I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (~~~) for just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome!

Adding comments in articles

Please don't add comments within an article like you did in the X86 calling conventions article. If something in the article is wrong, just fix it. If you're not sure of something, you can post those kinds of comments on the talk page for the article. Thanks --MrBoo (talk, contribs) 18:47, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Hugo Award for Best Novel

Those were the rankings for runners-up: 2nd place, 3rd place, etc. (when the data was available). --Orange Mike | Talk 13:29, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

I never used the term "vandal" or anything even remotely like it; I stated that I was reverting the "removal" of this information. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:07, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

The computer numbering nightmare

Please take a look at WP:COMPUNITS. The current consensus is the the KiB, MiB, GiB units are not to be used. Please work to get the consensus changed before you make further changes to articles. The last time this happened, we ended up with edit wars, protected pages, and blocked users.

I am basically neutral on this subject, but I am getting vey tired of changing articles back and forth as the consensus changes. So far, Itanium has changed twice. Please look at its talk page.

Thanks. -Arch dude (talk) 19:09, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Note Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)/Archive B16 is the sixteenth (and most recent) archive page on this controversy -Arch dude (talk) 19:16, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Your 'minor' edit to 'ephemeris time'

It would be appreciated if you would bear it mind that a 'dubious' tag is something that raises controversy, and so it can't possibly be a minor edit. It would also be appreciated if you would not use the 'm' designation for edits that are not minor. (You could have put in a 'citation needed' tag if you hadn't noticed the references -- but they were already there, connected with an inline number further up the article.)

New Rational Skepticism WikiProject member asking for look at Theosophy entry

Since you are an active participant in the Rational Skepticism WikiProject, would you mind looking over the Wikipedia entry on Theosophy to see if you find any concerns?

I've been ordered to fix the page so that it accords with my understanding of the NPOV policy. I'm happy to do that but I have a lot of work at my job.

Now I've been told that I must make the changes by April 30th or the NPOV tag will be removed. I simply can't learn how to use Wikipedia as a newcomer, become familiar with all the sources, and make the edits if I must do it all by April 30th.

Would you look over the Theosophy page? Also, can you recommend anything? Thanks much,Factseducado (talk) 15:20, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
