Dr. Oweiss Article
Al, I'm really not sure about Dr. Oweiss' citizenship. You'd have to email him. If I get a chance at some point in the future I can try to ask if I get the opportunity. Sorry about that! Once again, thanks for your great work on the article. ~ Dpr 04:19, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
Re: I can't find the policy
Horatii, I can't find the Wikipolicy that explains that removing posts by others is against the rules. Do you know which policy this is? Please help, thank you. --AI 02:53, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

My response to your comments re. David S. Touretsky
- Thank you for the tips, but I will not abide by your suggestions. I am entitled to my POV and it is up to opposing POV's and outside views to ensure NPOV. If you are going to bite other newcomers, don't bother trying to hide your POV stained false teeth or pretend to flash shiny, false gold and false jewel encrusted POV teeth. My current understanding of policy based on my recent education by civil admins is that your scrutiny of me in an article's talk page is a violation of Misplaced Pages policy. --AI 01:12, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
- Dear AI,
- Thank you for responding to my comments. I am sorry, but NPOV applies to everyone, and it is up to you to make sure your edits conform to this policy - not other contributors. You can validate this for yourself by reading Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view for more information on this matter; you can see for yourself that it is clearly stated on that page. You may also be interested in reading Misplaced Pages:NPOV tutorial, which provides an informative guide to implementing NPOV in your articles.
- Secondly, would you please be so kind as to tell me which policy you are referring to regarding my comments to you on an articles talk page? I am unable to find it on Misplaced Pages:Policies and guidelines, and I have discussed the matter with a number of senior admins who are not aware of such a policy.
- Also, I don't understand what POV of mine you are referring to - I have absolutely no point of view as goes Prof. Touretzky's personality, and I was making my judgements on the basis of sources that you cited, not the matter of judging Prof. Touretzky's character. I also invite you to go through Special:Contributions/NicholasTurnbull to find evidence of POV in any of my edits.
- In addition, I am sorry if what I said to you could be construed as "biting" you; that was most certainly not my intention. Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages.
- Best regards,
