Francis Hutcheson (philosopher)

Francis Hutcheson (8 August 1694 – 8 August 1746) was an Irish philosopher.

Quotes

 * Wisdom denotes the pursuing of the best Ends by the best Means.
 * An Inquiry into the Original of our Ideas of Beauty and Virtue (1725), Treatise I, Sect. V

 * Whence this secret Chain between each Person and Mankind? How is my Interest connected with the most distant Parts of it?
 * An Inquiry into the Original of our Ideas of Beauty and Virtue (1725), Treatise II: An Inquiry concerning Moral Good and Evil, Sect. I

 * That Action is best, which procures the greatest Happiness for the greatest Numbers; and that worst, which, in like manner, occasions Misery.
 * An Inquiry into the Original of our Ideas of Beauty and Virtue (1725) Treatise II, Section 3

As to jests upon imperfections, which one cannot amend, I cannot fee of what use they can be: men of sense cannot relish such jests; foolish trifling minds may by them be led to despise the truest merit, which is not exempted from the casual misfortunes of our mortal state.
 * Another valuable purpose of ridicule is with relation to smaller vices, which are often more effectually corrected by ridicule, than by grave admonition. Men have been laughed out of faults which a sermon could not reform; nay, there are many little indecencies which are improper to be mentioned in such solemn discourses. Now ridicule with contempt or ill-nature, is indeed always irritating and offensive; but we may, by testifying a just esteem for the good qualities of the person ridiculed, and our concern for his interests, let him see that our ridicule of his weakness flows from love to him, and then we may hope for a good effect. This then is another necessary rule, "That along with our ridicule of smaller faults we should always join evidences of good nature and esteem."
 * Letter to the Author of the Dublin Journal, published in The Dublin Weekly Journal, No. 12 (19 June 1725), p. 46; later published in Reflections Upon Laughter (1750); and in Thoughts upon Laughter, and Observations on the Fable of the Bees (1758), p. 50

 * The Dublin Weekly Journal, No. 12 (19 June 1725)

 * All our Ideas, or the materials of our reasoning or judging, are received by some immediate Powers of Perception internal or external, which we may call Senses … Reasoning or Intellect seems to raise no new Species of Ideas, but to discover or discern the Relations of those received.
 * An Essay on the Nature and Conduct of the Passions and Affections (1728), Treatise II: Illustrations upon the Moral Sense, Sect. I

A System of Moral Philosophy (1755)

 * A good man deliberating which of several actions proposed he shall choose, regards and compares the material goodness of them, and then is determined by his moral sense invariably preferring that which appears most conducive to the happiness and virtue of mankind.
 * Book II, Ch. III, § I

 * The ultimate notion of right is that which tends to the universal good; and when one's acting in a certain manner has this tendency, he has a right thus to act.
 * Book II, Ch. III, § VII

 * Whoever voluntarily undertakes the necessary office of rearing and educating, obtains the parental power without generation.
 * Book III, Ch. II, § II

Quotes about Hutcheson

 * Francis Hutcheson and David Hume were the two most prominent Scottish contributors to moral philosophy before Smith. They had criticized the view of rationalist philosophers, such as Samuel Clarke and William Wollaston, that the judgement and the motive of moral action are functions of reason, an understanding of necessary truth analogous to mathematical thinking. Hutcheson and Hume, in contrast, took the view that moral judgement is affective, rests on feeling, and that the motive for acting upon that judgement must likewise be affective, since reason alone does not have the power to stir bodily behaviour.
 * D. D. Raphael, The Impartial Spectator: Adam Smith's Moral Philosophy (2007), Ch. 1: Two Versions

 * Kant in fact seems to have begun his reflections on moral theory as an adherent of Francis Hutcheson’s moral sense theory. Even after abandoning it, he persists in maintaining the importance of “moral feeling” and tries consistently to make a place for it within his moral psychology.
 * Allen W. Wood, Kantian Ethics (2008), Ch. 2. Moral Worth

Mobutu Sésé Seko

Mobutu Sésé Seko kuku ngbendu wa za Banga (or Mobutu Sese Seko Koko Ngbendu Wa Za Banga; October 14, 1930 – September 7, 1997) was the President of Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) from 1965 to 1997.

