Editing

No problem, glad to help. You do not have to wait for an administrator or anyone to give you permission to edit an article. For large changes or potentially controversial changes, however, it's always a good idea to post first at the article's talk page. Nonetheless, you require no one's permission to edit :) · j e r s y k o talk · 20:20, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can view it on mine, and the edit is still in the article history. Perhaps the browser cache merely needs to be cleaned on the problem computers. · j e r s y k o talk · 13:54, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi im Doriantrue (talk) 14:27, 4 November 2011 (UTC)doriantrueDoriantrue (talk) 14:27, 4 November 2011 (UTC) and I’ve just written my first wikipedia article as a project for my English class and I was wondering if you had any advice on how I could improve the look? Thanks! The page is Curtis Baptist High School.[reply]

Of course it would be fine for you to expand the Sendai virus page. In fact, I encourage you to expand it! Anything you can do to help us expand our encyclopedia would be helpful, being mindful of our policies and guidelines of course. I don't know enough about the topic to say whether an article on "Sendai disease" separate from Sendai virus would be a good idea. If you have knowledge of the topic, and you believe the "virus" and "disease" articles should be separate, then go ahead and write the second article too. The worst that would probably happen is for someone else to come along and merge the two articles into one or the other. Happy editing and writing! · j e r s y k o talk · 20:53, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It looks good, nice work! You could try to solicit suggestions for improvement or opinions at the talk page for Wikiproject:Medicine. Good luck. · jersyko talk 23:57, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Photograph

I took care of the Sendai-facilitated_erythrocyte_fusion image for you. If you get permission from the maker of the photograph to release it in the GFDL without the non-commercial restriction, feel free to re-upload it as such. · jersyko talk 13:52, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sendai

First off, nice job on the expansion of that article. Adding the template to the talk page adds it to a number of categories related to the vet med wikiproject, so it's now on our radar. I also added it to a list of vet med articles (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Veterinary medicine/Articles, under viruses). If there is something specific you wanted to bring up about the article, you can do it at the project talk page. Honestly though, we only started this project a few weeks ago, and we are still in the organizational stages. I'm trying to assess, clean up, and expand the most desperate articles to start. Sendai virus is looking good, so it may be a while before I make an attempt at further expansion of that article. I did take a look around for any available public domain images, but no luck. --Joelmills 00:32, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An Invitation

Hi EarthRise33,

Thanks for helping with Japan-related articles on Wikipedia, such as Japanese people. Here's an invitation to visit Wikipedia:WikiProject Japan. There, you can meet other Wikipedians working on articles related to Japan. You'll find lists of new articles, projects, and links to resources such as



Hope to see you there!

Best regards,

Monsters and spaghetti.

Hi. Your comments on Talk:Flying Spaghetti Monster (specifically, this one) suggest that you are not entirely clear on the definition of reductio ad absurdum. Reductio involves assuming what you aim to refute for the sake of argument and deriving via formal logic something contradictory or otherwise impossible given the premises. FSM is satire and involves replacing names here and there to make the argument sound silly. Reductio ad absurdum does not simply mean "making something sound absurd" - its other name "proof by contradiction" is perhaps more descriptive. At the very, very least you will require a source per WP:V. – Steel 21:54, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's all very nice but you haven't really advanced any ground in explaining how FSM is a proof by contradiction. Example, "Henderson said that, like God, the FSM created the fossils, earth strata, mid-route light from stars, carbon-dating readings, etc. to point out the baseless statements made by creationist opponents." - yes, I agree, but this has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
Regardless, this is veering into original research territory. Please provide a source for this disputed statement as per Wikipedia:Verifiability. Thank you. – Steel 14:15, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Various points:
  1. Find. A. Source. If FSM being a proof by contradiction is so apparent as you maintain finding an authoratative source should be easy. I am honestly puzzled why you haven't simply tried this already.
  2. "Original research is not so original when the conclusion is apparent". Fair enough. Unfortunately, you cannot justify the addition of information disputed by multiple people without a source just because it seems apparent to you.
  3. Discussing on the talk page is not a prerequisite to editing Wikipedia, particularly as, in this case, there has been no previous discussion save for this very short thread. I have discussed everything with the only dissenter (you).
  4. No-one is going to be banned and petty threats will get this dispute nowhere. Since we're on a related topic, I remind you not to appeal to force.
I'll crosspost our discussions to the talk page. – Steel 17:43, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE: my talk

Don't worry about it, we all act like that from time to time. No hard feelings. – Steel 01:26, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Just dropped in to say that I very much appreciated your approach to our discussion over at FSM. Warmest regards, sNkrSnee | t.p. 22:09, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
