Thanks

Hey, thanks for the message. I've been editing Wikipedia whenever I see an issue for 3 years or so, why did I get this message just now? Was it automated?

In any case, thank you. With nothing to do at my new job I'll probably be editing a lot more :-) Battamer (talk) 00:38, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Well thank you again then. It certainly is encouraging to get a message from a real person. Have a good day :-D.Battamer (talk) 12:49, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks

• Hi "Docteur Cosmos", many thanks for the welcome and some helpful advise, good to know that somebody is out there to help and assist! Merci Beaucoup! Ulan76 (talk) 07:42, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

I have restored the semi-protection on this page per your request. It appears that the edit protection was accidentally removed when another admin added move protection to the article. Let me know if I can help with anything else. caknuck _° is geared up for football season 03:36, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for your welcome. This looks like it might be a lot of fun and a good learning experience. Thanks, too, for your offer of help. There certainly is a lot of information about Wikipedia to digest. --1948vintage (talk) 15:43, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

HI

A few ago weeks I got a welcome message from you and I only just figured out how to send people messages. Here's a barnstar.

Deleuze and Chomsky

Certainly. The famous A Thousand Plateaus (1988) discusses Chomsky in a lot of detail; linguistics is very prominent in that text. Grunge6910 (talk) 13:53, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm pretty certain he's never responded. Judging from his very low opinion of French postmodernism, I'd wager that, yes, he thinks it's utter gibberish. I'm inclined to agree; when the postmodernists talk about science it usually has very little bearing on reality. Grunge6910 (talk) 15:39, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

i wanna be anarchy

To be an anarchist is also something of a cliché? But I agree that this debate has not much usefulness left. Also people like Paul Goodman or Kenneth Rexroth or Robert Duncan were both anarchists and also establishment. As is the whole of France--Radh (talk) 12:25, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm afraid my english isn't good enough to catch your humor... France isn't anarchist at all. DocteurCosmos (talk) 13:09, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

a shame, we germans always want the French to be born anarchists.--Radh (talk) 13:54, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, you've got the anarch figure conceived by Jünger. DocteurCosmos (talk) 14:06, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Does that not say it all, even our anarchists are soldiers at heart (my father also was a soldier and very much an anarchist at home). I have an enormous respect for Jünger and his conduct in the Third Reich seems to have been blameless. And it is nearly impossible to today read Jünger as he first published his stuff, he censored/changed his writings massively according to his outlook, so one has to be careful there.--Radh (talk) 14:23, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

It is writer's freedom. DocteurCosmos (talk) 15:21, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

The Greek are often anarchists. Mind if I add a random comment to this discussion?--Spongefrog (talk) 20:06, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

OK, I give it, let Chomsky be an anarchist, too.--Radh (talk) 09:50, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Actually, my above comment was based on graffiti I saw somewhere, Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 20:33, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Jünger and nazism

Me, again. I am at the moment involved in an ugly spat at german Wikipedia concerning "Ernst Jünger and his political guilt". I like to get your opinion on this topic. Are there any good sources, that give Adolf Hitler's (or other leading Nazi's) opinions on Ernst Jünger. Or, but perhaps too extensive, are there any well founded books or articles on Ernst Jünger's influence on the Nazi movement? I have Schüddekopf here, also (some minor stuff only) from Mohler and I have heard of Dupeux (will read him, but have not yet seen anything by him).--Radh (talk) 07:32, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Louis Dupeux is certainly one of the best sources on this topic but there are plenty of books about "Jünger and the nazis" as you guess. As an introduction you can read Jünger's entry in Who's Who in Nazi Germany on Google Books. Something important in this debate : Innere Emigration. Anyway, to speak of "guilt" isn't a good historiographical perspective. Jünger was indeed a right-wing nationalist but were all these political activists Hilter's supports ? Of course not. See Ernst Niekisch for example. Anyhow, Jünger left the political arena around 1933.

I could tell you more about this matter but my english isn't good enough... DocteurCosmos (talk) 08:16, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, It is exactly my opinion that there is a fundamental difference between the Nationalbolschewisten and even Nationalsozialisten like the Strassers and "mainstream" NSDAP. But this is one of the things (other than my big mouth and the brilliant idea to use 88 for provocation!) that got me into this mess at de Wikipedia. I will follow your leads and then simply will have to get the Dupeux. Bis bald.--Radh (talk) 08:35, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Peter A. Levine / Robert A. Levine confusion

On 7 June 2007 an editor created an article Robert A. Levine but within the article both the names Robert and Peter were used. The next month you moved the article to Peter A. Levine with the comment "moved Robert A. Levine to Peter A. Levine: Real name" and subsequently all instances of Robert were changed to Peter. A related redirect has been nominated over at RfD, and we'd appreciate your input if you recall whether this was a typo (wordo?) or if Robert is a name he is known by. -- ToE^T 01:55, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello

You seem lonely, so I thought I'd say hi. So here it is: "Hi", Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 20:32, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

It's kind, thanks. DocteurCosmos (talk) 06:41, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
