Talk:W. E. B. Du Bois

Relevance of WEB Dubois today

In THE SOULS OF BLACK FOLK I input the COMING OF JOHN story, and had a little edit war. It loses meaning if cut into separate quotes. I just read SOULS OF BLACK FOLK and was amazed by this touching passage, written in 1903 but so relevant today.... Heart of WEB Dubois and American Class War:  Regardless of race, many workers yearn to do Great Work to give our lives PURPOSE, but oppressors would rather keep us as toilet cleaner slaves. John pays for his opera ticket, sublime beauty of LOHENGRIN inpsires him to do Great Work, and at that instant, usher kicks him out for being a Negro, despite the fact that he paid for his ticket. Denied beauty, back on street, ultimately John gets lynched at the end of this sad story. Very haunting.

WEB Dubois was the Malcolm X of his generation. Other wikiquotes amazingly relevant in 2007:

 * "The cause of war is preparation for war." ...That's the Bush neocon game.

 * "The return from your work must be the satisfaction which that work brings you and the world's need of that work. With this, life is heaven, or as near heaven as you can get. Without this—with work which you despise, which bores you, and which the world does not need—this life is hell." ...That's the whole point of THE COMING OF JOHN.  I suffer lousy meaningless McJobs and underemployment, like many in USA today.  Haunting and relevant quote for American workers in 2007.

 * "In my own country for nearly a century I have been nothing but a nigger." ...Sounds like Malcolm X.

 * "The Soviet Union does not allow any church of any kind to interfere with education, and religion is not taught in public schools. It seems to me that this is the greatest gift of the Russian Revolution to the modern world. Most educated modern men no longer believe in religious dogma." ...Such Atheism is especially relevant in USA today.  Atheism was a central tenet of his socialism.  Dare African Americans admit this truth today, that religion is for the uneduated, while Atheism is a natural result of higher education?  Dubois was far ahead of his time, and far ahead of USA today!

The Wisdom of W.E.B. Du Bois suggested merge
The historic distinction of The Wisdom of W.E.B. Du Bois and the fact that the title has a contemporary living co-author/editor makes it more suitable to stand as a separate entity rather than as one section merged into another. However, linking the pages by adding this page under "See Also" on the W.E.B. Du Bois page serves to extend and in a sense merge both, thereby successfully fulfilling the intent of the initial suggestion.

 * I disagree. When a biographer quotes his subject, the quotes belong in the article about his subject, i.e. W. E. B. Du Bois. When a biographer remarks about his subject, the remarks belong in a section for quotes about the subject or in an article about the biographer, i.e. Aberjhani. There should only be a separate article for the biography if those pages would otherwise be excessively long. (To speak of the historic distinction of a recent work is a bit of an oxymoron. History will decide later, much later.) ~ Ningauble 12:34, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I fully agree with Ningauble that there are no significant reasons not to merge quotes from this work into the W E B Du Bois page, where it could have its own section for quotes of Du Bois —  and perhaps some of them into a sectionn for others about him. This page can then be simply retained as a "redirect" page to that one. ~ Kalki (talk · contributions) 12:49, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The book consists primarily of a collection of unsourced attributions, which makes merging difficult. Either someone needs to research the actual sources of the quotes, or else we just cite this collection as an attributor. The latter is a very marginal outcome, for compilations that do not cite sources are just about the lowest form of quotation collections, second only to, and difficult to distinguish from, the sort that contain made-up stuff. ~ Ningauble 14:15, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Merge these ~ They are practically the same and both hold the correct information that I would need or want to find when looking up "W. E. B. Dubois quotes" - Anonymous editor

Quotes about Du Bois

 * Completing the story of slavery meant acknowledging the many black abolitionists who advocated for the freedom of slaves. It further meant recognition of the thousands of African Americans who fought to free themselves during the Civil War as opposed to waiting for emancipation.
 * Aberjhani, in The Wisdom of W.E.B. Du Bois (2003), p. 96

 * Very possibly it was his hope that one day someone might have reason to say of him what he imagined at the end of his essay on Crummell that Christ must have said upon greeting the priest's weary spirit: "Well done!"
 * Aberjhani, in The Wisdom of W.E.B. Du Bois (2003), p. 130

 * Black Reconstruction is not the sort of book any scholar would want as the foundation of a new interpretive school. Du Bois was no historian. He consulted only limited sources and did no original archival research, an omission that “disturbed many scholars, several of whom dyspeptically noted the author’s generous foundation support,” according to his biographer David Levering Lewis. The germ of the project was a dispute Du Bois had with the editors of Encyclopedia Britannica in 1929. They commissioned an entry on black history from him, which he withdrew when they asked him to delete some excessively rosy passages on Reconstruction. Obviously the Britannica editors wanted a racially progressive spin on history, or they would not have gone to Du Bois. But there is a line between creative reinterpretation and outright fantasy, and in their professional opinion, Du Bois had crossed it.
 * Helen Andrews, Reconstruction Revisionism, The American Conservative, 11 December 2021

 * The version of Reconstruction history that Du Bois presents is based on motivated reasoning and tendentious distortions of the evidence. That is why it is so disturbing that this school is now the conventional wisdom. With no tools other than repetition and vehemence, these brazen innovators succeeded in getting their misrepresentations enthroned as orthodoxy and the commonsense histories of yesterday not just superseded but slandered as racist.
 * Helen Andrews, Reconstruction Revisionism, The American Conservative, 11 December 2021

 * It is no coincidence that the two most prominent Reconstruction revisionists, Du Bois and Eric Foner, are both Marxists. Du Bois died a Stalinist and appointed prominent communist historian Herbert Aptheker as his literary executor. Foner is a longtime Soviet sympathizer whose father and uncles were CPUSA members. In 1990, he encouraged Mikhail Gorbachev, faced with upstart secessionists in the Baltics, to imitate Abraham Lincoln’s example and preserve his union.
 * Helen Andrews, Reconstruction Revisionism, The American Conservative, 11 December 2021

 * In his essay, "The Damnation of Women," Du Bois combined the Socialist theory of Charlotte Perkins Gilman with his own analysis of the Black experience, and so projected a new theory that saw the potential emancipation of all women in the independence of Black women.
 * Bettina Aptheker Woman's Legacy: Essays on Race, Sex, and Class in American History (1982)

