Hi, and welcome again! Thanks very much for the excellent work expanding the Jacques Derrida article. It might be nice, though it's no big deal, if you could make a few large edits rather than many, many little ones, just so people can more easily keep track of what's changed in between. Also, you might want to be a bit more careful to keep the article's point of view neutral: not that I don't agree with you about (e.g.) the "Heidegger affair" being no surprise, but if the article expresses an opinion like that, someone will eventually take issue with it. I hope you'll keep contributing such good stuff to the Wikipedia! -- Rbellin 22:27, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)

The best place to discuss concerns about an individual article is usually the Talk page associated with that article (click the "Discussion" or "Discuss this page" link from the article's page to get there). So, in the case of the Derrida article, that page is Talk:Jacques Derrida. Depending on how you work, the Wikipedia community can sometimes feel a little slow to respond (especially when dealing with specialized topics); don't be discouraged by this, but also remember that others will eventually come along and modify the article in the months after you "finish" your work on it.
You might also be interested in looking at the other articles in Category:Deconstruction and helping improve them, as well. (I and several others have put a lot of work into the Deconstruction article, which seems to attract occasional hostility; it is certainly not perfect, but is getting much better.) Thanks for all your work! -- Rbellin 15:09, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

So my next effort will be revisions on Deconstruction, Lacoue-Labarthe, and a few others. I was really put off by the NYT obit on Derrida please see my blog. Buffyg 01:57, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)


I'm finding two different James Jesus Angleton pages, one that links off my User_talk:Nobs#Philby page, and another off Kim_Philby#Chronology_of_Philby.27s_career page which is up for peer review. Nobs 21:46, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

London Wikimedia Fundraiser[edit]

Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 18:09, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Canguilhem's advice to Derrida[edit]

Do you know from which reference this anecdote is taken?

Derrida recalled that Canguilhem advised him early in his career that he would have to distinguish himself as a serious scholar before he could exhibit professionally the particular philosophical sense of humour for which he is at turns famous and notorious, advise which Derrida seemed to have taken in earnest.

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
