John Gillespie McGee edits

Hi, I guess you're new to Wikipedia. You don't need to add the four tildes (~ x4) to the edit text you add to an article: this makes your name appear in the text of the article. Your name and the time is automatically recorded in the edit history of the page (see the history' tab at the top of the page). I've removed the two occurrences of your name from the article, and also some of the information about the TV idents - it is not relevant to John Gillespie McGee whether these were produced in association with the US Government! Remember the article should just contain material that directly relates to him and his work. But otherwise - thansk for your contributions. 86.134.30.186 07:48, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

American biased edits

Hi Chris, I reverted your religious edits and insertion of biblical passages to the Microchip implant (human) article. Please stop adding this material to that article as it is most inappropriate as it represents unsourced original research. I also had a quick look at your other edits and they left me rather concerned that you have a mistaken understanding of the purpose of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is an international project to build a neutral, sourced, international encyclopedia. Your contributions should be sourced to reliable sources such as newspaper and journal articles, books, etc. We don't accept editorial comments, opinions or original research (so your edits should not be written from an "us", "we", "our" perspective) and contributions need to be written from a neutral point of view. Adding "Eventually our adversaries picked up on this technology" to the History of the Internet article is not acceptable as it is dripping with point of view and opinion - there's no "we" here, this is not an American point of view encyclopedia but one written for and by people all over the world. Similarly your edit to ARPANET spoke of "the same technology we used". I can see that you have good intentions here, though, and you're most welcome to join us in building this encyclopedia but please be careful that your edits comply with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, which you will find linked to in the welcome message at the top of this page. Most importantly, please be careful to ensure your edits are of a neutral point of view and not American-centric and that they are sourced to reliable, published and verifiable sources. Regards, Sarah 03:15, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

I ought to know better. Studied sociology and here I am being ethnocentric.

Microchip implant

As Sarah told you, Wikipedia articles must be based on published sources, not your own ideas. I need to warn you at this point that if you continue to insert this material without being able to give sources for it, I will have to ask for your account to be blocked.

     The human microchip implant looks like a mark. If I was looking at it I would think it was a mark. I would call it a mark. 

The photograph shows it looking like a mark. If indeed (as we believe) Apostle John of Patmos did see one across time it probably looked like "a mark".Chris-marsh-usa (talk) 04:39, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

At least I know how to use Wikipedia talk page now and read my mail.Chris-marsh-usa (talk) 04:39, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for removing the material. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 04:50, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Could somebody substantiate that a (human) microchip implant is always visible to the naked eye? That would then reduce the issue to a matter of religious belief to what a historical figure named John the Apostle is believed by modern people to have seen regarding the 21st Century.

At least in animals, it is completely invisible, but my cat was also covered in fur.

Mark or no mark, the content about concerns from the religious community would be appropriate content for the article because for some in the Christian community, the concern is real. However, that content must be sufficiently sourced and cited. In other words, you must cite previously published commentary about the religious concerns of RFID. Such citations could be books or other publications like this or this. It is becoming an increasingly controversial issue, and should be included in the article. In fact, these concerns may have been the impetus for several states having enacted laws banning forced RfD implantation. See WP:CIT for information on how to properly cite this idea. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.212.177.10 (talk) 01:53, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Heroes of Desert Storm

The plot could be greatly simplified: The events of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, deployment in Saudi Arabia, and complete war are told from several perspectives: the Kuwaiti people, U.S. Army and Marines, Navy pilots and sailors, Air Force pilots and crew, an Army Reserve unit, an Army chaplain on the Basra-Kuwait Highway, American and Iraqi prisoners of war, and American families back home. Though it was easy to get carried away with the thrill of the movie if anyone else has seen it, I wonder if you have.

I cannot substantiate that the movie seemed oversimplified for the American civilian audience so that gets left out of course.

The characters could probably be left in.Chris-marsh-usa (talk) 02:51, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Kratos

I saw that Operation Kratos is an anti-terrorist policy. Intriguing because I work for the San Diego-based company Kratos Defense and Security Solutions (Arlington VA office). I think a disambiguation page.... does it have to point to a Wikipedia page immediately? I do think it is a shame that one definition for Kratos is missing.Chris-marsh-usa (talk) 15:08, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Subdivisions (song)

Seeking permission to add external link

I think this external link from Nerds adds to Subdivisions (song). Paul Graham basically describes suburbia and its schools basically good for raising kids. As schools do not teach, a counterculture of self-absorbed conformists emerges and punishes, for example, committed students who "don't get it" that they are in a game where everybody wins/graduates.

And maybe for what I know, the real winners in life are the people pleasers. I experienced no environment such as I expected, no murderous academic environment comparable to combat where you could see your classmate fall "dead". I never saw casualties taken wherever I went to school....

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I've noticed that you have been adding your signature to some of your edits to articles. This is a common mistake to make and has probably already been corrected. There is no need to sign your edits to article content, as the article's edit history serves the function of attributing contributions, so you only need to use your signature to make discussions more readable, such as on article talk pages or project pages such as the Village Pump. If you would like further information about distinguishing types of pages, please see What is an article?. Again, thank you for contributing, and enjoy your Wikipedia experience! Thank you.
