Hello, Harvard1932, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Data theory, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! --allthefoxes (Talk) 22:24, 20 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 06:00, 23 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Philosophy. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

And to that add two other Philosophy articles (Modern philosophy and Contemporary Philosophy where you are inserting personal opinions based solely on the authority of your (or your close friend's) web site (which is nicely designed by the way). When your edits are contested you get agreement before making the change again per WP:BRD. No one wants to make it difficult for a new editor, but you have to learn how wikipedia works and follow its rules. If you carry on edit warring on this you will almost certainly be sanctioned in some way ----Snowded TALK 06:14, 23 December 2015 (UTC)Reply


OK I am adding to this a warning about personal attacks which are not acceptable on wikipedia. If you don't stop and focus on properly referenced changes to content then you are likely to be blocked. Now you are of course welcome to advance an argument that Philosophy should proceed by debate and I'm happy to agree on the validity of that (although not as a universal). However Wikipedia is not a philosophy classroom or an open forum. It is an encyclopaedia and the ONLY material allowed is that supported by citation. You've been given links to the rules of sourcing and also to why original research and synthesis are not permitted here. If you want to change that policy (and I doubt you have a cat's chance in hell but go for it if you want) then the place is on the talk page of those policies not on individual articles. You've got the links, you've been shown the sources now you have to decide if you want to be a member of the community or not. If you carry on as you are at the moment then you will end up being blocked from editing. If you want help or advise then ask, I'm happy to do so as any experienced editor will be. But if you want to simply assert a position contrary to the community rules then the community will end up expelling you ----Snowded TALK 10:55, 24 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Snowded, just stop stalking my wikipedia page. I barley started 3 days ago on Wikipedia with my first edit. The way you are handling my edits without proper reasoning is inappropriate for a "chief scientific officer". Who doesn't even reason scientifically. You are philosophy fielded, and philosophers are not scientific. Let's not get things personal, because you will lose more, and you are the one started the arguments by edit war on my edits. To avoid conflicts between me, you and Pf. Keep edits AWAY from my personal talk page as a starting point, keep arguments on open discussion pages.Harvard1932 (talk) 22:31, 24 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
