Hi everyone. I am a South African academic, I teach law at a university in Cape Town, and my research interests currently lie in rhetoric and logic, race, legal theory, and legal pedagogy. I also participate as a curator and producer in arts projects relating to sound art, music, carnival and indigenous culture.

I especially hope to contribute to articles on South African law, since there don't seem to be many at the moment.

Please say hi, especially if you share interests!

Ted Beaudoin - Donating 3 key chapters of my aviation history / biography / adventure book (on WWII operation known as RAF Ferry Command) to Wikipedia
By way of introduction, I am Ted Beaudoin, a 67-year old (on Nov. 27, 2007) freelance writer and amateur aerospace - aviation history buff in Laval, QC, Canada – a suburb immediately north of Montréal.

I wish to donate to the Wikipedia section dealing with RAF Ferry Command – and later to whatever sections exist on Air Canada and Canadian Pacific Air Lines - three complete chapters about Ferry Command, fully extracted from my first aviation-adventure-biography-history book.

To establish my credentials:

The title and ISBN of my book are: Title: Walking on Air ISBN: 0-921531-00-1 CIP - Cataloguing in Publication, Canada, Type and size – Quality paperback, 300 pages Published: 1986 Paramount House Publishing Ltd., Vernon, B.C., Canada.

Paramount is no longer in business. I am the full owner of © in clear and unfettered title to the contents of the book. I will be re-issuing it soon as a new book, expanded by 100+ pages and will feature never-before-published photographs, perhaps with the same title, but if different, under one of two working titles: As Luck Would Have It … And Did, or as Earth Angels. Further, I have committed to donate the entire contents of Walking on Air to Project Gutenberg, a project on which I have now started to complete. It will run concurrently with progress that I make if my donation to Wikipedia is viewed as legitimate, citable, and accepted.

The new book will also form the basis for my first commercial-and-for-profit 3-hour long dramatic military – civilian aviation adventure movie which will bear a new title to differentiate it from its foundation book: Earth Angels Rising.

I am concurrently blocking out the synopses for both the book and its accompanying movie scenario and script.

Before I go any further, there are a couple of things I think you should know about Walking on Air. The book is no longer in print. I have one of the few remaining copies. It sold nearly 5,000 copies – most of them west of Winnipeg, Manitoba, when first published: almost making it a Canadian best-selling quality paperback book, but not quite. Some copies remain around the world, and are still available for sale from various private book collectors.

I am donating the relevant chapters on Ferry Command (Chapters 7, 8 and 9 – Pages 175 – 228) in Walking on Air as the start of my own personal tribute to the thousands of yet-to-be-fully-recognized men and women in North America and elsewhere – all unsung civilian heroes of the first cut who came to the rescue of all of the Allied Armed Forces during the early and extremely dangerous stages of World War II – when civilian power pulled an interesting twist on who helps who when push comes to shove – the military helping civilians or civilians helping the military: In this case, civilians in many countries came to the aid of military might to help defeat what was then considered world-domineeering Axis powers of Germany and Japan.

I am putting a very human face on our world’s commercial and military aviation history, one that’s been missing for some time.

I want to make this contribution to help these living and now-deceased civilians receive formal thanks and help secure for them some kind of suitable public recognition from free world governments before they all die unheralded.

If all I succeed with my proposed donation to Wikipedia and to Project Gutenburg is provide at least a previously-unpublished and therefore new one-man tribute to them then I will have merited a JWD – Job Well Done: thus the pseudonym as the author of the expanded book and movie, and my e-mail address, J.W. Dunn – jwdunn@sympatico.ca.

With my contribution recognizing some of them and their incredible efforts, these World War II civilians, their families today and their colleagues can now stand tall and proud of having helped this planet survive a vicious unprovoked attack on the very freedoms which I and my children so fully enjoy today. I have never known war. I grew up in Canada in complete and safety from any harm since my birth in 1940.

The major difference, it seems, between the mauraders of yesterday and today’s just-as-frightening terrorism - in whatever name or cause - is simple … we knew the enemy then. We do not know the enemy today. The terrorists of yesteryear were clear in their mission: global conquest. Today’s terrorists only want to destroy and not replace what they destroy with anything better.

We enjoy our freedoms today in the free world thanks to the superb human effort of WW II civilians in coming to the rescue of their Allied Governments and their Allied Armed Forces. The military forces of the Allies then took up the cudgel, blending military and civilian crews from all walks and professions of life. They made possible the greatest air movement the world has ever seen – and hopefully will never need to see again - of nearly 20,000 + aircraft (including 10,000+ bombers) in less than four running years, straight out of American aircraft manufacturing plants where they were made to where they were badly needed the most - over the African / European and Asian theatres of war. (I will be using British English as a writing / spelling standard since this story does come from Canada.)

