translation
There is an enormous backlog at Translation into English, more than for all other languages combined. I see you are signed up at Translators_available. Would you be at all interested in taking on one of these articles? (Full disclosure: this is a bit of a "mass mailing", I'm working my way down the whole list of French-to-English translators.) -- Jmabel 00:13, Oct 10, 2004 (UTC)

Of course... let's take a look on em.--euyyn 10:23, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Since you put your name down as a spanish to english traslator i thought you might be interested in the new Spanish translation of the week collaboration project. This weeks collaboration is Género chico.(Disclosure: this is a bit of a "mass mailing", I'm working my way down the list of Spanish-to-English translators.)

I would like to revive this project. I noticed that you've added yourself to the list of available Spanish-to-English translators. Are you interested in working on Spanish Translation of the Week? &mdash; J3ff 06:19, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

FTP Talk Page
May I ask why you chose to modify the signature on your message on the FTP Talk Page to point to a non-existent page? The purpose of signatures is to identify the user, if you modify them it renders the process null and void. I have reverted the change. Martin Hinks 16:27, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, I find it more usefull to use "what links here" from my user page to review my posts than keeping a watchlist :)

So when a post isn't interesting anymore (to me), I "remove it" from WLH

It's amusing you cared :)

Redirect
Hi Euyyn. Post-object programming was deleted. Check its edit history. I then recreated it, as the redirect, thinking that it would dissuade people from recreating the article itself. If you really think the redirect is wrong, and will do more harm than good, take it to WP:RFD. Best, Proto ///  type  06:12, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

XIII° final provision of the Italian constitution
Till the 2002 the text said: "... former kings of Savoy, their wives and male descendant are forbidden to enter the italian territory..." This provision was written due to the contiguity between fascism and monarchy, that is said to have not taken the rights decisions to prevent fascism. In the 2002 the constitutional revision number 1, 23 october, erased the provision.

Sorry for my not good english.

Reconstructionism
I missed your edit to my personal page; another editor deleted it. However, the link that you put in was incorrect. Reconstructionist, in the way I was using the term, does not fit within theology, but rather a movement within historians in the latter half of the 20th century. Within academia there was/is a movement to review history using present social norms. In doing so, Thomas Jeffereson becomes a hypocrite, George Washington a dishonest oaf, etc. It is a method used primarily to marginalize Western European history and in particular, American history. If we are going to study history, I find it best to read historians of the day first and then follow them up with current analysis. It is true that history was written by the victors and thus should be analyzed, but it should not striclty be viewed through today's analysis. I apologize if this is a bit disjointed, but I think I hit the highlights of my intent. My statements are outside the use of the term for jewish history and all religion in general. Cheers.

RE:Smcafirst's Wikiholism
Hi Euyyn,

I am under 12 and actually I spend less time on Wikipedia now. I spend just over 2 hours. I am actually a social outcast (well, I do have a few friends), due to my natural shyness. People thinks I am a "nerd", as always study for tests, read a lot of books, etc. Oh well, that is just how life goes for me. It is difficult for me to get rid of my shyness.

Happy and (shy) editing,

Homeschooling and making friends
There are neighborhood kids, there are after-school activities (e.g. bowling, Little League, dance, music), there are parks. Anyway, who needs hundreds of friends? A handful is really enough for most people -- schools give you the illusion of lots of friends who are really only acquaintances. Many homeschoolers organize themselves to meet in parks during the school day, and in general homeschooled children are more open to making friends who are of different ages. It's certainly a topic that a homeschooling parent has to think about, but it's not that difficult to address. &mdash;Wahoofive (talk) 03:43, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Euynn, I saw your comments on the homeschooling page and I thought I would take a stab at addressing them. It sounds as though you don't know any homeschoolers, who I think are uncommon in Spain. Basically, the answer is twofold. The 'real' answer is that most homeschoolers make friends among the people they run into in their (quite various) activities: it isn't that they are locked in a basement all day, they are more likely going to the library, to private workshops, etc. I think it's fair to say that homeschoolers are apt to have friends across a wider age range than their in-school peers. The secondary answer, which is something of a 'tu quoque' fallacy, but remains compelling, is that kids in public schools may not have much of a leg up in making friends, either. I don't know how old you are, but I (at 30 years) have only 3 or 4 friends from my high school years, and I think I'm on the high end. I would guess that most people have none. So this raises a real question of whether schools, as they are currently constructed, are a good environment for developing friendships. Ethan Mitchell 21:53, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Howdy, Euyyn-

I did not say that there were no homeschoolers in Spain; I said it wasn’t common. In fact, I know that there are a few. I believe that Spanish law takes a strong stand on child abuse and neglect, but where families have demonstrated that they are not abusing or neglecting their children, the courts have occasionally permitted them to withdraw children from school. And other families, as in Germany, do so illegally.

