] Date Posted: 16:48:40 11/11/04 Thu In reply to: Nick (UK) 's message, "Had anyone noticed we have a professional write-up on Wikipedia?" on 10:42:38 11/11/04 Thu I would have expected it to take a little longer, given how much the central idea of FC is at odds with prevailing nationalist and/or euro-federalist trends. "Breaking out" will be a difficult moment for the group. So far, we have been able to determine what the FC idea means, because it has been centred on these websites. Once it gets out into the public, all sorts of people may claim to share our vision when we would prefer to say that they have nothing at all to do with us. We will have to be very careful to distinguish between people who really share our core ideas but may have major differences - people we can work with - and people who have fundamentally different ideas, and from whom we must distinguish ourselves. The main point where this will be necessary is likely to be the nonsense of "race". We must be absolutely firm on this: people who wish to argue on racist terms cannot be allowed to speak in the name of FCS. If we do not make this completely clear, if we do not have the patience to stand up every time the issue is raised and calmly explain that our proposal has NOTHING to do with race, then we will be lost, and deservedly so.

Date Posted: 16:54:04 11/11/04 Thu I think someone from this forum made the wiki page not long ago. Anyone can create a wiki page once they are registered. A few more of us should sign up and link anything else relevant to the wikiFCS page and try to increase the volume of information there. ---- The idea of a letter to send is good. I tried to do a similar thing but for businessmen and media etc. with emails but apart from a few contributions there was no large influx of contact details. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 17:11:29 11/11/04 Thu Someone will have to keep an eye on the page to make sure that it isn't turned against us. Anyone can edit it. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 17:19:40 11/11/04 Thu Actually, anyone can create or edit a non-protected Wiki page, irrevelevant of if they are registered or not. Vandalism is quite rare though, sicne reversing changes can be done with a click or two and all IP addresses of non-signed-in users are logged and on display to the general public. (As I said previously in the dicussion tree, I created the article though am not responsible for the recent edits.) [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 17:30:58 11/11/04 Thu I've added the page to my watch list and will monitor it. To the person responsible: This is a serious project, as is Wikipedia; you are not anonymous (here are some other recent edits from our unnamed assailant, who is using the IP address 146.176.49.119 - notice the edits of Cornwall). Wikipedia has a neutrality policy which you will respect; you are more than welcome to add helpful comments to the article, otherwise, please do not continue editing it. Thank you.

Date Posted: 18:23:06 11/11/04 Thu i think it could be that young irelander guy. There was a comment about the FCS not accepting that Ulster was part of the country of Ireland. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 09:27:56 11/12/04 Fri Sorry, I didn't realise how Wikipedia worked. Good work Roberdin. And thanks to everyone who's getting us noticed on the web. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 15:54:55 11/12/04 Fri Understandably, it is, after all, an unusual concept. Please add more information as you like. :) If we can get the article to a sufficiently high standard, then I will submit it as consideration for their Article of the Day. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
