Welcome!

Hello, Nn9888, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Apple IIe has not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been or will be removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

Nn9888's response: Yeah, but the vast majority of that entire article lacks references, so that's not fair.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Apple IIe, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 03:07, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Proper use of talk pages

Talk pages on Wikipedia are intended to be used only for discussions of how to improve the associated Wikipedia article; all changes to an article must be supportable by reputable published sources. Talk pages are specifically not to be used as a forum for discussing the topic. I have removed the personal opinion essays that you placed on the imagination, philosophy of computer science, and Chinese room pages. Looie496 (talk) 13:29, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Well, I see that you've put them back with new section titles. That isn't going to fly, I'm afraid. Rather then continuing to badger you about this, I've asked for help -- please take note of Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Misuse of talk pages. Looie496 (talk) 15:12, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Please stop. Adding these long essays to talk pages is inappropriate (per WP:TALK), as has been explained multiple times to you. Continuing to edit war about this will only lead to you being blocked for disruptive editing. Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 15:56, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

• You asked on my talk page which policy you are violating. As has been explained to you multiple times, talk pages are the place to discuss improvements to an article, not to post long essays of your personal opinion. Please read WP:TALK. Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 06:18, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Nn9888 I'm chiming in as well. I'm not a sysop or a crat, just a user like you are. In order to insert anything into any article, you need to have a reliable source for it, even if you know it's true. For example, if I go to the Linux entry and add in "Linux was developed by Linus Torvalds as a freeware alternative to Unix" with no source, I would expect that to be removed, even thought I'm a Linux (OpenSuse 12.3 at the moment, also Kali! ) and have been for years. Wikipedia can't take my word for that fact or any fact, I need a source, just as you'll need sources for anything you type in articles or article talk pages. I'm not making this up either, check Wikipedia's policy on Verification and Wikipedia's policy on reliable sources. It looks like you've had issues with this before as well (the meditation case above is also about not having sources ). Just add in reliable sources and you'll be covered!

Formal mediation has been requested

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Talk:Chinese room". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 1 October 2015.

Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

Copy-edits to Chinese Room article

Hi -- since we are in a dispute about some other things, let me just say that I think the copy-edits you made are improvements to the article. Looie496 (talk) 13:14, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
