Many "reasons" have been given for deleting this article, most of which do not appear anywhere in our deletion policy. The only actually acceptable reason that has been cited in this discussion is the last one--that it violates the "What Wikipedia is not" policy. However, a reading of WP:Not reveals no clear reason here either. Nathan McKnight -- Aelffin (talk) 07:49, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

TRUTH

Ordinary Language Philosophy... The controversy really begins when ordinary language philosophers apply the same levelling tendency to questions such as What is Truth? or What is Consciousness?. Philosophers in this school would insist that we cannot assume that (for example) Truth 'is' a 'thing' (in the same sense that tables and chairs are 'things'), which the word 'truth' represents. Instead, we must look at the differing ways in which the words 'truth' and 'conscious' actually function in ordinary language. We may well discover, after investigation, that there is no single entity to which the word 'truth' corresponds, something Wittgenstein attempts to get across via his concept of a 'family resemblance' (cf. Philosophical Investigations). Therefore ordinary language philosophers tend to be anti-essentialist. Of course, this was and is a very controversial viewpoint. Anti-essentialism and the linguistic philosophy associated with it are often important to contemporary accounts of feminism, Marxism, and other social philosophies that are critical of the injustice of the status quo. The essentialist 'Truth' as 'thing' is argued to be closely related to projects of domination, where the denial of alternate truths is understood to be a denial of alternate forms of living. Similar arguments sometimes involve ordinary language philosophy with other anti-essentialist movements like post-structuralism.

Reciprocity

The norm of reciprocity is the social expectation that people will respond to each other in kind -- returning benefits for benefits, and responding with either indifference or hostility to harms. The social norm of reciprocity often takes different forms in different areas of social life, or in different societies. All of them, however, are distinct from related ideas such as gratitude, the Golden Rule, or mutual goodwill. See Reciprocity (social and political philosophy) for an analysis of the concepts involved.

The Iron Law

The iron law of oligarchy is a political theory, first developed by the German syndicalist sociologist Robert Michels in his 1911 book, Political Parties. It states that all forms of organization, regardless of how democratic or autocratic they may be at the start, will eventually and inevitably develop into oligarchies. The reasons for this are the technical indispensability of leadership, the tendency of the leaders to organize themselves and to consolidate their interests; the gratitude of the led towards the leaders, and the general immobility and passivity of the masses.

Gestapo

The term is commonly used to describe any group involved in overzealous enforcement of specific tastes or views (e.g. "the style Gestapo", "the political-correctness Gestapo", "Gestapo tactics")....The power of the Gestapo most open to misuse was called Schutzhaft - "protective custody", a euphemism for the power to imprison people without judicial proceedings. An oddity of the system was that the prisoner had to sign his or her own Schutzhaftbefehl, an order declaring that the person had requested imprisonment -presumably out of fear of personal harm (which, in a way, was true)....In addition, thousands of political prisoners throughout Germany – and from 1941, throughout the occupied territories under the Night and Fog Decree – simply disappeared under Gestapo custody

"We need to tase this creature, quick!"

This is pretty apparently someone looking to block/ban. This whole, "Don't answer back, or else" tactic has been used, from the days of the playground to the days of international politics, simply to ensure that someone replies. Such language is graceless and uncivil, because it is rhetorically designed to provoke. People who are civil seek to find ways to make sure that all sides are happy, not that anyone is silent. Trying to shove people through/out the door is the very definition of uncivil behavior.


Simple copy/edit request

Hi Buster7,

Whenever you have time, can you take a quick look at Euro_gold_and_silver_commemorative_coins_(Finland)#2009 coinage and Euro_gold_and_silver_commemorative_coins_(Belgium)#2009 coinage ... new coins were added in those two articles, and your copy/edit expertise is required and appreciated.

BTW, the yellow box on the top of this talk page redirect users to somebody else's talk page. I am not sure if you did it on purpose or not, but if it is a mistake, I can easily fix it.

