[edit] your revert

First of all, welcome to Wikipedia. Even though you've been an editor for several months, it looks like nobody has yet formally welcomed you. Some pages that you may find helpful, if you haven't found them already, are:

I have some comments about this revert of my edit to Mermaid. First, I feel that the edit summary, which calls my edit "nonsense", is dangerously similar to a personal attack. So I would suggest you phrase edit summaries a bit more carefully in the future. This will defuse a surprising amount of wiki-tension (which we have here in Wikipedia in quantity these days).

Second, Starbucks consistently describes its logo as a siren, not as a mermaid or even a melusine. Now their interpretation may well be odd, but unless there is a notable critic who says that the logo is really a melusine, we don't have any ground to assert in the article that it really is a melusine (since Wikipedia articles are not permitted to promote particular interpretations).

I hope this makes the reasons for my edit clearer to you. Michael Slone (talk) 16:50, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Paranormal

If you'll check our project page, you'll see that Cryptozoology is covered under our project criteria, and thus any page, such as the St Augustine Monster, suspected to be the carcass of the Giant Octopus cryptid, is within our area. Additionally, I don't at all appreciate your implication that my tagging has been 'indescriminate'. --InShaneee 02:23, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Anomalous is NOT a synonym for..."

The Paranormal Wikiproject has by nature of the similar draw of the subjects of Anomalistics and Parapsychology...that is to say, the Unexplained aspects of both forms of study...been drawn into incorporating both into its sphere of subjects. The monster you state was in fact mundanely explainable was, indeed, in fact just that...but that does not take away from the need of the Project to give a encyclopedic reference to the subject, as someone may hear about it what with it being labeled a "monster." Be aware likewise that "Paranormal" literally means "other than normal" to society's eyes and that whatever other definitions a page or pages may fall under, they are most certainly those in the end. --Chr.K. 15:33, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
