User talk:Pythag3

Welcome!

Hi Pythag3, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!

Editing tutorial, learn to have fun with Wikipedia. Picture tutorial, instructions on uploading images. How to write a great article, to make it an featured article status. Manual of Style, how articles should be written.

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism. Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable. Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created. Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one. Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!

Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

Criticism of Noam Chomsky

Thanks for your comments. I agree that creating a separate article for criticisms of Chomsky is a good idea. I think we should probably keep discussing it with Chamaeleon on the Chomsky talk page, though.

"Unfortunately, much of the 'mainstream' historical literature, such as the books you cited, were written by people directly involved with the events and/or institutions they describe (e.g., Arthur Schlesinger)."

Which books are you referring to? For the section on my disagreements with Chomsky, I'm mostly citing Orwell and Hans Morgenthau (a friend of Chomsky's, like Chomsky a leading opponent of the Vietnam War). Russil Wvong 00:11, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
