Handy Hint
user talk:dave souza Archives |

|
handy hint: to keep discussions in one place, if you leave a talk message I'll answer it here, though I may put a note on your page if getting your attention seems important. However, if I leave a talk message on your page, and you respond here, I will respond on your page for consistency. Apologies if I fail to notice changes on your page, must trim my watchlist.
ID timeline
To get the hang of its origins, I'm jotting together User talk:Dave souza/ID timeline. Lets hope this is useful..... dave souza, talk 19:00, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Intelligent design
I give up on this article. People have read the original version of the lead o much that they're completey blind to any faults it has, and are starting to make personal attacks on anyone who tweaks it. I'm giving it a few months to see if it settles down. There's also a bit of a WP:OWN situation. Adam Cuerden 11:04, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
- Good idea to leave it be for a while – it's extremely sensitive, and while obvious vandalism is easily dealt with, a great deal of effort and patience is needed to make any changes. If you're at a loose end, Alfred Russel Wallace is heading towards FA and I'd appreciate it if you could look it over. Thanks, .. dave souza, talk 11:28, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Talk: Flood Geology
Actually, since you brought up my belief, I believe that the rainbow was first seen after the first rain ~6000 years ago. I have little insight into God's timeline for the laws of physics. "It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power." - Acts 1:7 Dan Watts 12:20, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- Just so. Belief, and particularly such belief, is the antithesis of science. ..... dave souza, talk 17:10, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- I had no notion that science delved into the timing of the return of Christ. Dan Watts 18:41, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the note on the UK National Curriculum
We are pretty much exhausted after getting the WPCD up but I am happy to change the schools website within a few days. Is there much difference? We could always do a Scots version. Ironic that according to UCLES the UK curriculum is used in more than a hundred other countries but not Scotland mind you. --BozMo talk 06:21, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Re: Template:Inappropriate tone
Thanks for making the change! I hope that will make things clearer for people who find that articles they've worked on have been tagged. —Celithemis 09:36, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Cradle of Life
Can't hurt. Adam Cuerden 09:56, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. This Prozac is doing a bit of a number on me today. But I'm told the side effects should go away in the next two weeks. Adam Cuerden 11:00, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the offer
To talk to the curriculum people in Scotland and see if there are other things we should add or change. I would be very grateful if you spoke to them and will try to accomodate any suggestions they make. --BozMo talk 18:58, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Cradle of humanity (2nd nomination)
You recently commented at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Cradle of Humanity, which closed with no consensus. The article has been re-nominated for deletion, and you may care to comment at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Cradle of humanity (2nd nomination). --Akhilleus (talk) 16:25, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
/ID timeline
This in article space yet? Adam Cuerden 12:23, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- Nope, my aim would be to trim it down to brief summaries for each "date", probably putting parts of the "quotations... etc" in footnotes along with the reference they come from , keeping my own page as a scrapbook: feel free to move it and work on it insitu if you prefer. Got any good ideas for the title? Could be History of intelligent design or Intelligent design timeline, at a guess. ... dave souza, talk 12:30, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- "Intelligent design timeline" sounds good to me. Adam Cuerden 14:18, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Smaug123
Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my talk page! Smaug123 16:09, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
- Glad to help, no doubt the 24 hour block on our anon friend will have to be repeated and extended sometime. Thanks for fighting vandalism! .. dave souza, talk 16:14, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
USians?
ROFL. •Jim62sch• 19:09, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
- Me thought you'd like the advice on procreation and travel, which is a variant on a polite UKese euphemism for an expression often referred to using the initials of the Foreign Office... :) ... dave souza, talk 19:25, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Clever devil. Do you eat picalilli in Scotland or is that a Brit thing? •Jim62sch• 21:01, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
- It's a bit of a pickle, and my enthusiasm for suchlike runs out after beetroots and chutney. Some folks like it, dunno if it's more of an English thing. If it's an obscure pun, 'fraid you've lost me there. Onywey, Broon's oor new leader noo, his chats with the chimp may less chummy than his predecessor's. A son o' the manse, just hope he disnae turn oot tae be anither o they christians... dave souza, talk 21:14, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Be nice....
Talk:Evolution - It *might* be a valid question. There are, after all, interesting fields of research we possibly could include. Adam Cuerden 21:43, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's just the way that they say it... Got your message as I was trying to post a somewhat embarrassed follow up. Maybe needs a new sub article! ... dave souza, talk 21:56, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
- I do think there's a case for a third evolution article along the lines of Further exploration of evolution or Evolution (Part II) that goes into more detail about the more complex concepts, like Hardy-Weinberg, epigenetics, level of selection, etc. Adam Cuerden 22:00, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
- You're probably right, but this is way over my head. I'd have thought developments in research on evolution or something would fit. Am currently trying to get my head round the theology of creationism, and don't want to post a half-bodged effort there. Time for a break, ta for the comments. ... dave souza, talk 22:10, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
- That works. Also gives it a nice focus. But perhaps later. Just helped bring Ediacaran biota to FA, got a couple images through WP:FPC and the commons equivalent, and other such things. Probably should really be doing Natural selection and all the other sub-articles first. Adam Cuerden 22:42, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for being so supportive of my concerns. I was beginning to think that no one cared and no one wanted to listen at creationism. Is there any advice that you can give for how I can make myself better understood? --Fradulent Ideas 13:42, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
