WikiProject Drug Policy[edit]

Hi there, I wanted to let you know about the formation of WikiProject Drug Policy, a project to organize and improve drug policy-related articles. You're welcome to join. Chin Chill-A Eat Mor Rodents (talk) 19:22, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be honoured, and have been doing some work/thinking on these matters from the perspective of Entheogens and more traditional uses. I'll leave more comments on the Project page, and thanks for the invite! Shamanchill (talk) 22:10, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, it was clearly deleted out of process and it shouldn't be hard to find an admin who will be willing to undelete it. WP:DRV might work too. 129.174.91.119 (talk) 23:18, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

off topic personal life question[edit]

How did you find out about your first rave? --AtTheAbyss (talk) 15:21, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not off topic at all, given my blurb and comments in ProjectRave. I got into electronica in my teens, but lived in the suburbs and didn't have access to any of the larger events that were going on in Toronto. I heard about a couple of smaller ones while I was living in Hamilton and going to McMaster University, but didn't attend for a number of reasons.

The first one I went to in Toronto was a BlackLightActivists event. I'm not sure that you'd term a Goa party as a traditional rave, but they're in the same family, for sure (albeit with an older, more anarchist/psychedelic orientation). I heard about it from friends I worked with who told me about the glow-in-the-dark hippies that played killer beats and created a surreal atmosphere at their events. It was a mind boggling experience.

I followed up the next weekend with a DeepSeaFish party, and before I knew it, I was hooked! During that second generation rave scene, Toronto had a number of good resources online (some of which are still llve) like Tribe Magazine and TorontoRaves.com for posting events. As the years went on, (I got into the scene in 2000 and began my own events - R351570R - in 2001) the clubs took over the postings and the boards and it became harder and harder to find venues. The crowd also died off somewhat, but has been rejeuvenated recently by a much younger crowd now doing the rounds and following in our footsteps. There are still posters all over town on lamp-posts showing each weekend's offering, and you'll find flyers in any of the clothing shops along Queen West.

I live in the states, but your info is still useful. Thanks. --AtTheAbyss (talk) 15:42, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Try http://www.sceneohio.com/ - they seem to have a decent forum and event posting board. I've been to Cincinnati and Cleveland before and clubbed in each city, but not raved or DJ'ed in either. What kind of music are you interested in? The types of raves tend to differ a fair bit along these lines, with DnB/Jungle/Breaks/Hardcore/IDM raves tending to be darker and with younger crowds, versus the Trance/House crowd (all clubbers) or the Techno/Goa/Psy scene (older but brighter and more attention to detail). SNUFF looks like the best offering on the board right now for an old-school rave, and the DEMF one looks very commercialized and clubby. BTW - if you want to continue this, let's move it to email... mine's chill@r351570r.com

WikiProject Drug Policy[edit]

I've restored the project page, the talk page, the template, and the userbox. Please let me know if there are any related undeletions you'd like to see happen. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 03:45, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, SI. I recall that a bunch of pages pertaining to US state-by-state legislation were deleted. I'm not sure what else there was but will look into it. Regards, Shamanchill (talk) 04:09, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 22:14, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done again. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 22:13, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Syncretic Omnitheist Axioms[edit]

Hi, and thanks for your post. I'm back after an unplanned break so I've got some time now to read it through. If you e-mail me the axioms from my page, I'll get back to you with those comments. Cheers, Gnostrat (talk) 00:13, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what's the matter with these e-mails. I have to assume you didn't get the one I mailed you at the address you provided. There shouldn't be a problem if you click on the "E-mail this user" option down the left side of my page. Or try gnostrat@yahoo.co.uk for the direct approach.

Stub tags[edit]

Hi Shamanchill. Regarding this edit, there's no need to add a {{stub}} tag to an article that already has a more specific stub tag applied (in this case, {{UN-stub}}). Also, when you do add a stub tag, it should go at the very bottom of the page, not the top. Thanks for helping to improve the encyclopedia! Powers ^T 10:57, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I was getting a bit excited last night in looking for Drug Policy pages. I've gone back over the ones flagged stub-class and made sure I didn't add the tag when there's a more specific one, and ones I added were moved to the bottom of pages. Regards, Shamanchill (talk) 20:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: PKD and Drug Policy[edit]

Thanks for the invite and for weighing in on the PKD category discussion. If there is a specific task your project needs help with, let me know. I'm particularly interested in cognitive liberty and neuroethics. Viriditas (talk) 14:10, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Necessity...[edit]

