My apologies

RandomP, I'm sorry if I portrayed you in a bad light. When I saw the quotes around "harmless", it did look like you were quoting me though. Really I'm not trying to defend the practice of sex tourism, so much as the definition of it. There are other forms that the advocacy groups do not acknowledge. If you look on "mongering" forums you will see talk about live sex shows, gang bangs, and swingers clubs. These are places where people go to have consensual sex that is not abusive with people whom they do not know and which does not include prostitution. I've also seen these establishments in-person. There is a website for Casa Rosso in Amsterdam which is probably the most open about these non-prostitution forms of sex tourism. It's hard to give examples because the subject has a bad name and people want keep to quiet about it. You wouldn't find much published on the web to refer to. Edgarde's definition didn't account for all there is to it. I know this subject well, and it was not reported completely.

I wrote a new definition tonight that tries to keep a neutral point of view, while still including all forms of sex tourism.

"After the hedgehogs stop hibernating"...well, I guess that's an improvement over "I was talking about the classical theory I just made up", "It's a math thing, you wouldn't understand", "hyperinflation isn't that big a deal because the factories are still there", "I support this principle except when I don't like its implications", and "ooh, let me make a gratuitous mention of my knowledge of Abel groups" ... but it's still really, really cryptic.

If Hubbert had meant that, or written that, he would immediately have been criticised on any number of valid points; at the very least, it would have clearly precluded applicability to other non-renewable resources (while you could argue that "industrialisation" is proportional to oil used (and would lose the argument), applying the same to copper clearly does not make sense).

As far as I know, he hasn't.

American (ethinc group) AfD

Hi, I nominated the article American (ethnic group) for deletion as it is impossbile to expand. All we know is that 7.2% of respondents to the 2000 Census marked "American" under ethnicity. You can see my reasoning on the deletion page. I appreciate your support and as a member of Concordia want to congratulate you on the great job you did of staying civil and remianing professional in the midst of such a heated debate. Anyways, the uncivil user is blocked, so no worries there and if you want to, you can vote on the AfD here: [1]. Best Regards and Happy Editing! Signature^brendel 19:19, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

From Ecological economics

What's the issue? Please do not list RfCs until there is something on the talk page that can be found easily, and summarises the problem and diverging opinions on how to solve it. RandomP 15:31, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Simple: spam, just as it says above [on Talk:Ecological economics]. Editor Swedenborg has been attempting to continually reinsert a link to a unreliable source, namely a website which he's spent the last year trying (and failing) to use Wikipedia to promote. See the four (4) AfDS above [on Talk:Ecological economics]. During the last year, he's failed to provide a single reliable source for this thing's importance or even existence. --Calton | Talk 07:01, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Quick question

Does a zero-coupon bond count as an investment? Just wanted to see you apply the "classical" theory. Thanks. MrVoluntarist 03:49, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

---

Sorry for taking a bit long. Important explanations follow, but the answer is "yes, purchasing a zero-coupon bond under realistic conditions counts as investment". I'm going to go with the narrow definition here, and ignore :

The holder of a zero coupon bond is entitled to receive a single payment of a specified sum of money at a specified time in the future.

So, what is your decision as to whether or not to purchase such a coupon based on? First, of course, the time value (to you) of the future payment. The second aspect is the risk that you will not receive that payment at all (if you want to make things really complicated, you also take into account possibilities other than receiving the entire payment or no payment at all).

Those two items are things you put as the expected future returns, and they give you the value of your investment, in this case, your zero-coupon bond.

Note that all this assumes your investment decision, and the price you buy at, are rational.

This, BTW, is exactly the opposite from the "gold" case: in the gold case, you get to keep your gold, but get no return; in the zero-coupon bond case, you lose the bond, but get returns (the payment).

RandomP 19:02, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, you said gold doesn't count as an investment because you have to cede the gold to get a (dollar) return. The exact same thing applies to the zero-coupon bond: you must lose it to get your return. And if the gold increases in value, you do get a return. Just another reason why your "classical" theory of investment is flawed. Just a heads-up. MrVoluntarist 21:35, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Nope, not quite. You can keep the coupon, it's just worthless.

Is that a significant difference? Yes, I think so. Let's go back a bit.

