Warning

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. --Hans Adler (talk) 17:14, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 06:52, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

I believe your recent edits to Skolem paradox constitute blatant point of view pushing and have marked them as vandalism. This has been discussed at length already in the talk pages with you. If you must edit a page pushing a point of view could you at least not do it by sticking huge chunks into the introduction section? Put it into a section like the one for Putnam for instance or a separate section and then people can assume it was in good faith and try and rescue something useful from it.

Some comments

Xzungg, you are getting on a lot of knowledgeable editors' nerves, and you are occupying valuable time of professional mathematicians. Thanks for no longer trying to directly push the publications of a certain non-notable author. Ideally I would wish that you also stop pushing that author's extremely fringe (i.e. not even controversial) pseudo-mathematical point of view with an enormous output of text that is obviously strongly inspired by the book even down to the level of typography.

Please read WP:FRINGE, WP:TLDR, WP:NOR and WP:COI. You are currently ignoring all these rules, and this can easily lead to your being blocked and eventually banned.

In any case, at least make an effort to follow WP:SIGN. In other words: End all your talk page comments with

~~~~

so that they have a proper signature (and date) at the end and everybody can see where your comment ends and another editor's comment starts. Thank you. --Hans Adler (talk) 11:16, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

1. Thanking you for no longer pushing Colin Leslie Dean's self-published books onto talk pages was obviously premature, since exactly one hour after my above comment you did it again. [1]
2. Once more you did not sign any of your comments. Is there any particular reason why you can't be bothered to put "~~~~" at the end of your talk page comments and other editors have to clean up after you?
3. This kind of edit is completely unacceptable because it gives the impression that another editor is replying to you when in fact you are replying to that editor. The most important problems in detail: 1) You replied to an indented (starts with ":") message with another message that was not indented, in a situation where it would have been proper to indent twice (start with "::"). 2) You did not sign your message. --Hans Adler (talk) 12:32, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
