, but am sure that there were American deaths before Ap Bac in 1963. CJK 17:28, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You say you have questions about 1967, 1968; email me if you like, I'd love to tell you what I can. I turned 15 in 1968; started driving in '69, got a draft card (and burned it) in 1972. As I'd already drawn a lottery number of 315 (and therefore a classification of 1-H, "not currently eligible for military service") it wasn't anything more than a symbolic gesture, but I did have friends who went to Vietnam; one of them even got his picture in Life Magazine--the Memorial Day issue of 1969; "One Week's Toll of the Dead in Vietnam". David Lewis Tiffany was one of the dead. I knew he'd moved to Redding, California a year or so before; here was his picture, just the lower half of his face, buried in a helmet that was much too big and probably obscured his vision, along with the town he was most recently from. I didn't know he was even in the Army, much less Vietnam. He'd just turned 18. Most of them had just turned 18. It was a sad, sad thing. Doovinator 04:09, 5 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

flaming chalice

To include a reasonably sized flaming chalice on your user page, add one of the following line someplace to your user page:

[[Image:Flaming Chalice.svg|right|thumb|I'm a [[Unitarian Universalist]]]]

[[Image:Flaming Chalice.svg|200px|I'm a Unitarian Universalist]]

- UtherSRG (talk) 18:22, August 24, 2005 (UTC) This flame symbolizes the Unitarian Universalist. Ye for Unitarians!

A question

I can't say much about the UUA. They're in Boston (25 Beacon Street) and it's mainly a lot of offices. If you're really interested in Unitarian Universalism, I strongly suggest you check out your local UU church. While you're there, talk to the minister and the RE director. Ask about a youth group and if they have one, try it out. Some meet on Sunday mornings and some meet at other times. At your age they're dealing with real problems -- family, school, social situations. You'll make friends there you're probably missing if you're homeschooled. Good luck! –Shoaler (talk) 18:24, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Revenge

Regarding revenge on your mom, I adhere to the famous line from Aliens:

"Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

Merlin Olsen

Hello, why did you remove Merlin Olsen from List of Latter-day Saints? Thanks, Taco Deposit | Talk-o to Taco 18:04, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, sorry, I didn't realize he was on there twice. To answer your other question, he was excused from going to church because of all the tithing money he brought in. That's a joke, sort of. Taco Deposit | Talk-o to Taco 18:15, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The real reason he was excused from going to church? You don't really get excused from going to church. But you don't get kicked out of the church for not going, either. And if you bring the church a lot of favorable publicity and tithing money, all is forgiven. Steve Young is a better example of this than Merlin Olsen, since he was more famous and made a lot more money. Taco Deposit | Talk-o to Taco 18:23, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Subpages

To make a subpage, what you do is similar to making a new article. For you, you would type User:HistoricalPisces/subpagename to make a subpage. You then click the link to the subpage you want to create, and once there you simply click 'create page' or whatever it says when it comes up.

Hope this helps. --Rob McKay 11:42, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note

Hi,

This is a fairly random comment (in fact, incredibly so), but having found my way to your talk page, I note that you were advised by Jaxl not to include mention of your hatred of Southerners on your user-page. I find this advice unfortunate. I heartily support inclusion of such a belief anywhere (if you feel it important) and express similar distaste for the South at my own user-page. If I were you, I'd be bold, and I wouldn't others' worries keep me from speaking out. Happy Wiki-ing! Xoloz 13:41, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm multiracial, but it is probably more relevant that I was born, and lived a long time, in the South. The devastation of Katrina was very sad, but the fact that poor people (of all colors) were left to suffer the brunt of it seems to me more reason to dislike the South, not less. Xoloz 18:43, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

