User talk:JimfromGTA

Hi, I thought you might be interested that by happenstance, based on a question from another user, I came across a 2008 paper by Danin which was written long after Antonoci's book and added that. Danin has since compared the black and white photos to UV images and reported on them. I think that is a good example of how we can add references to Wikipedia - by finding new, recent facts. I would like to encourage you to watch that page and contribute to Wikipedia, for I followed up on the Danin paper, only because you had brought it up. So your efforts paid off in the end. Cheers.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Your test on the page Shroud of Turin worked, and has been removed. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing and its related help page for more information. Thank you.  Blue Rasberry  15:31, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Welcome
Welcome! Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a  living person to any Wikipedia page. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced to multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring and sockpuppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Lastly, if you are editing an article about an individual or group of people, please adhere to Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!  Blue Rasberry  15:31, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I did not remove the material you added, another user did. As you can see there are multiple people active on that page. I am busy with another article right now, but you can discuss that with the user who reverted your addition. Cheers History2007 (talk) 16:26, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

I reverted your changes! Please visit my talk page. I have responded to your question.  Blue Rasberry  00:20, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Shroud of Turin are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

Backlash
Jim, I think as the recent comments show, your insistence on the issues you see as valid is generating backlash against those views from multiple editors. So from your own point of view, the high level of insistence may set your own view back. May I suggest a softer approach. That type of "push" in Wikipedia generates talk page comments, takes up effort, and in the end just backfires. Thanks. History2007 (talk) 04:35, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Please stop using talk pages such as Shroud of Turin for general discussion of the topic. They are for discussion related to improving the article; not for use as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See here for more information. Thank you.
