Why I returned

For better or worse, Misplaced Pages is now the first stop for students doing research for classes. It is important, therefore, that there be a person willing to ensure that information is accurate and reliable here. I disagree with the so-called "cult of the amateur" embraced by large segments of the community here, but since this is an open format I am pleased to continue to contribute as best as I can to fight against cranks and pseudoscience.

Welcome back! Vsmith 18:37, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm here for much the same reason, in math rather than science. — Carl (CBM · talk) 18:52, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Fantastic. This is the best Misplaced Pages related news in quite some time. -- Ec5618 19:20, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Welcome back from me too William M. Connolley 20:28, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi there, if I can help out in any way, please just drop a note on my talk page. Tim Vickers 22:49, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm here for exactly the same reasons as you. Welcome back to the madhouse. The Sanity Cabal has missed you. Raymond Arritt 00:50, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

This is great news. — BillC 06:12, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Glad to see you back

Just wanted to chime in. Don't let the bastards get you down, even though they try hard. Help out at Homeopathy if you want. OrangeMarlin 18:54, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Welcome back. :-) KillerChihuahua 19:08, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Not that you really want to know but....

You better comment here OrangeMarlin 20:34, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Glad to see you've returned

I don't think we ever ran into each other, but I'm a civil engineer who avoids science-related topics only because of the psuedoscience POV-pushers. You're doing something necessary, please don't let others get you down. east.718 at 22:12, October 2, 2007

Thanks

Thanks for over-extending yourself into places that really didn't concern you, and not being shy about what your agenda is. In a place of neutrality, you really do belong here. You and the rest of the one-dimensional people really know what's best. Just as you always have, as all the pages of history here show. Peace Jiminezwaldorf 03:27, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't always agree with ScienceApologist, but Misplaced Pages allows anyone to edit any article (WP:OWN), and fringe science and pseudoscience articles are his main interest so they surely concern him. If we can agree on such basic facts, then some year we may agree on neutrality. Art LaPella 06:31, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I'll address the NPOV tag as soon as I can. Please be patient. Jiminezwaldorf 23:32, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Nice

I never met you, but apon trowling through the ARBCOM, and Comunity ban archives, as I do when I am bored, or not at work, I am glad to see you back here editing after that horrible business with user:iantresman, now blocked thank goodness. It's always a struggle to create something of a credible encyclopedia when there are vandals, pov pushers, spammers, trolls, and other undesirebles here. Zanusi 09:35, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes nice to have you back; while you were away, some whippersnapper called User:Nondistinguished was trying to impersonate you, but he seemed to have lost most of his votes for deletion and gave up ;-) --feline1 09:47, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

EVP

We've been going through an informal mediation concerning the EVP article. The discussions can be found here: Talk:Electronic voice phenomena. We're trying to work on each section at a time and reach a consensus on that. We're at a standstill because the mediator is busy this week however in theory we could do it without him. I think this way is better than simply editing it directly(Until consensus is met) because of potential edit wars. Wikidudeman 14:07, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, and welcome back. Since at least one editor has recently been editing the article directly I suppose that means there's no need to wait for consensus or be at a "standstill". It sure could use some attenton. For example, regarding the article's introduction, "EVP" can only be stated to have been "observed" in various media if cited by authoritative sources such as IEEE Journals, Audio Engineering Society (AES) Journals, International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration, and current academic texts. Otherwise, the observations must be phrased as a claim. - LuckyLouie 00:25, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

WELCOME BACK

I just noticed you're editing again. Glad to see you back. Raul654 21:11, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
