Criticizing you for being anonymous[edit]

Hi, Dave. Thanks for your message. I don't recall criticizing anyone for being anonymous. If I did, then I was wrong to do so, as Wikipedia welcomes edits from registered and unregistered users. Since I don't know which anonymous editor you were, I can't recall the "criticism". It's possible that I referred in the talk page to the edits from the "anonymous user", or that I sent a standard message to your (IP address) talk page, inviting you to register. Whatever the case, I'm sure it wasn't intended as a criticism. Anyway, I'm glad you've registered, as it makes it easier to keep track of edits from registered users and to discuss possible improvements or disagreements on the talk page of articles. And by the way, you can sign your name by putting four tildes like this ~~~~ at the end of your entries in article talk pages (also called "discussion" pages), and user talk pages. It will expand into your user name (with a link to your user page), and the date. Welcome to Wikipedia, but please don't think you weren't welcome before you registered.

Yes, with regard to your message here, welcome, but I add that it is even easier to sign your name: You click on the icon to the immediate right of the "W" with a red circle around it. It produces THIS: "--~~~~". By adding the two dash things, it makes your signature more complete, by having little "seperator dashes," however, it is easier to simply click the icon than it is to type in all four tildae marks.--GordonWattsDotCom 17:36, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Inquisition Picture[edit]

Regarding the picture you uploaded - - I have no problem with it being on the Criticisms of Christianity page, but do we know it is the torture of a non-Christian? The Inquisition tortured Christians as well as non-Chritians...are you sure of what it is (do you have a source)?

Also...please either label your edits or discuss on the talk page so the rest of the community can keep track of changes. Thanks! KHM03 18:17, 11 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
