Thanks for that tip. Yes, I will learn how to use it, since everything I do uses math - I mean when I am not fighting off rabid currs nipping at my cuffs. Can one put pictures and sound in as well?

Yes, back to Uncle Ed. There are matters of general policy here:

1. Defamatory words like ""crank"", ""kook"", ""crackpot"" should be banned by Wikipedia as they are literally used in the commission of hate crimes against dissident minorities. They EMOTIONALLY mean the same as ""Kike"", ""Nigger"", ""FAGGOT"" et-al. I and others like Nobel Prize winner Brian Josephson are persecuted for daring to write about the paranormal, about consciousness, about UFOS, about cold fusion (Brian's interest). We are automatically stereotyped as ""kooks"" by clueless fearful generally intellectual inferiors who mistake their inability to understand what is on the page as our fault. Rather than they rising to us, we are to stoop to their low level of achievement and keep away from Taboo Topics. Is that a Free Society? How is that better than 7th Century Talabanism? We dissident physicists and there are many in the closet are treated as second-class citizens without the same rights that the majority like CH pretends to stand for keep for themselves in a double standard.
One can say ""Jack Sarfatti's ideas are highly original and advanced and not easily understood by the majority of people who reject them."" Something like that is accurate. If one says something negative then they must justify it with a precise quote with a name otherwise it is simply vicious defamation. It is simply a hate crime on the WEB. We live in a SYMBOLIC INFO NATION in CYBERSPACE. Words are everything. WORDS are WEAPONS! Soon Internet Law will evolve and the kinds of defamations of my character seen on these pages by dillettantes will be judged as HATE CRIMES like beating up a Gay Man or lynching a Black Man used to be.  How can anyone reading my words, looking at my math, so insult me as to call me a such words as ""crank"". Why not say what you really mean deep down which is ""Jack Sarfatti is a Jew""? Do I sound like Shylock in The Merchant of Venice?

2. Flaky internet sources like Alt.Kooks, Crank.Dot.Net should not be cited to debase and humiliate anyone deemed worthy enough to have a page in Wiki. They are cultural PORNOGRAPHY of no redeeming social value.

3. Critiques should be COMPETENT, as DSiegel's is not when he cites Martin Gardner. A solid TEXTUAL justification is required like one must do as a grad student learning to do PhD research.

The basic issue here is QUALITY CONTROL, ACCURACY, FAIRNESS, JUSTICE.
