- I added a couple thoughts at the discussion, please don't get discouraged but remember, Wikipedia is cooperative sometimes the best thing to do is move away from the person who is holding hard to any one issue and find something else to do ( there are always other things to do.)

- Thanks for your input. It's been unpleasant--but enlightening--to experience how editors here wrangle, but you're right that on a minor issue such as this, it's best to move on if no consensus is forthcoming. BTW, your comments don't appear on the discussion page as it now stands, but only in a previous edit. Bakesnobread (talk) 08:07, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah no problem, if you ever need anything, go ahead and ask me. I will do my best to help, or find someone that can. Sadads (talk) 11:00, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Your recent edits
[edit]
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 20:22, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
Regarding this edit: use a pipe ( | ) to format a wikilink so that different text shows up in the article than is required in the link. In this case, you wished to link to the article personal identity (philosophy), but usually one would not want the disambiguating term "philosophy" to show up in the article text, breaking the flow for the reader. To have it show only the text you want, add a pipe after the name of the article, and then the text you want after the pipe: [[personal identity (philosophy)|personal identity]]. The wikilink will then appear in the article like this: personal identity.
No need to fix this particular instance, I have done so already. I thought I'd let you know for your future use. Beyond My Ken (talk) 08:44, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
