SIDE
Toda la información que publiqué en la página de la Secretaría es de caracter público y de libre difusión.

Sobre el tema de los teléfonos: si querés llamá, pero no creo que te sirva de nada. La realidad es que vas a recibir más preguntas que respuestas.

Sobre la traducción, no tengo ganas de traducir un artículo de semejantes proporciones. Ya discutí por que en mi página.

Si querés contribuir, por favor hacelo. Hay muchos errores gramáticos. --San Marcos 19:11, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Hey Federico. You should rest assured that your English skills are next to excellent. Any possible mistakes you make are minor. I haven't yet seen you make a mistake with vocabulary, so you shouldn't be concerned with that at all. All I notice is a missed article here and there, or the absence of an s at the end of a verb when it should be there. Stuff like that. But believe me, there are many English speakers with much worse writing skills than yours. It would take a long time to proofread everything that you've wrote, but in the future, maybe if I have the time I'll cut and paste a paragraph of yours to here and show you some of those minor mistakes. In any case, the mistakes are minor, it's the content I'm much more concerned with! (I'm just teasing you there). Hope to see you around wiki, Loomis51 16:17, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

I've chosen a paragraph at random, and I'll try my best to show you some of your minor mistakes. (Keep in mind, even though I'm an English speaker, I'm not an expert linguist so I can make mistakes in English too!) I'll go phrase by phrase. If there's no error, I'll simply repeat it, but when I spot an error, I'll put the correct version in squigly brakets "{}" with any corected words in Capitals:

Back to the Islamic Republic's issue: {A syntactical (word order) error: I would put "Back to the issue of Islamic Republics:" (no apostrophe in "Republics"} even in Iran there are electoral processes and the distribution of the power in branches is somehow comparable to the one {SOMEWHAT comparable TO THOSE} existing in most modern republics. Of course, if you are not a Muslim, you will found yourself {you will FIND yourself} forced to obey the positive Islamic laws and refrain to disobey the negative ones. {and FORCED TO refrain FROM DISOBEYING the negative ones.} As repressive as this can seem, it does not obstruct the use of wiki. {I would rephrase: "As repressive as this MAY seem, it is not AN IMPEDIMENT to the use of wiki.} I agree with you that it would be ridicule {RIDICULOUS} to once and for all vote for the abolition of the right to vote, but for me, this does not seem to be the case even in Iran, as the Iranian people can vote regularly in a multi party system. But I want to repeat that Iran is not the only example of {an} Islamic Republic, and possible is {and it is possibly} the most repressive one. Therefore, I am not being hypocrite in this particular case.

I hope this is of help! Note that despite your minor errors, I understood entirely what you were saying, so I hope you don't worry about it too much.

Also, I keep asking you what country you're from. I'm just very curious as it might give me a better insight into how you formed your views. Of course you have every right to not tell me, but if you choose that you'd rather not tell me, please say so, so I'll stop bugging you about it! Take care, Loomis51 11:35, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

I'd just like to add, now that i think of it, that a lot of my mean-spiritedness that you were unfortunately the victim of in our debates was probably spillover from another debate I was having on the Holocaust talk page. You may want to take a look if you're curious. I wrote a sentence about how I visted the Dachau concentration camp in Germany and stood in the gas chamber, saw the ovens etc...Anyway, I got a reply from a Holocaust revisionist. He wasn't an all-out Holocaust denier, those are much easier to ignore as their opinions are so obviously anti-semitic and go against basically every reputable historian on the planet that it's unnecessary to correct them...they make enough of a fool of themselves that it's best to just let them rant and look more and more ridiculous...responding to Holocaust deniers is actually counter-productive, it actually dignifies their arguments as worthy of reply.

Anyway, he basically said that practically nobody was murdered at Dachau, with the possible exception of some who died of "mistreatment". Rather, he says, most of the deaths at Dachau were due to starvation and disease, mainly during the end of the war. His revisionist implications were obvious: The only deaths that occured at Dachau were due to either 1) undisciplined Nazi guards who were otherwise humane hosts to their Jewish "guests" or 2)the lack food and medical supplies reaching the camp, resulting from when the allies turned the tide of the war and squeezed the Nazis of vital resources (i.e. it was the allies' fault). Finally, he pretty much says that having happened 60 years ago, its time to stop commemorating the Holocaust, in his words "on and on and on." As a Jew who lost many family members in the Holocaust, this made my blood boil. Unfortunately some of my anger spilled over to the PLO talk page, and you in particular. For that I apologize.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called FedericoEcon. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name FedericoEcon~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:53, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