It was my pleasure! Actually I've only just started reading the Canopus in Argos series (finished Shikasta, which I found extraordinary) so I'll be touching these pages from time to time. But don't let me interrupt you – please continue! --Bruce1ee^talk 06:17, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP Antarctica collaboration[edit]

I was wondering if you want to work jointly on improving some articles with my help and your Antarctic Exploration publications. My idea was when I am browsing related articles for which I do not have a reliable source, that I make a note of the article title, information required and couple of keywords to point you in the right direction. Examples questions might be anything from what is the elevation of Mount Amundsen, can you verify the history of mapping the Shackleton Ice Shelf, to what are the effects of climate change on the Antarctic Peninsula. I would bundle these into a 5-10 tasks list and as soon as possible, you put aside maybe an hour a month to find specific answers and citations. I imagine the rate would be no more than once every 3 months. It would be up to you if you want to forward the results to me or put them in yourself. What do you think of this suggestion? - Shiftchange (talk) 21:31, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm very open to it. I must warn you, though, that the longer the lists the more I'll be able to do, as my collection currently sits in a library about an hour from my house. I get there every four to eight weeks, though, to redeposit what I've read and take new titles out. I'll try to keep a few key ones at home, though, for quick checks. My email should be listed above, and I check that more often than I check here, and if you want to correspond by phone, I can give you my number as well. Thanks for the invite, and I look forward to taking part. I've been eyeing the Cherry-Gerrard article for quite sometime, but haven't been able to grab my citations to do it properly. I can also prepare a list of titles for you to reference, if you'd like. It'll save having to type citations up for every fact checked and quote I can dig up for you. Regards, Shamanchill (talk) 01:31, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad we can co-operate on some Antarctica articles however clicking on "E-mail this user" link in the toolbox menu returns this message. "This user has not specified a valid e-mail address, or has chosen not to receive e-mail from other users". The same was happening to my email link, so I checked my preferences and re-confirmed my email adress as it has changed. Your welcome to message me so that I have your email address as in a few weeks I will probably have some requests that I'm hoping you can complete. If not I will try your email again later in the month and if it is still not working I will post them to your user talk page. - Shiftchange (talk) 03:32, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sufi Saints of South Asia[edit]

Hello Shamanchill. I notice that you are interested in Sufism. I have put forth a request on the Reward Board for assistance in bringing the Sufi Saints of South Asia article to at least B-class. All meaningful contributors will get barnstars. The article is in dire need of being developed. It is an important article in relation to the Islam in South Asia. Please help in developing the article. Regards--Shahab (talk) 06:52, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

SSDP uses ports 2869 and 1900[edit]

Dear Shamanchill,

as per [Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 832017 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;832017], aka "Service overview and network port requirements for the Windows Server system", SSDP uses ports 2869 and 1900. 2869 is for SSDP event notification, while 1900 is for SSDP other uses.

There's even an SSDP legacy event notification, at port 5000.

All the best,
--Hgfernan (talk) 23:01, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Shaman Chill![edit]

Dear Shaman Chill,

I'm reaching out to researchers and writers interested in the emerging, or re-emerging, movements inspired by ancient culture in the areas of religion/theology/mythology/culture...I spare-headed an artistic collaboration between a music professor, rock-vocalist and poet to create a modern multi-media experience of the cathardic journey inspired by ancient pagan poetic traditions; A romance to nature seen as a beautiful, divine and omnipotent woman.

It has singularly been my goal to respect tradition while allowing a free and spontaneous interpretation...I believe the utility of a quasi-rebirth of some aspects of the ancient religious tendancies would be achieved in an increase of tolerance, sympathy, and freedom of expression in our modern discoures on religion...so much needed. Until we have a cultural revolution tantamount to the politcal revolutions of the 18th and 19th centuries [aiding the rebirth of a government of, by and for the people] in the area of religion, I will not rest. Until the rebirth of religions which are of, by and for the people, as fluid as art, as deep as mythology and theology and as powerful as culture, I do not believe we will be truly free no matter what economic or political conditions surround us. Democracy without a democratic cultural is as frustrating as it is ineffectual.

If you have a moment could you peruse the poetry project site. http://www.misbeliever.net As you are a worker in these areas, having ebhanced the Wikipedia, the world's greatest encyclopedia, I would be very honored with any remarks or critisms you could offer either me or my collaborators.

thanks much,

sincerely
