OK, sorry Hibernian its not vandalism this time but still not acceptable as there is no verifiable authoritative source (the words of the found is not enough). Just because the Scott says something does not make it a fact. We would need some external verification for this. Neither Arkin nor Loab mention this info and both of them make a point of showing that there was nothing new with Technocracy in 1933. Loab points to Frederick Soddy as the source for many ideas although he also says that Scott said there were similarities but he did not get the ideas from Soddy. In the end to include this info we need to get soume source external from Scott to verify it. Technocrate ( talk) 06:52, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
http://www.technocracy.org/Archives/History%20&%20Purpose-r.htm History and Purpose of Technocracy Why don`t you both read this ? The argument surrounding this stuff mentioned is really not making sense except to people with vested interest in these ideas about the antecedents of Technate design. I have about given up trying to make thoughtful additions here. It is noted that Technocrate is a sock puppet for Andrew Wallace, Isenhand wiki editor. That is why he is pushing for this 'version' which relies on outside sociologists, and not the actual information brief from Howard Scott. How much more definitive is there to get than what the chief of the organization said in an official document ? Technocrate is quoting the authors that make up the bulk of Andrew Wallaces book on Technocracy which is a commercial enterprise which he is promoting http://web.telia.com/~u11319012/index.htm Andrew Alexander Wallace - I think that violates wiki policy. That is the same person that suggested a team be assembled to control the article. I won`t bother to give the link for that again. Hibernian none of this makes sense really. Why have a version of this article that caters to a side group in Europe that is unconnected to the actual group and its ideas ? http://www.technocracy.org/Archives/Technical%20Alliance%20Profiles-r.htm The Technical Alliance Profiles Not only Gibbs is correct here, but also the place given Veblen still is way out of line. Scroll down on this info. also and read about Gibbs here. Also there is NO connection to Taylorism as claimed by Technocrate except that those concepts were just 'around' then. Scott says specifically many of the things that I have tried to put into this article, and been prevented from doing so. There are multiple sources for the information. Andrew Wallace cites a couple of Fiction books by people unconnected to the group except by writing books or having a very marginal connection or understanding of the dynamic that occurred and why it occurred. skip sievert ( talk) 05:15, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

About the Federation credit article, I agree it needs to be redone. I can't claim to be an expert on the topic, so I'm not sure I can contribute much more than what I said in its Talk page.

Actually, communism is not a price system; that's the whole point. Communism is based more or less on a gift economy, and certainly would not employ currency. I invite you to read anything written by any communist on the subject; you will find that I am correct. I would also highly doubt that communism is in any way better known than socialism. The communist movement is just a branch of the wider socialist movement, after all. -- Nikodemos 22:49, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Sorry for not replying sooner. Due to my current schedule, I can only spend time editing wikipedia once every few days. So there might be a delay in my replying to your messages or reacting to any edits you make. I do agree with your compromise, in a slightly modified form: "...[[scarcity]]-based economic systems like [[capitalism]] and the system used by [[Communist state]]s." I hope that will settle our dispute.
By the way, I want to mention that, although I am by no means a Technocrat myself, I do sympathise with some of the ideas and goals of Technocracy. So if you need my help in editing Technocracy-related articles, just ask. :) -- Nikodemos 02:16, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello! Thanks for your message, it is a clear rebuttal by a member which I have to take into account. I'm not really sure about the distinction he makes between "managing machines", and "engineers replacing politics" — as I understand it, engineers can replace politicians only insofar as politics become managing of machines & not anymore of humans — this, by the way, reminds Marx & Engels' "administration of things" which would replace politics... This is an interesting subject, which would need more time and analysis. In the time being, thanks for having provided an explanation! Regards, Tazmaniacs 15:32, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi,
Good work on the Irish Army page. I'm wondering if we need a seperate page for the History section, or perhaps for the UN missions alone? I'm interested in your opinion.
Jdorney 19:46, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
That sounds good. I don't have any specialist military knowledge however, so I wouldn't be of any use in writing about their capabilities/doctrines. I'll leave the history where it is for now. Howevr, I can get my hands on quite a lot of info about the foundation of the army, the civil war era, the 1924 mutiny and the emergency, so I might start a history article based on that in the future.

