Quelle chimère est-ce donc que l’homme?
Quelle nouveauté, quel monstre, quel chaos, quel sujet de contradiction, quel prodige!
Juge de toutes choses, imbécile de ver de terre, dépositaire du vrai, cloaque d'incertitude et d'erreur, gloire et rebut de l'univers.

―Blaise Pascal

Quelle vanité que la peinture qui attire l'admiration par la ressemblance des choses dont on n'admire point les originaux.

―Blaise Pascal

S'il se vante, je l'abaisse ;
s'il s'abaisse, je le vante,
et le contredits toujours,
jusqu'à ce qu'il comprenne,
qu'il est un monstre incompréhensible.

―Blaise Pascal

Assistance??

Hi Silence...enjoy reading some of your critical feedback. Was hoping I might be able to get some of your feedback and editorial assistance on Conservation Biology. Thanks!! Thompsma (talk) 05:34, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Wiki strategy

If you want to make sweeping changes the easy way...without confrontation...stress free ...then create a new article. This strategy has been done before and it does work. Cheers! Wassupwestcoast (talk) 19:52, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Of course, you know this! I just read your user page. Cheers! Wassupwestcoast (talk) 19:54, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

I began an extremely rough attempt at this at User:Silence/Introduction to evolution. However, clearly much more work is needed, and sadly my time is limited. My intention was to simply de-list Introduction to evolution for its current faults, then begin the radical revisions, and re-FA it once its new form gets approved. This would allow more experimentation and creative brainstorming, without leaving faults on an FA article which we have not decided on the best solution for yet. However, if you really think I should simply begin the massive changes now, I will attempt it... be careful what you wish for. :] -Silence (talk) 21:45, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Moral support for 'Introduction to Evolution'

Hi,

I had reverted your deletion/edit in good faith but seeing your body of work and the arguments against the course of action I proposed, I reverted the undo myself.

I just wanted to give you my vote of support for the large and difficult task. All the best to you in this endeavour of yours.

Unable to edit

Can you tell me why I cant edit now after 4 days and 10 edits? I cant edit semi-protect pages, are you or an admin can help out? Is it cause of filter log? Vazgen4 (talk) 20:16, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

I made a request to allow editing in semi-protect pages, somebody told me of Tor Network? I dont use that, I use regular connections. So what is this filter log, is this why? Vazgen4 (talk) 20:43, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Akha image (technical)

Hey Silence, any idea why such a small image is 368 KB? It is a burden on those with slower connections. Rivertorch (talk) 18:49, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

When I cropped the image from File:Akha couple.JPG a while back, I saved it as a .png just as a caution against losing any quality. That explains the large size. Feel free to resave as .jpg, that will greatly reduce the file size. -Silence (talk) 20:57, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Mystery move

You moved K2 (mountain) to K2. Why is that? --The High Fin Sperm Whale (talk) 00:29, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Pretty simple: There was no page for K2. K2 redirected to K2 (mountain). Which is the same as simply calling the page 'K2', but longer and more circuitous. Either K2 (mountain) needed to be moved to K2, or K2 (disambiguation) needed to be moved to K2; I opted with the former choice, both because it was closer to the existing situation and because K2 (the mountain) seemed to be the most important entry on the dab page anyway (second-tallest mountain on Earth > obscure Japanese noise music bands and Italian TV channels). Furthermore, there are multiple mountains called "K2" (see Mount K2), so the name "K2 (mountain)", if it warranted a page, would actually have to be a dab page itself! (Fortunately, we can cover this just fine in the existing dab page.) -Silence (talk) 00:42, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

But wouldn't it be better to move K2 to K2 (mountain) and move K2 (disambiguation) to K2, and then have a notice on K2 (mountain) that said,

This page is about the South Asian mountain. For the mountain in Alberta, see Mount K2.

