Well, here's the thing. I don't have a copy of the book. But, seeing as I should probably source that anyway, and the library a couple of towns over has a copy, I'll see what I can do. No promises, though. I'll let you know if I find it (I don't have the time to read the whole book again just for that, interesting though it was). Do you have at least access to a copy? It'd be easier for me to just give you a page number rather than having to type the whole godamn thing out. I'll e-mail you: if you don't want to publicise your e-mail just set it in your preferences and it'll be anonymous. (Note: When you have time, you really should read the book, it's very interesting.)

Thanks for your comments. In general, I don't see any point in flagging biographies of individuals (dead or alive) by whatever race or ethnic group or Volk or what have you the editors believe they deserve to be included in. If somebody's view of the right bag in which to put Mr. X had a very significant effect on X's life, then that will generally already be mentioned in the article. It does seem to me, however, that the absurdity of some such categories is clearer than that of others. I suppose one may start at the weakest point in the chain and then see what comes out of the discussion.
For what it is worth, I have submitted the page to Categories_for_deletion. Your opinions will be appreciated. Hasdrubal 22:46, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
hey Lapaz, regarding the "reversed burden of proof" (i.e. employees fired under CNE have to carry the burden of proof) on the CNE, do you have any specific source or reference about it, even in French? I can't find any mention of that issue anywhere! Sarreau 19:20, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello,
I have, for the time being, reverted your move of Haiti to Haïti. In general, we use English spellings for place names and other article titles and text. If you disagree with the application of this policy to the article on Haiti, you should go through Wikipedia:Requested moves, rather than move a highly important page like a country page by yourself.

Hi Lapaz, I have a question at Talk:Refugee about your text removal. Regards, Banyan Tree 19:28, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Quoting Lapaz: re: Scramble for Africa
"My English may not be perfect, however, I do believe that it is fundamental speaking of the Fashoda Incident & others crisis in the intro. Brevity mustn't means simplification, and it is quite impossible to understand how in hell could the Scramble for Africa be related to World War I if you don't pass by these historical crisis"
well, sure, but isn't naming specific incidents a bit much for the introduction? do we prefer global context or high-resolution detail here? i thought it simpler to cut rather than modify for that reason.
also, that sentence, like many, was a run-on. and it weirdly talked about an 1898 event as if it had been caused by a 1902 event. it's not grammar, just logic.
"I just want to add that the intro must be as concise as possible but, more importantly, should provide the global context need for the understanding of the article. In other words, it shouldn't repeat what the article says itself, but link it to worldwide event. This means linking it to the First World War, and thus speaking of these important international crisis. I leave the issue of the Russo-Japanese War up to you, although it could be included as, although I may have awkardly put it, it is the first war won against Europeans, and thus lead to a radical shift in mentalities (the Yellow Peril, etc.): White Man could be beaten."
right, well, what you just said makes the case for exclusion of the Russo-Japanese War from this intro better than i could make it. do we have a source for the idea that the Japanese are non-white? check out Yellow Peril and tell me about its relation to the Russo-Japanese war, or the Japanese at all.
apart from questions of fact, isn't there a POV question here? the construction of a universal "White Man" is as non-neutral as the construction of a universal "Colored," or even a "Yellow," wouldn't you say?
and "the first war won against Europeans" is contestable -- imperial Japan versus imperial Russia does not sound like the kind of conflict one would include in a survey of "Righteous Colored Rebellion"...
which brings everybody back to the topic, What is this Article About? shifting allegiances and incipient crises _between European powers_, or something else?
and an addiction to brevity more generally wouldn't hurt in other sections -- see Causes of the Scramble -- do we need to know, in this article, that Hobson influenced Lenin and Arendt?

Could you please comment on the remarks I parked at the Henri, Comte de Boulainvilliers discussion page ? Much obliged, ( Lunarian 14:01, 13 June 2006 (UTC))
Hello Lapaz, welcome to my talkpage. You were right about the point I wanted to make. Sorry to steal your time. I'll let you know about a short counternote. Meanwhile thanks for a very civil and interesting reply. Poigné de main. ( Lunarian 18:57, 16 June 2006 (UTC))
I gave my final (?) counterargument on User:Lunarian before the editory onslaught. There will be nothing nobel in that, we can asure you (-: pun intended :-) ( Lunarian 11:41, 17 June 2006 (UTC))
When the Boulainviller article improves, your efforts will most certainly have counted for much. Think of the added satisfaction this little debate gives to a summernight in a garden among friends. It's already an asset to know you. Keep well.
I don't have a particular problem with this text, except that it clearly does not belong under a section about anthropology in the United States. Seeing as the article is over the recommended length I think it would be better in History of anthropology.
The other text I removed is mostly present in History of anthropology. It is also unverified, but I can live with the insertion of some citation needed tags.-- Birdmessenger 16:35, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Greetings, I see that you have added to the category German philosophers in the recent past. I have called for a renaming of the category, and want to invite you to join discussion. The more rational voices, the better. (My suggestion is to rename to "German-language philosophers," so that the category becomes one of language rather than ethnicity.)

