Welcome to Wikipedia, Larek! I am LouriePieterse and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Cloud Nine, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

- I added a additional entry to a Disambig page, and you left a note on my talk page that I need to cite my sources on that edit.
- As Disambig pages don't really ever have <ref> tags, what is the issue?Larek (talk) 16:38, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
Law of Contradiction & Principle of Non-Contradiction
editHi Larek,
The Law of Contradiction (LC) is different from the Principle of Non-Contradiction (PNC). The Principle is fundamental and is not derived. The theorem or Law is derived from basic principles, which is what Russell&Whitehead did in the Principles of Mathematics (PM). See http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/1465/ , for example, for the circularity that entails. There are no principles of mathematics without first assuming the PNC, so deriving it is an exercise in tautology. For this reason, I would think that the less said about the Principles of Mathematics, the less confusion is introduced into the article.
Do you disagree? BlueMist (talk) 01:12, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
- On the Law of Contradiction. No I don't disagree, As I didn't include the {def}. My edit was to correct the existing PM quote as a historical reference. I Then added the "Law of Contradiction" since there were already three titles (both laws and principals) and (non- and not non-), Since that is how its refereed to in PM which is just a line or two below. It just seemed how the arithmetical was already going..
- As for if a PM reference is confusing.. That's up for grabs. This is an encyclopedia, so historical references are a good thing. Its a very short blurb. And Even though principals are not derived, they didn't spontaneously exist either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Larek (talk • contribs) 15:44, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
- OK. I guess the title of the article could be changed to Principle, and Law should then have its own paragraph. meh... BlueMist (talk) 01:53, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
