JJ, yesterday I was looking at various responses to several different comments I placed on the talk page of the article on ] quite a while ago about unclear sentences. I even replied to one of them at ]. I thought IP editor 77's comments showed that this editor was fairly knowledgeable and was for the most part a courteous editor (but see the last paragraph in his/her reply to ] at ]), so I welcomed him/her on his/her talk page and encouraged him/her to register an account and to be courteous. Today, I saw a reply to the comment I left yesterday at ]. I am a little puzzled by two things: 1) the editor seems to have misunderstood my comment, and the tone seems less courteous than in the other comments, and 2) even though it says "I" said, the IP address is different. Do you think IP 77 is simply replying from a different computer? Is that normally acceptable on WP? Also, was I wrong in what I said? ] (]) 16:53, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

:Hi Corinne. As for the IP-adress: that's one of the reasons why Misplaced Pages promotes the use of user-accounts, so it's clear who's who. As fort he tone: I'll have to read it through. ] -] 16:58, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

:It sounds like an experienced editor, who's been in some wiki-fights before. What's triggered them might be this line: ''"If you have done a search and have found no reliable source, you could suggest"''. It probably works the other way round: if there is no source/reference provided, the line might as wellbe removed. I guess they read it as "hey, you've got to prove she's ''not'' notable, otherwise, stay away!". That's ''not'' what you meant, but I guess it's what they read.
:Does this help? It makes me curious, anyway, who this is, and how experinced they are. Best regards, ] -] 19:56, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
::Oh. All right. Thanks. ] (]) 22:00, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
:::I would also like to have an answer on these moving IPs. Why can anyone use them on Wiki? It is actually trolling. ] (]) 07:43, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
::::Misplaced Pages does not require editors to open an account and it is sometimes (if they are not editing disruptively) permitted to use multiple accounts or multiple IPs. Improper use of multiple IPs include attempts to deceive or mislead other editors, disrupt discussions, distort consensus and avoid sanctions (], ]).
::::As far as I know, attempts to change this policy/consensus have not been successful because a majority argues that it is most important to assume good faith and make it easy to participate. They believe that the mechanisms against IP sock puppetry are working sufficiently.
::::Why would someone have a dynamic IP address? Most people choose an Internet service provider because he offers a good price. Some ISPs provide dynamic IPs and it is possible that your own IP is a dynamic one (I assume my IP is dynamic, I did not choose it). ] (]) 16:07, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Honestly speaking, you played a major role during the development phase of this article on ]. Please let me know your concerns as far as the last edit is concerned. Richard M. Eaton is not only reliable, the statement is also specific and relevant to say the least; and we have no reason to pick only Wink's statement.

Hello, Joshua. ], also. A few of us have been discussing a re-working of the article ]. See ]. One, ], has begun the trimming that was discussed, which I applaud.

:I'm afraid I know to little about this topic.

Somehow related to artificial landscapes; the wish to escape from modernity's grip on the surroundings. So, if I think further: the popularity of meditation may be related: also a means to escape. Just like holiday-travels.

As I have mentioned, I had no real interest in the dispute over Buddhist topics. I'm not a Buddhist; I'm a Roman Catholic Christian. My interest in Buddhism is only that I think it has excellent ethical teachings that are similar to Christian ethical teachings. I didn't want to be dragged into Robert Walker's complaints about content. The issue seems to have to do with what sources should be relied on to what extent, and I am not qualified to assess that. His complaint seemed to be that you and Victoria Grayson had made extensive edits, and he didn't like them, and he wanted to know whether making extensive edits to a previously stable article was a conduct issue. I said that the only conduct issue was his ranting. ] (]) 20:51, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

You seem to be a reasonable editor, which may mean that you may be applying Buddhist ethics of compassion, non-violence, mutual respect, and respect for truth to your editing. ] (]) 20:51, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