My Church

Hello, HistoricalPisces. I got your question on my talk page concerning my Church (Roman Catholic). What's it like? is a difficult question to answer. You see, if you go by ordinary standards, you might find a particular Catholic church in a particular village or city where the singing was great, the priests were fantastic, the sermons were really uplifting, the congregation made strangers feel really welcome, and there were lots of social activities for young people. You might go into another Catholic church and find some but not all of those qualities. You might go into another, and find none. Some of the best people who ever lived were Catholic, and some of the worst people who ever lived were Catholic. I've known wonderful priests, and priests that I didn't like. I've heard great sermons and boring sermons. I've been warmly welcomed, and I've been unnoticed. I've had fun with friends, and I've felt lonely. But none of those things makes the slightest difference in my decision to remain a Catholic. I'm a Catholic because I firmly believe, from the Bible, that Jesus was the Son of God, who became Man, died for us, and rose from the dead. I believe that He founded a Church, and that that Church is the Catholic Church. I believe that He loves each one of us individually. I believe that although He loves us as we are, He loves us too much to want us to stay the way we are. So, for me, it's not an option to think about joining another Church if I found one that organized more social events, for example. The truth matters a lot. I want to find The Truth, not to look for something easy and comfortable and then decide that that's true for me. Does that help? If you have more questions, I'll be better able to answer them at the end of next week, as I have exams coming up, and am supposed to be revising. Regards, Ann Heneghan ^(talk) 00:20, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No Subject

Hello,

As you are wondering what a Catholic Church Mass is like, I would just like to inform you that half of my family is Roman Catholic. Although I am by no means Catholic (I am Pentecostal), I remember when my great grandmother died several years back in 1999 (God bless her soul), she was Catholic. All I can recall is that in the Catholic religion, they place much on liturgical practices, and fancy rituals, including the partaking of the Holy Communion with wine (in many cases, but in others, no). They do the hand over chest gesture in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit), and then are seated. I hope it helped you out.

I also hope you and your mother can be reconciled in the meantime. History rocks. I like Jeopardy! also, a very good show.

With best regards,

Libertarian

Doesn't bother me you are Libertarian. I took a political test the other day and got Authoritarian Right. I was going to post the results in the meantime, just never get around to it.

Pentecostalism

I enjoy being Pentecostal. Yes, some do practice the Hallelujah diet (I thought about it), but some don't, and I'mone I'm one of those that does not. Emotional, yes! But that's what I love! I don't have to sleep during Sunday services anymore. At times my pastor has jumped on the pews, and yelled (he's over 50 years-old). I'm not allowed to wear shorts at church services, I don't wear my hair long (Leviticus 11), but that stuff is just a commitment to God. My grandmother doesn't wear pants (nor has she ever), she substitutes dresses. Overall, though, I enjoy being different, I'm one of the only Pentecostals, if any, in my classes. And that's great, because I love being different! But yes, I am a Fundamentalist. I have stated several times that I won't recite the Pledge if they remove the "under God" clause from it, because I believe that would be Idolatry, how's that Fundamentalism for ya! Lol!

Scn justice article

The Scn equivalent of excommunication in the Catholic church is expulsion. It is not the same, only similar: No catholic clergy tells a spouse they have to file for divorce or advocate the breaking up of a family. They also do not use a military tribunal type procedure for trying an alleged offender. I only mention expulsion once in the article, but do not discuss it. --Fahrenheit451 17:32, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

hello. we both have a lot in common it seems. I am 17, I am homeschooled, love oldies music, love studying history and animals. I have an 8-yr old Bichon Frise named sugar (I call her sugar babies after the candy). she is more of a family pet than mine. --TBH 12:34, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

(reply from my talk) it doesn't bother me that you aren't an atheist. I support the Unitarian Universalist movement. my favorite time period would probably be the middle ages. if you want to talk my ims are:

The assault on the List of sexual slang

Two users in particular The Literate Engineer & Voice of All(MTG) have apparently made it their duty to get rid of the list and they have been using underhanded tactics in an attempt to do so in any way they can.

But word is getting out, and supporters of the list are starting to rally against them and protect the list (via rerverting vandalism, countering their tactics, etc.).

The results of the 18 October AfD:

Keep & clean = 3
Keep, no clean = 11
Delete = 2

The anonymous clean-up notice

The following anonymous clean-up notice was posted to the list on November 1st:

23:44, 1 November 2005 68.17.227.41

The notice was placed without group consensus, and there was no edit comment. Pretty sneaky.

This was the user's only edit. Nothing before or after. A sock-puppet.

The results of the 10 November Afd

Keep & clean up =3 votes
Keep, with no mention of clean up =7 votes
Delete = 4 votes (including the nomination)

That's 10 votes to keep, out of which 3 voted to clean up. Seven out of ten clearly voiced their desire to retain the list without deleting its entries.

Dishonest report of Afd results

Voice of All(MTG) reported the results as " ", and he and The Literate Engineer used that as the basis to erase the content of the list, which they did in successive edits.

