Cybergoth

Thanks very much for your help with the cybergoth move, and the redirects and talk page merge issues. I really appreciate it. Aryder779 (talk) 15:45, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

January 2009

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Cybergoth. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Oo7565 (talk) 00:39, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the notice of concern regarding the recent flurry of Cybergoth reverts and counter-reverts. Rest assured that my only intention behind my actions was to promote and encourage discussion regarding the recent move of the article from Cyber (subculture) to Cybergoth. During my reverts I attempted to communicate with the opposing editor that the activity we were engaged in was disruptive and warned said editor that they were breaching the Third revert rule. In the process, I inadvertently breached it myself. Since that brief period of reversion warring, the duel has died and I assume a genuine discussion regarding the future of the article can continue. --Cast (talk) 01:38, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Cyberpunk album page

I just wanted to thank you for creating such an in-depth article on Billy Idol's Cyberpunk album. I wanted to learn more about the album's production and release and was just expecting a stub article, but instead I got a well-written and and detailed description! Great work! Are you a fan of the album? Weatherman90 (talk) 02:15, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your gratitude and interest in subject. I put a fair amount of effort into that article, and it's nice to see it appreciated by others. I am not really a great fan of the album, nor of Billy Idol in general. In fact, having listened to it, I find myself disliking most of its content and agreeing with some of the negative criticism charged against certain tracks. That said, I am also rather sympathetic to what I've come to believe was Idol's genuine interest to propagate what he believed to be a vital emerging subculture of the early 90s, and am almost kinda disappointed that his futurist predictions regarding a "cyberpunk-punk" music movement didn't take place. It certainly would have been interesting to see it develop beyond his enthusiasm into a full blown music sub-genre. I discovered the album some months ago by chance, while following links on wikipedia from the cyberpunk article. Ignoring the topic at the time, I eventually stumbled upon a pirated copy of the Cyberpunk: Shock to The System documentary on YouTube and my interest was peaked. In a matter of days I tracked down about 90% of the cited sources I used for the article, and then having no one to discuss my findings with, I proceeded to write the majority of the article over another couple of days. It was largely fleshed out in less than a week, but I eventually lost interest and haven't pushed it to FA status. I believe it would be nearly ready for FA nomination if I were to include more information derived from The Souls of Cyberfolk: Posthumanism as Vernacular Theory. Unfortunately, what little of that book I have read has convinced me that the subject is rather long, and will take a fair amount of study on my part to properly integrate those parts related to the Cyberpunk album into the article. Once I do though, the work will be as complete as I can make it. If you are interested in learning more about the subject, do follow the citations. The article can only detail the dry facts, and much of the "flavor" of the original interviews with Idol is not conveyed as accurately as it could be. --Cast (talk) 03:13, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Anarchism: Related Portals

Thanks. I'm glad that our Task Force has another GA. — ] (] · ]) 05:44, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

A message to Cast

The AI/IAF/AFI has renewed interest in wikipedia. I hope that ochlarchists like Zazaban and Skomorokh can be more matter of fact this time! The AI is certainly not a "hoax/spam/non-notable; worth keeping an eye on for quality control", see my arguments below. AI/IAF/AFI is significantly the largest anarchist organization in the world. This is based on reliable, independent third party sources, and I hope thus that my scientifical contributions will not be deleted.

If adding true and easily verifiable information to the IFA-IAF-Wiki-page, that is clearly misleading and biased, is vandalism, you have a wrong interpretation of the concept vandalism. My additions isare100% according to the Misplaced Pages principle of verification. If I am blocked it is real vandalism.
