EJ801193.pdf describes who benefits from pedosteria, and quotes from the other materials I linked to.
The_Cost_of_Homophobia discusses the suffering of gays from homophobia, and closely parallels pedo's problems - you can substitute "pedo" for "homosexual" in much of the article and it describes our problems exactly.
Interesting pic here. Maybe you can track down the artist?

BTW... there free are tools on the Web which (supposedly) take HTML markup and convert it to Wiki markup.
Check the links here:
https://www.google.de/search?hl=de&source=hp&biw=&bih=&q=online+convert+html+wiki+markup
I don't know if they work, how well they work, etc. You'll have to try them. They might make some of your "conversions" easier.
Hope you are feeling better.
Don't take certain stuff too seriously, OK? ;-)

RE: bmanolov.free.fr HTML to WIKI markup translation:
I don't see it working at all - I tested it on some HTML, and it did nothing. Maybe javascript being disabled in my browser is the problem? When you tested it, did you ''really'' notice changes made to the text you entered in the "to convert" field? I didn't see any.
RE: Witch Hunt in UK
... that you posted about.
If you look at the other articles the author has published, it is clear that she is a demented "child saver" (she has a 15-year-old girl to "protect").
http://www.express.co.uk/search/Sonia+Poulton?s=Sonia+Poulton&b=1
I wonder if Sonia Poulton could be educated in the facts about CL? Perhaps she should be contacted by someone knowledgeable, and made aware of a few things? Could Bernie do that?
Oh - one more thing. Did you recently get an email from me? Please confirm if you did or did not. You may choose to ignore my emails - that's your prerogative, and OK with me(?), but I ''would'' like to know if someone ''else'' is intercepting and deleting email sent to you. If so, I won't bother to email you any more.

Yes, when I tried it, it worked fine and changed the text from HTML to Wiki markup.
==To all users==
It would be a good idea to review this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view


Re: Sonia Poulton... You can't have a discussion with these types of fanatics. Pas vaut la peine.
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.


Yes, I got your email but that is one thing you should know about me. I am slow to respond, I don't like writing letters, or talking on the phone. I use to have a house phone but it was a waste because I refused to answer the thing. I do respond to my email, it just takes me a long time because I need to be really bored and in the mood.
Only objectivity is credible. That's why it is vital for BoyWiki. We don't "promote", we explain and illustrate. --[[User:Etenne|Etenne]] ([[User talk:Etenne|talk]]) 12:25, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

So how are you coming along on learning to wiki?
== To all BoyWiki users:Naming ==


--[[User:Etenne|Etenne]] 11:15, 10 March 2014 (GMT)
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".


''So how are you coming along on learning to wiki?''
*Names of set categories should be plural. Examples: "Writers", "Villages in Poland".


I'm in the middle of a ''lot'' of other things which are more important to me at this point. So many articles at BW need work that I don't really know where to begin. Of course, the place to start that is probably the most important is to make editing ''easy'' for new "scribes". I started that, but then got distracted by the other things I am working on elsewhere. Good, important stuff IMHO. Sorry about that. P~
However, I am willing to hear counter arguments  to this practice or suggestions before deciding what the policy should be --[[User:Etenne|Etenne]] ([[User talk:Etenne|talk]]) 13:17, 25 March 2015 (UTC)


''I will let you know when I actually use it for something if it makes my life more enjoyable, fulfilled, and meaningful  P~''
: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]]. [[User:Lysander|Lysander]] ([[User talk:Lysander|talk]]) 15:13, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 
You do that, OK? Like, I know you can't 'foresee the future' on the usefulness of that tool. P~

You should check this out:
 
http://wikiwig.sourceforge.net/
 
WYSIWYG means "what you see is what you get"
 
If you can install this, editing should be a breeze for new editors.
 
OK, OK - now for your excuses about "I can't because... It is too difficult because... I don't want to because... etc. etc.
 
Come on, dude - if you had this, then new "scribes" (gawd, how I ''hate'' that term!) would be able to quickly and easily edit BW pages.
 
