Communist?

[edit]

I was wondering how you consider yourself a communist. In my opinion, someone who is anti-authoritarian cannot be a communist. I understand you are against capitalism, but if you believe the state shouldn't exist, that cannot be communism! If people are free to do as they wish we would still be a capitalist society.

It looks like there were copyright problems with the German-language article for which you requested a translation. I've moved this exchange here from Wikpedia:Translation into English; you can decide if there is some other avenue you want to pursue toward creating this article. -- Jmabel | Talk 22:32, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)

The response over on DE was that the article has been reedited, with more information added to it since, so that it is not a translation, but uses that page as a source. The respondant suggested that we Americans look for our own sources and have a nice vote. Mpolo 15:47, Nov 4, 2004 (UTC)
I agree, it should be written from ground up instead of being translated from the German "source", so this request should be moved from translation to article requests Olaf Fritz 22:16, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The Humungous Image Tagging Project

[edit]

Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

Article Licensing

[edit]

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)

Levi, please do not revert the finnugor / uralic links. Even if you are an anrchist and atheist. Thanks, Antifinnugor 10:18, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • My personal beliefs have nothing to do with this. My reversion was based on the fact that your edits have been attempting to make the article support your theory, which is not the point of Wikipedia. We are here to explain who believes what and why, not to imply that some fringe theory is correct and the opinions of the vast majority of specialists in the field are to be ignored.

your vote

[edit]

"Very similar arguments could be used as "evidence" that English and Hindi are unrelated. " Are they in your opinion related? If yes, which grammatical and dictionary similarities exist? Antifinnugor 19:41, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Of course I think they are related. If you don't believe me, pick up any book about the Indo-European languages. There is much common vocabulary that they share (see [2] for some examples), which can be traced back to Proto-Indo-European through regular sound changes, but if you actually look at the words themselves they don't look related, for example English "wheel" and Hindi "charkha" from Sanskrit "cakram", which both seem to come from the same root "kwel-". For the most part, however, the languages have changed through thousands of years of development so that they don't look related any more. They are both inflecting languages, but the syntax is totally different. Hindi uses postpositions rather than prepositions, and SOV instead of SVO word order, and has complex conjugations of verbs whereas English is drifting towards becoming an isolating language. Also, Indo-Iranian languages like Hindi have picked up lots of vocabulary from languages in Asia like the Dravidian languages and Arabic, while Germanic languages seem to have imported a lot of vocabulary from the pre-Indo-European inhabitants of northern Europe. They were widely regarded as separate, unrelated languages until the 19th century when somebody realized that Latin, Greek and Sanskrit verbs conjugated too similarly to be the result of chance, and subsequent research showed them to have more similarities (i.e. the gender systems, shared vocabulary, etc.). I would have thought anybody making serious linguistic arguments that two languages are not related would have been at least somewhat familiar with the Indo-European hypothesis, as it was the foundation for the whole theory of comparative linguistics. [[User:Livajo|Ливай | ☺]] 17:33, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
well, I believe, that the so called Indo-European hypothesis does not stand so robust any more, as it used to. Also what I see is, that the Hindi's post position system is very similar to the Turanian way to express relations, it is in fact the same. Hindi has grammatical gender, that makes it apart from Turanian languages, however, it is clearly related to Turanian ones (also). The word set is also worth to check throughoutly. What books write, is sometimes very good, sometimes not worth to read. As I do not discuss about the Indo-European hypothesis, I do not handle this subject, even thought it is worth to handle it. It is better, to concentrate to one subject, rather than confuse things. The Indo-European hypothesis is not my subject, but if you have time, go thru it critically. Antifinnugor 08:53, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I would disagree and say the Indo-European "hypothesis" stands firmer now than ever before, with the discovery of languages like Hittite and Tocharian which both seem to share parts of the reconstructed core vocabulary, and a greater understanding of the sound shifts and grammatical changes that have occurred. In fact, you'd be extremely hard-pressed to find a linguist who doesn't believe there was a common ancestor to all the languages commonly classified as Indo-European. Even if it is not your specialty, it would be well worth looking into if you want to seriously argue about comparative linguistics since the vast majority of material on the subject has been about the Indo-European languages and most comparative techniques have been developed within the realm of these languages. Using the very same technique that allows us to fairly accurately get a picture of Vulgar Latin by looking at the Romance languages (which we can check because there are actual written records of the proto-language), they have been able to reconstruct a Proto-Indo-European language which seems to be the ancestor of a huge number of languages from Iceland to Bangladesh. The theory has not, to my knowledge, seriously doubted by any of the specialists in the field for at least a century.
Those same comparative techniques, applied to the Finno-Ugric languages, also seem to indicate a common parent language. It is not always readily visible by comparing lists of words, because languages borrow words, reassign words' meanings, and change the pronunciation of words all the time. I must admit I haven't looked very much into the Finno-Ugric languages myself but most linguists agree that the relation between them is pretty clear and the proto-language was probably spoken even more recently than Proto-Indo-European, and I'm inclined to believe them. Ливай | ☺ 17:51, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
The problem with the sound shift method is: They define sound shifts and then decide, word a, b, c are similar. Then they define more, and find other similar words, e and f , that were quite unsimilar before this finding. And- the real problem with that, that they do not reconsider the old words are no more similar at all (a and b for example). Sound shifting can happen, but not in large dimensions. As far as I know, the Indo-European theory stands on clay feet due to the unsimilarity of the other languages to Hindi, both in grammar and in dictionary. Newly found languages do not help at all.
There was never a common finno-ugric language. There is no evidence any kind, that one ever existed, but lots of evidences, that it never existed. The relation is anything but clear. If it were, the self-styled finnugrists of the wiki would not use the methods, they use and present every day, even here. Read my home page, I characterize them in detail.

