Talk:Freetekno

message: Okay, I know there's a ton of problems with this article, but I don't think anybody's actually raised the point that the article itself is... absolute garbage. Technically speaking, of course. Really, the language of this article is actually offensively stupid. Every single, last word is tainted with a really painful positive slant; see: "The atmosphere is friendly and the party goers police themselves. Racism, sexism and aggression are not tolerated. The freetekno party is a good example of a Temporary Autonomous Zone." "There is no central organizing body for freetekno sound systems or parties. It is not a specific group of people, but rather a way of living and partying that ties together diverse individuals. Sound systems start up between friends. Trust and respect are key elements of the scene." "Freeteknitians come from a wide variety of backgrounds. They have diverse political and religious beliefs and economic resources. Some generalities can be observed: Freeteknitians are often socialists."
Seriously. I don't know what the hell the clown who wrote this was thinking, but I don't want this on my Wikipedia. I don't know anything about this subject ("Freetekno?"), a.k.a., I have a totally valid excuse to be lazy and not fix this myself. Just trying to raise the point here.
Hope somebody who's a part of this shit and also isn't a complete moron can turn this into a presentable, Wikipedia-worthy article. Thanks!

thread_title:  tidying up 

message: Yup. Mostly that it's not in any way a unique, nor original, nor new thing. It's just another name for music that was first produced almost 25 years ago.
I really can't believe that I try to put up $h1t on Wikipissia about small but awesome record labels doing _new_ things, but those get killed. Meanwhile, this same old crap, just a "new name" stuff lingers.
"Those who do not know history, are doomed to repeat it." -- Winston Churchill, quoting someone else.
My vote, which is worthless? Kill this entirely. If I can't get a small label that's put out 250+ ambient drone CDs in the last 20 years on Wikipoopia, then no way this should have an entry. 208.151.246.192 (talk) 04:08, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I have added an Illegalparty template and included free party, teknival and Freetekno.  If you want to edit it then go to Template:Illegalparty, I have added an image to the template but I'm not sure if it should be there as it is the same as the image on Freetekno.  I have also removed the cleanup tag as nobody seems to know why it is still here.  It would be good if someone from Canada and parts of Europe where the term is used could and information of laws in those countries. Rex the first 14:16, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  organising tekno links 

message: I've updated and reorganized the article a little bit. Could you please review it, specifically the spirit (rename maybe?) section?
I've also reorganized and updated the links, splitting north american into Canada and USA.
Could we see some more information on history? I'd like to see subheadings under history: Origins, Police, Current Incarnations, etc. 
As well, the freetekno wikicity is somewhat obsolete, we've bought our own server and are now hosting a tikiwiki at http://free23.net Come check us out :) Bennyp 01:52, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Updates 

message: As the main Freetekno page is getting a bit large, I propose we form a new page called Freetekno Soundsystem which would describe the composition and purpose of a freetek Soundsystem, and also contain the how to guide. Bennyp 23:21, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Did you see Sound system (DJ)? im not sure if its quite the same but the two may overlap quite a bit ... Mujinga 17:03, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposal for new page: Freetekno Soundsystem 

message: keep track of Freeteknostubs here, when we get enough, we can propose our own stub type Bennyp 23:27, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: cool! im not sure what a stub type is but i think we are kinda busy with the same projects, you over there and me over here! im interested in creating a useful history of the tekno subculture but i am a bit worried about creating pages for current sound systems, it might invite unneeded attention, we already discussed it a bit at List of free party sound systems.

thread_title:  Freetekno stubs 

message: I created the Template:Freetekno_Soundsystems. Add your local systems today :) 
Does anyone have a public domain or CC speaker box icon we could use in our templates?
