Welcome to Wikipedia!

[edit]

Hello Dilaudid~enwiki, welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips:

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alphax τεχ 14:13, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Alphax.--Dilaudid 01:35, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Two envelopes problem

[edit]

I've followed your discussion on the two envelopes problem page. The problem is that one editor (talk) keeps claiming that this is an unsolved problem. Typically he provides "sources" that either say the opposite, or discuss a very specific, obscure variant of the paradox (typically involving infinity somehow). The general case is of course trivial and solved. I tried to find a consensus (ie. "certain variants of the problem still cause discussion, mostly in philosophical circles") but alas - to no avail. I don't think the article can be corrected without action against talk; he reverts everything back to "unsolved problem". It's very embarrassing; the article is a good example of how Wikipedia's consensus model can totally break down. Tomixdf (talk) 16:37, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey mate, I partly agree - but I also have to concede he might have a point - I think he is arguing about a different point to us. See what I said in the talk. Have you had a look at the St petersberg paradox article? That was contentious for a while, but it seems very well written now. Perhaps we can work with Martin to try and get the 2 envelopes problem under control. Dilaudid (talk) 17:55, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I tried reading some of the articles that caused my doubts, the ones cited in the article. They are rubbish (they are talking about using a brownian ratchet, probably because their st petersberg variation didn't confuse things quite enough). Dilaudid (talk) 15:41, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mediation Cabal: Request for participation

[edit]

Dear Dilaudid: Hello. This is just to let you know that you've been mentioned in the following request at the Mediation Cabal, which is a Wikipedia dispute resolution initiative that resolves disputes by informal mediation.

The request can be found at Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/13 November 2011/Usage share of operating systems.

Just so you know, it is entirely your choice whether or not you participate. If you wish to do so, and we'll see what we can do about getting this sorted out. At MedCab we aim to help all involved parties reach a solution and hope you will join in this effort.

If you have any questions relating to this or any other issue needing mediation, you can ask on the case talk page, the MedCab talk page, or you can ask the mediator, thehistorian10, at their talk page. MedcabBot (talk) 20:58, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
