==Welcome== Hello A.J.A. and welcome to Misplaced Pages! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you. Be bold!, explore, and contribute. If you want to learn more,

Misplaced Pages:Bootcamp teaches you the basics quickly,
Misplaced Pages:Tutorial is more in-depth, and

Five Pillars of Misplaced Pages

Float around for awhile until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. There are also many great committees and groups that focus on particular jobs. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Misplaced Pages:Translation into English and Misplaced Pages:Cleanup for sloppy articles. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy.

There are a few crucial points to keep in mind when editing. Be civil with users, strive to maintain a neutral point of view, verify your information, and show good etiquette like signing your comments with four tildes like this: ~~~~ If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page or ask the true experts at Misplaced Pages:Help desk. Again, welcome! -- Draeco 03:55, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Acharya S

There are few enough who can contribute sensibly, and also keep out of the cycle of provocation on the talk page. I'd prefer to see you in that minority. Charles Matthews 17:14, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Rene-Skull, aka Rpsugar

See Misplaced Pages:Resolving disputes. She/he is also in possible violation of the "no personal attacks" policy. "He has the defense of being anonymous right now, but he will be found out and tracked for the statements he has made and has no business doing so." Ironically enough, rpsugar/Rene-Skull was not logged in at the time, so has the defense of being anonyomous. crazyeddie 22:55, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

I believe that was in response to Zaroves threats to publish Acharya's credit info online if I didn't back off and let him have his way with the article. Procuring a credit report under false pretenses is a crime. In addition, a wanted kidnapper is known to have passed around Acharya's personal info to religious groups, suggesting that Zarove may have been in contact with this person. Where, for example, did he get the 'Melne' middle name from?? His story has been that he is a former reporter, with a "masters in journalism", and that he wrote an article about Acharya for a tennessee newspaper; he says he procured this info in his research efforts. Though he will give his full name, he will not give the name of the newspaper, the title of the article, the date it was published, nor will he back up his "masters in journalism" claim. In addition, he claims he was a physics major in 2001. Masters in Journalism, a year and half in physics, and a job as a reporter a few years ago... all by the time he was 26. ^^James^^ 04:10, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Acharya S edit

Thank you for your edit to Acharya S. Since this is a disputed page, I guess a good thing to do is wait before making further edits and see how others will react. Let us hope that the article will not degenrate in an edit war again. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 03:31, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I can make myself scarce around those parts for the next few days, if that's what you're hinting at. I don't think any substantive improvements will be made in any case until User:Crazyeddie does his thing, or at any rate I'm not going to try. A.J.A. 03:42, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, asking for a few days may be too much. Say till some other involved people see your changes and have comments. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 04:06, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Clarification on Chick comment

Either Diligens or I have misunderstood a comment you made on Talk:Charles Chiniquy - Diligens has interpreted you as saying that www.chick.com is not Chick's official website (and removed mention of Chick again, for that and other reasons), I read your words differently. Would appreciate if you could clarify it there? --Calair 00:10, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