On sock puppets

[edit]

You said on a VfD discussion that since a certain user had only one edit, he was most likely a sock puppet. How do you justify this inference?

"Sockpuppet" does not mean "new user", and I'm trying to stop the use of the term to attack newbies. RSpeer 22:45, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)

  • I assume you are referring to Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Pre-gauge. Well, doesn't it seem just a little odd that someone would register an account just to vote on one VfD page and agree with the author, who himself has only worked on that one article, on keeping what seemed obviously unencyclopedic to virtually everyone else? Perhaps I was being a bit harsh, but it looked a bit suspicious to me. — Ливай | ☺ 07:12, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

a syntax trick

[edit]

Hi there,

I was reading your edits to Somali language (I'm a linguist too), and I saw that you had:

[[Afro-Asiatic languages|Afro-Asiatic language]]

And I thought I'd let you know about a neat trick someone taught me, namely, you can get the same result with:

[[Afro-Asiatic language]]s

Saves a little typing, anyhow. Cheers! --babbage 19:59, 2 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I know. I had originally only linked the word "Afro-Asiatic", then saw the word "language" was there and moved that inside the brackets, without realizing that that shortcut could be applied. Thanks for the heads-up anyways. — Ливай | ☺ 20:07, 2 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You voted "Merge" in this discussion. I've laid out a detailed merger plan. Please review it and state whether you prefer it or some other form of merger. Uncle G 2005-07-02 00:15:17 (UTC)

Signature

[edit]

I'm using Explorer 5.2.2. I'm not really that anxious to change, as constant upgrades are a hassle. But if an update to 5.2.2.0.0.1 or whatever insane numbers they make up will help things run smoothly then I guess I can look into it. And based on whats happened on this page I guess it is turning your signature in question marks. Sorry. This, by the way, is why I prefer to keep things simple. -R. fiend 2 July 2005 15:51 (UTC)

Verses

[edit]

Hiya,

you recently voted to merge per Uncle G at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Matthew 1:verses

however, that VfD concerned only the verses from Matthew 1, wheras Uncle G's proposal covered a much larger group of verses.

would you be prepared to make a similar vote at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Individual Bible verses, which covers the full list of verses in Uncle G's suggestion?

Unicode and having to fix your sig

[edit]

Hi, Ливай. Regarding this, I just wanted to point out that you could change your signature to use HTML entities instead of plain UTF (I think), which will prevent some of those annoyances, at least.

Hope that helps! —HorsePunchKid→龜 03:47, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

Long s limitation

[edit]

Actually, the limitation still exists: the capital form of the long s ſ is simply S, and because the Wikipedia forces an article to start with a capital, ſ leads to S. But since only the 26 characters in the modern English alphabet are accepted as article letters apparently (see þ now at thorn etc.)--with the exception of ß--the 'wrong title' comment is not necessary.

Down By The Bay

[edit]

Hi, the edit here: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Down_by_the_Bay&diff=33521164&oldid=33208926

Now you see, the leetspoken lyrics were made to avoid a copyvio, under the pretext of "for parody's sake" to avoid going against "the spirit of" the copyvio. It's also instrumental in getting parents or anyone of older age demographics to feel and realize how difficult it was to read as a child. As it's a children's song, a child may have tried to read the lyrics with difficulty, and some would like to see how difficult.

Now in case there is some law that still makes a literary work a copyvio even if reproduced under another language (what law is that?), that's also why it was made in Leet, because Leet is not a real language. Therefore, as long as it's posted under the pretext of being a parody, then even the "spirit of" the rules aren't broken.

Now, what was your reason for deleting the leetspoken lyrics, and how do you respond to this post? --Shultz 16:38, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • I deleted them for a number of reasons. Firstly, leet is difficult to read for many people. Our encyclopedia should be written entirely in standard English in order to be easy for everyone to use and to be professional-looking. It would be far better to just provide a link to a web page where the reader can read the lyrics in normal English rather than putting the copyrighted lyrics directly into the article and hoping that because it's written strangely copyright laws won't apply to it. — Ливай 22:12, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Boston Tea Party

[edit]

Howdy, I noticed that you and I seem to post in one or two articles dealing with progressive issues in political science/sociology. There's currently a debate beginning in Boston Tea Party as to whether the article should include the category [6]. It meets definitions set in the articles Terrorism and Definition of terrorism, however, there are several self-proclaimed patriots who watch BTP who refuse to recognise the fact. The simple criteria for terrorism generally seem to be intimidation or destruction of property in order to change public policy or public opinion while a state of war has not yet been declared. Some users would rather use recent acts of terrorism as a yardstick, rather than using a firm definition, and hence lose their ability to discuss matters calmly.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Persone requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Please merge your accounts in all Wikipedias

[edit]

Hi,

I have noticed that you are using accounts Livajo in different Wikipedias but you have not merged them into a global account yet. Global accounts become mandatory since 15 April 2015, and all non-merged accounts will be renamed.

As of now, most likely you have accounts Livajo in other projects, notably in French or Esperanto Wikipedias, which are not merged with your global account. Please click on Special:MergeAccount and finish the unification process. You can check the state of your account unification at Special:CentralAuth/Livajo

If you don't merge your accounts by 15 April, your accounts (in Wikipedias other than English) can be renamed.

If you have questions you can ask them on my talk page. Best regards — NickK (talk) 17:52, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

[edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
