Hi Asa! Welcome to Wikipedia!
I take issue with your use of the term "node." :-) On Wikipedia there are no "nodes." You must have us confused with Everything2, or something. :-) --LMS
Fair enough! What term should i use instead? Articles? Items? Bits? -- Asa
All pages are pages, but not all pages are articles. Encyclopedic content should be on all and only article pages. Comment thereon is on Talk Pages. Hope this helps! --LMS
Princes Mononoke is amazing, isn't it? I'll have to make it a point to look for the others. Perhaps you could write up a bit about Miyazaki Hayao? The page for Japanese cinema is an embarassment right now. (And yes, I've been the only contributor.) :-) Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia. --Koyaanis Qatsi
Hey, I forgot about that request. Sorry, I've had many many irons in the fire lately (grad school, working two jobs, filming a documentary, and researching a second one--ak!) so I've not been on Wikipedia much. Thanks very much for the article; and I like the Unicode in it--now that I have the font. <g> Thanks again --Koyaanis Qatsi
cheers :) the unicode was not me thou. neither were all the Romaji names in in filmography (thou i did intend to do them at some point - the beauty of Wikipedia!) Next i need to expand this a bit more and make a start on each of his films - want to help? -- Asa
More to do? Maybe it will help me keep my sanity watching Kiki's Delivery Service repeatedly. :-) I'll help if I can, but I'm not making any promises. --Koyaanis Qatsi
"boring mold"!? subjective!. How on earth can you expect people to talk about films without critical comment? If I said 'Viva Kneivel' is a truly dire film, it is subjective, but to not say it would by a lie and unkind to people who might otherwise see the film.
nonsense. This is an encypclopedia, not a critical journal or magazine. -- Asa
You have a small problem coming your way, Asa, and the problem is your name. You are probably aware of the pre-Christian derivation of it; I have an article coming up for the Norse Mythology block concerning the Asa: I fear it directs to your namespace. I'll note this with Larry. sjc
OK, what do you and Larry sugest I do? I don't mind changing my user name to Asa Winstaley (full name) and removing my stuff from Asa, moving to Asa Winstanley. I would prefer this to Wikipedians/Asa. Also, i would like to keep a link to Asa Winstanley on Asa so that all the links to my name in histories and Recent Changes are not totally broken. Hows that? Will wait for you and/or Larry to reply b4 acting on this. cheers.
(p.s. My name is pre-Christian - Hebrew! Asa was also a king in the OT, so maybe i should have thought of that to before i claimed thee space for myself! ah well live and learn) --Asa
Yeah, I spotted that as well. But then my viewpoint is post-Christian... :-) sjc
after futher investigation: seems it was The Cunctator who put my name as a sub page of Wikipedians, thou i assumed for some reason it was you. Also seems he is the only one (that i can find) that uses this particular scheme. is this an upcoming standard or something? I tend not to keep up with Wikipedia policy... I would prefer Asa Winstanley.
One more thing: Asa is not just my Wiki name its my real name :) -- Asa
- No, it's not an upcoming standard. Asa Winstanley is all yours. :) --Stephen Gilbert
Why don't you just use ~~~ to sign your name instead of creating articles? It seems cleaner to me. cheers Dori 05:44 17 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you mean. That is how I sign my name. Are you calling me biased or something? AW
Death through "European diseases" cannot be called genocidal. They didn't deliberately set out to infect native populations. Mintguy 10:35 17 Jul 2003 (UTC)~
- Good point. Looking into this, I can find no reference to imported diseases being a significant source of deaths in the native population during that period, so have altered that section (History of Haiti). The part about disease was never mine, I merely added the word European, assuming that that was what was intended. Disease or no, there is no avoiding the genocial campaign of domination an servitude over the Arawaks that look place. AW
Church of Christ
Hi there, Asa. Noticed you because I was looking for pages that link to church of Christ. I'm a member, too.
Do you by any chance know Keith Sisman? Jdavidb 02:58, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Hi :) I know a little of him, but have never met him. AW
Anarchist Symbolism page
Hi there. I have a slight dispute with you on the subject of the Anarchist Symbols page. I don't suppose you could pop on over to the talk page for that topic to discuss? --Pmetzger 18:52, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Main namespace cleanup
Heya, I've moved Asa Winstanley/Todo to User:Asa Winstanley/old-Todo. There's some edit history, so perhaps you want to keep it. Otherwise just delete it (or ask an admin to do so). �xfeff;--fvw* 19:14, 2004 Dec 14 (UTC)
- Um... ta, I think :) I'm ok with deleting it. Just don't know how to go about asking for that to be done. AW 20:27, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