 * Ten years later, Margaret Sanger, pioneer advocate of birth control, wrote to Du Bois asking him to send a message to be read at the Sixth International Neo-Malthusian and Birth Control Conference, "to either encourage us to continue our work, or to express your frank opinion of what we should do and how to do it." Du Bois sent the following statement: "Next to the abolition of war in modern civilization comes the regulation of birth by reason and common sense instead of by chance and ignorance. The solution for both of these problems of human advance is so perfectly clear and easily accomplished that it is only kept back by the stupidity of mankind, the utter refusal of even educated persons to face the problem frankly. While this is, in the highest degree, discouraging, it is on the other hand encouraging to know that only "light, more light" is needed and here as elsewhere we have simply to keep everlastingly at it to bring ultimate triumph.
 * Bettina Aptheker Woman's Legacy: Essays on Race, Sex, and Class in American History (1982)

 * As editor, author, lecturer, scholar, organizer, inspirer, and fighter, Dr. Du Bois was among the most consequential figures of the century.
 * Herbert Aptheker blurb for Autobiography of W.E.B. Dubois (1968)

 * An immediate effect of the Civil War on LGBT lives and history was how it shaped ideas about gender; specifically, what it meant to "be a man." Historian Drew Faust notes that during the Civil War, manhood was "defined and achieved by killing." W. E. B. Du Bois noted in his 1935 Black Reconstruction in America: "How extraordinary, and what a tribute to ignorance and religious hypocrisy, is the fact that in the minds of most people, even those of liberals, only murder makes men. The slave pleaded; he was humble; he protected the women of the South, and the world ignored him. The slave killed white men; and behold, he was a man!"
 * Michael Bronski A Queer History of the United States (2011)

 * Miriam Jiménez Román and Flores write: "Afro-Latin@ is at the personal level a unique and distinctive experience and identity because of its range among and between Latin@, Black, and United States American dimensions of lived reality. In their quest for a full and appropriate sense of social identity Afro-Latin@s are thus typically pulled in three directions at once and share a complex, multidimensional optic on contemporary society." Taking a cue from W.E.B. Du Bois, we might name this three-pronged web of affiliations "triple-consciousness." To paraphrase those unforgettable lines from The Souls of Black Folk (1903) in studying the historical and contemporary experience of United States Afro-Latin@, one ever feels his three-ness, -a Latin@, a Negro, an American; three souls, three thoughts, three unreconciled strivings; three warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder. Du Bois's reference to strength and resilience bears emphasis: the multiple experiences and perspectives including the contradictions, pain, and outrage-does not necessarily translate into pathological confusion. As many of the contributions to this volume suggest, embracing and celebrating all the dimensions of one's self has not only been possible but has also resulted in significant innovations at the personal and collective level.
 * Melissa Castillo-Garsow, ¡Manteca!: An Anthology of Afro-Latin@ Poets (2018)

 * it has to do with Du Bois’s idea of double consciousness: you inherit a set of values at home, and have to embrace another set of values when you walk out of home. You are appreciated if you are more assertive at school. On the contrary, you are supposed to be obedient at home. It’s about balancing the two worlds. My poetry is about negotiating many worlds, the past and the present, as well as the East and the West. “Inner cultivation” and outer despair. The sublime and the ridiculous.
 * Marilyn Chin Interview with Asian Review of Books (2020)

 * "The United States is at war with Haiti," W. E. B. Dubois wrote after returning from a fact-finding mission to occupied Haiti. "Congress has never sanctioned the war. Josephus Daniels [President Woodrow Wilson's secretary of the navy] has illegally and unjustly occupied a free foreign land and murdered its inhabitants by the thousands. He has deposed its officials and dispersed its legally elected representatives. He is carrying on a reign of terror, brow-beating, and cruelty, at the hands of southern white naval officers and Marines. For more than a year this red-handed deviltry has proceeded, and today the Island is in open rebellion."
 * Edwidge Danticat Create Dangerously: The Immigrant Artist at Work (2010), also in her introduction to the English translation of Love, Anger, Madness: A Haitian Trilogy by Marie Vieux-Chauvet

 * every person in this country, from high school to the postgraduate level, should read W. E. B. Du Bois's Black Reconstruction in America. In the 1960s we confronted issues that should have been resolved in the 1860s. And I'm making this point because what happens when 2060 rolls around? Will people still be addressing these same issues?
 * Angela Y. Davis, Freedom Is a Constant Struggle (2015)

 * We have been aware of the need for these institutional strategies at least since 1935 — but of course before, but I’m choosing 1935 because that was the year when W.E.B. Du Bois published his germinal Black Reconstruction in America. And the question was not what should individual Black people do, but rather how to reorganize and restructure post-slavery society in order to guarantee the incorporation of those who had been formerly enslaved. The society could not remain the same — or should not have remained the same. Neoliberalism resists change at the individual level. It asks the individual to adapt to conditions of capitalism, to conditions of racism.
 * Angela Davis, Interview with Democracy Now (2020)

 * Du Bois argues that it was the withdrawal and bestowal of labor by slaves that won the war. And what he calls "this of striking labor" eventually provided the two hundred thousand soldiers, "whose evident ability to fight decided the war." And these soldiers included women like Harriet Tubman, who was a soldier and a spy and had to fight for many years in order to be granted, later, on a soldier's pension.
 * Angela Y. Davis, Freedom Is a Constant Struggle (2015)

 * W.E.B. Du Bois called such erasure [of the first arrival of enslaved Africans to America] the propaganda of history. "It is propaganda like this that has led men in the past to insist that history is 'lies agreed upon'; and to point out the danger in such misinformation," he wrote in his influential treatise Black Reconstruction (1935). Du Bois argued that America had falsified the fact of its history "because the nation was ashamed.”
 * Nikole Hannah-Jones, Four Hundred Souls: A Community History of African America, 1619-2019

 * a decidedly moving book
 * William James about The Souls of Black Folk, 6/6/1903 letter in The Letters of William James (2012)