Quotes

 * We are seeking our own authenticity, and we will find it because we wish, in the innermost fibers of our being to discover it.
 * Sean Kelly, America's Tyrant: The CIA and Mobutu of Zaire, p. 194

 * Zaire is the country that has been the most heavily exploited in the world. That is why farms, ranches, plantations, concessions, commerce, and real estate agencies will be turned over to sons of the country.
 * November 30, 1973, on the eve of "Zairianization". Zaire: A Country Study, "Zairianization, Radicalization, and Retrocession"

 * In a word, everything is for sale, anything can be bought in our country. And in this flow, he who holds the slightest cover of public authority uses it illegally to acquire money, goods, prestige or to avoid obligations. The right to be recognized by a public servant, to have one's children enrolled in school, to obtain medical care, etc. ...are all subject to this tax which, though invisible, is known and expected by all.
 * November 25, 1977. D.J. Gould, "Patrons and Clients: The Role of the Military in Zaire Politics," in Isaac Mowoe, ed., The Performance of Soldiers as Governors, p. 485

 * If you want to steal, steal a little in a nice way. But if you steal too much to become rich overnight, you'll be caught.
 * D.J. Gould, "Patrons and Clients: The Role of the Military in Zaire Politics," in Isaac Mowoe, ed., The Performance of Soldiers as Governors, p. 485

 * Democracy is not for Africa. There was only one African chief and here in Zaire we must make unity.
 * George B. N. Ayittey, Africa Betrayed, p. 65

 * We in Zaire spent a lot of time building a strong central state which could resist Soviet aggression quickly and effectively. This enabled us to decisively make the uniform decisions that were necessary to fulfill our national defense obligations and our commitments to the United States.
 * George B. N. Ayittey, Africa in Chaos, p. 113

 * I am the latest victim of the cold war, no longer needed by the US. The lesson is that my support for American policy counts for nothing.
 * Gbadolite: The Versailles of The Jungle

 * It takes two to corrupt – the corrupted and the corrupter.

Quotes about Mobutu Sésé Seko

 * When Congo became independent in 1960, the same pattern of economic institutions, incentives, and performance reproduced itself. These Congolese extractive economic institutions were again supported by highly extractive political institutions. The situation was worsened because European colonialism created a polity, Congo, made up of many different precolonial states and societies that the national state, run from Kinshasa, had little control over. Though President Mobutu used the state to enrich himself and his cronies— for example, through the Zairianization program of 1973, which involved the mass expropriation of foreign economic interests—he presided over a noncentralized state with little authority over much of the country, and had to appeal to foreign assistance to stop the provinces of Katanga and Kasai from seceding in the 1960s. This lack of political centralization, almost to the point of total collapse of the state, is a feature that Congo shares with much of sub-Saharan Africa.
 * Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson, Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Poverty, and Prosperity (2012)
 * Col. Joseph MOBUTU seized power and declared himself president in a November 1965 coup. He subsequently changed his name - to MOBUTU Sese Seko - as well as that of the country - to Zaire. MOBUTU retained his position for 32 years through several sham elections, as well as through brutal force. Ethnic strife and civil war, touched off by a massive inflow of refugees in 1994 from fighting in Rwanda and Burundi, led in May 1997 to the toppling of the MOBUTU regime by a rebellion backed by Rwanda and Uganda and fronted by Laurent KABILA.
 * CIA World Factbook, "Congo, Democratic Republic of the" (17 October 2018), Langley, Virginia: Central Intelligence Agency
 * Mobutu rose from poverty and obscurity to rule a vast country. Profiting from the Cold War, he remained in power for more than 30 years, draining the wealth of the Congo to maintain himself and his cronies. He gave a new meaning to kleptocracy but declined rapidly after he was no longer useful to his foreign backers. His activities converted an enormously rich country into a failed poverty-stricken state.
 * Clive Foss, The Tyrants: 2500 Years of Absolute Power and Corruption, London: Quercus Publishing, 2006, ISBN 1905204965, p. 172

 * His private palace, seven miles outside town in Kawele, brimmed with paintings, sculptures, stained glass, ersatz Louis XIV furniture, marble from Carrara in Italy and two swimming pools surrounded by loudspeakers playing his beloved Gregorian chants or classical music. It hosted countless gaudy nights with Taittinger champagne, salmon and other food served on moving conveyer belts by Congolese and European chefs.
 * Gbadolite: The Versailles of The Jungle

