User talk:A Doon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Microreactors Hi A Doon I have a design for a microreactor that may be of interest to you for commercial exploitation. If you are interested, please leave your contact details: if not, I will post the design of the reactor on the microreactor page for your scrutiny but this, of course, will create prior art.

Welcome, A Doon, to Wikipedia, the greatest encyclopedia on Earth! You seem to be off to a good start. Hopefully you will soon join the vast army of Wikipediholics! You may wish to review the welcome page, tutorial, and stylebook, as well as the avoiding common mistakes and Wikipedia is not pages. The Wikipedia directory is also quite useful.

By the way, an important tip: To sign comments on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automagically add your name and the time after your comments.

To basically understand the principles and rules governing Wikipedia, you should take a look the Five Pillars that underlie all rules here.

Finally, here are some jobs that you can work on in your spare time:

Here are some tasks you can do:

Hope to see you around the Wiki! And if you have any questions whatsoever, or would just like to drop me a note, feel free to contact me on my talk page!

[edit] Transactional Analysis

Hey there! I'm just trying to clarify Transactional analysis, as you suggested. However, it's generally best to either (ideally) make chages yourself, or if you're not able to, to make the point on the article talk page: in this case Talk:Transactional analysis. Otherwise we end up with conversations in the articles, which doesn't look like an encyclopedia. The Land 16:02, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi again! There is no REPLY button: to respond to a message, you edit the Talk page. It's that simple! You can use :, * or even # to indent, bullet or number text, which helps a lot with threading the discussion. The system takes a bit of getting used to, but once that's done it's easy.
To set up a disambiguation page, I'd suggest:
  • edit the top of the current page with links to the forks you want to create. (Links, as you :may have spotted, are formatted [[link]].) The links will show as red, since there are no pages at the other end
  • Then click 'edit' on the current page and copy all of the wikitext to your clipboard.
  • Click back to the article, and click through to the page that you think should have the content of the current article, edit it, and paste the content
  • Click back to the original article, and click through to the other fork, and enter some content for it.
  • Click back to the original article, edit it removing the text you copied away, and add the {{disambig}} template at the bottom.

Then you're done. Yes, there's a lot of clicking involved, but it's worth it. More details at Wikipedia:Disambiguation

Oh, and by the way: leaving messages on a talk page doesn't send an email (though I, like many people, have an email address set). The Land 10:38, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] comments

Do not edit other people's comments, even for grammar. It is aggressively frowned upon. — goethean ॐ 22:38, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

My comment was intended to be a piece of advice. If you'd rather learn the hard way, it shouldn't take very long. — goethean ॐ 14:25, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hello ADoon

goethan need not make such comments. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 this last one is important because goethan reverted out the work of A. H. Armstrong a PRE EMINENT scholar and famed translator of Plotinus note- for Harvard. goethan refers to A H Armstrong's quotes as "incoherent". goethan started a revert war to force original research onto Plotinus. If you wish to stop him from stalking your edits (yes he did this to me) please report him to user:MONGO. Also checkout this example of goethan's act of good faith tisk. goethan reverted my contributions from Plotinus and refused to even listen to reason. All the while not once himself quoting or confirming a single neoplatonic source. Look at the article where he reverted out the completely verifiable statement "Plotinus never mentions christians in any of his works". Which was really the truth the whole time, he and his buddies where insistent on stating otherwise. Good luck -report him. LoveMonkey 04:58, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

FYI...A. H. Armstrong died in 1997. It was your work that I reverted. — goethean ॐ 14:28, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Non-sense I posted his introduction to Ennead 2 tract 9. You goethan reverted it as incoherent and then as unsourced. Word for word. Note that Zeusnooes told you what it was. How many more people have to point this out to you? Do you really know anything about Neoplatonicism goethan or are just another browbeater supporting others original research which supports your agenda? No I can't say I expect you to do anything but dodge and ridicule not answer up to the obvious truth. LoveMonkey 16:55, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

As for you ADOON good luck not everyone here on wikipedia is like goethan. You now have a way to keep his rule quoting and then rule breaking hypocritical behaviour in check. God bless welcome and Good luck. Happy editing! LoveMonkey 16:55, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

goethean is a blight on the land with his agenda and hypocrisy in his edits on political article Peter Roskam and Tammy Duckworth. Try and try and Goethean and his buddies have bullied their agenda, irrespective of any opinions rule or logic. Their way or high way. Take a look on the discussions page for Roskam and Duckworth and see. This person is almost single handedly, is destroying Wikipedia.

Consider this, do you thing for, one moment, that the subjects of Goethean's and friends fine editing, unhappy with lack of NPOV and won't try to get the law change and have wikipedia shut down or at the very lest launch a legal action?

Goethean and friends are playing fast and lose with the rules and some very powerful people may not like the unfair treatment and these people may have the ways and means to stop it. This is just my humble observation with Wikipedia and my dealings with the hard working Goethean that he and his friends care little except for their agenda.207.67.145.250 21:23, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