 * As Cedric Robinson argued, a group of radical black intellectuals including W. E. B. Du Bois, Aimé Césaire, C. L. R. James, George Padmore, Ralph Bunche, Oliver Cox, and others, understood fascism not as some aberration from the march of progress, an unexpected right-wing turn, but a logical development of Western civilization itself...In The World and Africa (1947), Du Bois writes: "There was no Nazi atrocity-concentration camps, wholesale maiming and murder, defilement of women or ghastly blasphemy of childhood-which Christian civilization or Europe had not long been practicing against colored folk in all parts of the world in the name of and for the defense of a Superior Race born to rule the world."
 * Robin Kelley Freedom Dreams (2002)

 * Unfortunately, neither Du Bois nor Robeson nor anyone else with a continuing commitment to the Left had anything to say about Stalin's atrocities-the political assassinations, the gulags, the Soviet state's hidden war against political dissidents and Russian Jews. Although it is not clear who knew what before Khruschev unveiled these crimes to the world in 1956, the silence that followed these revelations is one of the great tragedies in the history of the Communist movement. The other great tragedy, for the black freedom movement in particular, was the silencing of radical leadership. Robeson, Du Bois, and Claudia Jones were among the many victims of statesponsored anticommunist witch hunts.
 * Robin Kelley Freedom Dreams (2002)

 * one could argue, as W. E. B. DuBois did in his book Black Reconstruction in America, that by running away from the plantations and permanently withholding their labor from their tormentors, escapees from the slave system were, in a way, striking.
 * Kim Kelly (journalist) Fight Like Hell: The Untold History of American Labor (2022)

 * A ninety-year-old Du Bois was hopeful, too, in another way. "Today, the United States is fighting world progress, progress which must be toward socialism and against colonialism," he said, speaking to seven hundred students and faculty at Howard University in April 1958. Later in the year, having gotten his passport back, Du Bois toured Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, and Communist China, where he happily met Chairman Mao Tse-tung. When Mao started musing about the "diseased psychology" of African Americans, showing that he was attuned to the latest racist social science, Du Bois interjected. Blacks were not diseased psychologically; they lacked incomes, Du Bois explained, inciting a debate and a fusillade of questions from Mao. When Du Bois expressed some of his failures as an activist, Mao interjected. Activists only failed when they stopped struggling. "This, I gather," Mao said, "you have never done."
 * Ibram X. Kendi, Stamped From the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America (2016), New York: Bold Type Books, p. 368

 * Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, in his earlier years at the turn of the century, urged the “talented tenth” to rise and pull behind it the mass of the race. His doctrine served somewhat to counteract the apparent resignation of Booker T. Washington’s philosophy. Yet, in the very nature of Du Bois’s outlook there was no role for the whole people. It was a tactic for an aristocratic elite who would themselves be benefited while leaving behind the “untalented” 90 percent.
 * Martin Luther King, Jr., Why We Can't Wait (1963), p. 25

 * There is this... that must be admired about DuBois, Robeson, Ben Davis and others. They are not taking it lying down. Ben Davis is in prison... Robeson bas sacrificed... DuBois has fought without let up for over half a century and at 85 be is determined as ever. Some day when truth gets a hearing, America, regardless of colour, we will honour them.
 * J. A. Rogers, attributed in Claudia Jones: Beyond Containment: Autobiographical Reflections, Essays, and Poems

 * More than a century ago, Du Bois posited a profound incommensurability between Blackness and Americanness. This incommensurability was at the heart of his formulation of double-consciousness, the "sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others" (Du Bois 1903:5). For Du Bois, to be Black in America was to develop a felt "two-ness... two unreconciled strivings" (1903:5). The desired resolution for Du Bois was a different sort of doubleness, one that would "make it possible for a man to be both a Negro and an American... without having the doors of opportunity closed roughly in his face" (1903:5). How could one be Black and "successful" in America? Du Bois' engagement with this question was a precursor to the NNHS-based concept of Young Latino Professional that emerged more than a century later. What Du Bois described as the "veil" that barred African Americans from the White American world can be productively understood in relation to Latinx subjectivities by drawing on Gloria Anzaldúa's theorization of exclusion in Borderlands/La Frontera (1987). For Anzaldúa, borders are recursive structures that can be reproduced on a number of scales, such that the "color line" (in Du Bois' terms) is just one of many possible sites for the production of exclusion and double-consciousness. In her formulation of a New Mestiza Consciousness, the racial and economic exclusion caused by colonialism must always be understood in relation to the sexual and gender domination of patriarchy. Anzaldúa's Chicana feminism involves the experience of multiple forms of double-consciousness in response to the multiplicity of power. In some places, Anzaldúa characterizes her lesbian Chicana feminist consciousness as a "Shadow-Beast... that refuses to take orders from outside authorities... that hates constraints of any kind, even those self-imposed" (1987:38)...What Du Bois' navigates as transcendence around and above the exclusionary veil, allowing him to access both the Black and White worlds, Anzaldúa approaches with a hopeful ambivalence: she is without country as a Mestiza, yet possesses all countries through the potential for feminine kinship: she is without race as a lesbian, yet identifies with all races as part of a queer diaspora; and she is without culture as a staunch critic of patriarchal beliefs and practices, yet fully cultural as a creative participant in the production of an emergent reality (1987:102-103).

 * I had epiphanies about the fragility of American democracy reading W.E.B. Du Bois's Black Reconstruction in America.
 * Adam Serwer, The Cruelty is the Point (2021)

 * It took another few decades of scholarship, and the civil rights movement, to shift the public perception of the era toward the truth. The few dissenting voices, like W.E.B. Du Bois, were ignored at the time and vindicated by historians only after decades of hindsight.
 * Adam Serwer, The Cruelty is the Point (2021)

 * "For a brief period for the seven mystic years that stretched between Johnson's 'Swing Around the Circle' to the Panic of 1873-the majority of thinking Americans of the North believed in the equal manhood of Negroes," W.E.B. Du Bois wrote in 1935. "While after long years the American world recovered in most matters, it has never yet quite understood why it could ever have thought that black men were altogether human." These Americans believed black lives mattered. But only for a moment.
 * Adam Serwer, The Cruelty is the Point (2021)

 * Abolitionists urged defiance of the Fugitive Slave Act and lived by their words, running slave catchers out of town and breaking captured black people out of custody. Frederick Douglass said that the best way to make the act a "dead letter" was "to make half a dozen or more dead kidnappers."
 * Adam Serwer, The Cruelty is the Point (2021)