 * President Mobutu was a positive dictator, not a negative one. He knew what methods to use to preserve unity, security and peace for his people. You could feel at home anywhere in the Congo under Mobutu’s regime. There is no freedom without security. He understood what the people needed at the time.
 * Gbadolite: The Versailles of The Jungle

 * With Mobutu we had a state, but he was a dictator. Today we don’t have a state – it’s a jungle.
 * Gbadolite: The Versailles of The Jungle

 * Mobutu is a man, he is gone, but all these things should remain state property. The mistake of this country is they have destroyed and looted everything. They were doing that to rub out Mobutu’s memory, but the history should be preserved. The history might be positive or negative but it remains our history and we should pass it from one generation to another.
 * Gbadolite: The Versailles of The Jungle

 * President Mobutu watched from his mansion, the marbled Versailles of the Jungle that he built in the sleepy village of his birth, eating lobster and sausages, washed back with a vintage wine.
 * Inside 'Africa's Versailles': Mobutu's palace estate lies in ruin 20 years after his death
 * Joseph Desire Mobutu, supported by Belgium and the CIA, seized power in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in 1965. Mobutu was a Cold War darling of the Western powers and ultimately received more than $1.5 billion in U.S. military and economic aid. He was a colorful character who changed his name in 1972 to Mobutu Sese Seko Koko Ngbendu Wa Za Benga: "The all-powerful warrior who, because of his endurance and inflexible will to rule, will go from conquest to conquest, leaving fire in his wake." Mobutu was also a vicious murderer who stole the profits from the sale of his nation's resources. He lasted in power for thirty-two years until rebel Congolese forces, supported by armies from Rwanda, Uganda, and elsewhere, drove him into exile. Almost ten years after Mobutu's downfall, the DRC is a divided country where civilians are killed by various armies and militia on a regular basis.
 * David Wallechinsky, Tyrants: The World's 20 Worst Living Dictators (2006), p. 326

 * We have had a part in the fact that the Belgians have always let Mobutu do its thing in their own interest.
 * Congo en plein public, Page 56. Vranckx, 2010.

Copyright rejoinders
You may have noticed that I've posted some rejoinders to your arguments about copyright issues here. I just wanted to let you know that I'm basically doing for the "defense" — making the counter-case as "scary" as possible — what you did for the "prosecution", to stimulate discussion. I don't mean to impune your own contributions, as they seem quite reasonable from one point of view, and address concerns probably overdue at this growing WF project. At Wikiquote talk:Copyrights, I even started by making clear that I think you're making some good points, but when I re-read it, it sounded a bit too much like Anthony's faux praise for "the noble Brutus" in Julius Caesar. I didn't intend it that way, though. I think we need both (all?) sides of this issue to duke it out in public, and it can be difficult sometimes to get such discussions going here. (I do admit to feeling strongly about the points I made, though.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:18, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

Spider-Girl

Spider-Girl is a monthly comic by Marvel Comics about May "Mayday" Parker, daughter of the original Spider-Man, set in an alternate future of the Marvel Comics universe.

Issue 0

 * Tattoo on the back of Normie Osborne: Honor thy father/Kill the spider

 * MJ: Oh, don't be so melodramatic...especially when you're quoting my lines.

 * [The Green Goblin sees a gun in Peter Parker's belt.]
 * Green Goblin: Is that a police special you're packing...or are you just happy to see me?!

 * [Spider-Girl's first lines as Spider-Girl]
 * Spider-Girl: You want a spider-person, Normie? Face it, tiger...you just hit the jackpot.

 * Green Goblin: Injustices must be righted, young May! Agonies must be repaid in kind!
 * Spider-Girl: You mind being a weeee bit more specific?

Issue 1

 * Narration: With great powers there's always a need for great responsibility -- Is it more responsible to be an obedient daughter -- or a life saving hero?!

 * Phil Urich: As I recall, Spidey had a special saying which went something like..."with great power yada-yada great responsibility!" The yada-yada was either "there should come" or "there must come" -- it's been so long I forget!

