Dude why, why did you do this to me analaxle, why? It was a constructive edit!

Bear dog

I was editing Bear dog when you restored it. Noles1984 (talk) 22:49, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the problem is; I didn't alter your edits, just restored some pre-existing info that you had (I assume accidentally) deleted some 2 hours before. If you think the article needs editing further, be my guest. Anaxial (talk) 23:23, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

As a further comment, I have noticed a number of factual errors in the taxonomic ranking in some of your recently created articles, which I have now corrected. Hope you don't mind. Anaxial (talk) 23:39, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Some new gastropod articles!

Wow, thanks for the great new articles on the gastropod digestive system and respiratory system; what a pleasant surprise! These are really excellent additions to WikiProject Gastropods. I imagine you have a lot of other interests, but we would be honored if you would like to join us at the project, so here is an invitation:

I've noticed your edits on pages relating to Gastropods; perhaps you'd be interested in joining WikiProject Gastropods? If you would like more information, please visit the project page or the project talk page.

Best wishes to you, Invertzoo (talk) 15:24, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, I might put you on the "honorary members" list, or the "adjunct members" list or something, if you don't object. Best wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 00:02, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I also wanted to say one more thing, and please do forgive me if this is not relevant, but I don't have access to the (print) reference you are using, so I can't check for myself. I just wanted to say that all prose has to be re-written in your own words from scratch, not used directly or almost directly from the sources. Sometimes this is quite hard to do, and a lot of us do make the mistake of copying stuff verbatim or almost verbatim when we are first starting out on Misplaced Pages, not understanding that that is unacceptable. So, as I said, please forgive me if you already know this, but I guess it doesn't hurt to make policy really clear up front. All my very best wishes to you, Invertzoo (talk) 19:15, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind reply. Sorry to go on and on about the same topic, but the reason I am all over this idea is that in March we discovered a copyright problem from one editor in 1000 of our gastropod articles, which all had to have surgery as a result. It took 3 months to cut out all the unacceptable stuff, even without re-writing it.. So I just wanted to say that paraphrasing text can be a bit tricky, and it isn't enough when it is close paraphrasing. Quite often the info has to be read, understood, and then re-written from scratch. So there you go. Sorry once again if this communication is unnecessary. Very best wishes to you, Invertzoo (talk) 23:09, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

OK, thanks for listening to me rant and rave about this and for replying politely! All very best wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 18:47, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I like your cool "gastropod system" articles! I will be continuously looking for images to them. Is this my photo good? What is the name for these breathing structures? --Snek01 (talk) 12:00, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Quantum mysticism

First thank you for providing a third opinion. Based on comments at my talk page LikeBox has not changed his tune. Do you think its fair to initiate formal arbitration at this point?--OMCV (talk) 23:40, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Wow, I think OMCV is jumping the gun a bit. The owner of this talk page has not given a definitive third opinion yet, just asking some questions. By the way, I think that OMCV is sincere, but wrong. Excluding the Dennett example would make the article less informative in my opinion.Likebox (talk) 02:57, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Actually, I would consider my statement of 20:15 25th August to be definitive: "this does, in my view, constitute synthesis". You're free to disagree, of course, and 3O opinions are in no way binding. Should you wish to take this further, RFC is one option short of arbitration, which is usually the very last step in dispute resolution. Anaxial (talk) 12:22, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