 * In his 1935 book, Black Reconstruction in America, W. E. B. Du Bois wrote that the story the country tells about its relationship to chattel slavery is willfully distorted. "Our histories tend to discuss American slavery so impartially, that in the end nobody seems to have done wrong and everybody was right. Slavery appears to have been thrust upon unwilling helpless America, while the South was blameless in becoming its center... One is astonished in the study of history at the recurrence of the idea that evil must be forgotten, distorted, skimmed over.'
 * Clint Smith (writer), How the Word is Passed (2021)

 * In 1931, W. E. B. Du Bois attacked the decision to erect Confederate monuments as ahistorical and irresponsible: "The most terrible thing about War, I am convinced, is its monuments-the awful things we are compelled to build in order to remember the victims. In the South, particularly, human ingenuity has been put to it to explain on its war monuments, the Confederacy. Of course, the plain truth of the matter would be an inscription something like this: "Sacred to the memory of those who fought to Perpetuate Human Slavery." But that reads with increasing difficulty as time goes on. It does, however, seem to be overdoing the matter to read on a North Carolina Confederate monument: "Died Fighting for Liberty!"
 * Clint Smith (writer), How the Word is Passed (2021)

 * W. E. B. DuBois was so taken with the Nazi movement that he put swastikas on the cover of a magazine he edited, despite complaints from Jewish readers. Even after Hitler achieved dictatorial power in Germany in 1933, DuBois declared that the Nazi dictatorship was “absolutely necessary in order to get the state in order.” As late as 1937 he said in a speech in Harlem that “there is today, in some respects, more democracy in Germany than there has been in years past.”
 * Thomas Sowell, Who Is “Fascist”? The abuse and proper use of a political label. National Review, February 13, 2008

 * Dr. Du Bois had written his The Souls of Black Folk the year following the fiasco of the Afro-American Council in Saint Paul. Although the country at large seemed to be accepting and adopting Mr. Washington's theories of industrial education, a large number agreed with Dr. Du Bois that it was impossible to limit the aspirations and endeavors of an entire race within the confines of the industrial education program.
 * Crusade for Justice: The Autobiography of Ida B. Wells (1991)

 * The Enlightenment worldview held by Du Bois is ultimately inadequate, and, in many ways, antiquated, for our time. The tragic plight and absurd predicament of Africans here and abroad requires a more profound interpretation of the human condition — one that goes beyond the false dichotomies of expert knowledge vs. mass ignorance, individual autonomy vs. dogmatic authority, and self-mastery vs. intolerant tradition.
 * The Future of the Race (1997) by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Cornel West, p. 64

Howard Zinn, A People’s History of the United States

 * the problem of "the color line," as W. E. B. Du Bois put it, is still with us.

 * W. E. B. Du Bois, saw the late-nineteenth-century betrayal of the Negro as part of a larger happening in the United States, something happening not only to poor blacks but to poor whites. In his book Black Reconstruction, written in 1935, he said: “God wept; but that mattered little to an unbelieving age; what mattered most was that the world wept and still is weeping and blind with tears and blood. For there began to rise in America in 1876 a new capitalism and a new enslavement of labor.” Du Bois saw this new capitalism as part of a process of exploitation and bribery taking place in all the "civilized" countries of the world: “Home labor in cultured lands, appeased and misled by a ballot whose power the dictatorship of vast capital strictly curtailed, was bribed by high wage and political office to unite in an exploitation of white, yellow, brown and black labor, in lesser lands..”

 * In general, the Negro was kept out of the trade union movement. W. E. B. Du Bois wrote in 1913: "The net result of all this has been to convince the American Negro that his greatest enemy is not the employer who robs him, but his fellow white workingman."

 * The NAACP concentrated on legal action and education, but Du Bois represented in it that spirit which was embodied in the Niagara movement's declaration: "Persistent manly agitation is the way to liberty."

The Untouchables

The Untouchables is a 1987 film, set during Prohibition, in which Treasury agent Eliot Ness sets out to stop ruthless Chicago gangster Al Capone, and assembles a small, incorruptible team to help him.
 * Directed by Brian DePalma. Written by David Mamet.

Never stop fighting till the fight is done. taglines

Eliot Ness

 * I have foresworn myself. I have broken every law I have sworn to uphold, I have become what I beheld and I am content that I have done right!

Jim Malone

 * [to Ness] Welcome to Chicago. This town stinks like a whorehouse at low tide.

 * You just fulfilled the first rule of law enforcement: Make sure when your shift is over, you go home alive.

 * That's the second rule of police work. If you want to keep a secret, don't tell the boss.

 * [about finding a team member not under Capone's influence] If you're afraid of getting a rotten apple, don't go to the barrel. Get it off the tree.

 * [When asked about if a cop is trustworthy] Well, he'd better be - he's my cousin.

 * [to Ness, preparing for the liquor raid at the border] Take it easy...take it easy! It'll all happen in time. This is the job. Don't wait for it to happen. Don't even want it to happen. Just watch what does happen.

 * [chasing a knife-armed thug out of his house with a shotgun] Isn't that just like a Wop? Brings a knife to a gunfight! Get outta here, you Dago bastard! Go on, get your ass outta here!

Al Capone

 * [to reporters] I'm gonna tell you something. Somebody messes with me? I'm gonna mess with him. Somebody steals from me? I'm gonna say you stole, not talk to him for spittin' on the sidewalk. Y'understand? Now, I have done nothing to hurt these people, but they're angered at me, so what do they do? Doctor up some "income tax", for which they got no case. To annoy me. To speak to me like men? No. To harass a peaceful man. I pray to God if I ever had a grievance I would have just a little more self respect. I'll tell you one more thing. You got an all-out prizefight? You wait until the fight is over, one guy's left standing, and that's how you know who won.

 * I grew up in a tough neighborhood. We used to say, "You can get further with a kind word and a gun than you can with just a kind word." And in that neighborhood, it might've been true. And sometimes your reputation follows you. Yes! There is violence in Chicago. But not by me, and not by anybody who works for me, and I'll tell you why: because it's bad for business.

 * People are gonna drink - you know that, I know that, we all know that, and all I do is act on that. And all this talk of bootlegging - what is bootlegging? On a boat, it's bootlegging. On Lake Shore Drive, it's hospitality. I'm a businessman!