Issue 2

 * Robber: I don't care who you are, ya meddlesome witch!
 * Spider-Girl: Oh, man! You are so lucky you used the w-word instead of the b-word! Because the b-word makes me real angry -- and this is me only mildly cheesed off!

Issue 3

 * Spider-Girl: Home--?! You want to get home? Have you tried closing your eyes, and clicking your heels? I hear that's the most accepted method--though I also recommend the much-improved New York transit system as an alternative!

 * Spyral: When life gives you lemons -- you can always toss them at innocent bystanders

Issue 4

 * [Classroom, most of the students are half-asleep.]
 * Teacher: Charles Darwin believed that even with all his noble qualities, man still bore the inevitable stamp of his lowly oriign. Can anyone explain what he meant? Anyone at all?
 * Dragonking: It means you have a class full of monkeys! Although I'm sure chimps are friendlier and smell better!

Issue 5

 * May Parker: I inherited your spider-like abilities, and with great power---
 * Peter Parker: Don't even go down that road, young lady. I'm not falling for that old cliche.

Issue 6

 * Ladyhawk: I'm afraid your associate is ill prepared to deal with either my sonic screech -- or the obvious issues raised by his choice of such a large caliber gun.

 * Spider-Girl: Can't we just bypass the useless, impotent threats -- and cut straight to the startling revelation that we're all on the same side?

Issue 7

 * Darkdevil: While your incessant whining does have a familiar ring to it, I still don't place the mask.

Issue 8

 * May Parker: T-This isn't what it looks like--!
 * MJ: You mean you aren't searching your father's trunk in the hope of finding an old costume or spare web-shooters?
 * May Parker: Okay! It is what it looks like!

Issue 9

 * May Parker: B-but I have this great power, and--
 * MJ: Save it! I've heard that line before!

Issue 10

 * Franklin Richards: I…I didn't mean to offend you!
 * Spider-Girl: Pity! You did such a good job at it!

Issue 11

 * [James Jonah Jameson is suspecting Spider-Man is gay.]
 * J. Jonah Jameson: It's one thing to persecute a masked menace--but a minority?

Issue 12

 * May Parker: You want to try shoving me against a locker?
 * Jack Jameson: While the image has certain rudimentary appeal, I thought we'd start with a couple of cappuccinos after class.

First part

 * Melissa Carsdale: Sorrrrry! I have a strict policy against dating people I douse with acid!

Third part

 * Peter Parker: Villains are expected to cheat. Heroes are supposed to have a sense of honor and play fairly.
 * May Parker: B-but then I have no chance of winning!
 * Peter Parker: If that's what you really think, get off my court!

Issue 13

 * MJ: S'funny how the public adores certain costumed heroes…and scorns others.

Issue 14

 * First Robber: Look what she's done to our guns!
 * Second Robber: S-she's clogging them with some kind'a goo!
 * Spider-Girl: Not goo! Webbing! It's all a part of a coordinated marketing effort to create a complete Spider-Mystique!

Issue 15

 * May Parker: I recognize Speedball, but who is he fighting?
 * Davida: You're asking me? I can identify over half the players in the WNBA. When it comes to these costumed clowns…I can barely recognize Spider-Girl.

Issue 16

 * Spider-Girl: Wellllll, I have these real nifty super-powers…And, like the man says, with great power--there should also come---great, uhhh, responsibility.
 * Ladyhawk: Should…but rarely does!

Issue 17

 * Spider-Girl: JJ's okay…once you get to know him.
 * Brad: I'm sure some people say that about Doctor Doom.

Issue 29

 * Spider-Girl: Since when do you have the right to order me to back off?
 * Nova: I'm faster, stronger, and far more experienced than you.
 * Spider-Girl: Okay, sure…but that doesn't answer my question!

Issue 31

 * Raptor: Remind me to keep out of that man's reach. Although he is kind o' cute!
 * Spider-Girl: Keep your mind on the fight, girl!
 * Raptor: Like you didn't check out his butt, too!
 * Spider-Girl: I tried, but that stupid cape kept getting in the way.

Issue 33

 * Spider-Girl: Responsibility is more than just a sound bite. It isn't an excuse to don a costume bash the baddies. It's like an angry snake that twists in your mind, and forces you out into the cold-- when your only desire is to cower in bed.

