User talk:Simon Fisher

Welcome!

Hello, Simon Fisher, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at Naming Conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.

Additional tips:

Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:

If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language

Happy editing!

Environmental ethics[edit]

Thanks for your work on environmental ethics. I have some questions for you if you ever have the time. --Viriditas | Talk 05:51, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me. I've added an environmental ethics section to Terraforming that I was hoping you could either help expand or clarify on that page, as well as incorporate into the main article, environmental ethics. If you have any questions about the current content on Terraforming, let me know. --Viriditas | Talk 05:34, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Ah, I knew that our correspondence would be fruitful. Thank you for reminding me of Lovelock, as I had completely forgotten about his controversial hypothesis, which is often overshadowed by the rigorous work of McKay, which was published two years earlier than Lovelock's The Greening of Mars. Nevertheless, I will incorporate this information into the terraforming article. I hope you don't mind, but I might have some more questions later. --Viriditas | Talk 23:04, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