If you don't mind, may I deal with Ed Poor's concerns first, then work on restoring your edits? Ed Poor is a particularly difficult editor to deal with on this subject, and it becomes way too confusing if both of you are making massive changes at the same time.

Thanks for uploading Image:Franco y Hitler.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Oh, dear. I'm afraid I know little about the subject in general, but was aware of that one fact and mentioned it only because it was said that non-Japanese could not become Japanese citizens. I might have one or two sources I can dig up at home, but RL has been troublesome lately and I've had little time for contributions requiring much research. Still, I'll put the article on my watchlist, and will add something when I can. TCC (talk) (contribs) 04:42, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Please don't cut the contents from an article and paste it at one with another title if you can't move it automatically (see Help:Moving a page#Page histories). Instead, place a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves and wait for an administrator that's willing to make the proper move for you. If it's a potentially contestable request, it's likely the admin would like to see that there is a consensus for doing so. -- Dissident ( Talk) 03:44, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

If there are any articles or documents in particular that you'd be interested in, please feel free to let me know. I have access to many of them and have a large overstuffed filing cabinet about the history of forced sterilization (I have not been working on it lately, but I spent a number of years researching it), as well as many articles, photocopies from books, etc. that it would be almost trivial for me to digitize and send to you as a PDF. Unfortunately, as I mentioned on the talk page, most of the literature on the topic does not answer what I consider to be very basic questions (why and when did it stop? being the most basic of them); one of my long-term goals is to actually answer those sorts of questions in my own work (I have some answers in limited cases, such as California, but as it is not yet published it would be OR to put it on Wikipedia of course), but I won't be turning back to those things for some time now (I am currently engaged in very different research and will be for a number of years). But again, if you are interested in anything in particular or can't get access to something please let me know and I might be able to get a copy of it to you without too much hassle (they have high-speed scanners at my university which I use very frequently in my work; it is not hard to add another document or book to the stack). -- Fastfission 16:21, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Hello, Lapaz, and thank you for the information on the status of the above. Thank you also for your advice on the Aftermath of World War I talk page, which I have now followed. I am a relative newcomer to this, but I have quickly become aware that some people have what I can only describe as perverse political agendas, with little bearing on encyclopedic truth. I will do my best to provide additional citations for the Herero and Namaqua Genocide.
Can I ask for your advice to a different, but not completely unrelated matter? The user Maria Stella you mentioned has created an odd page entitled Anti-Germanism. I am not quite sure what the purpose is, but I think it relates to debates she has had with you, and others, on matters touching on German subjects. This whole page, in my view anyway, is not a genuine encyclopedia entry, but a form of political sourness. (Do the 'Germans' in question also include the Swiss?). It would be possible to put 'Anti' in front of any nation, race, people or community in the world and produce a similar 'article'. I would like to put it up for deletion, but I am not sure how to go about this. I would be grateful for your help. White Guard 02:02, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:1931 Counter Exhibition.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

Hi Lapaz,
Happy New Year.
I came here to tell you about an article that I stumbled over ( Colonial mentality) but I noted that you had not edited the Colonialism since last September. Looking higher up on this page, I notice that you had a dispute with User:Gsd2000 around that time. Presumably, you gave up in frustration and moved on to other articles.
I have not looked at the Colonialism article in a long time and I haven't had time to look at Colonial mentality yet. However, I thought I would drop you a quick note to tell you about it and suggest that you take a look at it.
In any event, I hope you are doing well.
Richard
I am also having problems with the person behind User:Gsd2000, and hoped he would stop his reverting habits if someone else talked to him about it. I have made an entry at User Conduct about this; I do not wish to spend too much time dealing with him, can you visit the User Conduct page and help? 58.107.15.245 07:10, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I merely put them into an infobox, and checked the accuracy of the figures against the individual country articles and the CIA Factbook. Please explain. DBQer 03:06, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't see why you created Category:Deep ecology. There are only really two articles that seem to be suitable, unless you want to include Naess etc. Do you have any arguments why I should not WP:CFD it? For the mean time I will move it to a different category; it's certainly not part of ecology as ecology is a science, not a philosophy (and the use of 'ecology' (the study of the distribution and abundance of life) is fairly arbitrary, it could just have easily been called 'deep biology').

Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 11:37, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
The article Body without organs has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

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
