Franklin mountains, as seen from the east, looking Northeast, next to the
Buffalo Soldier memorial of El Paso, in Fort Bliss. The peaks of the range which are visible in the image are, from south to north (left to right) are South Mount Franklin, North Mount Franklin, and Anthony's Nose. The range of mountains in the background, to the right (Northeast, behind the
Mesquite tree on the right of the image) are the
Organ Mountains, on the east side of
Las Cruces, New Mexico. The pass between the Franklin mountains and the Organ mountains was a former course of the
Rio Grande, millions of years ago. There was a time when the entire area was undersea, as evidenced by fossilized
Exogyra Ponderosa to be found in the fossil beds at the foot of
Mount Cristo Rey.

Sweet Promised Land
We'll find the place which God for us prepared,
Far away in the West,
Where none shall come to hurt or make afraid;
There the Saints will be blessed.
We'll make the air with music ring,
Shout praises to our God and King;
Above the rest these words we'll tell—

Dear Ancheta,
When I replied to you on the perception page, I did not know who you are here. Now I realised that my references to little egos were probably needless. Thank you for taking an interest.
I am writing you here because I integrated the story about Jacques de Vaucanson’s The Duck – an artificial duck made of gilded copper, which drank, ate, quacked, splashed about in the water and digested its food like a living duck. I integrated it in my book and I think that you might be interested in it.
Thank you again.

Dear Ancheta,
I think that I have found a solution for your dilemma: “But what about the poor guy for whom the rewrite is just words?” I was just about to answer you, but found instead that a little ego simply removed my proposal for rewrite, your replies and incoherent mumbling of a religious man who claims that he is not religious...
I think that Wikipedia has much bigger issue with little egos (or “poor guys for whom the rewrite is just words”) than I thought. And I think that I have a solution for this also, but for this some things need to be changed. And this takes time...
I will therefore suggest an experiment as a temporary solution. Let us have a second page associated to the Perception article open to users to discuss the article and exemplify, but not to delete each other’s thoughts. This might need occasional filtering, but would provide plenty to think about.
I might be able to restore the discussion page, but I do not wish to impose. I will therefore leave the matter in your hands and suspend my involvement. Would you, please, notify me about a solution at damir@zip.com.au? Thank you.

Hi there. Please excuse my edit summary at Portal:Contents/Quick index but I (wrongly) assumed you weren't an admin because although you put up the template, the page wasn't actually protected. I'm guessing you simply forgot. I've left the template off for now until it is protected. Sorry again! — Ashanda ( talk) 20:41, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi. You added the sprotect template, but according to the logs the page has yet to be actually protected. (hence the bot removed the template ;) -- Quiddity 17:35, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi again. There seems to be some problem with the page protections here. [I'm as concerned for your blocking software, as I am for the pages in question!]
To summarize all I know: both those pages ( Portal:Contents/Categorical index and Portal:Contents/Quick index) are editable if I log-out, and neither of them have any protection-level changes in their logs. ( [1] and [2])
However... the logs for Portal:Contents also appear empty, yet it was protected back on March 21/22, 2007, and it is correctly-uneditable by anon.
I'm not sure who should be informed about this, or if I'm just missing some key datum? (Feel free to reply here) -- Quiddity 18:13, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Dear Ancheta, In fact I did knit that hat. That's not a great ever picture of it, though, as it hadn't yet been blocked to shape. It was cold in Brussels that day, so I put it on. Thanks for wondering. Danese ( talk) 17:19, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
I'm unsure how to reply on your talk page but HAPPY ME DAY nonetheless! __earth ( Talk) 09:00, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi Ancheta,
Could you check your recent edits to History of Science. The notes you added seem unusually fragmented; the first set reads as if they should have been a single note (or at most two), since the later notes refer back to the first. The reference to Homer's Odyssey seems very vague, could you cite specific passages from Homer?
Also, I'm a bit surprised to see Science and Civilisation in China cited as an authority on Maya practices.
I don't want to make changes myself without having the sources in front of me. -- SteveMcCluskey ( talk) 03:46, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi Ancheta Wis. I came across one of your comments from February ( here) which was in relation to a discussion here. Well, whatever happened then, the image is up for deletion again at the Commons. I believe that it may be because there was an error with the image and so it had to be reuploaded, and now there's this deletion discussion here. In that discussion back in February, I am interested to hear from you about why you believed the image was up for deletion incorrectly in the past, and/or explain why it was kept the last time? If you can explain why Image:Ibn haithem portrait.jpg was kept or should be kept, I would appreciate your reply, particularly with the article Ibn al-Haytham undergoing a GAN review, and this problem is obviously causing a hindrance to that. The relevant Commons discussion is here. Hope you can help clear this up! Deamon138 ( talk) 06:57, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
Ancheta - you've previously expressed interest in a Chicago wiki-meet. If you're interested in coming to another one, take a look at Wikipedia:Meetup/Chicago 3 and let us know your thoughts. best — Dan | talk 18:34, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

LOL - I don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed about my "crusty old timer" status. However for the sake of veracity, let me state that regardless of what the history logs say, I was NOT the creator of Scientific Method. That honour goes to Lee Daniel Crocker.

I am going to do precisely as you have suggested once this settles down. The big problem is that there are over two thousand links at www.oss.net to works by OTHERS, but everytime I post a link someone thinks that because it goes to oss.net, the Central Bank of OSINT, it is self-promotion. Easiest way to understand is to view www.oss.net/LIBRARY, and look at, for example, all the wonderful Law Enforcement or Training links I could post but have been loath to do so.
Two big improvements we can make if we can settle this "self-promotion" thing:
1) All the good links for each of the eight tribes under each tribe for direct reference
2) Get the internationals to create their own sections, e.g. Eastern Europe, every single one of them now has a vibrant OSINT capability in aftermath of breakup of the USSR, similarly in Africa and Latin America, OSINT is doing GREAT.
