| EJ801193.pdf describes who benefits from pedosteria, and quotes from the other materials I linked to.
| |
|
| |
| The_Cost_of_Homophobia discusses the suffering of gays from homophobia, and closely parallels pedo's problems - you can substitute "pedo" for "homosexual" in much of the article and it describes our problems exactly.

| BTW... there free are tools on the Web which (supposedly) take HTML markup and convert it to Wiki markup.
| |
|
| |
| Check the links here:

| |
|
| |
| I don't know if they work, how well they work, etc. You'll have to try them. They might make some of your "conversions" easier.

| RE: bmanolov.free.fr HTML to WIKI markup translation:
| |
|
| |
| I don't see it working at all - I tested it on some HTML, and it did nothing. Maybe javascript being disabled in my browser is the problem? When you tested it, did you ''really'' notice changes made to the text you entered in the "to convert" field? I didn't see any.

| Oh - one more thing. Did you recently get an email from me? Please confirm if you did or did not. You may choose to ignore my emails - that's your prerogative, and OK with me(?), but I ''would'' like to know if someone ''else'' is intercepting and deleting email sent to you. If so, I won't bother to email you any more.

| | It would be a good idea to review this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view |
|
| |
|
| Re: Sonia Poulton... You can't have a discussion with these types of fanatics. Pas vaut la peine.
| | In short, the neutrality of point of view leads to an objective, "scientific" discourse, whereas non-neutrality leads to one-sided views and propaganda. |
|
| |
|
| | An important point is perhaps to understand that specific sympathies are not incompatible with a neutral point of view: you can like a country, a person, an amorous preference, and nevertheless be able of an objective discourse about it. |

|
| Yes, I got your email but that is one thing you should know about me. I am slow to respond, I don't like writing letters, or talking on the phone. I use to have a house phone but it was a waste because I refused to answer the thing. I do respond to my email, it just takes me a long time because I need to be really bored and in the mood.

| | |
| I'm in the middle of a ''lot'' of other things which are more important to me at this point. So many articles at BW need work that I don't really know where to begin. Of course, the place to start that is probably the most important is to make editing ''easy'' for new "scribes". I started that, but then got distracted by the other things I am working on elsewhere. Good, important stuff IMHO. Sorry about that. P~

| You should check this out:

| http://wikiwig.sourceforge.net/
| |
| | |
| WYSIWYG means "what you see is what you get"
| |
| | |
| If you can install this, editing should be a breeze for new editors.
| |
| | |
| OK, OK - now for your excuses about "I can't because... It is too difficult because... I don't want to because... etc. etc.
| |
| | |
| Come on, dude - if you had this, then new "scribes" (gawd, how I ''hate'' that term!) would be able to quickly and easily edit BW pages.

| What we need is this:
| |
| | |
| An "editing help" file that can be kept open in another tab or window, which has the possible markup in a TOC with a link to the section describing it, and a "return" link to the TOC.
| |
| | |
| Or do we have that already?
| |
| | |
| (... 5 minutes later)
| |
| | |
| I just went looking for "editing help". I know you gave me info on it, but I don't remember where. I tried under the [[help]] category, but it is not there. I checked under [[special categories]] but it is not there. I'm sure I can find it, but let me tell you - the average "scribe" would give up much sooner than I would! And then you'd be left with "one less scribe". People don't want to go on wild-goose chases. They want things easy to find, readily accessible, at their fingertips.

| | |
| That is what wiki software is supposed to do!!!

| | == To all BoyWiki users:Naming == |
|
| |
|
| I found what I had added:
| | The convention for naming pages is that articles should be singular whereas categories should be plural. |
|
| |
|
| https://en.boywiki.org/wiki/Full_list_of_wiki_markup_notation
| | *Names of topics and topic categories should be singular, normally corresponding to the name of a BoyWiki. article. Examples: "Law" (which represents a body of knowledge), "France", "George W. Bush". |
|
| |
|
| I'll guess at a correct link:
| | *Names of set categories should be plural. Examples: "Writers", "Villages in Poland". |
|
| |
|
| [[Full_list_of_wiki_markup_notation]] | | However, I am willing to hear counter arguments to this practice or suggestions before deciding what the policy should be --[[User:Etenne|Etenne]] ([[User talk:Etenne|talk]]) 13:17, 25 March 2015 (UTC) |
|
| |
|
| (NOTE: If I had what I'm talking about, I would not NEED to guess.)
| | :Just yesterday I noticed that Wikipedia has categories with a singular title, e.g. [[wikipedia:Category:Vagina]]. Also, there are some plural article titles, e.g.[[wikipedia:Jews]]. [[User:Lysander|Lysander]] ([[User talk:Lysander|talk]]) 15:13, 25 March 2015 (UTC) |
| | |
| It needs to have the extraneous info removed (Egyptian characters? We are unlikely to need those), put the markup code within the text, then have a "back to TOC" link for each one.

