== 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).


== Adding a review ==
Now it seems that the Council's page doesn't work anymore -- or am I wrong?
 
I'm about to type in a review of Show Me! In the journal Family Counselor, off of JStor.  Before putting in that effort, I wanted to be sure you had no problem with it. [[User:Wanker|Wanker]] ([[User talk:Wanker|talk]]) 16:39, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
:So long as it is not a copyright violation and appropriately referenced, it shouldn't be a problem. You can add excerpts etc... --[[User:Etenne|Etenne]] ([[User talk:Etenne|talk]]) 18:21, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
 
It is a copyright violation. Including the Show Me! preface is one. I suspect I could easily find more. I'm pretty knowledgable about copyright and my recommendation is to just ignore it, especially since you have no commercial purpose. The worst that could happen is someone sends a letter asking that something be taken down. They aren't going to use their lawyers' time with a nonprofit individual user with no money who's not selling anything. It's not worth it to them. [[User:Wanker|Wanker]] ([[User talk:Wanker|talk]]) 02:29, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
 
== Sex offender risk assessment ==
 
Can you please restore [[sex offender risk assessment]] to my userspace? Maybe it can eventually be improved to a point where it's suitable for mainspace. Thanks, [[User:Lysander|Lysander]] ([[User talk:Lysander|talk]]) 19:47, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 
== Please fix categories for Child Rescue Coalition ==
 
I can't figure out what I did wrong. [[User:Wanker|Wanker]] ([[User talk:Wanker|talk]]) 12:20, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
:You used the wrong brackets. I have done that before too--[[User:Etenne|Etenne]] ([[User talk:Etenne|talk]]) 12:46, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
 
== Relevance of CPS-related issues to boylove ==
 
Hey Etenne,
 
The anti-CPS movement doesn't have a wiki yet. To what extent, if any, would you consider [http://wiki.mises.org/wiki/Miscellany:Transcript_of_CPS_Whistleblower_Carlos_Morales_at_Liberty_Fest_NC this type of content] relevant to boylove? (Currently it's hosted at Mises Wiki, which will eventually go defunct because the Mises Institute's unspoken policy is to neither maintain nor destroy the wiki, and it's gradually rotting as the code becomes more and more outdated and begins to malfunction, an example being the InstantCommons which no longer works after Wikimedia's shift from http to https.)
 
The way I look at it, CPS is going to have a chilling effect on free speech as they take away the kids of anyone who is too outspokenly opposed to the age of consent, or who admits to having pedophilic desires. An example would be [http://nathania.org/w/images/c/c1/Piper_Morgan_Sparrow_Faye_amended_petition.pdf this petition] stating, "It has been reported that Father has pedophilic desires. . . . It is alleged that Father has posted numerous online material expounding justifications for sexual relations between adults and children, placing the welfare of the subject Child at risk. . . . Father admits his pedophilic desires".
 
The site asks, "Please ask yourself before hitting the save button Does this have a cultural or historical relevance to boylove?" Culture consists of values and norms, so could potentially extend into the political and legal realms. [[User:Lysander|Lysander]] ([[User talk:Lysander|talk]]) 17:43, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

== Exempt regulars from CAPTCHA ==
 
I wonder if regulars could be exempted from having to fill out the CAPTCHA all the time? See [[mediawikiwiki:Manual:$wgAutopromote]] for more info on how to accomplish that. I was thinking that maybe editors who have, say, 1,000 edits and have been here for 100 days could be exempted from the CAPTCHA. Thanks.

:"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.  
:[[User:Etenne|Etenne]]


I've been very very busy preparing materials for uploading. Of course, having lost my Internet connection several months ago did put a small crimp in my uploading style. Now dozens of books are in the pipeline, most simply waiting for final proofreading...
::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.

I have been working on the article on Browser security, which I think I know something about both technically and socially. (I went through having my computer seized and searched.) He comes in and puts in things that are just wrong, such as "TOR is secure". We're having a low key edit war and I'm pretty frustrated about it.

Subpages




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

  1. Dose this have a cultural or historical relavance to boylove?
  2. 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)
You can't figure out what those two (obvious, at least, to me) errors are due to? Uh... You certainly make up in glibness what you lack in perspicacity. User4 (talk) 02:37, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
Enlighten me. Lysander (talk) 03:16, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
