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)

1. Dose this have a cultural or historical relavance to boylove?

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)

Hey! You didn't enlighten me about what those two errors are due to. Lysander (talk) 04:10, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Adding a review

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. 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... --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. 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, Lysander (talk) 19:47, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

Please fix categories for Child Rescue Coalition

I can't figure out what I did wrong. Wanker (talk) 12:20, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

You used the wrong brackets. I have done that before too--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 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 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. Lysander (talk) 17:43, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

"Village pump"?

Di we have a page here for wiki-related discussions? __meco (talk) 13:28, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Yes, https://www.boywiki.org/en/BoyWiki:Agora BoyWiki:Agora We are kind of into the ancient Greek culture :)--Etenne (talk) 13:42, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

You are, huh? Who'd have thunk… ;-) __meco (talk) 13:48, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Uploading?

Hello,

How can I upload a picture or two? Haiduc (talk) 17:49, 24 November 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. Lysander (talk) 17:50, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Geez

These days, BoyChat is starting to have almost as much downtime as GirlChat. Lysander (talk) 22:09, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, but it is good to have a break now and then..... I personally plan to get quite drunk tonight. --Etenne (talk) 22:29, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

A vicious cycle

I want to donate to Free Spirits to help defend against DDoS attacks, but I guess the attackers took down the donation page too! Lysander (talk) 04:13, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Yes, and I do not know for how long it will be down. I will know more maybe by Monday. --Etenne (talk) 04:51, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

But I want BoyChat to be back up NOW! Lysander (talk) 15:52, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

The Tech. people are working on that but I have been given no ETA on when they will finish. When you are a BL, you learn to be patient :) --Etenne (talk) 16:21, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

BC will be back sometime on Monday, after the new security features are added. --Etenne (talk) 15:37, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

BoyChat is now back online--Etenne (talk) 20:22, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

The donation page still isn't working beyond the first step of the pledge process though. Lysander (talk) 22:30, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

The donation page still isn't working!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! Lysander (talk) 04:10, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I know. I have no idea when it will be up and running again. --Etenne (talk) 12:41, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Is BoyChat going the way of Newgon? Lysander (talk) 01:47, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

No, just a minor annoyance. We BL's move slowly but we keep moving..... if you knew how many times BoyChat was in real danger of dying, you'd be amazed that we are still here 20 years later. Someday the antis may win but that day is not today or anytime soon. --Etenne (talk) 02:47, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

NEVER GIVE UP

THERE'S ALWAYS A CHANCE THAT YOUR DREAMS CAN BECOME A REALITY. Lysander (talk) 01:32, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, I am not sure that is going to work but we will see. --Etenne (talk) 02:45, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Especially since I forgot my pledge number and never got an email, so now I have to do a new pledge. Lysander (talk) 10:29, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi. I'm alive, and, well...

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...

Well, I'm "Internetized" again, as of about two hours ago. But I'm still too busy to contribute much here... sorry about that...

Anyway, I'm just saying "hello". I hope you're OK. You may have been wondering if I was still alive...

BTW-- I don't remember much of the Wiki coding that I had learned, so expect errors for awhile in anything I do contribute...

Cheers! À bientôt

User4 (talk) 17:09, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

I am glad you are doing well and look forward to your future contributions to BoyWiki. I suppose that wiki code is rather like riding a bike ... --Etenne (talk) 17:52, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Nice! What other "smileys" do we have available?

User4 (talk) 13:58, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

That and just the regular one are the only ones I have added so far. I just happened to like that one and decided to add it to my signature (until I get bored with it) Collecting BL related graphics is a hobby. --Etenne 14:10, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Problems with User4

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. Wanker (talk) 01:26, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

What to work on

Where would my finite efforts be most useful? I have a Ph.D. In history/literature; also very good at English and editing. Wanker (talk) 01:54, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
