Welcome to en.Wikipedia

Hi Øyvind! Welcome to en:. - Hephaestos|§ 06:16, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Thank you, Hephaestos. Nice to be here. Wow, what an impressing number of articles in the English section. Amazing project, this wikipedia thing. Most people behave well, too. That is what impresses me the most... :-) -- Sunny256 07:24, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hey, another Norwegian, nice. I took the liberty of putting you on our list (trying hard to 'beat' the Swedes :-) Ten more 'norrbaggar' to go, and gaining...). --Wernher 02:29, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Vær hilset. That's a good thing, thank you. A good idea with a list of Norwegian wikipedians. I see there are some well-known names from the Norwegian wikipedia here. We'll try to keep up with the Swedish gang. -- Sunny256 06:29, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)

New user log

Hi, thanks for signing the new user log. Hope you have a good experience here whenever you wander over from the Norwegian Wikipedia. Isomorphic 07:41, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Oh yes, seems as there's always a party going on here in the English section... :-) Great activity all the time. -- Sunny256 08:30, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)

So, where do I place the answers?

Hmmm, one thing I'm wondering about... What is the correct behaviour — answering on this page, or the talk page of the other user? Answering here will without no doubt pass unnoticed, and answering on the other page will also be kinda misplaced. I'll keep it here to see what happens. -- Sunny256 08:30, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Some people put it both places. Of course there's an advantage to putting it on the other person's page, that way they get a notifier message. - Hephaestos|§ 18:10, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)

A "formula" used by some people in such situations is something like "Hi <user>, I like to keep talk in one place, so feel free to come along to my talk page. <signature>". --Wernher 02:23, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)

UTF-8 overlong sequences

Hi,

You put a note in the UTF-8 page back in March to the effect that reducing the UTF-8 range from 6 bytes to 4 bytes gets rid of the problem of overlong sequences. In fact I do not believe this is true, but I'm willing to be enlightened if there's something I'm missing!

For example, E0 8E B1 is an overlong encoding for α (alpha) (correct: CE B1) and it doesn't use any of the new invalid characters. Celada 03:24, 2004 Nov 24 (UTC)

Yes, it seems you are right. I got the impression that this was the case in a discussion on the linux-utf8 mailing list, I don't remember the actual thread.

I have removed the section you refer to, and I tried to find the reason why RFC3629 limits the sequence length from six to four bytes, but haven't been able to find anything. I'll add a note about this on the UTF-8 talk page

Thanks for finding this incorrect information. -- sunny256 2004-12-06

Inclusion not Deletion

(AIW) can you take a look at Wikipedia "apartheid"? There is a movement to delete a two-word inclusion that is fact and true. It's gotten to the point that everyone is focused on the disputing editors and not the edit itself.

Deletionists are disputing the following statement: "South Africa was settled initially by the Dutch, Germans and French from the 17th century onwards. English, other European settlers, and Diaspora Jews followed in the 19th century." This statement is true, and it therefore should not be deleted.69.217.125.53 15:10, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks!69.217.123.174 19:10, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I was also spammed with this, it is not an inclusionist/deletionist issue, it's an edit war. — PhilHibbs | talk 08:31, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Self-references

I'm sure your recent edits at Criticism of Wikipedia were well-intentioned, but I think they are wrong. They are links out of the encyclopedia space. If the article is copied elsewhere, we want them to still work correctly. The way you've changed them, they won't. I'm going to use rollback to revert it, because I have a slow connection. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:00, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I thought they were wrong because it was only three links which were written as external URLs. If it’s meant to be placed elsewhere, maybe all the other links also should be written as external? -- Sunny256|✎ 13:55, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Proposal on Notability

Because you're a member of the Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians, I'm notifying you that the inclusionist proposa Wikipedia:Non-notabilityl is in progress to define the role of notability in articles. Please help us make this successful! Also note the proposal Wikipedia:Importance is a deletionist proposla that seeks to officially introduce notabiltiy for the first time. --Ephilei 04:45, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Creation-evolution controversy

Hi, you recently added a section to this article and I've brought it up for discussion here. While I appreciate the link, and think we can find a way to use it, I've expressed opposition to the section in general. I wanted you to know so you can visit the page and express your thoughts on the subject. Thanks, and happy editing. Doc Tropics 07:42, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for dropping a note about it, I'll check it out. I do agree with your POV, and I'll see if there is some other way we can use it. -- Sunny256|✎ 16:52, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Wikimania 2010 could be coming to Stockholm!

I'm leaving you a note as you may be interested in this opportunity.

People from all six Nordic Wiki-communities (sv, no, nn, fi, da and is) are coordinating a bid for Wikimania 2010 in Stockholm. I'm sending you a message to let you know that this is occurring, and over the next few months we're looking for community support to make sure this happens! See the bid page on meta and if you like such an idea, please sign the "supporters" list at the bottom. Tack (or takk), and have a wonderful day! Mike H. Fierce! 08:14, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Araby

Really? Not vandalism? Sure smells like it to me... his first edit clearly was vandalism, which was half undone by his second. Why wouldn't his entire first edit then be automatically considered vandalism? ScottJ (talk) 18:53, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

When seeing the words "ejaculate" and "porn stars", that was my first thought, too. But I haven't seen that movie, and reading a bit in the rest of the text, it seemed plausible that the changes were correct. I hate blaming someone for vandalism and it later turns out it wasn't, so I decided to revert my change and note it in the revision history. I suppose the best thing to do is to revert things to as they were prior to the edit. I'll do it now and leave a link in the revision description. -- Sunny256|✎ 20:48, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Hehe, you reverted it a few minutes before I wrote that message. -- Sunny256|✎ 20:51, 17 November 2008 (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.
