Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 05:16, 23 April 2004

Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions or how to format them visit our manual of style. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Misplaced Pages:Help or add a question to the Village pump. Cheers! --maveric149

I thought so - thanks for editing limit (music) appropriately. By the way - if instead of typing ] at the end of your posts you type three tildes, thus: ~~~ they'll be turned into a link to your user page (which is probably more useful than a link to an article about the flower!). All the best--Camembert

Hi, regarding your vote on http://meta.wikipedia.org/International_logo_vote/Ratification#English_Wikipedia To be valid you need to have a active userpage on Meta which points to your userpage of your home-wikipedia Giskart Walter 23:01, 27 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I fixed an imagine link on your user page - just thought I'd mention it in case you didn't notice and wanted to reformat it or anything. --Camembert

Thanks, I noticed, I just couldn't figure it out.Hyacinth 01:42, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Just greeting here, nice to meet you! :) According to your Chinese astrology, I could tell how old r u! :) --yacht (Talk) 05:03, Dec 19, 2003 (UTC)

Interesting? Hope so! :) No, I just enjoy talking, esp with gay people (I am not making a mistake, am I?), 'cause I don't know many of them! ( it seems that people here don't like to talk, just working, like a workaholic!) :) --yacht (Talk) 05:15, Dec 19, 2003 (UTC)

"Should be put on an island"? You mean we gay and str8 should be separated? lOl, hopefully there were a "Queer Kingdom"! (joking). I do speak Chinese. :) And I have to have a rest for a while, writing Homosexuality in China really exhausted me... :$ --yacht (Talk) 09:34, Dec 19, 2003 (UTC)

No, I mean the gay people should be killed :)Hyacinth 02:38, 2 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Should be killed? Wow, that's extremist! :O --快艇 (Talk)☺ 06:08, Jan 9, 2004 (UTC)

Michael Nava wrote in his novel Burning Earth, that the Inferno of Dante is not quite so horrible for the homosexuals, because there are lots of darkskinned, muscular men running about there. Darkskinned because of the hot air and muscular because they are trained throw the running, to which they are condemned. So the moral of the story: Killing doesn't matter really. It's just the way to the next cruising area. Though I personaly would prefer to be reborned, and as a gay again. -- Philopp 16:54, 14 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Great story. Actually, I'm kidding. I used to joke in high school that based on the gay people I'd met, I agree, it would be a good idea to put them on an island and, I quote, "let them die ." It might surprise some people that I would be told things like that by fellow students, but maybe it has something to do with where I grew up, see: Montana, Conrad Burns, Judy Martz

I like Nava very much. His fictions are never simple detectiv fictions, there's always many social stuffs in them. My boyfriend said also often that they should put us on an island. I find it a very very bad idea. About whom should I laugh, when I am living only with gays on an island? But you get me a good idea: If they want to send human beings to Mars any way, they should chose gay astronauts and gay scientists. This is the best solution for many psychological, social and sexual problems during the long journey. -- Philopp 10:21, 16 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for mentioning the Stravinski composing in serial style in atonality, I had meant to add it later.

No problem. Hyacinth 21:23, 9 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Hi Hyacinth. As you may have noticed, I split the Hyacinth article in two separate articles: Hyacinth (mythology) and hyacinth (flower). I hope I changed all the links to the appropriate articles. I didn't know which one you want your user page to link to though. You'll have to do that yourself. -- Kimiko 09:59, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Hello. I notice that the addition of Evan Ziporyn to the list of experimental musicians is labeled a "minor" edit. Does that mean he's a minor experimental musician? Michael Hardy 15:10, 22 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Did you notice my additions to the Evan Ziporyn article?Hyacinth 17:33, 15 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Hi - when you move a page (as you just moved bitonality to polytonality) could you use the "move this page" link if possible, rather than copying and pasting, please. That way, all the history of the page will get moved to the new location rather than being left behind. --Camembert

No problem, thanks for the pointer.Hyacinth 01:50, 9 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Chinese

It doesn't matter. :D Are you learning Chinese? Do you know how to write them in Chinese characters(esp the Ts'ai-nü)? Romanized Chinese makes little sense to me anyway.... :( --快艇 (Talk)☺ 06:03, Jan 9, 2004 (UTC)

No, I don't even know which romanization they are.Hyacinth 06:15, 9 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Hi. You moved List of African American composers to List of composers of African descent. African American is not at all the same thing as African, and American composers who are black would surely be a different list to composers who are African or of African descent. "Composer" doesn't imply "American". - David Gerard 11:56, Jan 17, 2004 (UTC)

Hey, I am thinking about List of gay cartoons, any ideas? I would like to know some super gay heroes like that in spiderman or superman. ^_^ --Yacht (Talk)Q 02:58, Jan 27, 2004 (UTC)

I suggest List of gay comics.