As a teacher, I can tell you that the difference between teaching one or two kids and teaching thirty is huge. At about five kids, you are already spending perhaps 50% of your time on crowd control. I’ve never taught more than twenty kids at a time, but in a classroom that size, I feel like I’ve done a good job if I can teach one idea per hour. But when I am teaching one-on-one, I can stay right there with the child’s interests, answer every question they have, make sure I haven’t moved on to B until they understand A. That’s why tutors cost so much, right?

Anyway. I appreciate your point about temporary versus long-term friends. I can only tell you from my own experience of homeschoolers in the United States, (which is pretty extensive), that they have plenty of friends, certainly as many as I had when I was their age (and in school). And my instinctive feeling, though it may be biased, is that their friendships are mostly of a higher quality than I had at their age. Of course, there are over one million homeschoolers here. If you were homeschooling in Spain, trying to find friends in your peer group might be a lot harder, yes? P.S. Nice to see that you’re from the Canaries. My mother’s family were Canarios; I have spent quite some time on mainland Spain but I’ve never made it out to the islands. -Ethan Mitchell 18:59, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Greetings, Euyyn!

I'm the webmistress for a secular homeschooling group in Seattle, Wa, US with approximately 205 families (400+ kids). I was interested in reading your question about how homeschooled children find and make long-lasting, important friendships. I can tell you that many of the children in our group have known each other since they were babies, participate almost daily in group field trips, classes, and park days, and make time for each other with play visits, book clubs, and special interest groups (for instance, a writer's or chess club). Our group uses an email list and a private wiki to coordinate events and outings for which there are usually at least one listing every day, sometimes several.

The children in our group are energetic, cheerful, sincere, with sometimes wicked senses of humor. I am not a 'kid' person, but I like just about every single one that I've met (there's a LOT of them now). Homeschooling isn't always the easiest path - sometimes it's a right slog. But seeing my children, their friends, and the kind of people they are turning out to be, I have no doubts that the hard work (and lots of driving/bus riding) is absolutely worth it.

Plus, you know, cuddles during the day whenever I feel like it. If you'd like to see our group's website, feel free to come on over to my talk page and I'll put the link up. Cheers! Strike71 03:06, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey there. Like the above wikipedians, I noticed your question on the homeschool talk page and thought I'd take a stab at answering it. After attending a public grade school, I was home educated through junior high and high school (I'm now working on a PhD in biochemistry, FYI) so I believe I'm a qualified respondent. First, understand that "Homeschool" is a bit of a misnomer. It is true that most of the core curriculum is studied at home, but homeschooled families also take advantage of community resources (to varying degrees) for education in more advanced subjects. By community resources I mean open enrollment colleges, university professors who devote spare time to mentoring local children, educational museum and zoo programs, and local public schools with "open arms" type policies. I got about half my education at home and half at local schools and colleges. In this way I had as much opportunity to make friends in school as any student of the state. Moreover, local schools often allow homeschooled children within their district to try out for athletic teams if they wish. It is possible for a homeschooler to play soccer, for example, for a high school he does not attend. Some homeschool associations also organize their own exclusive competitive athletic leagues. Homeschoolers often have as much access (and sometimes more) to athletics and the concomitant social environments. Further, homeschooled children often come from socially aware/active families. They may attend church if they are religious, they may attend community events (protests, block parties, sporting events as spectators, theatre productions, etc.), they may be involved in activities like scouts or military auxiliaries, and so on. Finally, there are always the neighborhood kids to play with. :) P.S. I apologize if this sounds somewhat disjointed or poorly written. I am tired from studying all day.

At Liberal paradox you added a redlink to Sen's paradox. I'm curious about this -- isn't that a reference to the liberal paradox itself, a classic work of Sen? That is, where should that link point if not to the page itself?

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:48, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
