Vandal proof why bother using it?
Vandal proof is only used by people who are too small to conformt people or talk to people about diffrent points of views. I think the using pof vandal proof should be banned as it is a stifle of free speech and expression. So i think there should be a friendlier way of dealing with vandalism you treat vandalism like murder and any way why are there so many page written in a butchered version. if you didnt get it im refering to american english. the articles should be written in the 'real' version of english British english.Lucy-marie 18:40, 21 June 2006 (GMT)


 * This has also been posted at your talk page.


 * I use Vandal Proof because it is an effective way of dealing with vandalism on Wikipedia. I see that you disagree with this and say that its use is a "stifle of free speech and expression". Well let me tell you something. Wikipedia is not the ground for freedom of expression. It's the ground for a proffessional encyclopedia. I don't see how you could seriously and sensibly argue that Vandal Proof is a stifle of freedom of expression, because let me tell you something I find every time I go onto Vandal Proof. I find articles where the entire text has been deleted and something to the effect of what is below has been added to replace it:

"gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay"


 * Now are you seriously telling me that this belongs in an encyclopedia? If all you seriously see Wikipedia as is a ground for freedom of expression regardless of what that "expression" is, I suggest you find another site where the aim *IS* freedom of expression. Vandal Proof is a very uselful tool to Wikipedia, and helps effectively combat vandalism and see no reason to ban its use. Beno1000 16:58, 22 June 2006 (GMT)

No it should be written in Mandarin then because it is more internationaly recoginsed, if you follow that tact. It should be wriiten in English English as that was the orginal version of English. Can you please explain why American English has done what It has done to English English If you can then I may be more understanding at the moment I am narrow minded.Lucy-marie 16:34, 25 June 2006 (GMT)

I have never seen wikipedia policy on which version of english is used so to say that wikipedia uses American emgklish is too much of a generalisation. please either source this comment or remove it.Lucy-marie 13:26, 29 June 2006 (GMT)

Also at your talk page:

I'll redirect you to WP:STYLE - National varieties of English. Basically, it's fine to start an article in a regional dialect of English, but if an article has already been written in another dialect, don't add sections in a different dialect for consistency. Beno1000 15:26, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I would like to draw your attention to the fact that i still have an unannswered question. please can you explain why American English has modified English English the way it has?

Cognition tag on synesthesia pages
Hey Beno1000, Thanks for adding the cognition tag to the synesthesia pages... I'm wondering, would it make more sense to leave the synesthesia tag, and to make that a sub-category of cognition. It's already a subcategory of perception, but synesthesia is tough that way, since it crosses over between cognitive triggers (letters, days of the week, etc) that elicit perceptual experiences (colors, tastes, etc). I don't have a strong opinion, but it might simplify the category tree if we do it that way. Feel free to respond on my talk page. Edhubbard 00:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your quick reply. I've gone ahead and changed the synesthesia category page, and I'll take those tags off the two pages where they're now duplicates. BTW, how did you come to be interested in the synesthesia pages? Edhubbard 00:30, 26 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Good luck with your A-levels! Edhubbard 00:36, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, &mdash;Cel es tianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Thankyou for your contribution to anti-vandalism!
As a fellow member of CVU, I hereby award you this barnstar of anti-vandalism as a token of the Wikipedia community's appreciation for your tireless contribution. Thankyou. --Draicone (talk) 10:32, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Duplication of categories
Per Wikipedia's rules about duplicate categorization, could you please not add Category:Lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender people to articles that are already filed in one or more subcategories such as Category:Gay musicians or Category:LGBT people from Canada? It doesn't add any new information that isn't already provided, and one of the main reasons the subcategories were started in the first place was to reduce the size of the parent category, because Wikipedia doesn't want its categories to get up to 600 or 800 entries. Thanks. Bearcat 08:57, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Arclight Press
I've added the "prod" template to the article Arclight Press, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Arclight Press. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

WikiProject
Hi there!

I noticed that you enjoy listening to Nine Inch Nails, and I was just wondering if you would be interested in a WikiProject (the project itself is not up yet, I'm trying to get it up and running soon.) If you are, please go to WikiProject Council/Proposals

Thanks!