 * Life goes on. A man becomes preeminent, he's expected to have enthusiasms. Enthusiasms... Enthusiasms... What are mine? What draws my admiration? What is that which gives me joy? [grabs a baseball bat] Baseball! A man stands alone at the plate. This is the time for what? For individual achievement. There he stands alone. But in the field, what? Part of a team. Teamwork.... Looks, throws, catches, hustles - part of one big team. Bats himself the live-long day, Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and so on. If his team don't field... what is he? You follow me? No one! Sunny day, the stands are full of fans. What does he have to say? "I'm goin' out there for myself. But... I get nowhere unless the team wins." [Beats his henchman to death with his bat]

 * I want you to get this fuck where he breathes! I want you to find this Nancy-boy Eliot Ness, I want him dead! I want his family dead! I want his house burned to the ground! I wanna go there in the middle of the night and I wanna piss on his ashes!

 * [to Ness] You got nothing. You're nothing but a lot of talk and a badge! You hear me? Cause you got nothing! You got nothing in court, you don't got the bookkeeper, you got NOTHING! NOTHING! And if you were a man, you would've done it now! You don't got a thing, you punk!

Dialogue

 * Reporter: An article, which I believe appeared in a newspaper, asked why, since you are, or it would seem that you are, in effect, the mayor of Chicago, you've not simply been appointed to that position.
 * [other reporters laugh]
 * Capone: Well, I'll tell ya, you know, it's touching. Like a lot of things in life, we laugh because it's funny and we laugh because it's true. Now, some people will say - reformers, they'll say, 'Put that man in jail! What does he think he is doing?' Well, what I hope I'm doing, and here's where your English paper's got a point, is - I'm responding to the will of the people.

 * Ness: We have several operations in the works, so we're rather busy, Alderman. What can we do for you?
 * Alderman: I came up to congratulate you on a job well done. Share your good fortune on such a lovely day.
 * [Drops bribe envelope on the desk]
 * Ness: What's that?
 * [shrugs and giggles]
 * Ness: What is that?
 * Alderman: Mr. Ness, you're an educated man. Let me pay you the compliment of being blunt. There's a large, a large and popular business that you are causing dismay. Why don't you just cross the street and let things take their course?
 * Ness: [Summoning the team] Would you come in here please? [as the team enters] In Roman times, when a fellow was convicted of trying to bribe a public official, they would cut off his nose, and sew him in a bag with a wild animal, and throw that bag in the river. [picking up the bribe and throwing it at the Alderman] You tell your master that we must agree to disagree!
 * Alderman: You're making a mistake.
 * Ness: Yeah I know, well I've made them before I'm beginning to enjoy them.
 * Alderman: You fellows are untouchable, is that the thing? No one can get to you? Hey, everyone can be gotten to.
 * Ness: You tell Capone, that I'll see him in hell.

 * [Malone and Ness talking about how to bring down Capone.]
 * Malone: You said you wanted to know how to get Capone. [Ness nods] Do you really want to get him? [pause] You see what I'm saying? What are you prepared to do?
 * Ness: Everything within the law.
 * Malone: And then what are you prepared to do? If you open the ball on these people, Mr. Ness, you must be prepared to go all the way. Because they won't give up the fight, until one of you is dead.
 * Ness: I want to get Capone. I don't know how to get him.
 * Malone: You want to get Capone? Here's how you get him. He pulls a knife? You pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital? You send one of his to the morgue! That's the Chicago way, and that's how you get Capone! Now, do you want to do that? Are you ready to do that? I'm making you a deal. Do you want this deal?
 * Ness: I have sworn to put this man away with any and all legal means at my disposal, and I will do so.
 * Malone: Well, the Lord hates a coward. [shakes Ness' hand] Do you know what a blood oath is, Mr. Ness?
 * Ness: Yes.
 * Malone: Good, because you just took one.

 * [First meeting of Ness and Malone with George Stone, at the police academy firing range.]
 * Malone: [piercingly] Where are you from, Stone?
 * Stone: [smiling] From the South Side.
 * Malone: "Stone?" "George Stone?" That's your name? What's your real name?
 * Stone: That is my real name.
 * Malone: Nah, what was it before you changed it?
 * Stone: [his smile fading] Giuseppe Petri.
 * Malone: Geez, I knew it! That's all you need, one thievin' Wop on the team!
 * Stone: [offended] What's that you say?
 * Malone: I said that you're a lyin' member of a no-good race!
 * [Stone knocks Malone's clipboard aside, then quickly draws a revolver and puts it to his neck as Malone grabs a baton.]
 * Stone: [coldly] It's much better than you, you stinkin' Irish pig.
 * Malone: [to Ness] Oh, I like him.
 * Ness: Yeah, I like him too.
 * [Malone shakes hands with Stone]
 * Malone: You just joined the Treasury Department, son.
 * Stone: [smiles] Yeah, okay.

 * Malone: [at the post office] Well, here we are.
 * Ness: What are we doing here?
 * Malone: Liquor raid.
 * Ness: [looking at the police station across the street] Here?
 * Malone: Mr. Ness, everybody knows where the booze is. The problem isn't finding it, the problem is who wants to cross Capone.

 * Malone: [Enters and fires into the air] Federal officers!
 * Ness: Get your hands in the air! Nobody move!
 * Malone: This is a raid!
 * Ness: Everybody into the center of the room!
 * Hood: What are you doing here?
 * Malone: All this stuff is impounded! You're all under arrest!
 * Hood: Hey, this isn't right! Hey, this is no good! You got a warrant?
 * Malone: Sure, here's my warrant! [Punches him twice in the stomach. He collapses] How do you think he feels now? Better? Or worse?

 * [Ness sees Malone toying with a St. Jude medallion.]
 * Ness: What is that?
 * Malone: [surprised] "What is that?"
 * Ness: Yes, what is it?
 * Malone: God, I'm with the heathen. [shows medallion, with a key on the chain] That is my call box key, and that is St. Jude.
 * Stone: Santo Jude. He's the patron saint of the lost causes.
 * Malone: And policemen.
 * Ness: Patron saint of policemen?
 * Malone: Everybody needs a friend.

 * [Ness has just shot a gangster during the raid at the Canadian border.]
 * Ness: I had to kill him.
 * Malone: Oh, yeah. He's as dead as Julius Caesar.
 * [sees Ness is still not at ease]
 * Malone: Would you rather it was you?
 * Ness: No, I would not.
 * Malone: Well, then, you've done your duty. Go home and sleep well tonight.

