''word''
Hmm. Why is that "better"?
[[user4]]
I don't know... it says that in the instruction manual. my guess is that it has to do with the software and how it creates a page. The wiki environment wants wiki code:)

What? Just because you ''run'' this place, you think you ''run this place''?

Now that you have added the  [[Cheat sheet‎]] you need to edit it to make it compatible with BoyWiki. That is excellent practice in getting to know how things work.

"Nothing posted on the Internet ever disappears forever."
Hmm... Now I see that ''that'' bit of ''everyday knowledge'' is wrong, too. ;-)
I also see why 'scribes' have a hard time. It ''is'' a bit complicated, the editing of wiki articles. I can see how many become quickly disheartened...
OK - I'll work on that page. When I figure out where it is, and what can be one...
Oh, and how was your pizza? I was busy backing-up several hundred articles I am involved with preparing for publishing on another site. Then I ran into those 'images', and decided to save most of that site to archive.is. Bernie now seems aware of its existence. Curious, that. (Any of those images useful for you to use in BoyWiki?) I am ''still'' doing the backing-up of those other articles. I'm not sure how many more to go. :- (
Oh, and that 'work-around' for editing Wikipedia? Bernie interested?
And that other Azov wiki suggestion - any thoughts?
'''''Talk to me, dude!'''''
How come four ' marks in front, and four ' marks in back don't give bold ''and'' italic?
CORRECTION: I got it - it's ''five'' that works.
[[User:User4|User4]] 12:09, 1 March 2014 (GMT)
On Editing: that is why it is best just to start small when learning to edit. Newbies can always stick to just plain text.
Azov wiki = too big of a job and more trouble than I am prepared to deal with. I'll stick to one wiki:)
I did a little editing on your [[Cheat sheet‎]] page and added it to your [[:Category:Junktest‎]]

Ah! It's ''three'' that bolds. I'll bet we have that info somewhere. We need a "cheat sheet" for "scribes", don't we? And then the "scribes" should all read it, right?

Interesting study, which is somewhat relevant (parts are <em>very</em> relevant):
The Cost of Homophobia: Literature Review on the Human Impact of Homophobia On Canada by Christopher Banks

Those papers should be of interest to you, as they contain info relevant to your posts on BC as well as BoyWiki articles. I am not really asking anything...
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.
Interesting pic here. Maybe you can track down the artist?

BTW... there free are tools on the Web which (supposedly) take HTML markup and convert it to Wiki markup.
Check the links here:
https://www.google.de/search?hl=de&source=hp&biw=&bih=&q=online+convert+html+wiki+markup
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.
Hope you are feeling better.
Don't take certain stuff too seriously, OK? ;-)

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.
RE: Witch Hunt in UK
... that you posted about.
If you look at the other articles the author has published, it is clear that she is a demented "child saver" (she has a 15-year-old girl to "protect").
http://www.express.co.uk/search/Sonia+Poulton?s=Sonia+Poulton&b=1
I wonder if Sonia Poulton could be educated in the facts about CL? Perhaps she should be contacted by someone knowledgeable, and made aware of a few things? Could Bernie do that?
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.

Yes, when I tried it, it worked fine and changed the text from HTML to Wiki markup.
==To all users==
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.
Only objectivity is credible. That's why it is vital for BoyWiki. We don't "promote", we explain and illustrate. --[[User:Etenne|Etenne]] ([[User talk:Etenne|talk]]) 12:25, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

So how are you coming along on learning to wiki?
== To all BoyWiki users:Naming ==


--[[User:Etenne|Etenne]] 11:15, 10 March 2014 (GMT)
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".


''So how are you coming along on learning to wiki?''
*Names of set categories should be plural. Examples: "Writers", "Villages in Poland".


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~
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)

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.
 
Now, tell me how ''that'' would not be useful! P~
 
Now I'm back to looking for an "online wiki WYSIWYG editor" because waiting for BW pages to re-load is ''so so so fucking slow''!

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.

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.

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)
