Klietmann re-direct

Your re-direct has caused some serious problems with the Wolfgang Klietmann article. Michael 05:11, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh, don't worry. I fixed it. Somehow, you had made a re-direct, as did someone else, so they looped to each other's re-directs. I managed to go back to the original version and tidied it up. Michael 05:17, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the heads-up. I think you covered it pretty well, though I disagree with the prioritizing. It seems to me that uses which are exclusive should take precedence over uses which are secondary synonyms for more accepted terms. Thus its academic use is not "third." Also you forgot the use of "pederasty" as a synonym for anal sex with either men or women, from which the Italians derived the amusing "pederastia su donne", as well as the positive use which might have been employed by Wilde, Gide and the like. But there is a limit to what can be done in a couple of lines. Regards, Haiduc 01:11, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion

Hi, I notice you have tagged a couple of articles for speedy deletion as "non-notable, advertising". This is not one of the criteria for speedy deletion. Please use the specific tags such as {{db-bio}} when marking articles for speedy deletion. Thanks, Gwernol 04:05, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

pedophilia and sexual orientation

If you review the paraphilia subsection of sexual orientation I am confident that you will see why your revert justification is nonsensical. It states only that gender-preference orthogonality is untrue of pedophilia, not that its consideration as an orientation is inappropriate.

Re: Rachel dubuc

Actually no, I it was somebody else who initially deleted the article. I just noticed the article's creation on Vandal Fighter, and deleted it again. - Mike Rosoft 20:15, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

A PAW extended in welcome

Hi Dan! Welcome to WP:PAW, I look forward to working with you! Herostratus 04:48, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, hi back. Nice work on the CSA intro. DanB DanD 04:55, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

NYT article

You may be interested in this New York Times article [1].

• In the pedophiles’ world view, not all sexual abuse is abuse. There is widespread condemnation and hatred of adults who engage in forcible rape of children. But otherwise, acts of molestation are often celebrated as demonstrations of love.
• In essence, the groups deem potentially injurious acts and beliefs harmless. That is accomplished in part by denying that a victim is injured, condemning critics and appealing to higher loyalties — in this case, an ostensible struggle for the sexual freedom of children. Pedophiles see themselves as part of a social movement to gain acceptance of their attractions. The effort has a number of tenets: that pedophiles are beneficial to minors, that children are psychologically capable of consenting and that therapists manipulate the young into believing they are harmed by such encounters.

Registration is free if they require it. -Will Beback 20:59, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Not news to anyone on Wiki! To me the co-opting of the language of "sexual liberation" is particularly rankling.

Michigan law

Hi Dan, just to clarify: sexual penetration of a person aged 13-15 in Michigan is third degree CSC, not fourth, and there is no exception for a person close in age or even the same age. Fourth degree CSC involves only non-penetrative sexual touching. St. Jimmy 03:35, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

le scandale!

ephebophilia

Hi - thanks for reverting Fiction article title etc. Can you do the film one too, I don't know how to edit a title. Tony 08:58, 22 August 2006 (UTC)Tony

Hi. You just click the "Move" tag and it prompts you for the new title. It automatically creates a redirect page from the old title. DanB†DanD 18:57, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Erostratus

Nope. Is it related to Herostratus?

• Ah, probably the Satre story then, which is based on me. Herostratus 18:23, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Examples

Thank you for agreeing with me that the Examples bit you just removed was POV. The guy who put it in doesn't appear to see this, and you missed my lengthy talk page sermon on it. I'm hoping this disagreement won't escalate further now. --84.71.118.198 22:51, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

No problem. It was OR as much as NPOV.

As principles, I suppose the two overlap somewhat... OR is perhaps inherently non-NPOV...--84.71.118.198 22:59, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
