[edit] Suggested Header

In writing the header, I was deliberately attempting to shift the focus of the article away from attempts to prove or disprove that we are living in a simulation, and onto documenting the material written on Simulated Reality. Do you agree with this, have I achieved this, and if not, what should it say?

[edit] Suggested Structure

I have tried to move completely away from the currently existing framework, as this places the arguments at the centre and misses all the important academic, quasi-academic and popular material related to the subject. I think that it is entirely legitimate in an article such as this to place exemplars from science fiction alongside material from academic papers, if this documents current thinking.

What is not legitimate is to use science fiction plots and wild 'original' ideas as evidence for particular arguments. If there is an argument, it must have been proposed by someone; we give their argument, and their evidence for it (if appropriate), not ours.

If you think the structure can be improved, please make suggestions.

[edit] Simulated reality

Hello there, I have reverted some of your edits in the above article. Although I appreciate that you are trying to clean it up, commentary should not be added to articles themselves, but rather to the talk page or people might start adding "This paragraph makes no sense." "This argument is contradictory." etc. to article main pages, which is not how an encyclopaedia should look. If you want to be bold, why not either rewrite the thing (piece by piece) or delete the bits you don't like (with an explanation) and see what happens? Mmoneypenny 08:07, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reverted Edit

No problem. Unless I'm mistaken, you deleted an entire section of information. It's 3am for me now, and I am decently tired, so if I did accidentally revert when I should not have, please let me know and accept my apologies. Jmlk17 08:57, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Word...my apologies Tony. Jmlk17 09:00, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Accusations of vandalism

Hi Tony, sorry for the late reply but I have been on a wikibreak. I would think each ISP does things differently so you are best trying to contact them to find out what the situation is regarding this, hopefully they should be able to tell you more. The editors at Wikipedia:Reference desk/Computing might also be able to help you further. Hope that helps, mattbr 11:51, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:ChurchBuilderExample1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:ChurchBuilderExample1.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 23:58, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