In closing my submission, I wonder: would donating the entire three chapters on Ferry Command be too much material to include in the web pages of Wikipedia? Perhaps your medium cannot accommodate my offer. Could you advise me please of (1) the viability of my offer, and (2), if acceptable, the work itself?

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I would be more than happen to send to any Wikipedia administrator (yes, I have scanned the welcome pages as thoroughly as I could … good reading, by the way) my current curriculum vitae.

Sincerely, Ted Beaudoin, 4710 Chemin du Souvenir, Laval, QC- H7W 1C8 Tel.: 450 – 978-5250.

The Founders Intent
I have a variety of interests, but notably colonial history of America and government, aviation, automobiles, and politics.

My username obvious comes from the premise that the US Constitution as originally conceived by the Founders was basically timeless, but these well-read and well educated men understood the governments of the world and throughout history. They based their choice for the US not primarily on a particular time in history but on the character of men throughout history. They understood well the tendency toward corruption, and attempted to build a constitution to overcome this tendency to the maximum extent possible.

I would also like to be able to help however small to build and improve the accuracy of this online encyclopedia. Contact me anytime if you find a topic in my profile that I can help you with.--The Founders Intent 17:58, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

CALLLING ALL PATRIOTS: to Discover the Spirit of America!
Hi,

I am a Patriot who works at the National Museum of Patriotism headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. I am here mainly to give interesting facts about the National Museum of Patriotism and to keep you updated with all the patriotic happenings. Not all patriots are cool like ourselves but we tend to like America for what she is. Our definition of a Patriot is anyone who makes America a better place to live. By educating yourselves on Patriotism and by practicing good patriotic habits, hopefully, you'll identify yourselves as Patriots. Welcome to the club and see you soon at the National Museum of Patriotism in Atlanta or, at the very least, visit our website often. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Graduatey2k (talk • contribs) 20:05, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Amit Jain
Hi my name is Amit Jain, I am working with Indian software MNC Polaris Software Lab. I have used Wikipedia extensively, mostly guided to it through Google. Now a days whenever I want to know anything about anything, i just go to google and type that thing and append the word wikipedia to it and it takes me directly to the world of wikipedia. Even when I am watching a movie on my laptop and i dont understand anything, i pause the movie , go to wikipedia read about the movie and then start watching again. Wikipedia is amazing thing happened in this decade.

I am interested in field of Information technology companies working in BFSI(Banking ,Finance,Services, Insurance) , my company is also in same category so I have fair idea of this field , so can contribute but will need some one guidance in doing so or an experienced editor to help me start in that direction.

I am also interested in movies and article related to country India.

What makes Wikipedia so special, in my view, is its self-governance and user driven content. Wikipedia is sea of knowledge :-)

Pallida Mors 76
Greetings! I have been a reader of Wikipedia for a long time. Now I'm finding my way arround here to make some edits/contributions. I find it useful and fun.

I'm an economist, pursuing a PhD program. The theoretical economic field I know more about is Game Theory, though I find myself confortable in any microeconomic topic. I hope I could make some contributions in those areas, specially when I have some more time.

I love to make my bit at the reference desk, whenever I can. I'm able to handle some math stuff, as well as Spanish language questions.

Forgive me any mistake or inappropiate actions I could make here; surely that may happen on ignorance, but not out of bad faith. Pallida Mors  03:51, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi everyone,

I have just joined this interesting and diverse network. I have been an avid follower of Wiki for quite some time and figured that I should become a member. I write and produce many reports and eBooks all relating to Internet marketing. Also My partner and I have produced several digital software programs that truly benefit all who wish to seek making a tidy living fron online marketing. My work relating to Online marketing has taken me to Russia several times. It was there that we had many of our programs developed. The lads in Russia are hard working and very dedicated to their work and their expertise is equal (if not better)to those of the western world. I would highly recommend them. I shall be searching through this interesting resource and offering, as much as seeking, advice on the variable areas of online marketing.

If you have any questions regarding this subject then please don't hestite to drop me a note. I look forward to meeting many other readers.

Regards to all

Hi, My name user name is Pikmin_7890, as you could see, and I am a huge fan Of pikmin. If you ever visited or "Quiztron.com" or "Quizfarm.com" and searched Pikmin quizzes, than you probably would have seen a quiz I made about Pikmin. I also invented an idea for pikmin 3 that is still under editing but can be seen in "Quizilla.com" under "User name: Pikmin_789" and then under "creations". Although, Nintendo has declined my offer fro the idea so it will not become an official game. Another thing is that I love drawing Pikmin cartoons and flip animations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.4.157.77 (talk) 03:02, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi all, I've been using wikipedia occasionally over the last year, after a friend told me about it. I work in Canada as a Systems Analyst, but my interests in wikipedia will cover topics like: wind energy, telescopes / astronomy, climate science, plus anything else that grabs my attention. I always enjoy browsing through the Discussion page behind an article and am always impressed (mostly) by how civilized we can be and together produce such a powerful repository of knowledge.
