hi rama

what up how are you

Rock the casbar!

Ayn Rand cult article censored

03:27, 25 April 2006 Tawker deleted "Ayn Rand cult". No reason was given as to why the article was censored. [1] Any idea why? Content can be found here. -Dna4salE 05:47, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't know. I think that "g1" is probably an abreviations, but of what ? Beats me. Rama 07:46, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Image:EPFL pince 2.jpg - What is this?

Can you add a bit more description to this image you uploaded to Commons in 2004? I don't know what EPFL is; it looks like a building, but is it a school, a theater, or what? Where is it? When did you take it? I'm trying to categorize it, and this would greatly help. Thanks for all your great work. JesseW, the juggling janitor 02:55, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Now that's a good question ! :)

The EPFL is, well the EPFL. As to what this 20-metre-ish red cloth-pin-look-alike thing is, it is left to conjecture. I sort of assume that it is meant to be artistic, in a way.

Beside, the photo was taken with a cell phone, I should have better ones in store (and some processing right now, taken from below with a 17mm lense).

Thanks and cheers ! Rama 17:31, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Your inapropriate comment on my talk page.

I have never on Talk:Charlemagne called anyone stupid.I merely carefully questioned the historical knowledge of my fellow debater when he/she continued to deny rock hard facts.

I take a strong stand against nationalism.The thing is that I strive towards an honest wikipedia, to often I come along articles in which the history, importancy of the people of little countries is pushed aways as unimportant and I fight for that voice, and with succes.

An example is for example the Holy Roman Empire-article.Not so long ago there were 2 history infoboxes present.The Austrian and the German one.I added the Dutch one (after looking for the Historyboxes/templates of many other countries who had a right to be there too) as the Netherlands were a vital part of the HRE as well. It was removed.Why?Editers, ironicly from Germany, thought it didn't have enough "right" or importance.After a long and in the bitter discussion, the box was added. (all 3 Infoboxes were removed in the end because they messed up the article, but that's not the point)

This behaviour, can be interpreted as nationalism, but it isn't.

The so-called "flag waving", as you call it, on my userpage is inexistant.I found 2 images which could be interpreted as nationalistic, while both were meant as humour.Don't lie and say you didn't see that.

Please in the future refrain from posting comments like these on my talkpage as they are not apropriate. Rex Germanus Tesi samanunga is edele unde scona 18:35, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

You did that by producing most occurences of the word "stupid" on the talk page. I do not need you to apologise, I just need you to stop. Rama 20:58, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Look I'm not going to argue with you alright, and I was certainly not planning on apologizing to you ,I mean who do you think you are my mother? I wanted to make clear that I do not need comments like yours on my talkpage when they contain false accusations. Good day to you sir. Rex Germanus Tesi samanunga is edele unde scona 21:16, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

To make things perfectly clear, I am a Wikipedia sysop. I do not mean to protect you from something, I mean to protect Wikipedia from you. So please be civil in the future, or you will face sanctions. Rama 23:37, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

I know what you are and what you are/were trying to do, I just want to make clear that in this case it was inappropriate, so "protecting wikipedia from me" is not neccesairy, as was the comment on my talkpage.I'm not some troll and I certainly do not wish to be treated as such, I am here to enhance and improve wikipedia, and if my boldness dominates my civility a little bit then so be it, it's like I'm here to fight or seek conflict,no, I'm here to help. Rex Germanus Tesi samanunga is edele unde scona 08:47, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

If you are not a troll, you will kindly behave yourself and interact politely and reasonably with your fellow users. This includes not insulting them, and not trying to enforce your personal ides against general consensus.

I regret to say that the contrary will just get you blocked, and nobody has anything to gain by this. So please be more conciliating. Rama 17:22, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

All I have left for you, as you seem closed to other opinions is the following qoutation:

Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.

• John Adams

Rex Germanus Tesi samanunga is edele unde scona 18:23, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

I have no "opinion", I just happen to frown at stubborn users who insult other users and engage in revert wars, like most admins will do. Rama 18:26, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry Rama, you can have the last line in this conversation. Rex Germanus Tesi samanunga is edele unde scona 18:36, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Love your drawings

as you've done one on tribadism do you think you could do a nice one for frot too? pretty please with a cherry on top? :) Sweetie Petie 10:59, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Gladly. Rama 12:46, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Aww that's so kind of you :) I look forward to seeing your creation. Sweetie Petie 13:00, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey thanks for doing that... you're the greatest. Not the position I'd be doing it in but a brilliant illustration none the less. Sweetie Petie 08:32, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Well I've been scratching my forehead for a while before I deciding which position to use. Ideally, I would have used a photograph... if you happen to have one, I might be able to do something more convincing. Cheers ! Rama 10:01, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Hans Blix???

Greetings - not sure what the right protocol is here, but I would appreciate your attention to the article on Hans Blix, which you have previously edited. A user insists on inserting a section on False Statements that I think is clearly appropriate. Rather than just removing it (again), I hope to bring a few more cool heads into the discussion.

thanks much,

Steve/ User:67.172.157.77 (Unsigned)

He did this to my page too. Very strange, and I don't know if asking others to defend you is allowed under Wikipedia policy. And the page itself is in total disarray.

