Welcome!

I understand that it is generally bad form to create a link to a blog. Is that Wikipedia policy? I had created a link to a blog in the article on Kyle XY, but it was deleted. I want to advise Wikipedia that there were in fact a lot of hits to the link--about 8 per day. So there was reader interest in the link. Can I reinstate the link?(~~~~);

[edit] Waterlase -- Dentistry

You need to add material on the waterlase machine in the article on dentistry. The Waterlase is a laser technology that replaces the dentist's drill and is enjoying increasing popularity. It offers painless procedures on hard and soft tissue.

WHAT IS WATERLASE TECHNOLOGY?

Waterlase uses the Hydrokinetic process which gently washes away decay with YSGG laser-energized water droplets. Hydrokinetic energy is produced by combining a spray of atomized water with laser energy. The resulting Waterlase (HydroKinetic) energy gently and precisely removes a wide range of human tissue including tooth enamel (the hardest substance in the body), and soft tissue (gum tissue) with no heat or discomfort in most cases.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE WATERLASE?

Heat and vibration are the causes of most of the discomfort associated with the drill. Since Hydrokinetic cutting does not transmit heat or vibration, MANY DENTAL PROCEDURES CAN BE PERFORMED WITHOUT ANESTHESIA, IN MOST CASES.

The laser's pinpoint accuracy is precise enough that your dentist can leave in place as much healthy tooth structure as possible, allowing you to keep your own teeth longer.

Gently performs numerous soft tissue (gums) procedures with little or no bleeding. The laser gives your dentist a new high-tech tool for many procedures that previously required referral to a specialist. Now you can have them performed during your scheduled appointment and feel better afterwards!

The Waterlase prepares your teeth in a way that maximizes the bonding of tooth colored fillings, allowing them to last longer. (~~~~)

[edit] Gary Freedman - nom for deletion

It is proposed that your artice, Gary freedman, be deleted, as there is no reference given as to why he is someone who is included in an encyclopaedia. Also, it is generally considered bad form to author an article on yourself.--File Éireann 21:28, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I have started a process in motion in which votes will be taken over the coming week as to the suitiability of your article for this encyclopaedia. You are free to comment on the relevant talk page. It may be that you can show by editing the article how it is notable. See Wikipedia:notability. Good luck, and thanks for contributing to the 'pedia!--File Éireann 21:40, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Do not pose as other users

Don't pose as other users like you did here[1]. Yanksox ^(talk) 21:47, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't think you should assume that Mr Freedman is necessarily posing as someone else. Don't forget he is a lawyer. We can all read his signature on history. Remember to assume good faith. --File Éireann 21:52, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

The statement is written in the third person. I will assume good faith, though and apologize. Yanksox ^(talk) 22:00, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maybe I should clarify

Here are some helpful links to explain how Wikipedia really decides between notability and the non-notability: WP:NOT, WP:BIO, WP:AUTO. If you do need anything, please leave a message on my talk page. Thanks! Yanksox ^(talk) 22:27, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

About this comment, "The Central High School of Philadelphia is a Wikipedia entry and should have a link." Yes, it actually does have a link and yes, you have a point ciatations should be asked for. I actually added the page to my watchlist, thanks! It is really a tough call, Mr. Freedman, but it sort of makes sense if you read this. If you need anything, you know who to call. Yanksox ^(talk) 22:58, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I really, really, really think you need to read WP:AUTO and WP:BIO. Yanksox ^(talk) 17:51, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your article

It's better, but I think notability, isn't there still. Yanksox ^(talk) 16:16, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Yanksox, If I write an article on Melitzah should it go in Wiktionary or Wikipedia? Any ideas?

user: Gary Freedman--Garyfreedman 16:57, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Um, well, I guess it could go in both. It just depends on how you right the article. Yanksox ^(talk) 17:20, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for bearing with me. I revised the entry again to state expressly that the blog is a "notable modern example of the medieval Hebrew literary device known as melitzah." The blog is notable not because it is well known, it is notable as one of the few axamples of an existing literary device.--Garyfreedman 18:49, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

I submitted a second entry specifically on the term melitzah. Perhaps it is more appropriate than the "Gary Freedman" article.--Garyfreedman 15:42, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Yanksox and the other editors: Thanks for your patience with me. I knew I had a worthwhile idea lurking somewhere in the article "Gary Freedman." Thanks again.--Garyfreedman 17:43, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