Non-consensual list move

During the 10 November AfD discussion, Voice of All(MTG) moved the list to the new article name sexual slang, citing the introduction at the top of the list as the basis for the move ("it is more than a list"). Several users then used the article title as an argument against including any list entries.

When an article is moved, the change history is moved with it, and a redirect is placed under the original article's title. If the redirect is edited, then the article cannot be moved back. That is exactly what has happened to the list. See Wikipedia:Merging and moving pages for more information.

The current situation

The change history of the list is currently stranded as the change history of Sexual slang.

The content of the list itself has been restored to List of sexual slang, where it was originally. This preserves the spirit of the results of the two AfD discussions mentioned above.

To summarize:

On Oct 18 the list was nominated for AfD (article for deletion), but this attempt to delete failed, and the vote was overwhelmingly to Keep.
An anonymous sock-puppet placed a clean-up notice on the list. It has been used as a justification to delete entries.
On Nov 10, The Literate Engineer made an AfD attempt against the list and it failed too.
Then Voice of All(MTG) underhandedly moved the list to the non-list name sexual slang, while the AfD was still underway.
Voice of All(MTG)reported false results for the 10 November AfD vote, and he and The Literate Engineer edited out the entire list.
I posted a rebuttal to the above antics on the talk page for sexual slang, and reverted the sexual slang article to the November 15 version in the article's change history (the complete list). My username ("Bend over") was banned as inappropriate or offensive.
Some editors stated that an article is not the place for a list, and used that as a justification to keep list entries.
So I replaced the redirect at List of sexual slang with the actual content of the entire list. Unfortunately, the change history for the list is still part of the change history for the article sexual slang.
An attempt is being made to protect the list against vandalism at its original location: List of sexual slang.

Remember, the three reversion limit does not apply when reverting vandalism. Only if enough concerned users participate will this be successful.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. Red Rover 22:02, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wyoming

I said it because I believe it. I don't think a quote from a movie about plastic men fighting plastic monsters will sway anyone. I don't believe in Wyoming. It is one of many things I don't believe in such as time, aliens, gosts, Unitarians (not an afront to you as I noticed you are a Unitarian), Elvis' continued existance, the loch ness monster, and since you are a history buff like me: the fact that Spain was involved in the Maine incident or the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

You bet I believe in God! God damns liars such as the US government along with those who defend thier lies. (If you respond, respond to the 207 ip address as I am now on a different computer and wouldn't get a response)

Unilateral Redirect

Our "friend" Voice of All has unilaterally put a redirect on List of sexual slurs to make it redirect to Sexual slang. This was done without any discussion or consensus. He then removed the edit option from the page to undo his vandalism. Can you do anything about this admin/vandal? 155.84.57.253 14:29, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Homeschooling project

Hello, My name Master Scott Hall (you can call me Scott). I am relatively new contributing to Wikipedia, though I have been a user of it for some time. I am currently soliciting for interest in a Wikiproject that I have proposed on the subject of homeschooling. Before finding Wikipedia, my wife and I were seriously considering, but not quite convinced, to home educate our children.

After discovering the depth, scope, and long-term goals of Wikipedia, as well as the individuals driving it, I am convinced that WP has the potential to revolutionize homeschooling. I am also convinced that home education is the right choice for my family. I have, however, been somewhat discouraged by the oversight of home education in most of the education related projects on WP. There are many potential reasons for this discrepency, but I have resolved to try to do something about it.

Although I personally have very limited experience in building complex Wikiprojects, -templates, -portals, etc., I am confident that the right team can be assembled to tackle these issues. I would like to invite you to join this effort to make Wikipedia the resource for the home education of our children. If you are interested, please visits the temporary project page I have set up. Thank you --Master Scott Hall 21:44, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Update: The proposed project on Homeschooling was met with a very positive response. As a result, the project has been ugraded to an official WikiProject and can be found at WikiProject Alternative education. We have several experienced Wikipedians on board, as well as some new faces. We still need contributors with backgrounds in education, education theory and philosophy, and specific alternative education methods, such as homeschooling, charter schools, and E-learning from both teacher and student perspectives. There is also a lack of quality resources regarding anti-alternative education issues. If are interested in contributing or just have an interest, please visit the project page, or if you prefer, ask us a question. Thank you again, Master Scott Hall 18:49, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
