The majority of words on this page should be a contribution to the amazing project going on here, and not about me. As I work with all of you towards building the Wikipedia, most of what's here hopefully will be about the contributions I am able to make. That said, something about myself might be appropriate as a brief introduction. I am a lawyer in the Office of General Counsel for an agency in one of the larger states of the contiguous U.S. I work in governmental and administrative law. I have also done prior work in family law, employment law, and some consumer law. I enjoy appellate work, particularly when there is an opportunity to influence the law in socially positive ways. Practicing law is a second career, one I entered in mid-life. My previous career was with federal government. Before that, and longer ago than I care to think about, I served as a scout dog handler in Vietnam. My life is busy so I may only have the spare time to make small, infrequent contributions, but I look forward to working constructively on this project with you. ==To do== *Intellectual History Biographies **Stoicism ***Create articles ****Diogenes of Babylon ****Antipater of Tarsus ***Edit articles ****Musonius Rufus ****Panaetius ****Posidonius (expanded the article with additional research, more to do) **New Thought ***Begun article User:Tregonsee/sandbox/Emma Curtis Hopkins * Legal **Add articles for ***List of Uniform Acts (United States) ****Uniform Interstate Family Support Act ***Full Faith and Credit for Child Support Orders Act ==Quick Links== *Law **United States law **List of legal Latin terms **List of legal topics ***List of business law topics *NLP **NLP map ==Resources== ===WikiLinks=== *Wikipedia:Topical index *Special:Newpages ====WikiNews==== *Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost ====Writing==== *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style Manual of Style] *Wikipedia:Cite sources ====Editing==== *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_edit_a_page/Wikipedia:How To edit a page *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirect Page Redirect] *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Image_use_policy Using Images] *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_use_tables Using Tables] *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion Votes for Deletion] *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categorization Creating Categories] *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload Uploading Images] *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Style_and_How-to_Directory How-to Section] *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dealing_with_vandalism About Vandalism] *[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Special_characters Character Map] *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_messages/Disputes Templates] *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags Copyright Tags] *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Categories List of Categories] *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categorization Categorization] *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines Wikipedia Policies and Guidelines]

== re: Stoicism == Hi Tregonsee--absolutely, the changes make sense and I agree with them. I love the Stoics--they were trying so hard to live a life that made sense and make a more humane world. I wish there were more of them around today. Which books did you mean? --User:Pariah 03:34, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC) ---- Hi again! Wow--Rufus, Panatius, Posidonius, Musonius...I never realized there were so many Stoics writers. I have to admit, about 95% of what I know about Stoicism comes from Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and what I was taught by a practicing Stoic (also the guy that told me about Hadot). The focus was always on the spiritual exercises, so I'll be looking forward to your additions on Stoic logic. 'Tis true--I read a lot of SF, esp. these days. If you're into the Dune series, it's worth reading Children of Dune (#3), as it's much better than Dune Messiah. Also--thanks for the heads up on that link (now fixed--[http://www.simonyi.ox.ac.uk/dawkins/WorldOfDawkins-archive/Dawkins/Work/Articles/1993-summervirusesofmind.shtml Viruses of the Mind]). I intend to post a critique on my talk page when I get the time. I first heard about Dawkins & memetics a while back, but only recently started investigating when those articles caught my attention. Unfortunately, I really don't like what I see. The more I learn, the more memetics looks like fanciful psuedoscience; and Dawkins himself is scary. He pathologises religion without understanding it (and equating religion with its misuse); meanwhile this talk of ''mental infection'' conjures visions of Stalinesque "re-education" camps and ''One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest'' in my head. But then again, I am still researching...--User:Pariah 10:28, Mar 16, 2005 (UTC) == On Friendship and Laelius de Amicitia == Hi. thanks for bringing that to my attention. Unfortunately, a short google search reveals that the source of the text is copyrighted [http://www.uah.edu/student_life/organizations/SAL/claslattexts/cicero/deamicitia.html] and we cannot use it. Very sorry about that. I have listed the two articles as copyright violations on Wikipedia:Copyright problems. We would need to start the article again from scratch if you are interested. About the redirect: This can be done very simple: Just add #REDIRECT PageName as the only text to the page that shall be redirected to another page. Also, if you make a redirect, make sure that there are no double redirects (click "What links here" on the menue on the left). Again, thanks for your contributions! Happy editing -- User:Chris 73 User talk:Chris 73 19:03, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC) == New Thought Movement == Hi. Thanks for the info on that one, too. To undo such a change, just click on "history", select the last good version, then "edit" this last good version and save it, You will get a warning that there is a newer version, just click OK, and you have reverted the article to a previous version. Happy editing -- User:Chris 73 User talk:Chris 73 13:54, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
