Just a note

Hey, just thought I'd poke you about blanking your talk page - usually it's preferable to archive your talk page rather than blank it, as blanking might be seen as an attempt to hide messages or mislead users. I don't think that's your intention, but I would suggest keeping messages you remove from your talk page in an archive. Happy editing! —Keakealani·?·!·@ 04:27, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

YouTube

External links should not be made to sites that are violating copyrights. In the case of YouTube, that means videos uploaded by people who don't have permission to use that footage (and it's usually obvious when that's the case). There's some discussion about all this going on at Misplaced Pages:External links/YouTube. —tregoweth (talk) 06:42, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Nice cats

Are your cats from the same litter? Or do they just look alike? How do you tell them apart? Will (Talk - contribs) 21:06, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

What is going on?

You asked a question on my talk page, it is a good question. I don't know what is going on with the "Foundation". It is a small elite group of people who have put themselves in charge of everything based upon them being the first few hundred people here or something; and most of the decisions they made are done in secret without any consultation (sometimes they think they have consulted with people but this is not true IMHO because they do not use the facilities to give people notice, the bylaws say that notices have to be sent to everyone via email (it has said that since 2003) and as far as I know no one has ever been given an email notice of any change, election, anything. I think most of the decisions around here were made without any proper notice to us "members". They (the powers that be) have almost totally lost sight of the fact that this was supposed to be a collaborative venture, and that we are all supposed to have a more or less equal voice within the parameters of the goal of creating a free and open encyclopedia which also guaranteed us certain basic rights, the right to vote for representation, the right to bring grievances to the Board (that right was also taken away on Dec. 11, 2006), really, a right to participate and make a difference. No doubt this is due to the rush of money coming at the Foundation resulting from the success (high Alexa ranking) of the venture and the fact that Jimbo and his friends were courted by one of Florida's largest "corporate" law firms (that has pretty much taken over all the previous pro bono legal work that I and other lawyers did for the Foundation and is also being paid by Jimbo's commercial company). As they say, "Absolute power corrupts absolutely". I am an advocate for openness and transparency, that is obviously why their Boss started ignoring me because my openness and inquiring nature scared him; he is afraid to loose control of the little empire he thinks he is creating (even though he never had control). If you ask me it is a mess (but there are other people who say it is the best thing since sliced bread, but they are in the "good graces" of one of the founders (I am apparently now on his shit list even though he told me I was his "friend" because of the help I gave Wikimedia that is now allowing him to fly all over the world! Ha! With friends like that who needs enemies! He came to New York this last week and didn't bother to tell his "friend" that he was in town because three weeks ago he wrote me and told me he was too busy to write to me for a few days and then I never heard from him again)). Word to the newbies, don't criticize anyone around here because if you do they will try and shoot you down, it is a whole new world of "internet politics". This is not the Misplaced Pages I first became involved with in 2003; it is just another big corporation with people who are involved in corporate politics, the dream of collaborative culture has now become a nightmare of people who are all out for themselves and care nothing about other volunteers; really we are like sweatshop employees, if we are nice and bend over at the right time our master gives us a few extra scraps. Don't believe me though, find out the truth for yourself, maybe your truth will be different than mine. Alex756 14:52, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
