Jifferty,

In regard to this statement on your user page, "Organic life is assumed to be carbon based. I believe it is necessary to rethink this assumption and redefine our lexicon", Wikipedia is not the place to carry on your campaign. Wikipedia operates by the five pillars. The pillar that states that Wikipedia has a neutral point of view is implemented by the neutral point of view, verifiability and no original research policies. What this all adds up to is that Wikipedia brings together and summarizes in a balanced manner information that has been published in reliable sources. It is not the place to try to change the world or to advocate a cause. To the extent that you can cite reliable sources on non-carbon based life, you can incorporate such material into Wikipedia. First, though, have a look at Hypothetical types of biochemistry. -- Donald Albury 10:11, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