 * [After the border raid, Malone has scared George into agreeing to testify against Capone by 'executing' an already-dead gangster for refusing to talk.]
 * Mountie Captain: Mr. Ness! I do not approve of your methods.
 * Ness: Yeah? Well, you're not from Chicago.

 * [Ness confronts Capone, along with his son and several thugs]
 * Thug: Something you want here?
 * Ness: My friend was killed today.
 * Thug: I don't care.
 * Ness: You don't care?
 * [Ness punches the thug out, and gets restrained by two others]
 * Ness: Now he does. [to Capone] Come on here, Capone! You want to fight? You and me, right here?! That's it, come on! What's the matter? You afraid to come out from behind your men, you afraid to stand up for yourself?!
 * Capone: You want to do it now?! You want to do it right now?!
 * Ness: Yeah! Come on, you Guinea son-of-a-bitch!
 * Capone: What?!
 * Thug: Easy!
 * Capone: You talk to me like that in front of my son?! Fuck you and your family!
 * Ness: Fu--
 * [Ness goes for his gun, while all of Capone's thugs pull out their guns and point them at Ness]

 * Ness: [referring to Malone] I'm going to see you burn, you son of a bitch, because you killed my friend!
 * Nitti: He died like a pig.
 * Ness: What did you say?
 * Nitti: I said that your friend died screaming like a stuck Irish pig! Now you think about that when I beat the rap. [Walks off, combing his hair. Ness, enraged, grabs him and pushes him off the roof] Hey! HEY! [he falls, screaming]
 * Ness: DID HE SOUND ANYTHING LIKE THAT?!

 * [Ness confronts Capone after he is found guilty]
 * Ness: Never stop-- Never stop fighting till the fight is done.
 * Capone: What'd he say? What'd you say?
 * Ness: I said, "Never stop fighting till the fight is done"!
 * Capone: What?
 * Ness: You heard me, Capone. It's over!
 * Capone: C'mon! You're nothing but a lot of talk and a badge!
 * Ness: Here endeth the lesson.
 * [Ness walks away and shakes Stone's hand, while Capone continues to yell at Ness and tries to attack him, while the people hold him back.]

 * Reporter: They say they're going to repeal Prohibition. What will you do then?
 * Ness: I think I'll have a drink.

Eliphas Levi

Eliphas Lévi (February 8, 1810 – May 31, 1875), born Alphonse Louis Constant, was a French occult author and magician. "Eliphas Lévi," the name under which he published his books, was his attempt to translate or transliterate his given names "Alphonse Louis" into Hebrew.

The History Of Magic (1860)

 * (Text online)

 * Magic has been confounded too long with the jugglery of mountebanks, the hallucinations of disordered minds and the crimes of certain unusual malefactors. There are otherwise many who would promptly explain Magic  as the art of producing effects in the absence of causes; and on the strength of such a definition it will be said  by ordinary people — with the good sense which characterises the ordinary, in the midst of much injustice — that Magic is an absurdity. (Introduction)

 * It can have no analogy in fact with the descriptions of those who know nothing of the subject; furthermore, it is not to be represented as this or that by any person whomsoever: it is that which  it is, drawing from itself only, even as mathematics do, for it is the exact and absolute science of Nature and  her laws. (Introduction)

 * Magic is the science of the ancient magi; and the Christian religion, which silenced the counterfeit oracles and put a stop to the illusions of false gods, does, this notwithstanding, revere those mystic kings who came from the East, led by a star, to adore the Saviour of the world in His cradle. They are elevated by tradition to the rank of kings, because magical initiation constitutes a true royalty; because also the great art of the magi is characterised by all adepts as the Royal Art, as the Holy Kingdom — Sanctum Regnum. The star which conducted the pilgrims is the same Burning Star which is met with in all initiations. For alchemists it is the  sign of the quintessence, for magicians it is the Great Arcanum, for Kabalists the sacred pentagram. (Introduction)

 * The Great Work is the attainment of that middle point in which equilibrating force abides. Furthermore, the reactions of equilibrated force do everywhere conserve universal life by the perpetual motion of birth and death. It is for this reason that the philosophers have compared their gold to the sun. For the same reason that same  gold cures all diseases of the soul and communicates immortality. (p. 500)

 * Those who have found this middle point are true and wonderworking adepts of science and reason. They are masters of the wealth of worlds, confidants and friends of the princes of heaven itself, and Nature obeys them because they will what is willed by the law which is the motive power of Nature. It is this which the Saviour of the world spoke of as the Kingdom of Heaven; this also is the Sanctum Regnum of the Holy Kabalah. It is the Crown and Ring of Solomon ; it is the Sceptre of Joseph which the stars obeyed in heaven and the harvests on earth. (p.501)

The Great Secret: or Occultism Unveiled

 * Originally written in 1868. Published in French in 1898. Published in English in 1975.

ISBN 0-87728-938-7

 * Happy in the time of Jesus were those who wept! Happy, now, are those who can laugh, because laughter is the attribute of man, as the great prophet of the Renaissance, Rabelais, said. Laughter is forbearance; laughter is philosophy. The heavens clear when they laugh, and the great secret of divine omnipotence resides in an eternal smile!
 * Book Two: The Royal Mystery or the Art of Subduing the Powers, Chapter V: The Outer Darkness

 * We want to be clearly understood on this point. We are not trying to say that signs and rites are a big piece of humbug. They would be such if people did not need them; but we have to recognize that everyone has not the same degree of intelligence. Children have always had fairy stories told to them, and these stories will continue to be told as long as there are nurses and mothers. Children have faith and this is what saves them. Imagine a child of seven saying: 'I do not want to accept anything I cannot understand.' What could one teach such a monster? Accept what your teachers tell you to begin with, my fine fellow, then study it and, if you are not an idiot, you will understand it by-and-by.
 * Book Two: The Royal Mystery or the Art of Subduing the Powers, Chapter XI: The Arcana of Solomon's Ring

 * Progress is a possibility for the animal: it can be broken in, tamed and trained; but it is not a possibility for the fool, because the fool thinks he has nothing to learn. It is his place to dictate to others and put them right, and so it is impossible to reason with him. He will laugh you to scorn in saying that what he does not understand is not a meaningful proposition. 'Why don't I understand it, then?', he asks you, with marvellous impudence. To tell him it is because he is a fool would only be taken as an insult, so there is nothing you can say in reply. Everybody else sees it quite clearly, but he will never realize it. Here then, at the outset, is a potent secret which is inaccessible to the majority of people; a secret which they will never guess and which it would be useless to tell them: the secret of their own stupidity.
 * Book Two: The Royal Mystery or the Art of Subduing the Powers, Chapter XII: The Terrible Secret

 * "Father, forgive them," said Jesus, "for they know not what they do." – People of good sense, whoever you may be, I will add, do not listen to them, for they know not what they say.
 * Book Two: The Royal Mystery or the Art of Subduing the Powers, Chapter XII: The Terrible Secret

Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie (1856)

 * In English: The Doctrine and Ritual of High Magic.