I noticed you've moved some recipes over to wikibooks, which I encourage, but you also made the pages at wikipedia into redirects to the wikibooks page, which is not so good. Interwiki redirects can be hard to find, as when you clikc the link in wikipedia you get sent to wikibooks, but the redirect page does not show up on the list of what links here at wikibooks. Thanks, Gentgeen 09:39, 1 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Hi again - I think I fixed Image:3-2 Rumba clave.PNG after a bit of messing about. I don't think you were doing anything wrong in trying to revert to that earlier version, the system just seems to have been behaving oddly for a time. Just one thing - I'm guessing you made that image yourself; if so, could you say as much on the image page, as people are starting to get a bit concerned about us having copyrighted images and so on. Should stave off problems in the future. Cheers--Camembert

I see again that your linking to wikibooks, but you're doing it the hard way, by typing in the url. An interwiki link can be made by just typing ]. Interwiki links are fine, just interwiki redirects are bad. Thanks, Gentgeen

Thanks for your continued work in music related and other articles. Your intelligence and efforts are most valued, so keep up the good work that you do :) Dysprosia 09:19, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Thank you. Hyacinth

Re your recent addition to the pitch accent page, could you clarify what it means to have pitch accent affected by voicing? I think you may be meaning something else. "Voicing" refers to the vibration of the vocal cords (/b/ and /n/ are voiced, /p/ and /s/ are unvoiced or voiceless). I don't know about Shanghainese, but AFAIK Japanese accent doesn't interact with voice... Pablo-flores 14:28, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC)

All I added was, "For pitch accent in music, see: accent." Sorry I can't help you.Hyacinth 08:20, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Cooperation

I appreciate your gentle, thoughtful and patient remarks. For example:

As the creator of the page in question (History of heterosexuality), I would approve a merge with Human sexual behaviour for both Same-sex sexual practices (SSSP) and Different-sex sexual practices (DSSP). Both would made great sections of a larger article. The DSSP article is no longer "little more than a crude rewrite" of SSSP, its now a crude rewrite with extra paragraphs tacked on.Hyacinth 05:28, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC) In light of the continued debates are this subject, I propose we (wikipedia) create a Naming convention.Hyacinth 06:45, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC) See: User:Hyacinth/Style guide

What do you think is the best place for the information in the "Is homosexuality a choice?" article? --Uncle Ed 12:38, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I think that the best place to deal with the questions/topics homosexuality is a choice or no one chooses to be gay is as (a) section(s) of Causes of sexual orientation. This article already exists, putting both opinions/subjects together at a more general article decreases redudancy, and is a more neutral title. Plus, it is easier to NPOV things when the "other side(s)" are right there on the page. In fact, the causes of sexual orientation article, as stands, could use a discussion of the moral/political implications of causes.Hyacinth 15:59, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

delete talk page only?

What do u mean by posting Talk:History of heterosexuality in the VfD? do u mean to delete the talk page only, or the article History of heterosexuality? --Yacht 02:13, Apr 8, 2004 (UTC)

Delete the talk page only, as the "article" History of heterosexuality is a redirect and thus does not need to be deleted.Hyacinth 17:37, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Hi Hyacinth, I wanted to say hello. I found some of your excellent articles on music. Excellent work. I'll be adding some other composers and music-related topics. Be well! Antandrus 02:17, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Thanks.Hyacinth 17:37, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Hiya, would you care to voice an opinion on the dispute on the talk:heterosexuality page (at the bottom re: heterosexualism)? I'd like to get this page unblocked and up and running again. Exploding Boy 03:20, Apr 17, 2004 (UTC)

New Musicology

Hey, you should actually write a whole article on New Musicology - currently it's just a redirect to musicology, making its addition somewhat less interesting than it could be.

Thanks for your input on the project, btw. Snowspinner 05:16, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)
