Welcome
Hello, welcome to Wikipedia.

You might find these links helpful in editing pages or creating new ones: How to edit a page, Tutorial, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should probably read our policies at some point too.

But don't feel you have to read every policy document before you do anything. Dive in, be bold in editing, and if you do anything wrong, someone will be quick to correct it and let you know (hopefully, politely!)

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

You may have already noticed that you can sign your name using three tildes, like this:. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too, as I've done below. This is mostly useful, and is considered good wikiquette, on talk pages. But be aware that the actual wikipedia articles should never be signed - they belong to the community, rather than the individual who created them.

BTW, some folks may complain that King Tut's Wah Wah Hut isn't "notable" enough, so maybe you should dig out some more factoids like the Oasis one (there's bound to be a bunch, they've had all kinds of future-somebodies there).

Again, welcome! -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 21:36, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Thank you for edits in Lukianenko. Yet a few notes. 1. I wouldn't say that knights seek for revenge: not all and not always; they just learned it. 2. I also think that it's still interesting why the confederation failed: it was nearly established, many islands were united, but it died from inner opposition, more strictly, betrayal. Some guys wanted to get their "piece of pie" immediately, and to get it, they attacked people from the 34th island, one which proposed the idea of confederation. And the fail of confederation was natural, it couldn't succeed, unfortunately. You might be interested in the ending of this book: they committed a sabotage, that is, they sent to their masters several bricks of dynamite via the teleportation cupboard, which was used by their masters to send them food and medicines. The sabotage succeded, reactor stopped as well as the protecting systems. They leaved the place of 40 islands, and showed those extraterrestrials, who is more strong :) Then Dimma and Inga returned home, and met a band of hooligans. They easily won them, but then Dimma broke his sword, because it's wrong, to use such abilities on earth, to bring lifestyle of 40 islands to home, to bring it with him... Just i don't know if it's correct to 'reveal all cards'. ellol 06:11, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

WP:ANCITE
Yo Chaikney, thanks for your efforts at adding to WikiProject Philosophy/Anarchism/Reliable source guidelines; however, these are not to be taken lightly, need explicit instructions on what can and cannot be used for a given source, with a credible justification based on our reliable sources policy on the talkpage. Libcom looks like it could be reliable for certain things in certain cases, but we're going to have to work a little harder to iron out the details. I look forward to hearing any other suggestions for sourcing anarchism articles you might have. Regards, Skomorokh  17:52, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't understand the policy and haven't much inclination to learn it or politic over its wording. I'll leave it to the contractarians. I think that "reliability" is a slippery notion, especially on this topic. I wouldn't consider mainstream media sources as "reliable" for stories about anarchists 100 years ago (or even today), for instance. Whereas how do you verify a reproduction of a short-run pamphlet? And how much valuable literature was published anonymously / pseudonymously? So much room for blocking tha, t I'm not interested in expending energy there, sorry. Chaikney (talk) 14:29, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * No worries. If it's not too much trouble, I'd love to hear your thoughts on why mainstream media sources might not be reliable for stories about anarchists; there seems to be consensus on this among editors who are interested in anarchism here, but I haven't heard much of an explicit rationale – it's exactly the kind of thing the guideline was established for to explain. Regards, Skomorokh  15:08, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well for a recent example look at G8 Genoa 2001. Take this from the Guardian, a liberal newspaper is a story about the police convictions for brutality. It's a good story, but it still conflates anarchist with Black Bloc / rioter and look at the "More on this story" sidebar. Nothing between 2001 and 2007, even though the facts about Diaz & Bolzaneto were known very soon afterwards. I haven't looked at the WP article, but if it relies only on mainstream media sources rather than self-published eyewitness accounts, it would not tell an accurate story. This from a liberal newspaper, we don't have to even start on right-wing papers. It's not an issue of the politics of individual newspapers.
 * And that's a modern-day high-profile media-saturated event. What would the press coverage of the Haymarket massacre be like?Chaikney (talk) 00:21, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, good example. Would you be willing to write a paragraph or so summarizing in the abstract how mainstream media goes wrong? All I've got so far is something like "Mainstream media can often obscure significant differences annd engage in lazy reporting when covering anarchism", which doesn't sound to convincing to the average reader, I'd wager. the skomorokh  16:07, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Miner's strike importance scale
I've changed the importance scale of the UK Miner's Strike article to High, per your request on the Organized Labour project assessment page. These kind of changes can be made by any member of the Organized Labour project, so feel free (!) to join if you'd like. Thanks for using the assessment request and for the work on the Miner's Strike article.--Goldsztajn (talk) 01:15, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Chaikney! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

AfD nomination of Anarchism and anarcho-capitalism
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Anarchism and anarcho-capitalism. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Anarchism and anarcho-capitalism (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:14, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Just wanted to say "hi" (aka anarcho-capitalism)
The level of POV on the anarcho-capitalism page put me so far back that I didn't know whether to cry or laugh. I attempted dialog, but got bit by Knight of BAAWA in an exceedingly viscous way: he called me the KKK!

I attempted to tell him how hurtful this was, as I spent nearly two decades of my life combating Klan and Nazi violence with Rastafarians and peace-punks in NYC, only to learn from the late Humanist Carl Rogers that there is a better way. In the end, I drove a tractor-trailer with a former Klansman, and I imagine with my influence, he now drives with an African-American!

BAAWA's response was that it was "no good attempting to play the victim" (paraphrase)

BAAWA spews hate disguised as anti-hate, which is believe to be a recent adaption by people who hate (or feel an need to use hate) to the successes of the very types of anti-hate movements that I worked with in my lifetime, which would include the isolation of Apartheid South Africa. (I suppose I see hate as an entity in of itself supported by an underlying neurological dysfunction -- but that is not why I am writing here.)

I am attempting to decide whether or not it is a good use of time, and worth the stress, to pursue the obvious NPOV issues associated with the anarcho-capitalism article. My belief is that the movement, such as it is, is so tiny that it's members feel a need to use the WP as a resource, which would make the WP a sponsor of anarcho-capitalism -- something far worse that any NPOV issue could ever be!

BAAWA's actions may be incited by paranoia; I found these words on his talk page stating how he feels that so many people want to hurt him and other "ancaps," as he calls himself:

Nihilo 01 says:
 * Hi partner! Well do you know what's happening? when the ancap haters will stop their campaing, is very sad, because their damage also their own credibility. Regards!

Knight of BAAWA answers:
 * They will never stop. They have such an emotionally-ingrained hate of letting people make their own decisions that it galls them to think that others won't do their bidding.

I say:
 * This is just sickness.--John Bessa (talk) 02:13, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

1RR violation
You have violated the WP:ARBPIA 1RR sanction with this edit. Please self revert. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:02, 29 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Sorry, you'll need to explain in full English (or Spanish) sentences. That link does not explain what you're talking about and I don't have time to read through all the text on that page to understand what you are wanting to communicate.Chaikney (talk) 22:29, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The entire Arab/Israel conflict topic area is under a one revert sanction. You violated this sanction. It is explained in the message above this section. Please self-revert the edit. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:11, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

May 2024
To enforce an arbitration decision, and for 1RR violation, you have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for a period of 1 week &#32;from certain pages (World Central Kitchen aid convoy attack). You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions. If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page:. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:59, 30 May 2024 (UTC)  Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."
