[edit] Hello

Thanks for the welcome. Am I allowed to copy codes from other users? I want to copy parts from Anonymous' and Voldemort's pages. Half-Blood Auror 18:49, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

You can certainly swipe some parts - it is probably polite not to make a complete duplicate, or make it look too similar by copying the words, but to understand how they are made and use similar techniques is by all means acceptable. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 18:55, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

ok. thanks. Half-Blood Auror 21:59, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Questions

I've been reading Wikipedia:Administrators and several user pages. What's an RFA and what is "Lupin's Popups"? Half-Blood Auror 20:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

See WP:RFA and WP:POPUP --pgk 20:48, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

What does "Vandalism revert" mean? and what are Wikiprojects? Half-Blood Auror 23:38, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Vandalism. A vandalism revert is reverting to an unvandalised version. Wikiprojects (see Wikipedia:Wikiprojects) are wikipedian-organized projects to improve a certain topic within wikipedia. Hope that helps! --Keitei (talk) 23:43, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Anonymous anonymous has email enabled here. So you can email and ask. However, everything on Wikipedia is licensed under the GFDL by default, so you can also just copy the code so long as you attribute it. Hope that helps! --Keitei (talk) 23:52, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lord of the Flies Symbology

I'm not quite sure about the Dead Man on the hill's symbolism and Simon's encounter with it. (Chapter 9 - A View to a Death). What does the dead man symbolize? Does it symbolize Christ(Simon) foreseeing impending doom , lost hope, despair? Half-Blood Auror 15:17, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Have a look at Lord of the Flies, where you should find some answers to your question. I will give you a clue, though. The Dead Man is not a 'symbol' of anything. He is a pilot, mortally wounded in a nearby aerial combat, who dies after parachuting down to the island. It is there that his physical presence becomes a very real challenge to the fragile civilization set up by the boys, beset, as it is, by nameless horrors, which take shape in the notion of 'the Beastie'. For Sam and Eric, who discover the body, not bothering to look too closely, this is proof that the Beastie exists, and they carry news of their discovery-and their sense of panic-back to the rest of the camp. Before long rationality gives way to barbarism. It is only Simon who recognizes the destructive power of fear. Clio the Muse 16:57, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