|
| |
| Let's see. There are a number of "steps" necessary for a wiki to have good content. First, there must be the basic information, which someone has to search for and find. Then a "basic" entry must be made, then the entry has to be "prettied up" with correct wiki markup, then it must be proofread, and then it is "finished" (barring the addition of new information).
| |
|
| |
| Now, which of the above steps requires a great deal of patience, skill, and (perhaps) some unusual abilities?
| |
|
| |
| *Proofreading for errors?
| |
|
| |
| *Prettying up the entry with markup?
| |
|
| |
| *Making the "basic" entry?
| |
|
| |
| *Or locating good material which could be included in the wiki?
| |
|
| |
| A "technician" can do the proofreading. He can do the "prettying up". He can do all the "donkey work".
| |
|
| |
| But ''finding'' the stuff for inclusion - now ''that'' takes something unusual, doesn't it? And without which, none of the "technicians" would have anything to do.
| |
|
| |
| Sure - all the steps are important. But having a record of a good site with a link to it, or having some important material (even in HTML markup, or otherwise deficient) is the first (and arguably, the ''most important'') step, wouldn't you agree?
| |
|
| |
| For example, someone might start a page, and include a link to an (unusual, because it is "boylove friendly") Encyclopedia of Homosexuality, then ''others'' could put descriptions of, and links to, the important, relevant articles.

|

| If you run into an editing conflict again, just hit save a second time and it will overwrite it.
| |
|
| |
| Part of the reason some of this stuff has not been updated in years is because I find writing "help pages" tedious and dull. I will try to review some of the pages but when it comes to this boring technical stuff, it doesn't hold my attention and I really have to force myself to read this stuff.

| I know that you are not a "techie" like some are. And that is fine.
| |
|
| |
| In future, if someone ever asks how to make a hyperlink here, please give them this information:
| |
|
| |
| <br>
| |
|
| |
| <code>'''Two tags are necessary to include on a page in order to make a link on a page that can be
| |
|
| |
| '''clicked on to ''another part'' of the article.'''
| |
|
| |
| <br>
| |
|
| |
| This is the ''first'' tag, the link to be clicked on:
| |
|
| |
| <NOWIKI>[[#CLICKME|CLICKME]]</NOWIKI>
| |
|
| |
| In the above, only the "CLICKME" will be visible in the page display. Put whatever you want
| |
|
| |
| instead of the CLICKME.
| |
|
| |
| <br>
| |
|
| |
| The ''following'' is the '''target''' in the article - the point that will be skipped to:
| |
|
| |
| <NOWIKI><span id="CLICKME"></span></NOWIKI>
| |
|
| |
| You must include whatever you used ''in the first tag'' ('''instead of''' the CLICKME) in the second tag.
| |
|
| |
| The target will ''only be visible'' in ''page-edit mode''. On the displayed page it will be invisible.
| |
| </code>
| |
|
| |
| <br>
| |
|
| |
| If you give them the above information, it may save them time.
| |
|
| |
| For example, in my case it would have saved me '''''OVER TWO HOURS''''' of mind-numbing effort. I think it cost me a few million brain neurons, too. :- )
| |
|
| |
| Wait - that is only ''two hours'' of the past 5 hours.
| |

| If you include the ''other'' time spent on trying to figure this out, it would be maybe '''20 or 30''' hours. And that is '''not''' an exaggeration!

| Since you've (apparently) got "ants in your pants" then, OK - go ahead and delete the ones currently flagged for deletion.
| |
|
| |
| Happy now? ;- )

|
| |
| Sheesh! I'll bet your apartment is ''so clean'', you could eat off of the floor!
| |
|

| |
|
| |
| You can eat off of the floor of ''my'' apartment.
| |
|
| |
| But not because it's so ''clean''.
| |
|
| |
| See, if you ate off of ''my'' floor, you'd leave it ''cleaner'' than it ''is now''.

To all users
It would be a good idea to review this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view
In short, the neutrality of point of view leads to an objective, "scientific" discourse, whereas non-neutrality leads to one-sided views and propaganda.
An important point is perhaps to understand that specific sympathies are not incompatible with a neutral point of view: you can like a country, a person, an amorous preference, and nevertheless be able of an objective discourse about it.
Only objectivity is credible. That's why it is vital for BoyWiki. We don't "promote", we explain and illustrate. --Etenne (talk) 12:25, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
Please ask yourself before hitting the post button
- Dose this have a cultural or historical relavance to boylove?
- By posting this are you going to make Etenne lose sleep?
To all BoyWiki users:Naming
The convention for naming pages is that articles should be singular whereas categories should be plural.
- Names of topics and topic categories should be singular, normally corresponding to the name of a BoyWiki. article. Examples: "Law" (which represents a body of knowledge), "France", "George W. Bush".
- Names of set categories should be plural. Examples: "Writers", "Villages in Poland".
However, I am willing to hear counter arguments to this practice or suggestions before deciding what the policy should be --Etenne (talk) 13:17, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
- Just yesterday I noticed that Wikipedia has categories with a singular title, e.g. wikipedia:Category:Vagina. Also, there are some plural article titles, e.g.wikipedia:Jews. Lysander (talk) 15:13, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
- You can't figure out what those two (obvious, at least, to me) errors are due to? Uh... You certainly make up in glibness what you lack in perspicacity. User4 (talk) 02:37, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
- Enlighten me. Lysander (talk) 03:16, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
- Hey! You didn't enlighten me about what those two errors are due to. Lysander (talk) 04:10, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
