You can find out more about Beings of light and the djinn. simply type in tinwiki djinn. debris765nju

not that points are my motivation, but what do you have to do to get "10,000 points" because it says "up to"

My entires so far are

philosopher's stone
magnum opus

what do you think

jkrog08: That is a really good submission. I am awarding you 3,500 pts. for the article on the tr-3b. Remember that articles that are formatted properly will reward more points. I will contact you on your user page and give you some tips on honing your tinWiki skills.

debris765nju: That is a really good effort on your part. I will also be contacting you on your discussion page. I will give you 3,500 pts. for your submission on the djinn.

Too both of you I apologize for the delay in getting you your points, I have been a little snowed under off line recently.

Andrew E. Wiggin, you are off to an excellent start on tinWiki. We still need to categorize your work, but I am hesitant to do so. I am thinking perhaps Alchemy deserves its own category. I am awarding you 7,000 pts. for your two articles. You asked "what does it take" to earn 10,000 pts. for an article. It just takes writing a well informed article about a subject that is properly formatted. I don't expect a masterpiece everytime, but you can take a look at some of IsaacKoi's for really exemplary submissions.

SpartanKingLeonidas: I am giving you 5,000 pts. for your submission on Lemmings.

Keep up the great work everybody.

Very good work. You are really honing your tinWiki skills as you go along.

I sent you a u2u informing you of your points award. Thanks and keep up the good work!

I'll make an honest effort to contribute a topic to TinWiki, but you need to realize that more points don't really matter after you have all you need. Throw me 500 on an applause and I'll be quite happy.

I'll do some research on what topics have been covered and try to add something original. At the very least I'll contribute to an article that is incomplete.

Put on your foil hat, I'm gonna try to figure out how TinWiki works.....

Points don't mean a lot too some people and they mean a lot to others, its all about Duality. People will do articles solely for points, others will do it because they want to contribute fully to TinWiki, there is always going to be some one who wants points, so it does get some people involved; and WOS is most generous with points

Hi WOS,

I'm interested in doing an article on the Allen Telescope Array and it's use for searching for alien life. I'm just not sure if this should be an addition to the existing SETI article or be written as a stand alone topic.

This new dedicated telescope has quite a bit of history, information on it's construction, it's current stage of construction, projected completion, plus information on the major funding from Paul Allen.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks
anx..........

I think it would be fine to create a new page about this and then create a link back to the SETI page in a "See Also" section. Maybe if we get enough of these types of articles we could give it its own section as far as categorizing it goes. Thats getting a little ahead of myself, for right now I think the subject merits its own page. Perhaps we could write a short paragraph about it and put that on the SETI page with a link back to the page you are going to create.

EDIT: Clarified a sentence

I seem to be a little lost........

I created a page I wanted to call "Allen Telescope Array" but the title came out as "Allen telescope".

I seemed to have buggered things up by cutting and pasting the article to a new page title. Now I have the same thing posted under two different titles.

I would like to delete the one called "Allen telescope" and keep the one called "Allen Telescope Array" but I can't figure out a way to delete an entire entry.

Sorry this first attempt is a little rough, but I'll figure things out as I go along.

In the mean time.
Help.....................





EDIT:

I deleted the text of the entry called "Allen telescope" but still can't remove the title.

That is a really good article you entered for your first submission. Excellent work!

As for deleting a page, you need to be an editor to do that, but it really is no problem. Any editor can do it for you with just a couple of clicks.

Thanks, and again: good job!

Thanks for the fix WOS, and thanks for the kudos....

I want to add some more information to the "Allen Telescope Array" topic and I hope others will to.
I may start a new one on the "Wow! signal" next, perhaps if enough articles on humanities attempt to contact aliens are submitted it will warrant it's own section as you suggested.

I will try to add another similar topic over Sunday.


I think I'm going to enjoy this new TinWiki thing.
(O.K., it's probably just new to me.....)