Issue 34

 * Spider-Girl: My dad is definitely not cute. He's…he's…just my dad!

Issue 43

 * Spider-Girl: I'm not a big fan of violence! Never was! Never will be! The more I hurt you, the more you will want to hurt me--and the circle will just continue and continue until one of us dies. Then it will start all over again…because someone always demands vengeance. We have to break the circle! We have to stop the violence! We have to find another way!

Issue 75

 * MJ: I believe you've met your infant brother. He seems to have this thing about eating before dawn.
 * May Parker: Good for you Benjy! You show'em who's boss

Unknown issue

 * Brad: So Spider-Girl is someone attending this school. I bet its Miranda.
 * Kong: Miranda? But she's a nerd.
 * Brad: Oh, the heroine is always a nerd. I read comics.
 * Kong: Nah, I think she's an athlete, like May or Davida.
 * Davida:(cold) Come on May. Let's leave these good citizens; we have criminals to fight and algebra homework.
 * May:(cold) Fine, but we have to drop by the Spider-Cave first. I think I left my History notes next to the giant penny.
 * (Enter Miranda)
 * Miranda: Hey guys! What'd I miss?
 * (Pause. Everyone stares at Miranda)
 * Miranda: What?

Dialogue

 * Trent: Look, you take yourself out of the game, you start talking about puppy dogs and ice cream, of course its going to end up on the friendship tip.

 * Trent: Like fuckin' House of Pain was gonna do anything?
 * Mike: What the fuck are you carrying a gun for? What, in case somebody steps to you, Snoop Dogg?
 * Sue: Hey man, you're not from here, alright. You don't know how it is. I grew up in L.A.
 * Trent: Anaheim.
 * Sue: Whatever, man. It's different out here. It's not like New York, Mikey. People get carjacked.

 * Mike: Haven't you seen Boyz n the Hood? Now one of us is going to get shot.

 * Rob: You don't look at the things that you have, you only look at the stuff that you don't have. Those guys are right. You're money.

 * Rob: She won't call because you left. She's got her own life to deal with and that's in New York. She's a sweet girl and I love her to pieces, but fuck her, man. You got to get on with your life. You've got to let go of the past Mikey, and when you do, the future is beautiful. Alright? Look out the window. It's sunny every day here. It's like manifest destiny. Don't tell me we didn't make it. We made it. We're here. And everything that is past is prologue to this, all the shit that didn't kill us is only - ya know, all that shit... You're gonna get over it.
 * Mike: How did you get over it? I mean, how long did it take you?
 * Rob: I don't know, man. Sometimes it still hurts. I don't know, man. It's like you wake up every day and it hurts a little less, and then you wake up one day and it doesn't hurt at all. And it's like, and this might sound a little weird, but it's like you almost miss that pain.
 * Mike: You miss the pain?
 * Rob: Yeah. For the same reason you miss her... Because you lived with it for so long.

 * Mike: Look, we're gonna spend half the night driving around the Hills looking for this one party and you're going to say it sucks and we're all gonna leave and then we're gonna go look for this other party. But all the parties and all the bars, they all suck. I spend half the night talking to some girl who's looking around the room to see if there's somebody else who's more important she should be talking to. And it's like I'm supposed to be all happy 'cause she's wearing a backpack, you know? And half of them are just nasty skanks who wouldn't be nothing except they're surrounded by a bunch of drunken horny assholes. And I'm gonna tell you something T. Are you listening?
 * Trent: Yeah, I'm listening.
 * Mike: I'm not gonna be one of those assholes. Alright? It just makes me sick. It's like, some nasty skank who isn't half the woman my girlfriend is, is gonna front me? It makes me want to fuckin' puke!

