Hello there, Welcome. Who are these people you are writting articles about? What have they done to merit inclusion in this encyclopedia? One of the things Misplaced Pages is not is a homepage provider. You are more than welcome to create just about anything over at Metapedia. --mav

Lir. I have responded to your questions on my talk page. If for some reason you can't edit that page then please post your messages here. --mav

Well, I've got to go to bed. Talk to you later. --mav

Hi Lir. Great stuff you're writing, but plase watch the CAPS lock key. We don't put names in capitals. I'll fix the ALVIN TOFFLER page you've made. -- Tarquin (oh well. Someone else beat me to it... ;-)

(reply to your comment on my page) It's been merged into Alvin Toffler, a page which already existed. Your text has not been deleted. It's a good idea to do a search before creating a new page, to avoid duplication. -- Tarquin

Hi Lir,

I'm User:Bobdobbs1723 and I noticed your edits on Anarchism. I'll read through them to find your train of thought. I just figured something out when I was editing (I still feel a fool) that may really help. At the bottom of the edit screen is a 'Preview' button. Use it, and it will provide a formatted page below the edit window so you can see what it looks like without posting 50 times in a row. My problem was (and possibly yours too), is that when I hit the button, due to my screen size and resolution, the preview page posted below, and what I was looking at didn't appear to change at all. So I thought it wasn't working..... Live and learn. Oh four tildes '~' in a row will put your name and timestamp after your message. Three just leaves your name. Have fun.

I'm posting here so you can read it quickly: "Lir seems eager and a newbie as well. I'm going over to his Talk page and try and describe searching before starting new articles, and reading the talk page to get an idea of what everyone before you has done and is trying to achieve. Most anarchists I tend to meet seem to have developed their understanding from more general work and bits and pieces of popular descriptions. Our more doctrinaire and rigorous work describing the distinctions is a bit enlightning and confusing when people are first exposed."

That is posted from the Anarchism:Talk page. You can get there by clicking on Talk Page, located under Page Options on the left side of your browser window, when you are on the Anarchism topic page. (I'm not trying to talk down - BTW - I just don't know how much you know and am being better safe than sorry).

Your changes on the Anarchism page were reverted, and I didn't want you to take it the wrong way. As you can see, there has been quite a bit of discussion on how to approach the subject, and your changes edited out much information that many others felt necessary to illustrate the distinctions between forms of anarchist philosophy. Libertarian Socialism is a synonym of Anarchism, not something different, it just describes a specific type and style of Anarchism (from your Summary of your changes). Your energies might be better spent reading through the discussion, reading the page and finding out where your philosophy of Anarchism fits, and expanding that section or page. It's not that what you were trying to do wasn't good, it was just too specific for the main page. Dobbs 17:31 Oct 2, 2002 (UTC)
