User talk:Leonig Mig

Welcome!

Hi, Leonig Mig, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the five pillars of Wikipedia. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page.

Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

• If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
• You can sign your name using three tildes, like ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
• You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
• If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
• If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
• If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing.

High praise

Thank you so much for your kind words on my talk page. I am deeply touched.—Theo (Talk) 3 July 2005 18:05 (UTC)

I feel that your behaviour towards me is becoming increasingly agersive; and that you are unfair in the way you describe my editing. I have previosuly advised you on Wikipedia policies on such matters, and you have apologised for being uncivil. I am at a loss to understand why you continue to behave like this. Accordingly, I invite you to comment on any concerns that you may have; or to use mediation. Andy Mabbett 6 July 2005 13:02 (UTC)

Oh the irony! Leonig Mig

Userpage images

The images on your user page are absolutely stunning! Did you upload them yourself? If you did, I strongly advise you to put {{gfdl}} or a similar copyright tag on them to prevent them from being deleted. The Wikipedia no longer tolerates fair use images and images with uncertain copyright status.

Secondly, I encourage you to take more images like this, and upload them to the commons so everyone can benefit from them.  :-) --Ardonik.talk()^* July 7, 2005 18:36 (UTC)

Neitzsche and Romanticism

You have to excuse my sluggishness to answer, there was a counteractive technicality for my connectivity between the main network, but it has apparently been restored to my (our) benefit and procession.-- Now--I disagree with your amiss experimentation (there was no attempt at consultation in the discussion page of the main article first to establish any valid indication of your hypothesis's truth) for the sake of luring sharp-eyed wikipedians notwithstanding--I will all the more gladly delimitate a general vignette (perhaps bordering as parody, however, it is suitable enough here) on N along with his opposition to romanticism as he perceived it during his life but without a great deal of detail (for that I could no more strongly exhort you to read Nietzsche: Philosopher, Psychologist, Antichrist by Walter Kaufmann, an immeasurably valuable introduction and clarification to N's philosophical thought as a whole, and indeed other works penned by him are of significant interest). As noted, N's rudimentary anti-romantic traits (indeed, romanticism is to him associated with the "impoverishment of life"--read The Gay Science, section 370, for just this point) extend back to the daybreak of his philosophical work and are the very soil wherein his deprecations against factitious Christianity sprouted, as he saw it, wherein he argued that it had reverted Jesus's teachings (for whom N actually lauds therefor) of his practice (not faith) into an exultation of a double-standard of faith (viz., the creation of 'Christ') in another world that thus deplored the present state of existence and at worst manifested into ressentiment and other such nuances of truly un-Christian notions (e.g., faith versus reason as Luther clearly exonerated the case for the former, which N vehemently censured in favour of reason). That is to say more clearly, N did not at all find genuine Christianity (in accordance with J's teachings) to blame nor did he exhume it as a depreciation of existence, only the Christianity that had developed into something quite the contrary thereof did he find offensive and absolutely reprehensible. As for his repudiation of Wagner, N openly accorded to himself in Ecce Homo how he earlier misunderstood Wagner and made his departure when W permitted himself to the sway of public opinion and produced Parsifal, a thoroughly romantic piece. With that N decided to make leave of him, and in spite of their break N was still deeply affected by their friendship and valued it highly thereafter. This is an all-too-brief sketch that does not allow a grasp of his thought (again, read Kaufmann's book), but it nevertheless provides a sense of how N approached some issues that were very significant for him.-- It is advisable that all of N's published literature is read as well as the above suggestion written by Kaufmann (including his other works on N) as a prerequisite even to declare one has quaffed a minim of understanding and thus to begin exposition in lieu of a well-informed background on N.--Glyphonhart 7 July 2005 04:21 (UTC)

I am rather new, so this came to you quite late, but I had written it before without realising it needs to be placed here (much thanks to RJC for that). I hope this suites well.--Glyphonhart 8 July 2005 01:13 (UTC)

Thanks very much for your comments. I shall endeavour to search out the Kaufmann book at some point. Leonig Mig 19:28, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

Motorway service stations

Just to answer your comments, I don't see how you can combine the merge and delete votes. I say that because those are 2 separate votes in this case. The delete vote is designed to take all of these off of Wikipedia. The merge vote is designed to merge it into existing articles. These are not the same thing. So that's why my decision was what it was. I am not "supporting" these stubs. If you think that's how closing vfds works, then I don't think you quite understand how the process works. I close these votes with as much neutrality as possible. Should these articles be on Wikipedia? Probably not. But I have to go by the vote, not by my personal beliefs. --Woohookitty 23:06, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Amusing Accusation

Leonid Mig loves Andy Mabbett :-) Will you two guys chill out, leave yer keyboard ferra few hours and go and get laid! -Anon.

• LOL, amusing. Well I can certainly assure you my sex life is fulfilling enough as it is. Regards Andy Mabbett, well, perhaps I should come clean. My edits against his are done purely for the purpose of stalking him. Trust me they are done with a sense of good humour (this is the internet after all), but for a serious purpose too. I first came across him bullying other users and making some pretty far out irrational edits. I found him rude. Then he stalked me for a period of a week- after I posted on his user page he spent a period of 12 hours systematically "copyediting" each edit I have ever made - which I found irritating, but overall just very sad. I've been stalked before on the internet (I've been on a wide variety of community sites over the years) but I found him the most spiteful and petty person I have ever encountered. I saw his behavior towards many other users on the Eikipedia was much worse than how he treated me, and also noted the RFC process is a worthless waste of time. With this in mind I decided to become a wikimercenary, acting towards him in the same way he treats everyone else. Yes at time I have felt as if I was amusing myself, I made myself laugh at the pettyness of the edit wars and the politics of VFDs and the like. However, the only aim of the whole thing has been to make the man realise he's acting like a cunt to other people and try and make him get the message to cut it out. I failed. Thanks for noticing thought. :) Leonig Mig 23:50, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
