Hello. Your account has been granted the "{{mono|reviewer}}" userright, allowing you to ] on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a ] scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

I would appreciate it if you do not revert all the changes I made to the template just because of one issue that you apparently disagree with. I did not only add gothic metal to the template. I also fixed the caps, removed duplicate entries and alphabetised the three lists. As far as the inclusion of gothic metal is concerned, I do not know what discussion you are referring to. The only thing that I have seen on talk pages of relevant articles are expressions of prejudice from fans. If you have any sources to support your assertion that gothic metal is not gothic music, as you put it, then please provide them. There are many sources in the gothic metal article that demonstrates the genre is connected to both goth rock and gothic aesthetics. Bear in mind that unlike the articles on dark wave or death-rock for instance, the article on gothic metal actually discusses gothic aesthetics in the context of the subject. If the folk music template can includes such genres as folk metal and folk punk in its list, I see no reason why the gothic template cannot include gothic metal in its list given that the connection between gothic metal and the gothic subculture seems to be much stronger than any connection between folk metal and authentic folk music. --] (]) 19:11, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, and welcome to the ]! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of topics related to fiction books, often referred to as "novels".


A few features that you might find helpful:

* Our ] points to most of the useful pages within the project.
I don't know how to restore the images to the article so a reader might offer an opinion, and any help you or another can provide will be appreciated. Being new to Misplaced Pages, I haven't found any friends or allies yet. Peace
* The ] is updated quite regularly. You can watch it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including '''{{tl|WikiProject Novels announcements}}''' there. <br/>While you are updating your userpage, don't forget our userbox '''<tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>]<nowiki>}}</nowiki></tt>'''.

* Important discussions take place on the project's ]; it is highly recommended that you .
* Planning on starting some new articles? Our ] outlines some things to include.


If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the ] or an experienced member of the project; we will be happy to assist in any way we can. Again, welcome, and we look forward to seeing you around! ]&nbsp;<sup>]] ]]</sup> 16:24, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
::* Zazaban the article is totally destroyed, but I'm no stranger to disappointment. I had hoped to be able to complete it and then find someone to help me to perfect it so it would read encyclopedic. The interaction with Trudeau concurrent to the 3 Popes was factual and prophetic, not fantasy. I have copies obtained under the '''Access to Information Act''' of RCMP reports confirming the substance of those facts. How could this information be cited or referenced? The Declaration on Remembrance Day Day 1985, in the presence of the Governor-General of Canada, Government Leaders, the Military, Ambassadors of the Nations and 25,000 people was publicly declared and prophetic, "Hear O people and Nations, even to the ends of the Earth, the Word of the Lord God who is, and was, and is to come, The Almighty. The Lord has a controversy with the people. Do you do well to honour the dead, and yet, deny the God of the Living? Why do you follow the vain traditions of men, and make of no effect, the principles of God? You come here for one hour one day a year in a great show of public patriotism, and then forgetting, go back to work and make the same careless mistakes made by the generations prior to the 1st and 2nd World Wars. Hitler was killed, but it's his legacy that remains. A Soviet-American military-industrial complex consuming $trillions of dollars every year, holding the entire World hostage............"
</div>
"Hostage" was the last word he said perched on a bus shelter roof, as police got up and grabbed his megaphone. He was arrested for shouting, causing a disturbance, convicted and fined $250. He appealed without a lawyer to the Supreme Court of Canada. is exactly factual, prophetic and important, referenced and in Court documents. '''The world is being held hostage to the War on terrorism.''' What further verification is required? Since I discovered the article April 19, approximately 2500 views were registered to the page from an average of 60 views a month for the two years previous. According to Misplaced Pages because they did not object is considered consent to the way it read. This paragraph from the article is significantly important and prophetic. "In 1981, Cormier hitchhiked from Ottawa to Whitehorse, Yukon to draw attention to Revelation '''19:11''' . Newspapers across the country chronicled his journey, and '''twenty years later''' the world was stunned to witness '''9/11''' as described in Revelation 18. There was an off site link so a user could read directly 19:11 and 9/11 from Revelation themselves. '''Even the References to this time were deleted''' This could have been edited to be more encyclopedic in style. It takes many years of hindsight to see if prophecy is fulfilled. I just don't understand how an article on a prophet could be relevant with the prophecies deleted. ] (]) 16:09, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

I though the image problem was resolved for a few days, the the Administrator who started the decimation with his network of Administrator friends rekindled the flame yesterday calling for speedy deletion of them.