Thanks, Miguel.mateo (talk) 06:39, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gil Scott-Heron

I hear you.. it's why I never went forward with it. However, for myself, the most notable thing about him is that he was really a founder of spoken word, and political activism. His record, Message to the Messengers is an album aimed at the rappers who glorify ghetto life, rather than singing about trying to change it. Take a look at Ron Holloway, now playing with Susan Tedeschi, the wife of Derek Trucks (of The Allman Brothers Band fame. Really, look at his page. He played like, 6 years with Gil Scott-Heron, and another 6 with Dizzy Gillespie. BTW, his page needs cleanup, but could easily become a GA article if folks looked at it. I think I've known the man too well as a friend, so I am paranoid of POV issues. --leahtwosaints (talk) 03:35, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No. There's already an editor working on Gil Scott-Heron's page, who is from the GLBT workgroup. I am part of it, too, but have so many other things to do; and besides, to add a few sentences, (to see what happens..) I don't think it's a good idea, since when you do that you need references, of which I have none. Just personal knowledge of the man, and that's not OK here, it's called personal research. Perhaps someone else for now. Thanks for your interest in my projects anyway. HEY! If you aren't too busy, I have on my personal page here lists of people who I'm trying to contact to get permission for photos. Some are already without us doing anything. It's in Flickr; have you any experience with that? --leahtwosaints (talk) 04:49, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An Idea

Hey Buster, Here's an idea.. cause I sure can use some help sometimes... I guess everyone can, but I was thinking. I know Ron Holloway who played sax with Gil Scott-Heron some time ago. If Ron can help come up with any pro-gay comments that Gil has made over the years as sources, then we can use them. But otherwise, I placed a note on that page at the bottom, you know, "Advocate for GLBT people" or whatever the phrase is, and another member of the Gay Cabal removed it saying he was just progressive but it wasn't enough to merit placing him in that category since he'd never done anything specific for gay rights. I'll email Ron, since he was in Gil's band for about 5-6 years and see what if anything he can find. Meanwhile, have you any experience in uploading photos here or to Wikimedia Commons? I have several that I begged and drooled over but I am not knowlegable enough to bring them all up from Flickr. Can you help? I know enough to tell them how to change the attribution, but still, getting them into Commons is something I don't know how to really do. Can you help me? --leahtwosaints (talk) 01:00, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Leah. I'm not real great on all the computer stuff. But...I might know somebody that knows somebody. I'll get back to you.--Buster7 (talk) 01:43, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It is simpler that you may think of. Go to wikipedia commons [1] and create an account. The click on "Upload file" on the left menu, follow the instructions, there is one option for pictures coming from Flickr (to save you trouble with the legal rights). Once uploaded, you can reference it the same way you reference images in English wikipedia (use [[File:]] tag). I hope that helps, best regards, Miguel.mateo (talk) 02:18, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do my absolute best to not let any of you down with the incredible trust given me today. rootology (C)(T) 08:10, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Don't bite the newcomers

Adding Don't bite the newcomers ([[File:Qxz-ad15.gif]]) to your talk or user page.

Simply add:

[[File:Qxz-ad15.gif]]

...anywhere on your user or talk page, it will create this:

Pictures

Anytime you see [[File: ]] or [[Image: ]], this is coding for a picture. Don't bite the newcomers ([[File:Qxz-ad15.gif]]) is a picture.

Templates

Templates create pages within a page. This is useful because you can change one page, and several pages, even hundreds of pages are effected by that change. "Don't bite the newcomers" is a picture and a template. If someone changed the photo at [[File:Qxz-ad15.gif]] hundreds of pages that have this photo would change too.

You can tell most templates on any page coding (except photos) by the squiggly brackets: {{ }} Whenever you see the squiggly brackets, there is a template being used. Any page can be a template. But pages that start with Template: are specially created to be templates.

Gif picture files

Gif picture files allow a person to make moving images in programs like Adobe Photoshop.

[[File:Qxz-ad15.gif]] Don't bite the newcomers, is a .gif page. One of hundreds of advertisements, which you can add to your page:

{{Qxz-adnavbox}} (click "show")

Please do not hesitate in letting me know if I am asking too much! Thanks, Miguel.mateo (talk) 06:12, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all too much. Editing your pages reminds me of:

  • what to do when the personalities are too much. Edit some pages!!!!
  • you see an old nemesis, and you consider un-wiki thought. Edit some pages!!!!
  • what I enjoy doing most...edit some pages.--Buster7 (talk) 06:24, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
