== Thanks ==

Thank you so much for the information and the Welcome. I have used Wikipedia for some time, but have never did any edits. Hopefully I will pick up the etiquette and formats in quick order.

Take care. sunpacer 08:58, 3 January 2010 (UTC) <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Kpsullivan1967|Kpsullivan1967]] ([[User talk:Kpsullivan1967|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kpsullivan1967|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Lift (force) ==
I am a professional pilot and a flight instructor. On your reversal of my post to LIFT, I disagree that the next section is the same explanation. And where it is similiar, it is not as clearly stated, not to mention that you eliminated some powerful representations of lift that help people to understand it. [[User:Psycano|Psycano]] ([[User talk:Psycano|talk]]) 01:19, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
: Hello Psycano, I apologize if I removed your text by mistake. But from I read, the 2 sections (yours and the one already there) seemed pretty similar and talked about the same thing, Newton's laws. I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say that the next section is not the same explanation. Is there something wrong the existing section? Because technically, there should be only one section explaining the lift force with Newton's laws, not 2 or 3. If you think your edits should be put back, I suggest that you merge your text with the existing section instead of creating a separate one. Please make sure to always explain your changes by using the [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]]. --[[User:McSly|McSly]] ([[User talk:McSly#top|talk]]) 06:29, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

== QUESTION ==

Hi, McSly. Thanks for your message. Since I'm new to Wiki, can you tell me how exactly do I join a talk page?
Thanks <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:TomahawkHunter|TomahawkHunter]] ([[User talk:TomahawkHunter|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/TomahawkHunter|contribs]]) 01:58, 18 January 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
: Hello, each article on wikipedia has an associated talk page where editors can discuss changes to be done to the article. You can access it by clicking on the "Talk" tab that you see on top of every article or user page. It's actually what you just used by leaving a message here. Here is the link to the [[Talk:People's Liberation Army Air Force|People's Liberation Army Air Force talk page]] where you can discuss with other about that specific article. I think most of the changes you made are good but without the links working it couldn't really stay as is. Please remember to always [[WP:RS|cite your sources]] properly and if you delete anything already on an article, always explain why in the edit summary so other editors know what is going on. Oh, last thing, always add <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end of your messages to sign. --[[User:McSly|McSly]] ([[User talk:McSly#top|talk]]) 02:17, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

== McSly's oppression of truth and freedom ==

How is speaking one's mind and voicing the concerns of a frustrated and tired nation the same as mindless vandalism??? if censorship can spread to the far reaches of the internet, including this website which is supposed to support free thinking, then what hope have we of ever being able to freely open our minds??????? i await your reply with earnest trepidation and baited breath. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/188.220.69.249|188.220.69.249]] ([[User talk:188.220.69.249|talk]]) 05:13, 19 January 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
: There is no [[WP:FREESPEECH|freedom of speech]] on wikipedia. There was never meant to be, in fact. There are rules about what you can and can't post here. [[User:Dayewalker|Dayewalker]] ([[User talk:Dayewalker|talk]]) 05:15, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
::Hello, Wikipedia has a strong policy on [[WP:OR|original research]]. Shortly put, we can't have any. That's why I removed your text. To be added it will have to be published in a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] first. Only then you can insert it here. I'm afraid these'are the rules and they are the same for everyone. --[[User:McSly|McSly]] ([[User talk:McSly#top|talk]]) 05:17, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

surely all research is original at some point. there is so much information on here that is highly suspect when intellectually reviewed. I can't understand Wikipedia's view that information can be deleted if it does not conform to their highly questionable ideals and rules.{{unsigned|188.220.69.249}}
:Could you explain to me what are the specific rules that should apply to your edit [http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Ballpoint_pen&action=historysubmit&diff=338692604&oldid=337776753 here] ?. And again, as Dayewalker mentioned above, there is no [[WP:FREESPEECH|freedom of speech]] on wikipedia. --[[User:McSly|McSly]] ([[User talk:McSly#top|talk]]) 05:28, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

The rules? I operate by the simple of rule of being allowed to offer a different side to the information that is being broadcast, whether rightly or wrongly, on this website. People come here to see new explanations and develop their own personal learning experience. With any experience surely one side of an argument or view is not enough to offer a balanced side. I simply apply the rule and logic that my edits offer alternative information to those who seek it. Why should this be censored or disregarded just because it does not fit in with the 'norms' that usually govern this site??? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/188.220.69.249|188.220.69.249]] ([[User talk:188.220.69.249|talk]]) 05:34, 19 January 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:See that [[WP:FREESPEECH|page]]. It's very informative. --[[User:McSly|McSly]] ([[User talk:McSly#top|talk]]) 05:40, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

It's only informative if your a sheep who can't break away from the mold. I'm not trying to break the system or anything but I just can't understand the need to repress people who offer an alternative or simply different view. That isn't free speech, it's common sense. There are always two sides to a coin, surely only showing one side lowers the respectability of a website that preaches knowledge. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/188.220.69.249|188.220.69.249]] ([[User talk:188.220.69.249|talk]]) 05:45, 19 January 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

: The only side of a coin, or whatever other analogy you'd like to apply, that belongs on wikipedia is one backed by [[WP:RS|reliable sources]]. Your additions were largely gibberish, so they've been reverted. Arguing about it here won't help, as any editor who saw what you were adding would have reverted you. There's nothing more to be gained here, so good luck in the future. [[User:Dayewalker|Dayewalker]] ([[User talk:Dayewalker|talk]]) 05:49, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Reliable sources? says who? since when has wikipedia been a reliable source?? reliable sources can be disputed by anyone, but apparently not here. if opposing a website that oppresses those who argue a 'reliable' source then surely this creates an unreliable source. it goes as far to back up my original argument that wikipedia is an oppressive system, deleting and censoring those who don't agree with anything it says. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/188.220.69.249|188.220.69.249]] ([[User talk:188.220.69.249|talk]]) 05:54, 19 January 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