 * 1. א All things proclaim an active, thinking cause. 2. ב The living unity heeds number's laws. 3. ג That which contains all is by nothing bound. 4. ד Before all else, He everywhere is found. 5. ה He, the sole Master—praise to Him alone! 6. ו To pure hearts His true doctrine He makes known. 7. ז Faith's works a single guide have, under heaven. 8. ח So one sole altar and one law are given. 9. ט What the Eternal founds, forever stays. 10. י From high, down to our time, He rules each phase. 11. כ Great is His mercy, and His wrath severe. 12. ל He sends a king unto His people dear. 13. מ The tomb but leads to new lands by and by, Life is immortal, death alone shall die.

 * Four letters make the Name that rules all names.

 * "The sign of the Cross adopted by the Christians does not belong exclusively to them. It is kabalistic, and represents the oppositions and quaternary equilibrium of the elements. We see by the occult verse of the Pater, to which we have called attention in another work, that there were originally two ways of making it, or, at least, two very different formulas to express its meaning — one reserved for priests and initiates; the other given to neophytes and the profane. Thus, for example, the initiate, carrying his hand to his forehead, said: To thee; then he added, belong; and continued, while carrying his hand to the breast — the kingdom; then, to the left shoulder — justice; to the right shoulder — and mercy. Then he joined the two hands, adding: throughout the generating cycles: 'Tibi sunt Malchut, et Geburah et Chassed per AEonas' — a sign of the Cross, absolutely and magnificently kabalistic, which the profanations of Gnosticism made the militant and official Church completely lose.
 * Quoted in Isis Unveiled, by H.P. Blavatsky, Vol. II, Chapter III] (1877)

 * Bloody and hideous facts; acts of revolting superstition, arrests, and executions of stupid ferocity. "Burn every body!" the Inquisition seemed to say — God will easily sort out His own! Poor fools, hysterical women, and idiots were roasted alive, without mercy, for the crime of "magic." But, at the same time, how many great culprits escaped this unjust and sanguinary justice! This is what Bodin makes us fully appreciate.
 * Quoted in Isis Unveiled, by H.P. Blavatsky, Vol. II, Chapter III (1877)

Miscellaneous Quotes On the Subjects of Magic and Magicians

 * Lévi's works are filled with various definitions for "magic" and "magician".

Magic

 * "Magic is the traditional science of the secrets of Nature which has been transmitted to us from the Magi."
 * "THE GREAT Magical Agent, by us termed the Astral Light, by others the soul of the earth, and designated by old chemists under the names of Azoth and MAGNESIA, this occult, unique and indubitable force, is the key of all empire, the secret of all power. It is the winged dragon of Medea, the serpent of the Edenic Mystery; it is the universal glass of visions, [...] To have control of the Great Magical Agent there are two operations necessary – to concentrate and project, or, in other words, to fix and to move."
 * I speak of the imagination, which the Kabalists term the DIAPHANE or TRANSLUCID. Imagination, in effect, is like the soul's eye; therein forms are outlined and preserved; thereby we behold the reflections of the invisible world; it is the glass of visions and the apparatus of magical life. By its intervention we heal diseases, modify the seasons, warn off death from the living and raise the dead to life, because it is the imagination which exalts will and gives it power over the Universal Agent.
 * The force of itself is blind, but can be directed by the will of man and is influenced by prevailing opinions. This universal fluid [the Astral Light] – if we decide to regard it as a fluid – being the common medium of all nervous organisms and the vehicle of all sensitive vibrations, establishes an actual physical solidarity between impressionable persons, and transmits from one to another the impressions of imagination and of thought."
 * [...] the hieroglyphic work of Hermes, being the Tarot or Book of Thoth."
 * "Magic, or rather magical power, comprehends two things, a science and a force: without the force the science is nothing, or rather it is a danger."

 * "The ceremonies being, as we have said, artificial methods for creating a habit of will, become unnecessary when the habit is confirmed."
 * "Magic is an instrument of divine goodness or demoniac pride, but it is the annihilation of earthly joys and the pleasures of mortal life."
 * "There is a true and a false science, a Divine and an Infernal Magic – in other words, one which is delusive and tenebrous."
 * "Necromancy, and Goetia, which is Evil Magic, do produce such shells and demons, apparitions of deceit."

 * "In Black Magic, the Devil means the employment of the Grand Magical Agent for a wicked purpose by a perverted Will."
 * "To practice magic is to be a quack; to know magic is to be a sage."
 * "The science of spirits is therefore summed up entirely in the science of Jesus Christ. Angels and demons are purely hypothetical or legendary beings; let them remain in poetry, they cannot belong to science." *"Magic, the mere name became a crime and the common hatred was formulated in this sentence: “Magicians to the flames!” – as it was shouted some centuries earlier: “To the lions with the Christians!"

 * "Magic is the divinity of man conquered by science in union with faith; the true Magi are Men-Gods, in virtue of their intimate union with the divine principle."
 * "ALL religions have preserved the remembrance of a primitive book, written in hieroglyphs by the sages of the earliest epoch of the world. [...] The tradition in question rests altogether on the one dogma of Magic: the visible is for us the proportional measure of the invisible."

Magician

 * "He knows the significance of all symbolisms [sic] and of all religions; he dares to practise or abstain from them without hypocrisy and without impiety; and he is silent upon the one dogma of supreme initiation. He knows the existence and nature of the Great Magical Agent; he dares perform the acts and give utterance to the words which make it subject to human will, and he is silent upon the mysteries of the Great Arcanum."
 * "I will go further and affirm that magical circles and magnetic currents establish themselves, and have an influence, according to fatal laws, upon those on whom they can act. [...] The man who is eccentric in his genius is one who attempts to form a circle by combating the central attractive force of established chains and currents."