Hi Hibernian,
Thanks for using the userbox that I created (the one about supporting environmental protection). I'm glad that there're people in the world who care about the environment just as much as I do.

Oh hi there. Well it's always good to meet someone of similar interests, so Hi. So you're the guy on the Bob Fink page? Wow, Interesting stuff. I took a look through some of your Website a while ago (when I came across the Prehistoric music page), it's very interesting stuff, though a lot of it is a bit over my head. I do find the subject of Prehistoric music quite interesting, although because I don't have any Musical training, it can be very difficult to understand the Jargon. I really liked hearing the "Oldest Song" on your site, very Cool! You know, you should really get yourself a User account, instead of editing as an anonymous user, people don't really respect anons. Anyway, it's good to see people of your calibre contributing to Wikipedia. -- Hibernian 13:56, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Why did you delete the Clondalkin Toastmasters Entry in the Local Clubs Section? You claim it's "Blatant Advertising". Toastmasters is a worldwide nonprofit educational organisation for the purpose of helping its members improve their communication, public speaking and leadership skills. Surely if you're deleting the Clondalkin Toastmasters Entry, you have just as much right to go and delete the "Toastmasters" Entry? I'm new to Wikipedia so maybe I'm missing something? I'm simply letting people know what it is we do. If there's an acceptable form of entry, let me know. Odhranobrien 09:32, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Grand stuff Hibernian - I was annoyed that it was taken out altogether. I see what you mean regarding how things need to be written. I got carried away in my role of Public Relations Guy for the Club :)
Please don't change image thumb sizes as you did in the X-38 article. This is contrary to the Manual of Style. By hard-coding the size, you force people to view them at that size. If you leave a size out, the user preferences then dictates the size that the image is seen at. Thanks. Akradecki 04:09, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

You have fair use image Image:Murphy-CoA.jpg on your use page. We can't allow that because of Rule #9 in the fair use image rules. You will need to remove it.

I found you are using the fair use images listed below on your user page. As per Rule #9 of the fair use image rules, you will need to remove those image. You can link to them, but not display them. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
If you don't understand why this is nessecary, you can ask the administrator Durin. He is better at explaining the problem than I am. You could also go to the policy portion of the village pump and ask there.
I will probably check back in a day or so to verify the images were either removed or converted into links. If you need help making the change, let me know.
I should also note that the image Image:Dwik.PNG does not have a license. You might want to remove it until an appropriate free license is added. Will ( Talk - contribs) 10:30, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

TO HIBERNIAN and Isenhand, and Wafulz. ---
I have now found out that Hibernian has also trashed my links and contribution to the Technocracy Movement page from myself. Please stop it. I have put this material up in good faith. Please do not post any more demeaning comments on my talk page either. I am all for constructive conversation. I do not like the name calling from you. Do you understand ? Cease and desist. Please put the links to my book back up. Also the links to other Technocracy sites, including, http://technocracynow.blogspot.com/ Technocracy - The Design of the North American Technate. and also the other link you have taken off. http://www.technocracynow.org/
I would add that the TechnocracyCa site that you are referring to, is not a Technocracy site in the strict sense of the word. The person that runs that site is not a member of either Technocracy organization, as you are not, and that site is not a sanctioned site by either. Also just because some bloggers on a site have an opinion, I do not think that is 'evidence' of anything other than free speech. Attempts at demonizing me is not particularly appreciated because of disagreements we might have. You are casting me as some kind of spoiler which I am not. By taking down my links repeatedly, and also by promoting a money making connection, it is clear where your sympathy lies. Please leave my links up in the future. I have no financial interest at stake. Only the desire to make Technocracy material available to the public. Petty quarrels aside that is the important thing. Skipsievert 18:40, 20 May 2007 (UTC);
Hibernian your writing on Urbanates is not a part of the Technocracy Movement as designed by the Technical Alliance. It is a construct made up by people on the TechCa. site and the Technet site. It has nothing to do with the design laid out by Technocracy Incorporated. It should not be there. ( Skipsievert 14:59, 23 May 2007 (UTC))