I say that an investment is an asset that's valued as the time value of its expected future returns, all the way to infinity. Thus, a rental property is an investment because you can calculate the time value of all the expected rents you receive, and reduce that number by the time value of all the expected future repairs you'll have to make (negative returns, if you so wish).

Of course there's some freedom of choice as to how far you go into the future: if you accept that a rental property is an investment, as above, you can also consider the next ten years' rents, the next ten years' return, and an extra return in ten years' time from selling the house. The tricky point is that that won't change the value you calculate, because the buyer in ten years' time will offer you the value of the house, which happens to be calculated by the same method.

The point is that in the very long term, the only consistent way to give gold a good rate of "return" is for people to buy gold at a higher value than its future returns would have: otherwise, the percentage of the world's wealth that's in gold would increase forever and ever, until it would finally be more than a hundred percent.

By the definition given above, there aren't things that are investments for some people but other people buy them at higher prices: either it is an investment for enough people, and that (together with the prevailing ideas about what the future will look like) will set its price, or it isn't, and its price will not match the predicted one.

When people buy gold, that's what they're thinking: that the value of gold as a non-investment will go up. That's speculation. It can be a valid reason to make a business decision in the short term, but in the long term, there's no clear trend to the non-investment value of gold.

But the issue's pretty much dead. I currently don't really have the energy to go through the mediation-arbitration cycle that would be necessary to get any of the articles into real shape, and my current strategy is mostly to wait for gold as an investment to deteriorate to the point where a new article can be written at gold price without being deleted.

Sorry to tell you that textbook theory still stands.

RandomP 22:11, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

If a zero-coupon bond is an investment, so is gold. They both have a speculative value. They both must be ceded to get a return out of them. They both have time-discounted values. There is no "textbook theory" backing you up. MrVoluntarist 00:32, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Signpost and Colbert

(For the record, I didn't write the phrase that you're criticizing, though I think it's worded correctly). I understand the satirical nature of Colbert (in fact, I'm a regular viewer of the show); the fact remains that, however tongue-in-cheek the mention was for Colbert the actor, Colbert the character openly solicited the vandalism. Also, I think the word 'real' was meant to contrast it with the Microsoft-related edits, which weren't vandalism. Ral315 (talk) 22:52, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

My apologies. While you did insert the section, it was indeed heavily edited afterwards, and the phrase that I'm particularly concerned by, "vandalism promoted by one of the usual suspects", was added by Michael Snow. However, I must also point out that the actor-vs-character distinction was not made, by a reasonable standard, in this case - the "(character)" was pipe-tricked out, and to a reader unfamiliar with the Colbert show or character, the paragraph could be construed as referring to a serious show.

I believe the summary of what Stephen-Colbert-the-character actually told people to do is also inaccurate - as far as I remember, he was very specifically referring to a single article, which would reduce the burden of protection quite a bit.

Frankly, the point of view there is quite intolerable to me - when silly edits were made following media attention to wikipedia, we used to refer to that as "experimentation", and I believe the overall effect was considered positive. I would think there are quite a few now-accomplished editors whose first edit was a case of "wow, they mean I can change the X article and it will stick". Ultimately, I very much doubt the Colbert segment caused more damage than yet-another-news-show. To its credit, it must be said it also did a fairly good job at challenging viewers to try to understand why, when it's so easy to do silly things on Wikipedia, it still works. ("anyone can edit" Wikipedia s what everyone knows now - the "and it's easy to revert such edits" point hasn't really made it to general consciousness).

I can't help it, but the paragraph looks like it's attacking Colbert, under (or rather, next to) the Wikipedia trademark, for warning of a dystopic vision of a commercially-dominated Wikipedia. Accusing a show, or a "character", of promoting vandalism without also mentioning that such attention is likely to ultimately promote valuable edits as well is, plainly, one-sided reporting, and strikes me as an unacceptable path to take.

