Curiosity
Hi - there was no problem. I just noted on your edit to Gold rush that no one had welcomed you, so thought I'd do my bit and say welcome. Don't know why the welcoming committee had overlooked you. When I see edits on my watch list by users with no talk page, I just become a committee of one. :-) Vsmith 19:45, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
Shiva
Elysdir, thanks for your comments. I made changes to the Shiva article. Rudra is another name of Shiva. In Shaivism, Shiva is the supreme God. In Smarta or

Dermatillomania
With respect, the image is hardly from irrelevant. I posted a picture of my own hand--which a dermatologist and psychiatrist attributed to what they felt was an obsessive-compulsive skin-picking disorder. I am curious as to what your rationale for the image for being "irrelevant" is. // 3R1C (talk) 02:59, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
- Perhaps I'm more susceptible to noticing it because it is on my own hand, but I am also colorblind and I do not have issues with it--at least in real life. If you are disputing the technical aspects of the actual photography, fine. If you are arguing the caption, fine. Neither one of those is reason to remove the image without some discussion. I'll fix the caption, if that's a fair compromise to you. // 3R1C (talk) 22:23, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
- Additionally, as an addendum to the color-blindness issue, I will try to take a compare-contrast image of my hands to further illustrate the difference. Hopefully that will be more of an aid to those of us that do have problems with contrasts and similar hues. // 3R1C (talk) 22:26, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for March 4
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Clarion West Writers Workshop instructors, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gavin Grant (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Parent categories
Thanks for your recent contributions. A word about categories
- I see you have added a great many duplicate novelist cats. It would be uber-appreciated if you could undo these for the reasons given above. Cheers. talk) 20:27, 25 April 2013 (UTC)]

Categories that exist can be used
There is no justification for removing a category that exists. If people do not like the category they are free to discuss such at the nominations for deletion. However they are not free to unilaterally remove categories that apply. That is out of process deletion of categories and is higly discoraged, and has a tendency to disrupted deletion discussions. Categories are not lists, we have
Cherry Adair
your adding of Cherry Adair to Category:American novelists totally went against clear precedents. Category:American romantic fiction writers is a sub-cat of Category:American novelists, by genre subcats clearly diffuse, the main category suggest we should be diffusing, we should not be putting articles in such clearly diffusing sub-cats in the main category.John Pack Lambert (talk) 07:20, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
LonCon3
Hi there, At LonCon3, on Saturday there is a session on Wikipedia at 10:00am in Capital Suite 7+12. Afterward we are having an informal meet up of people who edit Wikipedia. Hope to see you at either or both. Sydney Poore/FloNight♥♥♥♥ 00:12, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Turing Test
With regard to the Turing test page you raised the issue of Elbot taking on the character of a robot. An example from one of the 2008 Turing test conversations is given 0n Page 83 of Artificial Intelligence: The Basics by Kevin Warwick, 2011. In this particular conversation Elbot was adjudged by the interrogator to be an adult male.
Interrogator: Okay, fair enough. I'll stop with the slang. How are you?
Elbot: Just a moment! I'll start my self-diagnosis algorithm and let you know the results.
Interrogator: Very funny, that's exactly what you'd say if you were a computer, right?