 * "In the “Ritual” it will be our task to estimate the sequence of truly magical ceremonies and evocations which constitute the great work of vocation under the name of the Exercises Of St. Ignatius."

 * "The sorcerer and sorceress were almost invariably a species of human toad, swollen with long-enduring rancours. They were poor, repulsed by all and consequently full of hatred. The fear which they inspired was their consolation and their revenge; poisoned themselves by a society of which they had experienced nothing but the rebuffs and the vices, they poisoned in their turn all those who were weak enough to fear them, and avenged upon beauty and youth their accursed old age and their atrocious ugliness."

 * The most important magical instruments are the wand, the sword, the lamp, the chalice, the altar and the tripod. In the operations of Transcendental and Divine Magic, the lamp, wand and chalice are used; in the works of Black Magic, the wand is replaced by the sword and the lamp by the candle of Cardan."
 * "The Magus must have also another avocation than that of magician. Magic is not a trade."

 * "To live like an anchorite, without the superstitious ignorance which leads him to such a course of life, this is wisdom indeed, and power is the reward."
 * "He looks on the wicked as invalids whom one must pity and cure; the world, with its errors and vices, is to him God's hospital, and he wishes to serve in it."

 * "They are without fears and without desires, dominated by no falsehood, sharing no error, loving without illusion, suffering without impatience, reposing in the quietude of eternal thought... a Magus cannot be ignorant, for magic implies superiority, mastership, majority, and majority signifies emancipation by knowledge. The Magus welcomes pleasure, accepts wealth, deserves honour, but is never the slave of one of them; he knows how to be poor, to abstain, and to suffer; he endures oblivion willingly because he is lord of his own happiness, and expects or fears nothing from the caprice of fortune. He can love without being beloved; he can create imperishable treasures, and exalt himself above the level of honours or the prizes of the lottery. He possesses that which he seeks, namely, profound peace. He regrets nothing which must end, but remembers with satisfaction that he has met with good in all. His hope is a certitude, for he knows that good is eternal and evil transitory. He enjoys solitude, but does not fly the society of man; he is a child with children, joyous with the young, staid with the old, patient with the foolish, happy with the wise. He smiles with all who smile, and mourns with all who weep; applauding strength, he is yet indulgent to weakness; offending no one, he has himself no need to pardon, for he never thinks himself offended; he pities those who misconceive him, and seeks an opportunity to serve them; by the force of kindness only does he avenge himself on the ungrateful..."

 * "Judge not; speak hardly at all; love and act."

 * "He whom we behold perishing poor and abandoned is Cornelius Agrippa, less of a magician than any, though the vulgar persist in regarding him as a more potent sorcerer than all."

 * "There was much talk in the last century about an adept accused of charlatanism, who was termed in his lifetime the divine Cagliostro. It is known that he practised evocations and that in this art he was surpassed only by the illuminated Schroepffer."

Talk:Military character

NPOV tag
Clearly this article should include quotations from non-U.S. military people, as well as non-military people. I'm concerned also that there is only one cited source for all of the quotations, which is not a good thing for a page supposedly about a general theme and not a specific work. 121a0012 04:37, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

 * These comments fail to impress me. For what precise reason would someone "clearly" have to quote non-US military people? Sounds to me like somebody is being very PC. Of course, there is absolutely nothing wrong with adding appropriate quotations by others, but I think you'll find, if you do deep reading in this field, that there is a large current literature on character and leadership by and about US military people. I fail to find a similar deep literature by non-US military people. If you are aware of such literature, you should identify sample items for the rest of us. You might be concerned that there is one cited source, but are you aware that Puryear has spent a lifetime interviewing literally hundreds of general officers ? I know of no one else who has interviewed and corresponded with so many military people. And, of course, at last check, he was teaching on the faculty at Georgetown University and the National Defense University. If you are going to have one source, he really is not so bad! Maybe if you genuinely encourage the author of this page, he or she might be willing to add more materials.

 * Response 2: If I was going to write something about "Military" character, why would I source, reference or even ask someone who was not "Military"? Would I ask a shoe salesman how to sell a car?  I would like to add that my own search for "deep literature" available in the U.S. about military character referencing anyone outside the U. S. Military, short of Napoleon, Hitler and Julius Caesar, has met with negative results.  I did find multiple short sections concerning some of the more famous generals and military leaders in history but nothing of any substance or length at all.  If anyone could find such, I would be interested in reading it.

MY THOUGHT

I believe that until there is enough here there should just be one page for military and then character can go there along with homosexuality in the military, which, so far, is the only sub section there.

Dtabriz username question
An editor using this IP address recently posted an unsigned message to an old discussion on my talk page — User talk:Jeffq — claiming to be User:Dtabriz. I have moved this discussion to User talk:Jeffq to give it proper attention and time for resolution. I'm afraid I had not noticed the post until just now, for reasons I explain in that discussion. Please make further posts about this username issue after logging in so you are properly identified as the user making the request. Thank you. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:16, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Template:Vanity-warn-sd

An article that you've created and/or edited,, has been nominated for speedy deletion. Based on the lack of information on the subject and reviews of similar quote articles, it is suspected that these are not quotes of notable figures with published references, which is what Wikiquote collects, but rather quotes from yourself or your friends or acquaintances. These are what we refer to as "vanity" quotes, much like Wikipedia's "vanity" articles. As is pointed out in FAQ and What Wikiquote is not, which are recommended reading, such quotes are perfectly acceptable on one's user page, but are not a proper subject for quotation in Wikiquote articles.

If so, I invite you to copy the quotes to your user page before the article is deleted. (If is it deleted before you have a chance to do this, you can contact any administrator to restore it and move it to your user page if one does not yet exist.) If instead this person or people have some notoriety in the world at large, and have been quoted in the mainstream media, please add this information to the article before removing the   or    tag. (If others consider this information insufficient, the article may still undergo a vote for deletion discussion, in which you would be welcome to participate.) Thank you for your cooperation.

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 Dan1322. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Dan1322~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 23:21, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

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.

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 Ashley32. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ashley32~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.
