| I hadn't realized you'd been part of boylover culture for a long time. (I was trying to find a nice way of saying "you're an old-timer") I was thinking, the way to get at the truth sometimes is to look at what was going on around the time that new prohibitions were imposed. For example, what were people saying about pedophilia, adult-child sex, and child porn just before, during, and after 1977? What counter-arguments to the new legislation were raised before it became impossible to argue for that legislation's defeat or repeal without being denounced and shunned? There's usually useful information in the record from those moments in history. People made sure that their objections got recorded for people like us to read later. [[User:Lysander|Lysander]] ([[User talk:Lysander|talk]]) 03:25, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

| :::I'm fascinated with the history of the pedophilia/age-of-consent-reform movement, and with the political/social/cultural background surrounding major changes in legislation (for example, the banning of child porn).

| :::: The Problem with the early internet is most of that information did not get saved. And of course, there were no Wiki's to collect and preserver that information. That is not to say all that info is completely lost but it is very had to get to. As many different people saved different things or have knowledge of different things.

| :That is nice for them however BoyWiki is going to be categorized by hierarchy, although sub-categories may be a member of more than one category. The uppermost categories in the hierarchy are Encyclopedia, Entertainment, Life and everything else is a sub-category of one these main topic areas. Keep in mind that BoyWiki is not 100 percent an encyclopedia in the same way as Wikipedia. BoyWiki does not have such a narrow scope. BoyWiki is more of a repository of information pertaining to boylove history, culture, and heritage, art... etc.... We are not "BoyWikipedia" or "BoyEncyclopedia" and were never intended to be. If BoyWiki was actually a museum with a physical local, you would find separate rooms for the different areas of study. You wouldn't find Egyptian mummies in the same room as English folk art simply because they both start with the the letter "E".

| == Pro-Pedophilia and Wikipedia Child protection ==
| |
| | |
| Hello, the child protection policy on Wikipedia is rather troubling it seems basically like discrimination. The policy states that any user who "attempt to advocate inappropriate adult–child relationships on- or off-wiki (e.g. by expressing the view that inappropriate relationships are not harmful to children), or who identify themselves as pedophiles, will be blocked indefinitely.". It's rather disappointing, since Wikipedia is considered one of the greatest sources for unified human knowledge.

| I can understand why some people are scared to speak up for liberty, justice, etc. because they don't want to be labelled as pedophiles or pedophile sympathizers for supporting sexual freedom. It could negatively impact their families, careers, etc. But what explains why people don't stand up for those things anonymously? For example, why aren't there more editors of BoyWiki? They don't have to worry about getting kicked off this site, as would be the case at Wikipedia, for telling the whole truth.

| There's probably a large minority of the public that supports greater sexual freedom. Where are they? Why aren't they here? For that matter, why aren't there more boylovers here; why is BoyChat so much more popular than BoyWiki, when it comes to sites people want to participate in?

| I think it would be interesting to consider, (1) how much suffering do child pornography laws prevent, by deterring child sexual abuse and the viewing of the images resulting from that abuse; and (2) how much suffering do child pornography laws cause, through incarceration of children's parents?

| Let's suppose there are two alternate universes. In universe A, child porn laws are enforced; in universe B, they aren't. In universe A, 100 child porn videos are produced, and viewed by 100,000 people; and 50,000 people are locked up for child porn offenses. In universe B, 1,000 child porn videos are produced, and viewed by 10,000,000 people. So, we have a difference of 900 victims, and the universe B victims suffer more because their videos are viewed more.

| However, in universe A, 50,000 people are locked up, so their children have to deal with the absence of their parent. Why would it be considered worth this cost in human suffering to the innocent, to prevent 900 people from being victimized, and to reduce the suffering of those 100 who were victimized anyway?
| | Hi Etenne, I am happy that you are happy with my work! I know that I can put pages into categories! |

| Looking at the current state of affairs, there seem to be a small number of child porn series being distributed to a large number of viewers, many of whom eventually get busted. Might not a cost-benefit analysis show that this is causing more harm to children than it's preventing? [[User:Lysander|Lysander]] ([[User talk:Lysander|talk]]) 08:59, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

To all users
It would be a good idea to review this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view
In short, the neutrality of point of view leads to an objective, "scientific" discourse, whereas non-neutrality leads to one-sided views and propaganda.
An important point is perhaps to understand that specific sympathies are not incompatible with a neutral point of view: you can like a country, a person, an amorous preference, and nevertheless be able of an objective discourse about it.
Only objectivity is credible. That's why it is vital for BoyWiki. We don't "promote", we explain and illustrate. --Etenne (talk) 12:25, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
Please ask yourself before hitting the post button
- Dose this have a cultural or historical relavance to boylove?
- By posting this are you going to make Etenne lose sleep?
To all BoyWiki users:Naming
The convention for naming pages is that articles should be singular whereas categories should be plural.
- Names of topics and topic categories should be singular, normally corresponding to the name of a BoyWiki. article. Examples: "Law" (which represents a body of knowledge), "France", "George W. Bush".
- Names of set categories should be plural. Examples: "Writers", "Villages in Poland".
However, I am willing to hear counter arguments to this practice or suggestions before deciding what the policy should be --Etenne (talk) 13:17, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
- Just yesterday I noticed that Wikipedia has categories with a singular title, e.g. wikipedia:Category:Vagina. Also, there are some plural article titles, e.g.wikipedia:Jews. Lysander (talk) 15:13, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Welcome back
I was glad to read your message on BoyChat and to see you're back. Then I thought: is there any hope left that the French BoyWiki will survive? :-/
Bron disappeared, I don't know when, why nor where. So did the French tech Pinocchio, which is a great loss. Some rare contributors obstinately continued creating pages on the French wiki between 2015 and 2019. But now I think they are disheartened because of the recent and sudden software change, that ruined all the formatting we had made on a lot of pages (thanks to Pinocchio's coding extensions).
Now it seems that the Council's page doesn't work anymore -- or am I wrong?
If you can be of some help, I'd like to write more to you through a secure mailbox.

- I categorized all the daily pages of the French Agora, from December 7, 2008 to July 9, 2014 (most of them were difficult to find before this categorization): Agora
- Now everybody can see the really tough job that had been made by many contributors of the French BoyWiki, especially by the tech Pinocchio. It is not acceptable that such a job is destroyed after every update or server change, as exposed here: Modifications intempestives (written more than eight months ago – nobody even bothered to answer).
- But do French-speaking writings matter?... :-/
- Caprineus (talk) 13:55, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
- "But do French-speaking writings matter?" Well, I suppose that depends on who you ask. I would hope they matter to other French-speaking people and writers. I still don't have e-mail yet. Yeah, the upgrades do mess things up a bit but there is no way around that.
- Etenne
- Thank you for answering.
- The true problem is: when Wikipedia runs an update of MediaWiki, all features already installed are kept and perform correctly; but when BoyWiki is updated, almost all features created by a tech are suppressed. Why?
- This is not "messing things up a bit", but destroying things a lot. :-( As I said before, when contributors see this, they are disheartened.
- I hope you can contact somebody who steps in on this wrong update process. As for me, I know nobody, and can do nothing: my only competence is to write about cultural boy-love topics. If "there is no way around" to keep my job in a good state and appearance, well... I will finally recognize that I was wrong to spend so much time and energy for it. :-(((
