:You're welcome! Yes I have come across him before but thanks for the warning anyway. I have been editing Wikipedia since its first year and can say that throughout its short history, eccentrics have often picked on it as a venue to present their unusual ideas. It's the basic reason why we introduced our No Original Research policy. Unfortunately Physics and History articles were  and are  particularly prone to attracting such people. We have in the past lost some excellent academic historians as a result of burnout fighting off eccentrics, some of whom can be extremely unpleasant when crossed. I am sorry to hear that LL has left such a message on your talk page and can only be glad that at least he remains relatively polite. Please don't be put off by such comments. Just remember that the great majority of those involved in editing Scottish topics are extremely pleased by your contributions and will support your efforts to the hilt. We want you to stay.   |
