Welcome from Maveric149

Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need any questions answered about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. BTW, I wrote most of the Davis, California article -- any expansion or edits by you would be much appreciated. Cheers! --maveric149

Thanks for the welcome, maveric149. I've encountered a substantial number of familiar and noteworthy bylines here, but I'm still in semi-lurk mode, doing my best to familiarize myself with Wikipea editing and determine what (and who) Wikipedia has in common with other online communities.

It's too early to say for certain, but my plan for right now is to use Wikipedia as a general reference resource which I can link to on the fly, contributing content whenever I encounter a substantial void in the coverage of important topics. -- NetEsq

No Legal Opinions or Legal Advice from NetEsq

What is exactly for your standard disclaimer "this is not a legal opinion"? --AN

Whenever I answer a question which is legal in nature, or a question which has a legal component, there is the danger that someone may construe my answer as legal advice which an attorney would give his or her clients. By stating "this is not a legal opinion," I am cautioning people that they should not rely upon my opinions in this way. Rather, if people think that they need legal advice, they should retain an attorney. A useful byproduct of this disclaimer is an increased alertness to the dubious nature of legal advice which is offered in informal settings.--NetEsq

Tnx for the format

Tnx for the orderly format of your talk page. This is like the reception room of a prosperous attorney, instead of a noisy gymnasium. [smile] --Jerzy 17:33, 2003 Oct 27 (UTC)

Ignore all credentials

I would support the elevation of that to a more fundamental position of respect within the community.

I actually suspect that the problem of people inappropriately relying on credentials in an argument is much more likely in cases where people are faking the credentials. Actual PhDs are not normally pompous jerks, they are actually well trained intellectuals who have devoted themselves to a life of rational discussion and debate, and they know quite well that "I have PhD so STFU" is not a valid argument. It's the fake PhDs who are likely to try that nonsense.--Jimbo Wales 07:19, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jimbo logic

I made my commentary due to "Jimbo said..." being a bit of an appeal to authority as well.... :-) In effect if one abides by this guideline and it is taken to heart Jimbo's credentials should be ignored in debates also. :-) (→Netscott) 19:29, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was a clean bust. If adopted as a guideline or policy, IAC will invite many of the same paradoxes that IAR invites. // Internet Esquire 19:33, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

:-) Indeed. Thanks for responding. (→Netscott) 19:35, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mmm, nice degrees you're boasting of there...

Are they fakes? More seriously, I like IAC, and see it as complementary to a voluntary option to provide verification if you want to. In any event, Ill disregard your claimed degrees. All the best, .. dave souza, talk 21:33, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Back burner

I've made a decision to clean up my User Talk Page by creating an archive entitled "Back burner." If and when I move content from here to there, it will be because I don't consider it timely, important, or interesting enough to keep here and/or because I simply don't have the time to respond to it adequately and won't be responding to it anytime soon. At the same time, I don't feel comfortable just deleting such content. // Internet Esquire 19:56, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

Hi there, Netesq, it's Acalamari. Nearly four years ago, you were the last supporter of my unsuccessful first RfA. You may be wondering why I'm mentioning this now, but I recently came across your name after not seeing it for a long time, and remembered you from back then (I remember that week pretty well!). As such, I wanted to pop by, say hi, and to mention that I hope everything's good with you. Best. Acalamari 11:30, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to join the Ten Year Society

Dear Netesq,

I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Ten Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for ten years or more.

Best regards, — Hex (❝?!❞) 23:27, 8 March 2013 (UTC).[reply]

Article upgrade assistance request (Pre-translation stage)

Seasons Greetings,

Hi, i obsrved you have supported article Anthropology of religion well enough. I am looking for support for a relatively new umbrella article on en-wikipedia named Ceremonial pole. Undersigned seeks your help specially to improve defenition and lead sections of the article.

Ceremonial pole is a human tradition since ancient times; either existed in past at some point of time, or still exists in some cultures across global continents from north to south & from east to west. Ceremonial poles are used to symbolize a variety of concepts in several different world cultures.

Through article Ceremonial pole we intend to take encyclopedic note of cultural aspects and festive celebrations and dances around Ceremonial pole as an umbrella article and want to have historical, mythological, anthropological aspects, reverence or worships wherever concerned as a small part.

While Ceremonial poles have a long past and strong presence but usually less discussed subject. Even before we seek translation of this article in global languages, we need to have more encyclopedic information/input about Ceremonial poles from all global cultures and languages. And we seek your assistance in the same.

Since other contributors to the article are insisting for reliable sources and Standard native english; If your contributions get deleted (for some reason like linguistics or may be your information is reliable but unfortunately dosent match expectations of other editors) , please do list the same on Talk:Ceremonial pole page so that other wikipedians may help improve by interlanguage collaborations, and/or some other language wikipedias may be interested in giving more importance to reliablity of information over other factors on their respective wikipedia.

This request is made to you since culture related topics may be of intrest to you.

Thanking you with warm regards