Meh. Whatever. Logical2u 19:42, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THE TITLE THING SO THIS WILL HAVE TO DO

Rama you should do some flipbook type stuff with your rough sketches for your iaido and for sex positions and post it on a page so we can print it out and make into a flipbook of our own. That would be pretty sweet. It would help with knowing what to do with my wife, we do not always get it right with the descriptions, and would a lot better if we had a flip book to go through. : !

I will not be accountable if you try iaido tricks in bed with your wife, lover, pet or anything. Rama 07:50, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

lol I'l be gentle with my wife. Wow my title looks pretty dorky... feel free to change it if you like.

copyright question

Hi, I want to use an image of a chemical compound for the article Arbitol (I am still writing it) from the following website: http://ctd.mdibl.org/voc.go?voc=chem&termUI=arbidol There is a link on the bottom of the page titled "Legal Notices", so when you go there,it takes you to copyright permissions, etc. It says: "The Comparative Toxicogenomics DatabaseTM (CTDTM) is provided to enhance knowledge and encourage progress in the scientific community. It is to be used only for research and educational purposes. Any reproduction or use for commercial purpose is prohibited without the prior express written permission of The Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory." So, would Wikipedia be considered commercial enterprise or educational one? Can I use the picture of the compound (it is just a structural formula) or not??

thanks!

p.s. I am getting better at this copyright thing!! :)

Svetlana Miljkovic 15:50, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

It is tricky, but it would be safer not to, because of the "only for research and educational", and "Any reproduction or use for commercial purpose is prohibited..." ; actually, Wikipedia does have commercial aspects.

I think that the best thing would be

1) to write an email to this site and ask them whether they would consider releasing this image under the GFLD or CC-by-sa ;

2) alternatively, request a schema of this molecule to be made by our graphics team. This is better, because the image will be "free enough" to go on Commons, for where it can be used on all wikipedias.

Cheers ! Rama 16:43, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:International Brigades monument berlin.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:International Brigades monument berlin.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 07:04, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

One person is now in a better Realm

Greetings. I am HRE's cousin. I have a sad news to announce (as per his brother's wish) - my dear brother-by-aunt is no more in the world of the living... It pains me enough to write this - so I'm just going to point you to HRE's talk page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:HolyRomanEmperor#As_per_Your_.28Our.29_brother.27s_request. His brother says that HRE was very said that he didn't get to know such a great person as yourself. --Sad News 21:01, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Charlemagne

I suggest you try to get a better understanding of the situation before you draw your conclusions. That way you 'll surely get my understanding in advance. (no offence) I replied to you on my talk page, your comment was moved to the history section. Rex 11:47, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

My understanding of the situation is based on the history of the article [2], where I see you reverting no less than 5 other users in the last week. I am not the only one who would appreciate if you could adopt another mode of discussion. Rama 11:54, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

You know what Rama, we'll do the following. As from this moment I'll adopt another method of discussing and resolving resputes, and if it ends in better results I'll keep it, but this doesn't mean I accept the page on charlemagne as it is now. Rex 17:48, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Now, that's the spirit ! Rama 22:38, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

fr. LaRouche

Good work on the LaRouche topics at fr.wikipedia. Thanks for attending to them. We've found that enthusiasts can skew the articles not only about LaRouche, but also about a wide variety of historical, political, and economic topics. User:Will Beback/LaRouche topics is a listing of many topics of interest to those in the group.

We have a small amount of information on .en about Jacques Cheminade, also in LaRouche Movement. If there's anything you can add or correct, it'd be appreciated. Cheers, -Will Beback 09:24, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Peacekeeping

Rama, I noticed that you contributed to the peacekeeping article in December. You seemed concerned about the poor quality of the article. I have significantly overhauled the article (as a draft on a subpage) and would like to know what you think. You can find it at Talk:Peacekeeping/Sandbox. If you know anyone else who is concerned about the article, please let them know too. Thanks. --Tjss(Talk) 21:07, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Front National (France)

Hi, you reverted my changes on the Front National article. The claims made there do not follow from the text in the sources provided... Intangible 15:25, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Don't they ? Rama 15:59, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

• [3] talks only about "en marge d’une manifestation du Front national." Guilty by association. Where does it say these people were FN activists? Intangible 16:18, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
• [4] only the lawyer of the victim is talking here, not a good source.
• [5] does not talk about the Front National.
• [6] does not bring Beaune in connection with the Front National.

Intangible 16:18, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

• So what ?

If they are not FN activists they should not be included in the FN article. This would constitute a guilty by association POV.

• No it does not.

Huh? So whatever lawyers are saying is necessarily true?

• So what ?

Indeed, it only talks about Beaune.

• So what ? Rama 16:42, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

See (1). Intangible 16:50, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

The references allow to confirm other elements which are mentionned in the article, and I do not undertand why you focus on these ones particularly.

The article in which you say "only the lawyer of the victim is talking here" was in fact not written by him ; it contains a grat deal of other information, and the quotation of the lawyer is only a small part of it. Rama 17:47, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Because a claim is made that these people have a relationship with the FN in the Front National (France) article. I have not seen the evidence for that in these above articles, have you? If they have not, it should be removed from the FN article. Intangible 18:20, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

The articles very plainly say that the incident occurred in connection with a FN event. Rama 18:24, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

It does not say that. It only says those people were present at a public manifestion of the FN. Where does it say these people where FN activists? Intangible 18:47, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
