Hi, would you please take a look at WP:ENGVAR? It's really uncalled for to change British English into American English with the edit summaries you used (referring to 'dumb persons'). Beside that, welcome to Wikipedia! Oliphaunt 22:52, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello, C++ Template, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might find helpful:

We're so glad you're here!
There's various forums for discussions, but Wikipedia isn't one of them. Wikipedia is for encyclopedia articles, and the talk pages are for that end only.-- Prosfilaes 15:15, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
You left the following note on my talk page:
I am not sure I understand what you are asking for. The text that I removed from Talk:Ada (programming language) was this:
Talk pages for articles are forums for discussion of ways to improve the respective articles, they are not forums for general discussion about the subjects of the respective articles. If you want to discuss the advantages or disadvantages of C++ over Ada you would have to go to a forum like comp.lang.ada or comp.lang.c++. — Tobias Bergemann 15:51, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Addendum: If you would like to respond to what I wrote above, please do so on this page instead of my talk page, so that our exchange won't be split to two different pages. Thanks in advance. — Tobias Bergemann 15:55, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Are you saying that it's against Wikipedia policy to have a conversation? Isn't that what we're doing right now? C++ Template 00:10, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
The very first sentences of the Wikipedia talk page guidelines read:
It is not against Wikipedia policy to have a conversation if the conversation is on-topic: talk about ways to improve an article on the article's talk page, talk about ways to improve the work of a user on that user's talk page. Wikipedia is a wiki (or rather a family of wikis), but it is not a free-for-all. — Tobias Bergemann 08:25, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Addendum: removing warnings from one's own talk page is often frowned upon. — Tobias Bergemann 08:32, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Once upon a time, long time ago, I tried to improve Ajax article. Since them I haven't looked at it at all - maybe it is better. But I noticed a change that you wanted to make and a comment. Let me tell you - unfortulatelly, you are wrong. AJAX does, in fact, stand for "Async JavaScript and XML" simply by virtue of a guy who coined it. Since then we have started to accept it for its deeper meaning and not its face value but it is what it is :( Aleksandar Šušnjar 03:05, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