Tyranny of the majority

I found a reference to justify Nietzsche. My memory hadn't failed me that badly although it has been a long time since I studied him and my books are all packed up. I decided to play nice and give you the web link. There are plenty more where that came from if you are researching the article and the comments upon Nietzsche could certainly be expanded into a line or long line like the one above rather than the half of one I put in. It is indeed one of the phrases I will never forget and though it was in translation and I am sure there are other similar expressions: he talks about the masses quite often, probably "tyranny of the masses" also but the "majority" sticks in my mind so well it must have be repeated many times in my readings of Kaufman's translations cited (but not in accordance with wiki Style). Regards, Mattjs 01:11, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I found another link that briefly mentioned Locke as well as Mill indirectly, wish I had time to research it further...: http://www.wabash.edu/depart/CandT/C&T-Handouts/Nietzsche/Nietzsche.htm Mattjs 01:14, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Er, I'm sorry, so far, I can see a single cited use of the phrase by Nietzsche, in a context that is markedly different from the one the article talks about. Possibly enough for an inclusion, but "popular expression" might be a bit of a stretch.

Note that, in general, secondary sources are better than primary ones: if you can find reliable secondary sources discussing Nietzsche's use of the phrase, and maybe explain in more detail what they think he meant by it, including the reference would make more sense.

RandomP 12:30, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Granted. His is using it in the sense of "moral self-censorship" at the hands of a "moral majority". I looked online at some of the works I guessed to be his most moral and politcal and although he refers to tyrannies of various kinds fairly regularly I cannot find a repeat of this particular phrase as yet. Also though my recollections of the phrase and concept itself may be coloured by other influences it is clear that Nietzsche hhimself was a great critic of "democracy" so-called and for this very reason (though perhaps from a moral angle - he is a moral philisopher par excelleance: The Geneology of Morals etc.). I made a slight tweak on yours but read my comments as I am not intending to over-emphasise Nietzche - maybe we need to directly quote Mill or something to compensate for the Nietzsche mention by expanding upon the originator of the phrase. I simply mentioned as briefly as possible Nietzsche's regular mentionn of "tyrannies", including moral kinds, with goes to the possible difference in sense of his usage in the quote I had cited and that you are talking about. Please leave it in for the reasons I have just explained here. Regards, Mattjs 18:38, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Actually, if you object or are not keen to add further on Mill etc. per above it might be worth simply reverting my tweak. At least he is there and get's a very relevant mention in this very short article. Regards again, Mattjs 18:45, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, Wikipedia articles are about things, not about phrases. We state very clearly in the opening paragraph that the phrase refers to a particular concept, and unless Nietzsche wrote about that concept, he should not be talking of him much.

I'll also change to avoid use of the term "polity", which you appear to be using in a different from its (not very) usual sense. RandomP 19:19, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

My point and argument is only that Nietszche was indeed well aware of the concept and used it repeatedly he refers regularly and disdainfully to the "masses" though I neglecteed to check for that word it in my recent searches: "mass rule" aka mob rule (no doubt he refers to that also as his works are sprinkled with such remarks), and the "rule of the masses" might well have turned up also. This is clearly what we are talking about. Mattjs 19:35, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Long as he is mentioned there however briefly I will be happy! Regards, Mattjs 19:38, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Unblock request

I would like to edit Wikipedia from IP address ranges that are currently blocked, but do not want to publicly reveal my IP. Is there any way an admin can help me with that?

This blocked user's request to have autoblock on their IP address lifted has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request.

RandomP (talk) 15:34, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately, we need to know which ranges you want to edit from, and why. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 16:05, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

why? Are you saying I need a special reason to edit wikipedia now?

Would it work if I e-mailed you the details, or would that make the specific IP public, too (in many countries, knowing the time someone used an IP and the IP is enough to get a legally relevant address if you allege copyright infringement - I'd rather not have random people be able to get to me that easily).

RandomP (talk) 18:38, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Why do you need to edit from those particular IP addresses? Why can't you use the ones currently provided? You must understand that block exemptions are relatively rare, and only granted under certain circumstances. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 21:33, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

RandomP has been caught in a hard rangeblock against a recidivist sockpuppeteer. I have looked into the issue, and am reasonably comfortable that RandomP is not the sockpuppeteer in question, and I will apply the IPexempt bit for the time being. -- Avi (talk) 22:03, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this newly-granted right to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a serious concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. -- Avi (talk) 23:12, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:20, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:39, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
