User talk:Teetotaler

Welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as S-Mart) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. If you want to test things out, edit the sandbox instead. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. janejellyroll 03:48, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created. Doing so is considered vandalism. janejellyroll 03:50, 23 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the S-Mart article, but your comments in the Army of Darkness talk were good enough for a laugh. Murderbike 04:52, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Please do not use talk pages for general discussion of the topic. They are for discussion related to improving the article. They are not to be used as a forum or chat room. See here for more information. Tim Vickers (talk) 23:29, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Noam Chomsky
Have you some reference that he's practising judaism?--Vojvodaeist 19:13, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

--Not on hand, rather the burden of proof is on those who list Chomsky as an atheist without reference. If he isn't a practicing Jew, it doesn't mean he is an atheist.

an IP address editor has been adding off-topic comments about jews to article Talk pages and signing your name to them - see Special:Contributions/174.62.129.34 If this is you, please limit your comments on Talk to suggestions for article content. If not, you may want to consider taking some action. Jytdog (talk) 00:50, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors, as you did on User talk:Somchai Sun. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Somchai Sun (talk) 16:36, 31 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Anti-Semitism against Muslims (as well as against Jews) often makes me critical of simple white folks like yourself, Somchai Sun.

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on User talk:Teetotaler. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Somchai Sun (talk) 16:46, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for attempting to harass other users. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. ... disco spinster   talk  16:50, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

IP addresses
If you accidental forget to login and make an edit, then request an administrator such as my self to fix it for you. User:Banak was trying to protect you against someone mascaraing as you, which is understandable when your signature is attached to an IP address. I have now removed the association between your user name and the IP address. In future please make sure that you login before you make an edit. -- PBS (talk) 16:25, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

A summary of some important policies and guidelines

 * "Truth" is not the only criteria for inclusion, verifiability is also required.
 * We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
 * Wikipedia is not a general discussion forum, additions to talk pages should be about improving the article within the guidelines, not voicing one's opinion on the subject matter.
 * A subject is considered notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
 * Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards.  User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided.  Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
 * Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources.  Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for.  In the case of science, this evidence must ultimately start with physical evidence.  In the case of religion, this means only reporting what has been written and not taking any stance on doctrine.
 * Material must be proportionate to what is found in the source cited. If a source makes a small claim and presents two larger counter claims, the material it supports should present one claim and two counter claims instead of presenting the one claim as extremely large while excluding or downplaying the counter claims.
 * We do not give equal validity to topics which reject and are rejected by mainstream academia. For example, our article on Earth does not pretend it is flat, hollow, and/or the center of the universe.

Your ineffectual "proposals" to delete Instrument of Jesus' crucifixion and Category:Islamic mythology are utterly devoid of any policy based reason. As much as I like Obama, it is hard for me to not see this post as trolling. Wikipedia does not take sides with regard to religious or political belief. It sticks to mainstream academic and journalistic sources even if they report things we wish did not exist. Ian.thomson (talk) 04:55, 14 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Wow, all of this attention just because I taught some crackers that Jesus was NOT crucified according to the word of God? -Teetotaler 19 May, 2015

This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment; or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png) located above the edit window.

Clarity to understand
You mentioned that the Quran teaches that Jesus was not crucified. Does that mean Jesus was not killed? or does that mean that Jesus was killed but not on the cross? &mdash; Jason Sosa  16:12, 19 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Right, Jasonsosa, the Quran teaches that Jesus was not killed. Surah 4:157  If there is good news, this is the best news!  -Teetotlaer 19 May, 2015


 * What happened to Jesus then?  &mdash;  Jason Sosa  16:32, 19 May 2015 (UTC)


 * You might want to read the Holy Quran to find out. After all, it is the word of God, not the uninspired word of some Tom, Dick, Harry, Matthew, Luke, or Larry.  -Teetotaler 19 May, 2015
