Revision as of 21:05, 20 July 2005
Welcome!
Hi NicholasTurnbull, and a warm welcome to Misplaced Pages! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Misplaced Pages? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!
- Editing tutorial, learn to have fun with Misplaced Pages.
- Picture tutorial, instructions on uploading images.
- How to write a great article, to make it an featured article status.
- Manual of Style, how articles should be written.
Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :
Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

It's okay. I was just pissed off at having spoilers distributed in such an unexpected venue. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 17:01, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
My reply to your comments on Talk:David S. Touretzky
AI, speaking as a Computer Science student, a supercomputer that documented every single piece of data across the Internet would be a near impossibility considering the huge volume of data transfer on the Internet compared with the finite amounts of available data storage.
"Religious Freedom Watch" fails to substantiate its claims with adequate referencing to the appropriate documentation or any other form of evidentiary support and is consequently of doubtful veracity. As such, Religious Freedom Watch cannot be considered to be an adequate reference source for claims made on Misplaced Pages. Please see Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view and Misplaced Pages:Cite sources for more information on this.
IRC logs are not acceptable as a quotable source and you have not provided third-party evidentiary support that the IRC conversation you describe took place; also, even if the IRC logs could be authenticated as being stated by Prof. Touretzky's username or originating from his computer system, it is trivial to masquerade as another user on IRC and even a verifiable log of such an exchange would prove nothing. Consequently, there is no doubt in my mind that your attribution of comments is spurious and are nothing but groundless attacks on Prof. Touretzky's name; please see Misplaced Pages:No personal attacks for the official Misplaced Pages policy on the matter.
Can I please ask you to try to maintain a neutral point of view in future when writing articles, and not to use spurious reference sources when writing articles about individuals? (This reply is also posted on Talk:David S. Touretzky) --NicholasTurnbull 19:53, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
- Thank you for the tips, but I will not abide by your suggestions. I am entitled to my POV and it is up to opposing POV's and outside views to ensure NPOV. If you are going to bite other newcomers, don't bother trying to hide your POV stained false teeth or pretend to flash shiny, false gold and false jewel encrusted POV teeth. My current understanding of policy based on my recent education by civil admins is that your scrutiny of me in an article's talk page is a violation of Misplaced Pages policy. --AI 01:12, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
- Dear AI,
- Thank you for responding to my comments. I am sorry, but NPOV applies to everyone, and it is up to you to make sure your edits conform to this policy - not other contributors. You can validate this for yourself by reading Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view for more information on this matter; you can see for yourself that it is clearly stated on that page. You may also be interested in reading Misplaced Pages:NPOV tutorial, which provides an informative guide to implementing NPOV in your articles.
- Secondly, would you please be so kind as to tell me which policy you are referring to regarding my comments to you on an articles talk page? I am unable to find it on Misplaced Pages:Policies and guidelines, and I have discussed the matter with a number of senior admins who are not aware of such a policy.
- Also, I don't understand what POV of mine you are referring to - I have absolutely no point of view as goes Prof. Touretzky's personality, and I was making my judgements on the basis of sources that you cited, not the matter of judging Prof. Touretzky's character. I also invite you to go through Special:Contributions/NicholasTurnbull to find evidence of POV in any of my edits.
- In addition, I am sorry if what I said to you could be construed as "biting" you; that was most certainly not my intention. Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages.
- Best regards,
- I disagree with your presentation. If you disagree with my actions, then file an RfC. Further messages from you about this will be ignored. --AI 10:34, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
This will teach you!

Personal comments
I removed your personal comments from the David S. Touretzky talk page according to Misplaced Pages policy. Reverting my change restores the personal remarks and count as another violation of Misplaced Pages policy on personal attacks. Your edit summary states ..."and word-clear". This is another personal attack, telling me to word clear implies that I have misunderstood the words in the policy you mention. Personal comments and remarks have no place on article talk pages and technically qualify as personal attacks. --AI 21:05, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
