[edit] Contribtions header on your page
I added a "contributions" section to the article about you, partly because I was surprised at the vehemence in the criticism section, and partly because I felt the article very unbalanced as it was. Since I'm not an expert on you :) I'd appreciate if you could look over this (admittably short) section for errors or omissions. Mikademus 11:28, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Welcome
Hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. Be bold in editing pages. Here are some links that you might find useful:
- Try the Tutorial. If you have less time, try Wikipedia:How to edit a page.
- To sign your posts (on talk pages, Articles for deletion page etc.) use ~~~~ (four tildes). This will insert your name and timestamp. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes).
- You can experiment in the test area.
- You can get help at the Help Desk
- Some other pages that will help you know more about Wikipedia: Manual of Style and Wikipedia:Five pillars, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Civility, Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, Wikipedia:How to write a great article
Please use edit summaries and "Show Preview" button more often. btw, I am a great fan of "The Cathedral and the Bazaar." You also seem to be having another user account, User:Eric S. Raymond. If that account indeed belongs to you, you may want to mention that fact on your user page so that it does not confuse people. Welcome!! --Gurubrahma 11:21, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Your AMA Request
I am willing to assist you in your dispute with User:KennyLucius. I will spend the rest of today (except for a few hours while I'm away at a family gathering) looking in to the history of this and then get back to you.
There is one thing I need to know, though--do any of the changes you made to the articles in question reflect any ideas presented in your essays? If so, you may be in violation of WP:NOR, which makes presenting and defending your case a bit more difficult. It might also help if you could provide me with links to these essays so I can take a look at them and judge for myself. Thanks! Kurt Weber 17:08, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
Please let me know if you are still interested in pursuing the issue. I realize it may be rather stale by now, so I'm just checking. Kurt Weber 00:44, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