 * Trent: You know what? You’re like a big bear with claws, with fangs-
 * Sue: Big fucking teeth, man.
 * Trent: With big fucking teeth on you. And she’s just like this little bunny, just kind of cowering in the corner-
 * Sue: Shivering!
 * Trent: Yeah, man. You got these claws, and you’re staring at these claws, man, and you’re thinkin’ 'how am I supposed to kill this bunny'.
 * Sue: You’re pokin’ at it. You’re pokin’ at it.
 * Trent: Yeah, you’re not hurting it. You’re just gently battin’ the bunny around. You know what I mean? The bunny’s scared, Mike. The bunny’s scared of you.
 * Sue: And you got these fucking claws, man.
 * Trent: You got these fucking claws and these fangs, man. And you’re looking at your claws and you’re lookin’ at your fangs and you’re thinkin’ to yourself, ‘I don’t know what to do’, man. ‘I don’t know how to kill the bunny. With this, I don’t know how to kill the bunnies’, man.
 * Sue: You’re like a big bear, man.
 * Mike: You're fucking with me.
 * Trent: No I'm not fuckin' with you...Mike, I'm tellin' ya, you're money...Come here a second, listen. Now look it. When you go up to talk to her, man, I don't want you to be the guy in the PG-13 movie everyone's really hopin' makes it happen. I want you to be like the guy in the rated R movie, you know, the guy you're not sure whether or not you like yet. You're not sure where he's coming from. Okay? You're a bad man. You're a bad man. You're a bad man. Bad man.

 * Mike: So how long do I wait to call?
 * Trent: A day.
 * Mike: Tomorrow.
 * Sue: Tomorrow, then a day.
 * Trent: Yeah.
 * Mike: So two days?
 * Trent: Yeah, I guess you could call it that, two days.
 * Sue: Definitely, two days is like industry standard.
 * Trent: You know I used to wait two days to call anybody, but now it's like everyone in town waits two days. So I think three days is kind of money. What do you think?
 * Sue: Yeah, but two's enough not to look anxious.
 * Trent: But I think three days is kind of money. You know because you...
 * Mike: Yeah, but you know what, maybe I'll wait 3 weeks. How's that? And tell her I was cleaning out my wallet and I just happened to run into her number.
 * Charles: Then ask her where you met her.
 * Mike: Yeah, I'll ask her where I met her. I don't remember. What does she look like? And then I'll asked if we fucked. Is that... would that be... T, would that be the money?
 * Trent: You know what. Ha ha ha Mike, laugh all you want but if you call too soon you might scare off a nice baby who's ready to party.
 * Mike: Well how long are you guys gonna wait to call your babies?
 * Trent, Sue: Six days.

 * Mike: Okay, so what if I don't want to give up on her?
 * Rob: You don't call.
 * Mike: But you said I don't call if I wanted to give up on her.
 * Rob: Right.
 * Mike: So I don't call either way?
 * Rob: Right.
 * Mike: So what's the difference?
 * Rob: There is no difference right now. See, Mike, the only difference between giving up and not giving up is if you take her back when she wants to come back. But you can't do anything to make her want to come back. In fact, you can only do stuff to make her not want to come back.
 * Mike: So the only difference is if I forget about her or just pretend to forget about her?
 * Rob: Right.
 * Mike: Well that sucks.
 * Rob: Yeah, it sucks.
 * Mike: So it's just like a retroactive decision, then? I mean I could, like, forget about her and then when she comes back make like I just pretended to forget about her?
 * Rob: Right. Although probably more likely the opposite.
 * Mike: What do you mean?
 * Rob: I mean at first you're going to pretend to forget about her, you'll not call her, I don't know, whatever... but then eventually, you really will forget about her.
 * Mike: Well what if she comes back first?
 * Rob: Mmmm... see, that's the thing, is somehow they know not to come back until you really forget.
 * Mike: There's the rub.
 * Rob: There's the rub.

 * Trent: Baby, we're going to be up five hundy by midnight!
 * Mike: Yeeeeaaaaahhhhhh!
 * Trent: Vegas baby! Vegas!
 * Mike: Vegas!

 * Trent: I'm gonna find me two waitresses here and I'm gonna pull me a Fredo.
 * Mike: Yeah, well they're all skanks.
 * Trent: What are talking about? Look at all the beautiful babies here.
 * Mike: The beautiful babies don't work the midnights-to-six on a Wednesday. This is the skank shift.
 * Trent: Look at all the beautiful honeys here.

 * Mike: You shouldn't be sorry, you're a winner. I'm the fucking loser. I'm the one who should be sorry.
 * Trent: Baby don't talk that way.
 * Mike: Can we just go, please, can we go?
 * Trent: Baby look at me, look at me. You're money, and you know what else? You're a big winner tonight.
 * Mike: I want to leave.
 * Trent: You're a big winner. I'm gonna ask you a simple question and I want you to listen to me: who's the big winner here tonight at the casino? Huh? Mikey, that's who. Mikey's the big winner. Mikey wins.

