[edit] Need sample games

Need to add sample games or screen shots. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chalko (talk • contribs) 09:09, 29 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Declaration of interest

I am new to Wikipedia, and my first impressions are that you folks don't take yourselves too seriously -- but then again, there is a month's worth of reading in the Policies and Guidelines and discussions thereof. So I am going to play conservatively and follow the advice on the COI page and, declare myself an interested party. Then I am going to follow Robinh's advice and "Be Bold." Then you folks can do whatever you want with what I write; as I understand things, once I post stuff here, it is not mine anymore.

I am an interested party because I am a longtime friend of the inventor of Quantum Tic Tac Toe. He first showed me the game a couple of days after it came to him, in January 2000. I have no financial interest in the game, just a personal one. However, I am probably one of the most knowledgeable people you will find aside from the inventor.

Other sources of information: The rules seem to say that I cannot provide such, but I will risk telling you that there are a number of published papers by the inventor that use the game as an illustration of some facet of quantum mechanics, and that there is a web site devoted to the game. You and Google can take it from there.

If it is acceptable to you folks for me to edit the article itself, let me know. It would certainly be more convenient than restricting myself to the talk page. Thank you.

(Two minutes later) ACK! OK, so how long does one stay logged in to Wikipedia, once one logs in? The above declaration is by me, but the system logged me out during the period I was composing it and perusing the Conflict of Interest page (and its talk page). Sorry, apologies, mea culpa. --Swwright 00:03, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

• Go for it. Be Bold. We will all act in good faith, and the world or at least wikipedia will be a better place --Chalko 07:16, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

• • Hey, wait a minute, what am I apologizing for? Users should never apologize for the software's shortcomings! At the very least, when I click Save page, I should be warned that I was logged out behind my back. OK, enough, there's doubtless a better place for this gripe -- yes, there is (Wikipedia talk:How to log in), and this has been complained about for at least three years. There is a way to fix the problem after the anonymous edit is recorded; see Wikipedia:Changing attribution for an edit:

    "While still logged out, revert to the version in the history immediately before the edit. Then log in and re-revert to the version after the edit, re-entering your original edit summary."

    When one logs in, one will so remain for thirty minutes according to someone on the login talk page. One can sidestep this feature by enabling "Remember my login on this computer" on one's preferences page (a small security risk; Wikipedia does not record one's password in a cookie, but rather a user ID). --Swwright 22:40, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comment

This was in 'The Rules'. I guess it should be here:

"(I'm new to Wikipedia. Before investing more effort in this page, is this going in the right direction? Comments and suggestions are solicited. If positive, I'll finish the page over the next few weeks. If negative, I'll try another approach. To whomever responds, thanks for your help.)
