Question concerning interface
Who knows how I can disable "Read more" below the article, in my preferences? I find it quite disturbing and annoying. Cristian Latin 12:20, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

 * Shoot. Why do they always have to modify it? Kinda lame. Cristian Latin 12:39, December 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Btw the new skin doesmt have a wikination logo. I have once seen a wikination banner that could be used as New skin logo Pierlot McCrooke 12:41, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

Little Remark
This may have absolutely nothing to do with just about anything, but I just realized that it is very likely that User:Aesopos edited on Wikipedia, immediately after User:RichardDawkins, who has been confirmed to be the real guy. That's pretty cool. For those of you who doubt this, check this out:

The Article's History

Kinda awesome. Just saying. Edward Hannis  22:25, January 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wait isn't Dawinks the founder of Wikipedia? Where does Aesopos edit on that page, it seems like hundreds of people editied it. Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.Walden 22:29, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Use "find" (CTRL+F) to find Aesopos. Dawkins is right below him. And Jimmy Wales is the founder of Wikipedia. Under the username Jimbo Wales. Edward Hannis  [[File:CogHammer.gif]] 22:34, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't be very suprised, honestly. Aesopos has always been very mysterious and vague about his actual identity. He has, however, made it clear he is an old man. I think he sees us all as a bunch of silly youngsters. Pierius Magnus 22:35, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

True, he has been very mysterious. @Hannis - Oh the biologist. Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.Walden 22:38, January 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Searching* Oh Very odd and on a page about Human evolution! It all adds up! Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.Walden 22:41, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Look at Dawkins' remark on his talk page (User talk:RichardDawkins). He's got a cheeky way of talking, even online. Edward Hannis  [[File:CogHammer.gif]] 22:53, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

I'll see it in the morning...too tired. Time to watch some TV! Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.Walden 01:50, January 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * It is good to know people like Dawkins take the time to watch over the quality of Wikipedia's articles. 08:07, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

PIGER
New proposal, go and check out! JON  THE DUDE   JOHNSON  18:42, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

BREAKING NEWS
I have important information at Nova Times. It's a must read. Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.Walden 01:33, January 5, 2011 (UTC)

Lovia's Playlist
It's an idea I had a few moments ago, and I think we could do it, maybe move our thoughts away from the political issues at hand. So, here's the idea: everyone can give in 2 to 3 songs for a series of songs that represent what our nation listens to. If someone wants to, it could be made into an album. Songs should be in English, and preferably would be songs most of us haven't listened to. You can add a few words if you like. I'll go first, but be free to put in your own songs as well. Edward Hannis  05:24, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

Playlist

 * Just the Way it is, Baby by The Rembrandts. Chosen by Edward Hannis.
 * The Rembrandts are best known for writing the theme song to the sitcom Friends, but few people know of this song, which I think is among the best ever written.


 * Come Sail Away by Styx. Chosen by Edward Hannis.
 * I like the transition in the song, a big move from a ballad to a rock. Though nothing compared to the insane swings in Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, it's still a really impressive song, but with a much more powerful melody. I absolutely love the piano part.

Not at all such a bad idea! Here's two songs I'd like to share with you all:
 * Spirit in the Night by the great Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen
 * I just love it. Especially the chorus. Springsteen's oeuvre is pretty impressing and this is one of his best. Other favorites of mine include: "The River", "Streets of Philadelphia", "Atlantic City", "For You", etc. ( 07:09, January 7, 2011 (UTC))


 * Dust in the Wind, by Kansas
 * Those guys from Kansas may seem impressive and tough rockers, "Dust in the Wind" is a beautiful rock ballad, touching and fragile. I have no clue what Kansas wanted it to be 'about'. I'm not the kinda guy to pay great attention to the "intended meaning" of the lyrics. "Carry on Wayward Son" is another song of them I like. ( 07:09, January 7, 2011 (UTC))


 * Sometime Around Midnight, by The Airborne Toxic Event
 * Not so well-known and perhaps upon the first listening not se very special either. I always forget it is in my iTunes list but whenever it comes up I stop whatever it is I'm doing and take a pause to listen to the song quietly. Just give them a chance, listen to this song a couple of times and you'll come to appreciate it. ( 14:46, January 7, 2011 (UTC))
 * A great choice . It's already in my five-star list :) 14:49, January 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Really? I never imagined you where familiar with it. Too bad I forgot how I got it, could it be you tipped it to me? 14:51, January 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think so . My congratulations on the other song too, also in my favorites' list (but you could've guess that, looking at the band's name). 15:12, January 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * America is pretty good. I have some other songs of them too, but they aren't as outstanding as "A Horse...". 15:16, January 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * I didn't, so I'm downloading some others right now . Any suggestions? 15:21, January 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * You might know "Sister Golden Hair" and "The Border". They are okay songs that pass along on the radio from time to time. 15:24, January 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * A Horse With No Name, by America
 * Okay, so I didn't get past the letter A. But I couldn't just skip this one, could I? It is a hell of a song about... well I don't know what it's about but it is still a damn great song. Love it, Nana-na-nananana-na-ah! 14:56, January 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * "L'Autre Valse d'Amélie" by Yann Tiersen
 * Percival E. Galahad 17:44, January 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * "Wounded Knee" - Redbone
 * A great song by a Native American group about the Massacre of Wounded Knee (1890). They did initially boycot it in the US, though. I've always been a major fan of
 * "They made us many promises but always broke their word"
 * "They penned us in like buffalo, drove us like a herd"


 * Amazing song! Pierius Magnus 21:19, January 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Add a song!
 * Add a comment on the song!

 * Good idea, I'll give my entry a good thought before I add it. 13:55, January 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * PS: surprising choices by the both of you. But then again that is the point, right? 14:37, January 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * All songs i would choose would totally inapropaiate...but in any case I pick Love Game by Lady Gaga I love this idea tho. Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.Walden 21:09, January 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Lady Gaga is not my cup of tea, but why not add her on the list? Diversification is good. As long as the list isn't filled with (excuse me) commercial crap, I have peace with it. 12:56, January 8, 2011 (UTC)
