[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello Hypnosifl, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

You might like some of these links and tips:

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Wikipedia Boot Camp, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing! --Alf melmac 12:43, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] moving alternia.com to top of list in violation of #5 at Wikipedia:Spam#How_not_to_be_a_spammer

Please stop. If you continue spamming you will be blocked from editing. Hypnosifl 08:48, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

ok, sorry i forgot to read your 600,000 rules! i think sites should be classed by importance. my suggestion of course, but won't be followed i guess.--Petrovic-Njegos 17:10, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, alternatehistory.com clearly has more members than alternia.com anyway. Also, even if you wanted to move alternia.com to the top, that was no reason to delete Alison Bridge's site from the list. Hypnosifl 01:15, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Well anyways AH.com can be first, be Alternia is second. we're the second most powerful board not by number of members but by the constant activity. as for alison bridge id really like to know how many members they even have. and i doubt alison bridge can be considered alternate history even.--Petrovic-Njegos 14:08, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] process physics

Good edits to process physics today, thanks. Feel free to summon me on my talk page if someone disputes these or other helpful edits of yours and I'll be happy to assist (provided you are on the side of NPOV of course). — coelacan talk — 05:12, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Post scarcity

Hello. If you remove external links (which I have restored), please at least give an explanation. MadMaxDog 06:50, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

It was a different poster who removed that link, not me--see your talk page for more discussion. Hypnosifl 07:02, 8 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Section headings

Thank you Hypnosifl, I wasn't aware of the policy of capitalizing. I will use this in the future.

[edit] Negaduck

You know what? I don't have any definitive sources. Those Net reports are all I have. It must have stuck in my brain and lodged there as something more confirmable. *shakes my head* Feel free to alter it to something like "According to Internet reports, there were plans..." or whatever.

[edit] Alternate history fiction

I don't know if you noticed, but we're considering changing the article title back to "Alternate history (fiction)" -- if you want to argue against this change, please post your thoughts at Talk:Alternate history fiction#(fiction) Hypnosifl 15:09, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice, I'll respond there : ) - jc37 20:42, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Hedonistic Imperative

Wow, your kickin' Mnemopis's butt in the deletion debate. Way to make your case. Brentt 05:32, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Time Travel

Yeah, I did a blanket revert, and I was unsure whether or not to revert the presentist stuff. I'm somewhat unfamiliar with especially the recent developments in Presentism, but because there was some removal of content that I thought was good, and it was an anon ip, I decided to revert. I do like your resolution better though :D Thanks for your edit. McKay 06:53, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

You deleted my contribution as 'original research' however it is not research, just points out a fairly obvious logical flaw in the original argument that shows the whole thing as absurd. -- 74.98.142.235 01:39, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

This, however presumes only humans could have built one (ie: there is no such thing of extraterrestrial origin).
I disagree that your argument shows there is a "logical flaw" in using the fact that a time machine couldn't take you back further than the date it was created as a possible answer to the question of why we see no time travelers--as long as it's reasonably plausible that there might not be any intelligent alien civilizations in our past light cone, then that is enough to establish it as a possible explanation. Do you think we can say with a high level of confidence that there must be intelligent alien civilizations with advanced levels of technology in our past light cone? What about the Fermi paradox?
Also, please look at Wikipedia's policy on original research--"original research" covers any original arguments not found in published sources, not just "research" in the usual sense of the word. Even an editor's own synthesis of arguments published in different sources is excluded under the policy. Hypnosifl 09:33, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Re: the fermi paradox, who are the witnesses in this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsLj2ScRkFo&NR -- 74.98.142.235 04:25, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
To clarify, if any UFO ever turns out to be an alien spacecraft, then it is no longer plausible that there are no alien civilizations in our past light cone. Further, if time travel into the past can exist, then the arecibo message, which will arrive at Messier 13 in 25,000 years, could already have been acted upon by an advanced civilization there, assuming they can send a message far enough into their past, say on the order or 50,000..100,000 years, to notify their ancestors to come out here and check on us. If this stuff seems too absurd to consider, then what we need is low-cost equipment to perform observations of purported UFO sightings, such as a moving gravitational wave anomaly, to test claims made by Bob Lazar and friends. I favour turning pseudo-science into real science through education and accessibility -- 74.98.142.235 06:08, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