I think K2 (mountain) is more specific and less confusing than K2. --The High Fin Sperm Whale (talk) 03:35, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I am moving K2 back to K2 (mountain) (unless you have a good reason not to. If you do, write me a message.). --The High Fin Sperm Whale (talk) 18:50, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Now we have an even bigger problem! When I moved the page, I accidentally created separate pages for K2 and K2 (mountain). Both are identical, besides the name. --The High Fin Sperm Whale (talk) 19:07, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Edit warring on Talk:Human

Silence, this is getting old in a hurry. Either the page needs semi-protection or the IP range involved needs to be blocked. I requested the former an hour ago with no response yet. It seems like simple vandalism to me, but if you feel too involved to use your tools, could you maybe nudge a totally uninvolved admin? I'm going offline for a while very soon, and my watchlist is getting filled up with this junk. Rivertorch (talk) 11:20, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Its been dealt with. Tim Vickers (talk) 15:58, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Slowly but surely :) Rivertorch (talk) 19:33, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

But I speak too soon. They're baaaaaack. Rivertorch (talk) 19:34, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

I edited your page, just for the lolz, hope you like it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.13.9.40 (talk) 07:52, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

I do, thank you very kindly. :) And my apologies to the above users I haven't responded to, I've been fighting off human flu for the past week. -Silence (talk) 17:29, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Introduction to evolution

I guess you will notice in due course, but I thought I would alert you: your great changes to Introduction to evolution are being rolled back by some well intentioned editors. Johnuniq (talk) 06:31, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

SAIU Survey

Hey Silence, Can you take down the SAIU survey at User:Silence/Survey? Its purpose has been served and is long over, and I really don't like such personal information being publicly exposed on the internet for no purpose. Sincerely, Jared —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.159.131.174 (talk) 19:12, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Lord Chaitanya knows everything that happens in all three phases (past, present, and future, of time. He knows that in the future some demoni people will serve Lord Advaita.

Text 123

They will refer to Lord Advaita by the name "Shri Krishna". In this way they will reject the words of the true Vaishnavas.

Text 124

These sinners will thus disobey the devotees who affirm that Advaita is "the greatest Vaishnava".

Text 125

Many persons will consider themselves the followers of Lord Advaita, but they will not have the power to see how in the future they will be punished.

Text 126

Lord Chaitanya, the crest jewel of they who know everything, knew all this. Therefore He did something to try to stop this from happening.

Text 127

By punishing His mother, Lord Chaitanya showed the result that comes from offending Lord Advaita or any other Vaishnava.

Text 128

No one can protect a person who has offended a Vaishnava.

Text 129

Therefore one should avoid persons who offend Vaishnava.

Text 130

One should avoid an offender, even if the offender is otherwise very qualified. A little association with an offender will make one fall down.

Text 131

Who has the power to understand why the Lord gives punishment? By punishing His mother, He taught everyone.

Text 132

Anyone who blasphemes they who use the word `Vaishnava" to address Lord Advaita will be punished. He will perish.

Text 133

Lord Chaitanya is theSupreme Personality of Godhead, the master of all. To be called His follower is very great praise.

Text 134

Without any intention to deceive, Lord Chaitanya openly said that Lord Nityananda is the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself.

Text 135

By Lord Nityananda's mercy I know Lord Chaitanya. By Lord Nityananda's mercy I know the Vaishnavas.

Text 136

By Lord Nityananda's mercy offenses are destroyed. By Lord Nityananda's mercy one attains devotion to Lord Vishnu.

Text 137

Blasphemy directed to Lord Nityananda's servants never enters my mouth. Day and night I happily sing Lord Chaitanya's glories

Text 138

I carefully serve Lord Nityananda's devotees. Lord Chaitanya is the life and wealth of Lord Nityananda's servants.

Text 139

A person who has only a little good fortune will not become Lord Nityananda's servant, for Lord Nityananda's servant is able to see Lord Chaitanya.

Text 140

Anyone who hears this story of Lord Visvarupa becomes a servant of the limitless Supreme Personality of Godhead. He feels that Lord Nityananda is his very life.

Text 141

Lord Nityananda and Lord Visvarupa do not have different bodies. This Mother Saci knew. Some other great souls also knew.

Text 142

Glory to Lord Nityananda, who takes shelter of Lord Chaitanya! Glory, glory to Lord Nityananda, who is thousand-faced Ananta Sesha!

Text 143

O Lord Nityananda, O king of Gauda-desa, glory to You! Who can attain Lord Chaitanya without first attaining Your mercy?

Text 144

Anyone who loses Lord Nityananda will not be happy in this life.

Text 145

Will I some day see Lord Chaitanya, Lord Nityananda, and their associates all thogether in one place?

Text 146

Lord Chaitanya is my master. With great faith and hope I meditate on Him within my heart.

Text 147

I bow down before Lord Advaita's feet. I pray that he will always be dear to me and that He will always stay in my thoughts.

Text 148

The two moons Shri Krishna Chaitanya and Shri Nityananda are my life and soul. I, Vrindavana dasa, sing the glories of Their feet.
