Thanks for the welcome. I've been around a while at the margins. Don't expect too much.

I do have generic wiki experience (JSPWiki, Confluence) from work, where I tried to use Wikipedia principles to create a community of contributors. Everyone preferred for me to generate content - much like Wikipedia, I guess.

I'm working on a thumbnail biography of Carolyn_Dykema to provide a destination for the red links I left on Westborough, not to mention Holliston, Hopkinton, and Southborough. Medway lacks an infobox as yet. I suppose I could add one when time permits.

Reply to my talk page question
About the Shroud of Turin:

I reviewed your attachement and found it to ramble on and on and didn't make much sense. Please provide the following on the Shroud Talk page:

Would you please list out one by one, the precise points you wish to make about the shroud being a "proven" fake.

Would you also please include references to the STURP testing and findings and how your information concurs or disagrees with leading scientists.

Further, please advise how much "direct time" your source has spent inspecting the cloth before he drew his conclusion.

The juxtiposition against the STURP team is requested to avoid duplicating those "fakery" arguements that have already been proven to be scientifically unsound. For example, the shroud is NOT a painting. So anyone who proposes that the shroud can be replicated by painting such as your source suggests has not reviewed existing evidence and doesn't understand the subject matter. And if they don't understand the science, then they speak jibberish.

FYI, the STURP were a team of recognized scientists from major universities who studied the shroud. They provided most of the evidence that is discussed today. They spent more than 25 man years in direct inspection of the cloth and doing tests against various hypothesis. Many of the common "faker" hypothesis have been tested by the STURP team and failed to pass scientific review. JimfromGTA (talk) 02:30, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Lava, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Molten rock. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