 * Lorraine: Hi, Mike, I'm Lorraine.
 * Mike: Like the quiche.
 * Lorraine: Yeah, yeah, the quiche. That's a really original joke.
 * Mike: I like quiche. How's that?
 * Lorraine: Yeah? Well, I thought real men didn't like quiche.
 * Mike: Yeah, well, my reputation seems to have preceded me here.
 * Lorraine: You're not a real man?
 * Mike: Not lately, no.

Wikiquote:Dynamic page list

DynamicPageList is a Wikimedia extention which generates a list of articles (and other pages) from categories dynamically. Its close description is available on DynamicPageList.

Authors stubs
The below is a list of authors stubs, which do not need cleanup and are not listed on VfD, on English Wikiquote.

Lists vs. Categories -- vote on requesting a new feature installed
I wish to thank User:Aphaia, User:Iddo999 and User:Jeffq for useful comments. While I have used input from the people named above, any mistakes or inaccuracies here are fully my responsibility.

We replaced List of mnemonics with Category:Mnemonics with no dissent and no post-discussion regrets announced. We have several other lists. These lists are an evident maintenance problem -- there are many missing entries. There is a MediaWiki extension called DynamicPageList. It allows creating pseudo-list-articles without the tedium of maintaining the list. Before we phase out lists, I believe we need some time to experiment with DynamicPageList. I am asking for a vote on approaching developers and asking to install this extension.

Unless an extension is requested, the vote will close on 30 Jul 2005 00:00, about a week from now. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 14:39, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * There are only a few hours in which to vote. Last call! ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 16:27, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

 * The vote is closed. I've tried twice on #wikimedia to get a developer to install DPL. If one more time won't work, I'll go the bugzilla route. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 04:40, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Woooooo! brion has installed DPL. Testing commences. See Sandbox ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 16:30, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I've already found a problem — the "order" option doesn't seem to work, or perhaps requires some external fiddling. Despite flushing my browser cache and even disabling page caching, I couldn't get it to list the Marvel comic category contents in order. Also, we should probably use something other than the single most dynamic test page in Wikiquote for this test, and continue this operational discussion on that new page's talk page. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:50, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Sure. Dynamic page list ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 17:05, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

 * And I intend to move the discussion here to Wikiquote talk:Dynamic page list in a few hours, if nobody objects. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 17:08, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

For

 * MosheZadka (Talk) 14:39, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * iddo999 00:46, 25 July 2005 (UTC) (sounds worth to try as a means to phase out lists, or even just as an interesting experiment... can be removed later in case of a problem)
 * Aphaia 14:28, 26 July 2005 (UTC) I have recently found it is convinient and useful - flexible features. And as Jeff said, if we find finally we don't want it, it seems for us not to be harmful with it.

Comments

 * Is there any reason why we wouldn't want this feature installed? After all, we don't have to use it if we don't want to. Are there performance issues involved? ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:46, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * As far as my somewhat unscientific inquiries on #wikimedia and #mediawiki have shown, it doesn't. I would be surprised if it does, personally. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 16:54, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Why doesn't "ascending" work?
I don't think this feature is particularly useful if the article list generated doesn't have any meaningful order. In the current example list, and in every example I've tested so far, no matter how trivial, the "order=ascending" setting seems to be ignored. I don't see how we can use this to replace manual lists until this issue is resolved. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:07, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * It's ordered by various date-related options, not by alphabetical listing. I agree re: non-current usability, I did not notice it when reading the docs, but I re-read them after playing around. It does suck for main listings (though it can be useful to distinguish articles which have been marked as "stub" for a long time, for example). Currently, I'm just using it to have some queries to find stubs I want to work on (my hidden agenda :]). I wonder if making a note in the relevant meta talk page will reach the developers responsible for this feature. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 18:03, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi, would you like to add information about Mr. James Coates? I am not sure if the person you are interested in is identical with the person who writes for Chicago Tribune. Thanks. --Aphaia 20:23, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Ximmmmm. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ximmmmm~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:38, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:01, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
