Thanks a lot for that. Your changes improved the userbox greatly. If you don't mind I'll adopt the version you have on your user page. Avalon 12:01, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Appeal to authority
I posted a response...I think you are mistaken about the meaning of validity. NickelShoe 15:40, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Appeal to authority
I've left a quick comment about the question of the validity of the argument form.

Where are going to be studying philosophy? Single honours? --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 11:06, 3 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Good grief &mdash; philosophy and medicine? You don't believe in taking the easy route, do you?  Isn't Graham Priest at Melbourne?  I don't agree with his viws on modality, but he probably makes and interesting lecturer (I've only seen him speak once, when he gave a paper at a Joint Sessio one year).
 * Anyway, I'll go and take a look at Appeal to authority. --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 11:32, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Esperanza
Welcome,, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member, you might be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Possibles.

I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee, JoanneB, Titoxd and FireFox. The April elections have begun.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact me via email or talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to be!

Thanks!   _-M     o     P-_     12:52, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Old Skool Esperanzial note
Since this isn't the result of an AC meeting, I have decided to go Old Skool. This note is to remind you that the elections are taking place now and will end at 23:50 UTC on 2006-04-29. Please vote here. Thanks. --Cel es tianpower háblame 20:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Anglicanism and the Anglican Communion
Hello! I noticed that you have identified yourself as an Anglican, and so I thought that you may be interested in checking out a new WikiProject - WikiProject Anglicanism. Please consider signing up and participating in this collaborative effort to improve and expand articles related to Anglicanism and the Anglican Communion! Cheers! Fishhead64 23:49, 11 June 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)

Snow trip
Hi Leon! Thanks for sharing your trip with me! How did you go with the location of the panos? Which way did you come up? Through Bright or through Omeo? If the latter you would have passed my house! Small world :-)! And thanks for your concerns with VCE, I think I should do OK. --Fir0002 11:07, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yup, that's the SC primary school - the Primary I went to! Yes the slide is fantastic - although I didn't go down it until I was in Yr 7! They were fundraising for so long (they started when I was in grade 4 I think) that by the time they got it up I was in High School. Unfortunately (particularly since this is such a small town) some vandalism (a log was pushed down the slide damaging it) the slide became locked after school hours. How did you like my little hometown? --Fir0002 11:52, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Invite to CLINMED et al.
I've noticed that you've been editing a few medicine related articles -- from your contributions and are a med student based on your user page. We have a place where the medically minded people hang out: WikiProject "Clinical Medicine". You are invited to join or just browse the talk page, which is also known as the doctors' mess.

If your interests are in nephrology, radiology, GI or pre-clinical medicine-- there are projects specifically for those things.

If you're looking for info on how to do references see WP:CLINMED/Writing_medical_articles. I look forward to more of your edits. Nephron T|C 05:14, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Depression church
Hey,

Thanks, I was rude too, so I apologise. It was originally the night before my last exam so I wasn't in the best of moods. Luckily, I am now finished, and should be happy for a few months :). Unfortunately, pleasing to the eye is about the subject. Although, I do find it neccesary, it can annoy me sometimes. I take frog photos, and I consider pretty much all frogs beautiful. For some reason, some people don't, and use that criterion to oppose it. What is T2? Thanks --liquidGhoul 22:38, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for supporting the pic I nominated. One thing though...I'm kind of befuddled regarding the stated age on your user page. Your 17, but in med school?!? Wow, do I feel stupid! Jumping cheese   Cont @  ct 11:27, 24 November 2006 (UTC) =D

FPC requires addtional input
You voted on Featured picture candidates/Vernier caliper, but a new version has been proposed and we need to close the vote. If you could clarify your vote that would be very helpful. ed g2s • talk 15:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Links to images
Hi Leon, I noticed on the FPC page you asked which articles Image:William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905) - The Nut Gatherers (1882).jpg appears in. If you scroll down to the bottom of any image page you will notice a section titled 'file links'. This lists all the pages on which the image appears. Raven4x4x 23:00, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Melbourne meetup
Greetings, person who is listed as being interested in future meetups in Melbourne. The fourth meetup will be held on 18 December, at Lower House in Fed Square (in the Alfred Deaking building, Flinders Street end near the Atrium: map), starting from 7pm. We don't currently have a separate location for discussion beforehand, but there'll be plenty of time to talk wiki over dinner. --bainer (talk) 14:50, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: Awesome hurricane dude
Just so you know...User:Hurricanehink Leon 14:13, 18 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Wow, you're right! What an awesome list of articles! I think the other person I was thinking of who I've encountered and has worked on many hurricane articles is Titoxd. And it turns out there's a whole bunch of them at WikiProject Tropical cyclones. --bainer (talk) 14:22, 18 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I just think it's great that his subject of choice is in his username. (P.S. Did you just copy and paste this section between our talk pages, or is there a neater way to do it?) Leon 14:28, 18 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Nothing fancy, just copy and paste. There's no other way to do it - unless you want to use templates and transclude the conversation, which is simply too horrible to imagine. --bainer (talk) 14:44, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Someone trying to hijack WikiProject Gender Studies...
An anonymous user has edited WikiProject_Gender_Studies and has edited its aims so that it reads (the following quote is taken from the talk page):

