Zeno
I appreciate the good will of your entry. I'm afraid that your email address is insufficient as a citation; see Wikipedia's standards for a reliable source and exclusion of original research. It would also help if you checked over a proposed contribution with someone secure in the English language; it can be difficult to understand sentences written in grammatically uneven prose. I'd like to help you understand how to edit in line with Wikipedia's standards; feel free to contact me at my talk page. hgilbert (talk) 19:19, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Your thoughts on Zeno's paradox are interesting. The way to bring these into the article would be to find support for them from a published source - say, a book on philosophy. Then these thoughts could be introduced with citations to the source. In the process, you might find that you were rewording the paragraph through meeting others' work - or not, as the case may be. In any case, this would allow you to introduce the ideas you mention in an encyclopedia format. hgilbert (talk) 13:19, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is not able to offer a peer-review of contributors' work; it is an encyclopedia, not a journal. For that reason, contributors' original thoughts should first be published in a journal or book; then the work can be referenced here. An encyclopedia simply has a different function than a journal! Please understand that this is a limitation that we have to respect, and see the above guidelines again. hgilbert (talk) 11:20, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