Hi, saw your post to ] about ]. Good job not exceeding 3 reverts yourself.

== Your response to "Gummy Dummy" on the BDSM talk section. ==

"From one point of view you could say; Society has been fetishizing violence for a very long time now, this could simply be seen as the logical conclusion. Similar to the extreme popularity of slasher movies."

Regarding actual experience with practitioners of BDSM, I'd say the motives are more multi-factorial (and not all are enigmatically psychological.)

For example, I once enquired a female submissive as to why she enjoyed being dominated. She delineated that it was simply due to the fact she had always "been in control" throughout her life, therefore BDSM allowed her to periodically inhabit an outlet in which she "didn’t have to make the decisions”.

A brief conclusion, but still (I think) intriguing none the less.

In regards to Gummy, I always tend to be angered by the correlation of “psychology” and “BDSM“, simply because I believe it's often perpetrated out of a reactionary fear or conjectured misunderstanding towards the practice; pathologization.

It’s disheartening when practitioners are regarded as mentally sick etc. as it in fact takes great mental stability/trust to engage in acts of regulated BDSM. The psychology is interesting, but most practitioners I’ve met are imaginative and/or intelligent people, who simply admire more creativity in stimulation; sexual or otherwise.] (]) 11:48, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

I see from your user page the subject interests you. I don't know if this is from an observers POV or as a practitioner, but in 1976 when I held a vigil at the Liberty Memorial Mall in Kansas City after the Republican National Convention (Ref: Kathleen Patterson, 'Prophet Chooses Park for Vigil', ''The Kansas City Times'', 13 September, 1976, pg 3A and Robert W. Butler, 'Prophet Plans Appeal of Conviction', ''The Kansas City Times'', 2 November, 1976) I enjoyed frequent access to drop into the studio of a local night radio talk show. One time an astrologist by the name of Gars Austin was on the line from Texas giving brief chart readings based only on the birth date of callers. Coming up to a news break and not knowing me, from the studio I asked if he could do a more in depth reading based on my birth at 8am Sunday morning in Montreal May 21, 1944. The talk show host, the listeners and I were amazed with what he came back with. I asked if the charts showed anything significant around February 1, 1975 the date of my Spiritual resurrection. He didn't know anything about that. We were all surprised when he said, "According to my chart, on that date you had a very powerful Spiritual experience." From that time I had to give more credence to what is written in the stars. Peace ] (]) 13:13, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

I noticed that you changed a reference to the hospital in which Bessie Smith died from "Afro-American" to "Black", pointing out in your explanation that "this is the thirties we are talking about here." Well yes, 1937, to be exact, but I changed your well-meant correction back, because this little hospital was indeed known as the "Afro-American Hospital" back then. If you need proof, take a look at Bessie's 1937 Certificate of Death (pictured in my biography of Bessie Smith)--it lists the place of death as "Afro-American Hospital, 613 (or618) Sunflower Ave., Clarksdale." ] (]) 02:52, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

:Hey, thanks for the heads up about this. I tried explaining my position to Anna, I don't know if she'll be interested in hearing about it. I saw the discussion between you and Anna, it looks to me like it would be best if you stepped back from the whole matter and tried to avoid Anna, and let others deal with her.

I think you handled it well by tagging the reincarnation for deletion and letting someone else know about the situation, I think you should do more of that in the future rather than trying to argue with her. I mean, far be it from me to discourage discussion, but it just seems like it's not getting anywhere, you know? The long and short of it is if she keeps editing disruptively, she's gonna be blocked, we deal with stuff like this every day.

