From Ande's front page: Ande B. is on sick leave.
Sorry everyone, especially Joema, I was hit by a sudden and rather nasty relapse of a degenerative nerve disease and have not been able to do much at all for nearly a month. I'm back to physical therapy, though, and hope to be back to Wikipedia with greater regularity by the end of the month.
You can reach me by wiki email: A friend is monitoring my mail and alerts me to urgent messages.
Thank you for your patient understanding,

Hi Ande B., thanks for the comment. It would be fine for Wikipedia to use an original translation as long as the copyright holder grants permission for use under the GFDL. If I do the translation, I'm the copyright holder, and I would grant permission. See WP:Copyrights for details.
It's also possible that copyrighted translations could be included in the article under the fair use provisions of copyright law, but Wikipedia discourages this.
Now, I'm not claiming that my translation would have much poetic quality to it--I tend to generate very clunky-sounding prosy translations. But at least I don't use "thee" and "thy," nor do I use odd rhyme schemes.

Ande,
Thank you for your polite response to my changes. Myth is a link to a disambiguation page and there is an effort to consolidate links so that they point to direct pages. If you search for myth on Wikipeidia, this page has several derivations. If you feel any of these specific links within "myth" would work better for the pages you reference, please feel free to change them. However, please refrain from linking towards simply myth in line with Disambiguation_pages. Thx. Netkinetic 18:57, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I hate pestering people's talk pages about AFD votes (or votes at all... it's very bad form really) but I've just done a huge amount of work on this article, and it is probably 80% different from when you voted. I have found a large number of English language references, and I have used <cite> so any reader or editor can identify where each individual statement in the article came from. That ought to deal with WP:V and WP:RS. As for notability, you can make your own decision: the relevant guideline says "Usually, books with an ISBN-number and/or availability in a couple dozen of libraries and/or a Project Gutenberg type website, and with a notability above that of an average cookbook or programmers manual would qualify". Which doesn't help really, since it's entirely subjective how you are going to compare notability of a best-selling paranoid gutter-press fantasy to a cookbook! If you rank this as below an average cookbook, I'm not going to argue with you :) TheGrappler 04:12, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Ande, I greatly appreciate your feedback and help on Biological psychiatry. I agree with your suggestions for improvments. However I'm afraid you've misread the conflict on that article.

If you notice about my page, it one of a kind. Have you encountered an user page that transgress wikiplatforms as seamlessly and conviently as mine? Also you may see that they (other user) put thier comment on the wrong page that I devote for comments, so normally I copy and paste them in thier appropriate page. And I put the disclaimer in the beginning, I do not want unnessary comments or frivalous comments either. However I will keep your comment, since it of interest, however I still stand on this ground, If this was a wikipage on an article I would understand, however this is an Userpage, thus in my opinion I see myself as the administrator to my user page. Also how many user comment page have you seen with a disclaimer on it, if this is the first then leave me alone. You might want to reread that page again in specific etiquette and tell me where it say it not prohibited; remember those are just suggestions, not rules. FYI you are the first to ever mention this since I have been on wikipedia for about a year now, and I think it unwarranted. Paul.Paquette

I am not sure what you are looking for exactly, but the first thing that came to mind was the book of Douglas Futuyma "Evolution" (2005. Sinauer Associates, Inc., Sunderland, Massachusettes), which is often used teatching and offers a healthy and solid introduction to the topic. If you are more looking for shorter article, I have to look for those. -- Kim van der Linde at venus 21:16, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Hello Ande. Sorry to read about your relapse, i hope you are now feeling better. You are very welcome for my comments of support. They were not inspired by partisan loyalties, however. I am genuinely affronted by the apparent lack of logic and perspective displayed the arbitrator who has been proposing these 'findings of fact'. Its mindboggling.
It really makes me doubt the integrity of the project when an individual who has been selected for their ability to interpret policy, appears more interested balancing the outcome than challenging the real cause of the dispute. The '25% conceded to critics' comment is, frankly, laughable. Sometimes it makes you question the point of contributing. Anyway, i've said more than enough about the subject now. I guess i'll just wait to see what the other arbitrators say. Rockpocket (talk) 06:16, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
It seems that someone had manually moved the article from Anacreon (poet) to Anacreon instead of using the move button, which is generally discouraged on Wikipedia. I suggest looking at Wikipedia:How to fix cut and paste moves to find out what you should do next. -- ☆ TBC ☆ 09:33, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
I absolutely agree with your assertion regarding the unencyclopedic nature of this article. I see what you mean now by nonsense. I just find that often times (even on Wikipedia), users quickly deems things nonsense/incorrect without truly looking into the facts behind it. I see that is not what you have done. Good work!

Hi Ande. I’ve just noted that another editor has tagged the Biopsych article. I hope this doesn’t poison the well in our discussion in Talk:Ross Institute for Psychological Trauma. — Cesar Tort 23:47, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Hello Ande. I wonder if i could impose on you a request? I've set myself a challenge to drag an honest little stub all the way up to good, if not featured article status. I chose a subject that was dear to my heart in the early days of my career. Enough of an interest to make it fun, enough distance to be objective (i hope).
So far so good, but i'm now at the point where i've made the current article as comprehensive as i can, technically speaking, but need some opinion on how to improve accessability, context and language for the intelligent layperson, or any general comments on how to improve it. I requested a peer review to this end, but there appear to be no takers. So i have directly asked a few scientist/editors for their opinion instead. With your interest in biomedical subjects, and your background in technical writing, i'd really value any criticism you could give me. If you are unable to, i of course understand. Should you be up to it, please feel free to edit the article yourself, of course. Alternatively, i would be happy to implement anything you think would be an improvement. Thanks if advance.

Hi Ande. I just thought i'd drop a short note in support, and to counsel wiki-calmness. I know exactly how you feel as i have gone extactly the same cycle of support, exasperation, frustration, irritation and with regards to Cesar. I had already spent a fair amount of time interacting with him on Anti-psychiatry, so you may now appreciate why i was keen to get a guidance from ArbCom on him as well as Ombudsman. Anyway, i really think the more he says on ArbCom the more likely it is that they will move to restrict his editing, he really is digging his own grave here. Rockpocke t 18:50, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ande, Funny you should bring that up, I recently added a section to the article on Lesbianism which included a short discussion of the Greeks and the Arabs. You probably noticed it, and that whole section could be brought over and expanded. At the present time I do not have much else on file, but now that I know you are working on that article I will bring in any tidbits I come across.

Hello Ande. Thanks for your email reply, i thought i'd reply on-Wiki as my email is so disorganised that, humiliating as it is to admit, i can keep track of my communications better here. I completely agree with your sentiments. I too am making a concerted effort to leave the pointless debate behind, and focus on the reason i joined the community in the first place - to edit.
I'm also very grateful for your contributions to the chromatophore article and am glad you enjoyed it, i finally took the plunge and nominated it for Featured Article status. So far, so good - it has generated some support and no objections yet - but it still has some way to go before it gets promoted. I would recommend you tackle kinesin, i found it both tremendously satisfying and informative to revist past interests. I'd be more than happy to pitch in with any help i could provide.
