Welcome to Wikipedia![edit]

Hello Ekpyrotic Architect, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, --Alf ^melmac 18:43, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your vast revision of the DID article[edit]

I'm responsible for much of the old article and I must say, I DO NOT LIKE what you have done to the article. You have rewritten it from the standpoint of "of course DID is real" and reduced all the protest and controversy to mere footnotes. It is an extremely POV edit and cannot be allowed to stand as it is. I was tempted to just do a blanket revert to the older version, but decided that this wasn't a good idea when I'm upset -- and short for time for a rewrite. Some of the material you've added seems to be useful, but the overall revision is a step downwards.

You say that you found the article "confusing". Well, the situation is confusing, with many POVs involved. Wikipedia doesn't anoint one POV as the truth, but tries to even-handedly list them all. Zora 20:00, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What a gracious response to my grumpiness! I'll still try to go through what you added and try to meld it with what's already there. Eventually -- I'm involved in too many articles. Perhaps that's why I'm grumpy. Zora 08:44, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
