Aoineko,

I have no dictionary at home other than Le Petit
Larousse, so I am gonna ask you something

Please, could you check for me whether the word
"biodiversité" is in there ?

Yes ? good news :-)

No ? then, please, go ahead, delete about 50% of what
I wrote in about 6 months. For it is all about
biodiversité. Please go to my page, and check my
articles. You will probably find out about half of the
things I talk about are NOT in the dic. Please, do
remove all of them. DO !

Do you really think that just because they are not in
the dic, they do not exist, and have no room on
wikipedia ???

Now check out the words on google, and see where the
real life it. Not in the page of an old grey book.

Why is that ? Because, our academicians are old, and
they work slowly. Most theories, most concepts
developped in the past 30 years (how old are you ?)
are not in the dic yet. But they exist. People have
been working on them for years, written books...

It is not because they are not in the academia book
they should not be there, if enough people care about
them, that gives them more reality than your grey and
rusty book.

That's why the net is good stuff. It is up-to-date.

So, please, don't forget to check in other places that
the french dict to check if something exist. And check
reality of existence of words, BEFORE assuming they
don't exist...

Another thing, I never say anything on computer
science or egyptology, because I know very little
about these fields. I think (hope ?) you would admit I
know more about biology and genetics and race than you
do  ?

I will rework the racialism article. I am far from an
expert (very far :-)), but I hope *very much* you will
accept what I will write.


Do you know why

Then improve them, instead of removing them.
And also improve your way of talking to people who
don't think the way you do. That might help Philippe
to be more concilliant - as I think he was in the past
two days.
