Happy editing! JFW | T@lk 18:54, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for the welcome! I could get hooked on this you know... AvB 19:18, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
You could. It's called Wikipediholicism and I'm a patient. But it's great fun. JFW | T@lk 20:05, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- Sounds good to me. I know how to be a patient ~:-) AvB ÷ talk 21:22, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
Asperger syndrome
I'm comparatively new here and haven't participated in any debate here before, so if this isn't formatted right, I'm sorry.
I am becoming severely irritated at what I have added about the science-fiction/Asperger thing being removed as supposedly anti-Aspie. I am not, having both ADHD and a lesser case of AS myself, and with a son similarly afflicted.
I am anti-cultural bigotry. There is a long, established history of science fiction being regarded as "that crazy Buck Rogers stuff", with a similar lack of regard for those who read it. This whole "that explains the science fiction weirdos -- they all have a personality deficit disorder" attitude is a slam which stains anyone who is a fan of the genre, and it is NOT "neutral point of view" to let a bigotry, even one held by a professional in the field, go unremarked-upon. Try substituting some other group for Star Trek fans in Attwood's remark, like Jews or blacks or Democrats, and see if it still sounds harmless.

- See the compromise I proposed on the Asperger syndrome discussion page where you also posted the above, and my response on your Talk page. AvB ÷ talk 03:24, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Sorry if my edit summary was too brief; I hope I got the citations you asked for. —James S. 11:48, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Come and vote your mind
Dear Christian friend,
I saw you on the list of Christian Wikipedians and wanted to let you know about something. The other day, someone nominated 12 Christian biography entries for deletion! They include a Christian university list of people (not unlike 68 other lists like it), presidents of universities, and authors of many books.
Since that time, people have been voting. Please take this message as a call to vote; not a call to vote a certain way. I respect you and your ability to come, read the entry, and make a wise decision. In other words, I’m not vote stacking or campaigning; simply letting you know something that you’d probably like to know.
By the way, my friend recently started an organization called Wiki4Christ. If you’d like to join a network of Christians with a purpose on Misplaced Pages, please see the site!
Below are some of the links that need attention. Thanks for your consideration.
