Your third link in the section on "Dishonesty" on the evidence page (currently link #206) appears to have a problem. Guettarda 17:08, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

What is V RS?

In here you have used the term V RS many times, I was wondering what it meant? Thanks. iamthebob 02:13, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I was referring to WP: V and WP: RS - sources that are a) verifiable and b) reliableGleng 07:06, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Ah, thanks a lot! iamthebob 21:50, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to see you go

And good to see you back. ... Kenosis 02:13, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Gleng, I wish you well at Citizendium. You've been an excellent source of reason, especially on a page hijacked by a lone looney with a warped obsession. Ciao. •Jim62sch• 22:43, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

You don't know me (and I don't really know you), but I just wanted to tell you I enjoyed reading the information you left on your user page... you very clearly put a fascinating set of ideas. On the basis of what you wrote I have to say I'm sorry to not have you here as well. Ben Tibbetts 19:41, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Come back!

Misplaced Pages is an open forum reflective of a society that is controlled by people of all stripes, including people who are loud and ignorant, who jump to superficial and erroneous conclusions, who use intellectually thin reasoning, etc.

Although I empathize with your frustration, know that your presence here is vital and that your input is highly valued. Please put aside your frustrations with this imperfect forum and continue to help break down the walls of academic elitism, as it is an honor to have you here.

I have valued your input, and I am asking you to come back.

Welcome Back Gareth!

Glad to see that you have rejoined the project. I don't think I was editing at all before you left, but I have still managed to come across some of your contributions. Your input is certainly welcome over at Chiropractic. Cheers, DigitalC (talk) 12:06, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Welcome back!!! (even though I started editing Chiropractic after you left.) ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 12:21, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