Consequences of personal attacks
Although editors are encouraged to ignore or respond politely to isolated personal attacks, that should not imply that they are acceptable or without consequences. A pattern of hostility reduces the likelihood of the community assuming good faith, and can be considered disruptive editing. Users who insist on a confrontational style marked by personal attacks are likely to be handled through the dispute resolution process, possibly including the serious consequences of arbitration, and may become subject to a community ban.
In extreme cases, even isolated personal attacks may lead to a block for disruption. Legal threats, death threats, and issues of similar severity, in particular, may result in a block without warning. However, administrators are cautioned that other resolutions are preferable to blocking for less severe situations when it is unclear if the "conduct severely disrupts the project". Recurring attacks are proportionally more likely to be considered "disruption". Blocking for personal attacks should only be done for prevention, not punishment. A block may be warranted if it seems likely that the user will continue using personal attacks.( skip sievert 02:13, 12 June 2007 (UTC))
Sorry to do this, but you've been blocked for six hours. Don't call other users trolls, despite how obvious it may seem.- Wafulz 12:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
This is completely and utterly STUPID. There is hardly any rational way to deal with this person. He continues to attack everyone who disagrees with him and has now started to attack me because I didn't like how he attacked people.

Yes, I was the one who deleted the image. It was listed on Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2007 June 22/Images. Unfortunately the tagger did not warned you as he should have. Sorry about that, I do try to check but with so many images/articles sometimes I miss some. The image came from [1] however there was no indication on the source site that the image was indeed released under a creative commons license, therefore I deleted the image. Garion96 (talk) 18:59, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
About the image, I can undelete it in 2 seconds if necessary. The fact that people in the picture are dead is no reason to stop copyright. Copyright. in general. works till 70 years after the death of the maker, not the person pictured. Is Technocracy.ca the copyright holder of the image? If so, could they state on their website that they release all (or just that one) image under the cc license you used. That would be the easiest. Or could you/they send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org? This way it will be registered in our system in case someone else later will again tag the image as a copyright violation. Garion96 (talk) 13:02, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Hello,
First, I absolutely disagree that technocrat and technocrats should link to technocrat (derogatory). The latter article is, as its title states, about one sole aspect of the term: how it's used in a negative sense, either as an insult or for cultural commentary. If you look at the articles talking about technocrats, you'll see that almost all the time, they are discussing technocrats in a neutral, purely descriptive way: someone who's hired or noted for their technical skills rather than their politics. It makes no sense to link to an article that has nothing to do with what technocrats actually are. In fact, I really don't see why technocrat (derogatory) even exists. We don't have fascist (derogatory) or Nazi (derogatory) articles; the content can easily be merged into the generic technocracy (bureaucracy) article, as a separate section on "views of technocrats" maybe.
Second, check the articles at Category:Technocracy movement. The only one I've edited is Howard Scott, and that was in this context:
Now, given that there is already a link to Technocracy Incorporated, which redirects to Technocracy Movement, I didn't see any point in having a second link to the same destination in the same paragraph. Far better to describe the general background of what technocracy is, rather than a specific political movement, I would think. If you disagree, then you should remove the first link, because two links to Technocracy Movement are superfluous. -- Hongooi 03:22, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
In Technocracy literature ? I do not see that term used. You did not explain your edits on the Energy Accounting article that you did. I think you may be absolutely wrong in your description of energy credits. Mainstream Technocracy does not use the term Energy Credits to my knowledge. ( skip sievert 04:17, 31 July 2007 (UTC))
Here is a recent example that proves you wrong about your usage of the term energy credit to describe energy certificates in energy accounting.
The usership right is a part of the social contract which is the technate. It is physically manifested through an energy certifikate. The available capacity is divided into energy units, which could also be called energy credits although it might be misleading. Why? Because the units, since they most correspond to the available consumption capacity in the technate during a given time period (minus of course usage during said period), would not be possible to save over that period. Instead, the certifikate will be reloaded with a new share more corresponding to the new total production capacity of the technate.
I do not see your points and you are not citing examples. The personal defame thing started on TechCa. Free speech works both ways. My site is a parody site. Lighten up. Lets be creative and present the material free of personal bias here. ( skip sievert 15:20, 6 August 2007 (UTC))
Here is an example of Energy Accounting accurate information http://www.technocracy.org/Archives/The%20Energy%20Certificate-r.htm The Energy Certificate The information from the TTCD is edited by Kolzene and therefore considered biased. It is possible to find obscure references in Technocracy material, even by TechInc, about energy credits, but almost always that term is used like an allegory and is not the actual term but a reference to money and its concepts. Let stop the personal stuff here and work toward the good of the article, which means presenting accurate information with the weight of that information being the arbiter of judgment.( skip sievert 16:20, 6 August 2007 (UTC))