* Correct articles where the term 'gender' is overused, used incorrectly, or used pejoratively to pander to (what Christina Hoff-Sommers, Wendy McElroy and other more moderate feminists call) a "gender-feminist" POV.
 * Correct articles where the term "gender" is used (without reference to NPOV dictionaries and other NPOV sources) to replace the term 'sex' as a ploy to pander to "gender"-feminist POV. Correct the usages so that the proper definition is used without regard to UNTESTED and often invalid 'gender theories', so distinctions can be made between 'gender' and 'sex', and so that the usage reflects some sort of NPOV take on a highly loaded term.  Just because some widely criticized academic fields have used totalitarian tactics to force 'gender' and censor the usage of 'sex', in US humanities programs is no indication of the validity of this politically-loaded term.  Consult NPOV sources such as dictionaries, opponents of "gender"-feminists and NPOV mass media sources to balance 'gender' POV with 'sex' POV.
 * Correct articles where the term 'gender' is being used gynocentrically as a front for 'oppression'-feminist political, legal or cultural power plays. For example, in feminism (Status) there is no mention that for the male 'gender', military mortality is 98% compared to 2% for the female 'gender' (in Iraq)...but other forms of far less serious female "gender" oppression are implicated (covertly and most disengenously) as having something to do with the gender "oppression" of women.  This kind of blatant, gynocentric "gender" bias is no less POV than the other forms listed here.

Said user has further edited the talk page suggesting that (the following quote is taken from the talk page):

"I suspect this project was created to pander to the points of view of misandric, gender-ginning, 'patriarchal oppression' feminists (please see Women's studies, misandry and feminism ) who use the term 'gender' as a cunning, covert, and blatantly gynocentric weapon of war. Many other more moderate feminists and non-feminists have challenged these blatantly gynocentric, and often misandric 'gender feminist' ideologies. I insist on a non-sexist, non-'genderist', non-reverse sexist project...otherwise this project is just the usual type of cunning totalitarian tactic we see so much in other politically correct channels.  To revert the above content just because none of the orginal authors of this project page like it is a POV stunt to have ones cake and eat it too.  I am going to reinsert the content.   I insist that before it is reverted again good NPOV reasons be provided.  My aim here is some kind of GENUINE non-sexist, non-reverse sexist, and non-'genderist' NPOV...as may be shown well in Sexism (drop in editor) 00:37, 29 December 2006 (UTC)"

The idea that the term gender (that is, the idea that at least some of the differences between the roles of men and women in society) is socially constructed, yet 'sex' (i.e. that any differences between men and women are essentially biological), at the very least, looks like misogyny|misoginist]] POV bias of the worst kind. Any assistance arguing against the point would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, - AmishThrasher 08:30, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Project entry conditions
Hi Leon. In case you missed it, I seconded your concern about the apparent entry condition for WikiProject Rational Skepticism, and have now raised the issue at the WikiProject Council. Tim Smith 03:01, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

The Case for Christ
I saw that you were concerned that the The Case for Christ article was biased against Christianity and was hoping that you might review the current state of the article. I agree that previous incarnations of the article did have some elements that were not suitable for inclusion, but I think the article is up to quality now. I have rewritten some previous information on Challenging the Verdict that I think is NPOV because it sticks to only talking about what the author actually said. Would you please review it at your convenience and provide comments? Thanks! -SocratesJedi | Talk 01:17, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Fifth Melbourne meetup
The fifth meetup of Melbourne Wikipedians is being planned as a breakfast meeting in the city with Jimbo Wales (at a venue to be arranged) on Friday, 27 April 2007.

Jimbo has proposed breakfast as the one real window of opportunity during his tightly scheduled stay in Melbourne. Tbe precise time has to be sorted out with Jimbo, but the arrangements for the equivalent Adelaide meetup a few days before may give a good idea.

Feel free to edit the relevant page in any way that might be helpful. I feel like a bit of an interloper, not having attended previous meetups. If there's anything you can do to help, I'll be grateful. Please think about whether you'll be able to make it, assuming the arrangements are similar to those Adelaide is adopting (i.e. a block of time with people being fairly free to arrive when it suits them). Some indication on the page of your possible participation would be really helpful. Metamagician3000 06:08, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Sheerness‎ FAC
Hi. I'm sorry to bother you, but as a LoCE member, I just wondered if you would be willing to have a look through the Sheerness‎ article. It is currently a Featured Article Candidate and needs a copy-edit for grammar by someone who hasn't yet seen it. Any other ways to improve the article would also be welcome. Thank you very much, if you can. Epbr123 17:39, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
