Clever talk link! Are you actually experienced?? - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 17:51, 4 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Let's just say I've been doing copy-cat by observing other Wiki-users prior to my membership.

Don't think I need 4 tildes on my "talk-page".

Zen and the Art of Wikiediting edit

Hey there. Can I recommend that you read WP:CHILLOUT and WP:TIGER? Overheated editing creates an atmosphere is discontent and hostility, which is not only uncivil, but is counterproductive and hurts morale. Yes, other people can definitely appear as idiots, or stupid, and yes, some of them definitely need a "talking-to," but hostility is definitely not the path to resolution. Wikipedia is a collaborative project, so please try and be nice, or at least civil, to your fellow editors. Cheers and happy editing! - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 16:32, 6 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

My "Wiki" Notes... edit

Controversy

The seduction community has been receiving increased media attention, [1][2] [3][4] especially since the publication of Neil Strauss' article on the community in The New York Times,[5] and his bestselling memoir The Game. Response to the seduction community has been varied; it has been called misogynistic, and a review of The Game in the San Francisco Chronicle characterized the community as "a puerile cult of sexual conquest," and calls its tactics "sinister" and "pathetic."[6] [7] According to the review, "if women in the book are sometimes treated as a commodity, they come out looking better than the men, who can be downright loathsome — and show themselves eventually to be pretty sad, dysfunctional characters."[8]

Feminists tend to be critical of the seduction community. Beatrix Campbell has stated that The Game "sexually objectifies women," arguing that "in a way these courses are helping men to be a bit less useless in their engagement with women, using charm and a bit of ingenuity to seduce. But the only thing that will help them in relationships is empathy and liking women."[9] According to an article in Eye Weekly, some feminists believe that pickup "isn't just cheesy; it's offensive."[10] The article cites a proposal put forward by a feministblogs.org writer as an alternative to the formula used by expert PUAs: "Shake my hand. [Say] 'Hi, my name is…' Treat me like a human being. Avoid seeing women as conquests and men as competition." In reference to the proposal, Strauss retorted that "If that worked, I wouldn't have had to write this book."[citation needed]

An article in the Houston Press claimed that the seduction community "isn't the lechfest it might sound like." The article quotes the webmaster of fastseduction.com defending the community: "It's no more deceptive than push-up bras or heels or going to the gym to work out…This isn't just a game of words and seduction, it's an overall life improvement."[11] Strauss says, "I really think all of these routines and manipulations are just a way for a guy to get his foot in the door so that if a woman connects with him, she can still choose him," and that seduction techniques "can be used for good or evil!"[12][13] He argues that "women are incredibly intuitive — the creepy guys with bad intentions don't do nearly as well as the guys who love and respect women."[14]

Several writers describe observing men in the seduction community first-hand. Some women recount experiences with men they believed to be pickup artists who tried to "pick them up," and some men recount trying out pickup techniques. A columnist for The Independent describes a negative experience with a man she believed was a pickup artist and used a lot of "negs" on her: "The problem is that some guys clearly don't know when to quit."[15] An article in San Francisco Magazine recounts the experience the blogger "Dolly," who is the "author of the popular sex blog The Truth about Cocks and Dolls" had with the seduction community. According to the article, Dolly was:


Jaimal Yogis, author of the article reports trying out some of the teachings of PickUp 101 and describes "having an epiphany: I can talk to anyone."[17] For an article for the Times Online, Hugo Rifkind participated in a seminar by Neil Strauss.[18] Rifkind describes initially struggling with seduction techniques, eventually learning to attract women's interest, and then feeling guilty. Rifkind writes, "After a little more practise, my 'game' is improving dramatically. I can open with fluency, and there’s an injection of confidence which comes from knowing exactly what you are going to say next." When he attracts a woman's attention, "she is — quite honestly — looking at me like I’m the most fascinating person she’s ever met. As a human being and, perhaps more crucially, as somebody with a girlfriend, I feel like absolute scum."

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Game Paperback.jpg) edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Game Paperback.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Idiot list edit

With all due respect, if you have these names on your computer as you indicate, then what possible purpose do they serve by being posted here in an unreadable form, except to function as a veiled threat (in the case of the enemies list) or a personal attack (in the case of the idiot list)? Either could be grounds for blocking if they persist, which is why I removed the list in the first place. Please review the relevant policies and remove this list. UltraExactZZ Claims ~ Evidence 22:11, 26 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

There, done and dusted. You are very right on the fact as they are a veiled threat, and are used as a deterrent. Veiled threats are my recent favorite. =)

The wikipedia policy on blocking has been reviewed.

Since you used calm formalities including the word "please", the list has been removed (and saved) in order to return that respect. You at least should be thankful for that.

However, I must point out, the word "please" doesn't always work in the real world, especially in very bad and extreme circumstances. If only the world works like Wikipedia does.

Shin-chan01 (talk) 23:14, 26 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

I appreciate your removal of the list. Quite honestly, the word please doesn't usually work around here, either - but you seem pretty reasonable, so I thought it was worth a shot - and you've proven me correct. Again, thanks. UltraExactZZ Claims ~ Evidence 23:59, 26 March 2008 (UTC)Reply


Fair use rationale for Image:AVIRA AV window.png edit

Thanks for uploading Image:AVIRA AV window.png. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 20:50, 21 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of File:Omamori Study.jpg edit

 

The file File:Omamori Study.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unlikely own work (no exif, low res), probably from linked jlist.com

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --TheImaCow (talk) 20:40, 23 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
