Welcome

Hi and welcome to wikipedia. I hope you like it and decide to stay. Here are some handy links for newcomers.

Hello

I can't help but notice your comments on the Talk:Dianetics page. In an effort to understand what you mean to say, I read several of them. They show you are familar with wikipedia, oppose Dianetics and Scientology from being presented to the reader, and criticize any mention of psychology except in an exemplary manner. (you implied it is inappropriate to use IQ as a measure of Dianetics success). But the reason I attempt to get into communication with you is because your recent comments are well back in the discussion, on issues considered by most editors as already having been resolved and, therefore, I was curious what you were attempting to accomplish?

If those issues are old, then they need to be archived. It's not my burden as a visitor to the talk page to personally determine what's still in dispute. I invite you to create the archive, as you seem to understand what's still in dispute better than I do. Your argument about the IQ issue is wholly inaccurate. You just can't measure your success by a method (IQ) and discredit the method at the same time. If Scientology wants its own measurement system of intelligence, it's their freedom to develop one. IQ, however, is already taken. Finally, you are violating Wikipedia policy by assuming my actions are in bad faith ("[you] oppose Dianetics and Scientology from being presented to the reader"). Just because I don't support your viewpoint or edits doesn't mean I oppose presenting information to readers. By your standard, you oppose psychology from being presented to the reader. --Davidstrauss 10:58, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