Your recent edit to ] moved the album ] from compilation albums to EPs. According to ], an EP "...contains more music than a single, but is too short to qualify as an LP. Usually, an EP has around 10–20 minutes of music..." and Smells Like Children is just under an hour in time. An EP can also be classified by number of songs, where most have 3-6 songs. Smells Like Children has 16 songs. This album is far too long to be considered an EP. ] (]) 16:31, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
*'''''Diversity winner'''''
:Well it appears to be a collection of remixes and covers in addition to some totally new songs. It seems to be part studio album, part remix album, part cover album, and part EP. I felt that compilation album was the best category for this album based on its composition of a variety of different songs. I really do not think it belongs under EP on the discography. ] (]) 07:12, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much for participating in the ] global contest/edit-a-thon, and thank you for your contributions so far.
It is already the middle of the contest and a lot have been achieved already! We have been able to get over 1,500 articles created in over fifteen (15) languages!

A while ago, I made edits to the Invader ZIM article that were considered original research. You had said something to another editor that wasn't me and I assumed that you were addressing me. I took offense to what you had said and was really a jerk afterwards. I want to apologize for saying that you didn't actually watch the show, because I know that you do. It was my own fault for even getting upset over nothing and posting unsourced facts without any credible evidence. By the way, my IP used to be "68.164.59.136". Again, I apologize for saying stupid things to you. I'm saying this now because I kind of forgot about it or just didn't feel like I did just before I typed this. ] (]) 03:24, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

I am asking you to stop this ochlarchist behaviour.

AI-members, including networkmembers/subscribers, are significantly the only real anarchists in the world. AI has about 50 000 anarchists associated to the network, see http://www.anarchy.no/pictures.html . There are not so many other anarchists around.

Dates can be given in any appropriate calendar, as long as the date in either the Julian or Gregorian calendars is provided, as described below. For example, an article on the early history of Islam may give dates in both Islamic and Julian calendars.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Misplaced Pages:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:33, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Your response to "Gummy Dummy" on the BDSM talk section.

"From one point of view you could say; Society has been fetishizing violence for a very long time now, this could simply be seen as the logical conclusion. Similar to the extreme popularity of slasher movies."

Regarding actual experience with practitioners of BDSM, I'd say the motives are more multi-factorial (and not all are enigmatically psychological.)

For example, I once enquired a female submissive as to why she enjoyed being dominated. She delineated that it was simply due to the fact she had always "been in control" throughout her life, therefore BDSM allowed her to periodically inhabit an outlet in which she "didn’t have to make the decisions”.

A brief conclusion, but still (I think) intriguing none the less.

In regards to Gummy, I always tend to be angered by the correlation of “psychology” and “BDSM“, simply because I believe it's often perpetrated out of a reactionary fear or conjectured misunderstanding towards the practice; pathologization.

It’s disheartening when practitioners are regarded as mentally sick etc. as it in fact takes great mental stability/trust to engage in acts of regulated BDSM. The psychology is interesting, but most practitioners I’ve met are imaginative and/or intelligent people, who simply admire more creativity in stimulation; sexual or otherwise.User:LLLookAtYouHacker (talk) 11:48, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Collaboration of Punks

HEY HO, LET'S GO!!!

Punk rockers—As you know, the Ramones are undeniably the first punk rock band, so it is vital to this genre that we collaborate to improve their scope! So far, I have worked on the band's first three albums, and it would be awesome if all the punks on Wiki would aid in expanding/cleaning the Ramones articles. You can see my progress here.
Please fellow fans, do this for the old-school punk.

Wiki Loves Pride 2014

Hi Zazaban. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Misplaced Pages, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21. See Wiki Loves Pride 2014 for more information. If you are interested, you might consider creating a page for a major city (or cities!) near you, with a list of LGBT-related articles that need to be created or improved. This would be a tremendous help to Misplaced Pages and coverage of LGBT culture and history. Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions! --Another Believer (Talk) 16:42, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
