I see you just put a NPOV tag on the ] article. Why did you do that?

:I saw your comment on my talk page where you say the tag only says it's disputed, not that it's not NPOV... That doesn't make sense. Every article in this encyclopedia is going to be disputed by someone. The tag is only for those items that cannot be resolved. A couple of editors have tried to resovlve it, I don't think most of us have a problem with it, but OF COURSE the person who is on a revenge crusade against the woman is going to be upset if we remove the highly biased information he added.

If you look at my list of factual, detailed individuals who qualify as true "Irish-Scots", you will see that the only reason my edits are not being accepted is because the true list contains unsavoury characters that the author of this page, Camillus McIlhenney, chose not to include for reasons you will need to ask him for, as I can but conjecture.

==In sum==
In sum, I would request that you at least review the differences between my version and that of Mr. McIlhenney and/or his associates (Demiurge, Ali-oops, etc.)

I believe that the truth should out, particularly regarding the list of true Irish-Scots (which in Mr. McIlhenney's version is pure Hollywood).

I have my own connections to the Emerald Isle, however different they and my own ideas have diverged from Mr. McIlhenney. I am many years older than Camillus and I know more than he cares to give me credit for.

Thank You.

== Marijuana Wiki ==

Hi there,

I see that you are a pro-Cannabis Wikipedian so I hope this will be of some interest to you.

I've started a Marijuana wiki (aka The Sticky Wiki) which I think you might be interested in. I'm hoping you can help me get started with this project. Whereas lots of articles about weed get speedy-deleted on Misplaced Pages, they would be totally cool over at MarijuanaWiki. But really I want the site to be more of a marijuana community than merely an encyclopedia.

To give you an example, I want to have city guides about where to score, find pot-friendly cafes, marijuana events, and what represents a good price in that city. Etc. (You can check out the featured article: "Toronto" to see what I mean). Of course, I want to see articles about the negative health effects and the drug laws in each of the countries. I also want to have grow diaries and marijuana blogs. All in all, basically more communal than encyclopedic.

I am in need of admins/moderators, and people experienced with MediaWiki to help build policy, categories, and templates, etc. If you'd be interested in helping me with this project, the URL is

'''Advantages of MWI'''


Thank you. <!-- Template:Di-orphaned fair use-notice --> ] (]) 05:32, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
If Hugh Everett's theory was just another interpretation of Quantum Mechanics it would have no followers, especially since it proposes the existence of countless other universes which theoretically can never be observed. Because it is not falsifiable it seemingly violates Popper's criteria for a good scientific theory. The reason it has so many adherents is because it offers numerous advantages over the Copenhagen Interpretation, among which are the following:

1. Quantum mechanics becomes a deterministic theory making it more compatible with the theory of relativity and all other physics theory to date which are all deterministic. The Copenhagen Interpretation introduced indeterminacy and randomness into science. Aside from the Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics there is no scientific theory that includes indeterminacy or randomness. Einstein particularly objected to this aspect of the Copenhagen Interpretation. In response to it, he said, "God does not play dice with the universe."

2. It eliminates the "measurement problem."


* I am a ], and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
3. It eliminates Von Neumann's "boundary problem": where to draw the line between the micro world where quantum mechanics applies, and the macro world where it does not. Shortly before his death in 1953, Albert Einstein wrote: "Like the moon has a definite position whether or not we look at the moon, the same must also hold for the atomic objects, as there is no sharp distinction possible between these and macroscopic objects."

5. It restores objective reality of the universe between measurements.

6. The wave-particle duality paradox evaporates. It simply and naturally explains the double-slit experiment. Richard Feynman said, " has in it the heart of quantum mechanics.

It seems Einstein's main objections with quantum mechanics had more to do with the Copenhagen Interpretation, than with quantum mechanics itself. While MWI does not quite generate the kinds of worlds necessary to justify the anthropic principle, it is a step on the way to Stephen Hawking's No Boundary Proposal and Max Tegmark's All Universe Hypothesis which do justify the anthropic principle.

IRISH-SCOTS

Dear Sir:

Re the Irish-Scots page, I had made reverts because it has been sanitized and contains inaccuracies.

For instance:

Notable Irish-Scots include James Connolly and comedian Billy Connolly.

This is untrue: Sean Connery does not consider himself Irish, and James Connolly did not consider himself a Scot.

--Actually Sean Connerys grandfather came from Wexford and was an itinerant (irish tinker/traveler/pikey etc) who moved to scotland to find work and settled down there.--- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.94.177.144 (talk) 21:32, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

If you look at my list of factual, detailed individuals who qualify as true "Irish-Scots", you will see that the only reason my edits are not being accepted is because the true list contains unsavoury characters that the author of this page, Camillus McIlhenney, chose not to include for reasons you will need to ask him for, as I can but conjecture.

Historical note

The following version is mostly accurate but I added certain facts that were not included, including the origination of the word "Scot" (what it really means in what language). I also include the fact that the word Caledonia is often used/sung by "Scottish" nationalists to describe their homeland.

Answer: It means "thief" or "raider" in Irish, a fact that Mr. McIlhenney, again chose not to mention, as he chose not to include the word Caledonia, which he has told me is obsolete (1st century B.C. and devoid of any importance at all, although the same is not true of "Hibernia", which dates from the same time).

(From current edit which I do not dispute: Around the 5th-6th centuries, the original "Scoti" were people from Ireland who colonized the north of Britain, which was populated by Picti or Picts. The Picts themselves were known to some as "old-Irish", so there is a possibility that they themselves came from Ireland. Ireland was the original Scotland (Scotia), and the Irish the original Scats (Scoti), country and people being known to Roman and medieval Europe under those names. Scotland, serving for centuries as an Irish colony, was known as Lesser or New Scotland (Scotia Minor or Nova), the adjectives only being dropped about the 13th century, when Ireland had come into its present name. The Latin word for Irishman was Scotus. In Gaelic Scotch and Irish are known simply as Gaels of Albin and Gaels of Erin...)

IRISH-SCOTS PAGE

So at the risk of appearing foolish, I very seriously would like to clarify your point and understand its implications as you have laid them out in your brief email to me. Believe me, I am not trying to annoy you, and get a powerful enemy on Misplaced Pages:

  • I cannot change anyone else's edits to a page 3 or more times in a 24 hour period, and, allegedly, no one can do that to my edits.
  • However, if I add non politically-correct information (even sourced/cited information) that has the result of changing the net overall balance of a WikiPage into validating or backing up my point of view, it cannot stand if anyone complains, and will be regarded as vandalism.

Is this correct?

Thank you for your time.

Your VandalProof Application

Dear Xxpor,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact with the new 1.2 version release it has even more power. As such we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that that you don't have enough edits in the main namespace yet. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again in the not too distant future. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof.
