Welcome

Welcome! And I have to say you that you did a great work :) --millosh 04:09, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I'm planning to stick around... i was basically driven away from Wikipedia yesterday, and was driven by adrenaline. But i'm going to continue going. Funny thing is that right now i'm on my job, it's just that i that no work to do at the moment... q;-) I like it that in Anarchopedia one can actually make article names non-capitalised. User:Beta m/sig

Great :) I was sure that some expirienced Wikipedians would come to Anarchopedia. Because a lot of people (as well as a lot of anarchists) are not familiar with wikis. And the way of working on wiki is a lot different from work on other site. (And, yes, work is not right word, but my English is not so good :) ) BTW, you are Russian? Do you want Anarchopedia in Russian? BTW2, do you know do work on GNU/Linux? --millosh 08:50, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I would be considered Russian by many people, and i think that is what you are talking about... right? q;-) I wouldn't mind getting russian version of Anarchopedia started, but let me get english version down to the degree when people can actually use it as some sort of a refference. Btw, in your opinion what is the main point of Anarchopedia, what i'm trying to do is to actually show how encyclopedia can be written without any regulations... so it would be to see if Wikipedia is the only way or only one way. User:Beta m/sig

Initially, I started a small number of languages for Anarchopedia. Even there are a lot of Spanish speaking anarchists, I spa: is not so active. Italian Anarchopedia doesn't have 2 articles. So, I stopped openning of new languages until there are some people who are interested in writing Anarchopedia in their language. I noticed that your name is Russian and I thought that you mey want to open Anarchopedia in Russian. --millosh 08:21, 12 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I agree that Anarchopedia in English should be much better then it was before you came. Anarchopedia in German and in fra:French are much better then this one. And only because there were no people who wanted to do what you are doing now. (My English is not so good; also I am trying to be involved in creating articles as less as I can because I think that people should not care what do I think about exact content of articles.) --millosh 08:21, 12 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I started Anarchopedia with this ideas: (1) Free knowledge is one of the main anarchist goals and "one big anarchist encyclopedia" should be written in such way. (However, there is Infoshop OpenWiki which is older then Anarchopedia, but it has some disadvantages; as well as we can treat Wikipedia as enough good place for encyclopedic articles about anarchism.) So, the first, but not the most important reason is to build "encyclopedia about anarchism" in "anarchic fashion" ;) (2) Anarchopedia should be, also, "encyclopedia for anarchists", which includes (in general) something like "general encyclopedia without right wing POV and without authoritarian POV" (even it is called NPOV on Wikipedia). So, in general, all articles from Wikipedia are welcome here. Of course, with some changes :) (3) I would not say that Anarchopedia would be "without regulations", but "without power structure". All editors of Anarchopedia are equal and they are regulating Anarchopedia. I think that you did mean the same. (4) And, maybe the most important idea is to see how can we build anarchy, at least in cyrber space. I treat Anarchopedia as some kind of social experiment (but, of course, not only as a social experiment): if we have enough responsibility and enough strength to build "Wikipedia without power structure", we would be able to say that we have enough responsibility and enough strenght to build anarchy in the future. Also, successful Anarchopedia would give possibility for successful (Anarchopedian) community, which would be a great event. --millosh 08:21, 12 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome

Thanks for the welcome. I notice you copy content from other wikis to here; you are more than welcome (encouraged) to copy content from the wiki I started on veganism / animal rights, wikiveg. The license is dual GFDL/CC-by-sa, which allows for content to be used under either license. Zach Alexander 21:53, 13 Mar 2006 (UTC)

I'll start on that one when i finish with the some other ones... thanks for the heads up. User:Beta m/sig

Hi beta_m. I think you won't be able to log into your user account since it starts with a lower-case letter. Perhaps this is due to a software upgrade. Rev 22 10:40, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