Now, tell me how ''that'' would not be useful! P~
 
Now I'm back to looking for an "online wiki WYSIWYG editor" because waiting for BW pages to re-load is ''so so so fucking slow''!

There is also this:
 
https://userscripts.org/scripts/show/12529
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Cacycle/wikEd
 
... but it needs javascript enabled in your browser, which some do not like.
 
And this:
 
Create and format a document in Word as before, choose File – > Save As and select MediaWiki* under file types. Word will now convert and save the document in Wiki style markup. The add-in is supported on Microsoft Office Word 2007 and Office 2010.
 
http://www.labnol.org/software/wysiwyg-wiki-editor/18062/
 
... and this:
 
Alternatively, you can use any HTML editor – like Dreamweaver or Live Writer – and then convert your HTML tags into Wiki markup using that HTML to WIKI markup tool I introduced

What we need is this:
 
An "editing help" file that can be kept open in another tab or window, which has the possible markup in a TOC with a link to the section describing it, and a "return" link to the TOC.
 
Or do we have that already?
 
(... 5 minutes later)
 
I just went looking for "editing help". I know you gave me info on it, but I don't remember where. I tried under the [[help]] category, but it is not there. I checked under [[special categories]] but it is not there. I'm sure I can find it, but let me tell you - the average "scribe" would give up much sooner than I would! And then you'd be left with "one less scribe". People don't want to go on wild-goose chases. They want things easy to find, readily accessible, at their fingertips.
 
That is what wiki software is supposed to do!!!
 
Why doesn't BW work that way?
 
(... 5 minutes later)
 
I found what I had added:
 
https://en.boywiki.org/wiki/Full_list_of_wiki_markup_notation
 
I'll guess at a correct link:
 
[[Full_list_of_wiki_markup_notation]]
 
(NOTE: If I had what I'm talking about, I would not NEED to guess.)
 
It needs to have the extraneous info removed (Egyptian characters? We are unlikely to need those), put the markup code within the text, then have a "back to TOC" link for each one.

Let's see. There are a number of "steps" necessary for a wiki to have good content. First, there must be the basic information, which someone has to search for and find. Then a "basic" entry must be made, then the entry has to be "prettied up" with correct wiki markup, then it must be proofread, and then it is "finished" (barring the addition of new information).
 
Now, which of the above steps requires a great deal of patience, skill, and (perhaps) some unusual abilities?
 
*Proofreading for errors?
 
*Prettying up the entry with markup?
 
*Making the "basic" entry?
 
*Or locating good material which could be included in the wiki?
 
A "technician" can do the proofreading. He can do the "prettying up". He can do all the "donkey work".
 
But ''finding'' the stuff for inclusion - now ''that'' takes something unusual, doesn't it? And without which, none of the "technicians" would have anything to do.
 
Sure - all the steps are important. But having a record of a good site with a link to it, or having some important material (even in HTML markup, or otherwise deficient) is the first (and arguably, the ''most important'') step, wouldn't you agree?
 
For example, someone might start a page, and include a link to an (unusual, because it is "boylove friendly") Encyclopedia of Homosexuality, then ''others'' could put descriptions of, and links to, the important, relevant articles.
 
N'est-ce pas? ;- )

If I understand what you are asking, it is possible. Look at the source of this page [[Somersault's HTML Guide]], the little hand.gif sends you back to the TOC. It's just tedious and a pain in the ass to do.

Regarding getting Extension:TimedMediaHandler to work, can you post an example page or description of what the problem is? I can spend sometime on the Internet trying to track it down and report back if I find anything replicated.


How about you or another of the <strike>scribblers</strike> "scribes" here doing some work on it? There are notes in the file indicating things which need doing.
--[[User:Eskimo|Eskimo]] ([[User talk:Eskimo|talk]]) 13:35, 10 August 2022 (UTC)


One thing that needs doing quickly is moving the "special character" section to somewhere else, and fixing the tables in it, and then putting a link to the new fixed file.
== Categories ==


In the wiki markup "help" file there should only be the most common symbols that a <strike>scribbler</strike> "scribe" would need, right?
Hi Etenne, I am happy that you are happy with my work! I know that I can put pages into categories!

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)