You may be wrong about that. I am the Price System was originally published in booklet form. I have an original copy. Also the TTCD using that criteria is not a 'book'. It is also an information brief only. The ONLY book is the Technocracy Study Course, that I am aware of that was published by TechInc. I am the Price System is a very famous piece of writing that should be highlighted in the article. The list should be expanded with selected essay publications, along with the general link to archived publications. As said, using that criteria, you are giving, the TTCD is absolutely not a book and should be removed then for that reason, if that is the argument you are using. It is listed as an information brief, or longer essay.( skip sievert 03:17, 11 August 2007 (UTC))
Thanks for uploading Image:Star_Trek_Human_Montage.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{

During this time, it is possible that the icy moons around Jupiter and Saturn, such as Titan and Europa, as the temperature also rises by roughly up to 100 degrees warmer, its frozen atmosphere will gradually sublimate into globes of liquid oceans, and the average temperature can maintain anywhere between freezing point of water and 30° C, and as its anti-greenhouse effect also gradually releases, can trap in appropriate atmosphere such as oxygen which they are currently lack of, can possibly create some reserviors for possible current known lifes.

Not sure if you are actually interested in the subject Hibernian but currently a new scan of the Technocracy Study Course is being done by http://technatedesign-tnat.blogspot.com/ The North American Technate TNAT
It should be done fairly soon. It will be the actual scan of the paper study course that was published between 1934 and 1948. That includes the energy survey as well as some other very interesting information published after the last two chapters that outline the Technate design.
The current copy that is on wikipedia was done to a purpose and that purpose was not to inform people as to the contents of the actual Technocracy Study Course. If you care to order through any rare or vintage book seller you will see what I am talking about. It is hoped that the new scan will be done in the next week or so. You perhaps could special order a copy of the Study Course in your library system where you are. Perhaps.

If London is sinking by 1-2 mm per year, then a calculation can be made that by 2100, London will sink 100 mm and by 2200, it will sink upto 200 mm.

Hi,
As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.
We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.
You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.
We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Nope, that is deliberate. The Swiss Army has units made up of soldiers of the three national languages and the Swiss Army units are named accordingly - French named units are made up of French speaking recruits, German named units are made up of German speaking recruits and Italian named units are made up of Italian speaking recruits - to reflect this tradition I translated only the German units names into English and left the French and Italian units names untranslated. Therefore it is a desired effect to keep this separation of military units by language visible by keeping in line with the Swiss Army naming conventions. -- noclador ( talk) 10:38, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I saw your edit on Sikhote-Alin meteorite. Does in your opinion it looks better with the stamp image on the left, or is there any policy about floating images? -- Basilicofresco ( msg) 17:07, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
