Why would I want to list everyone's full name? Lirath Q. Pynnor
- I found it hard to work out who the authors are. I expect others would, too. Also for clarity, why not refer to Blair (a.k.a. Orwell)? I've fixed a link on your page to the book which currently links to the year.
I looked at your recent edit on this page and noticed that you left embedded questions in html comments. This is probably not the best way of doing so, since most users will not notice those comments.
Better to discuss things you find questionable on Talk:Avro Jetliner if you want to put it up for general discussion, or on an individual contributor's talk page if you want to discuss with an individual. That way, people are more likely to notice and respond. —Morven 20:37, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks for the suggestion, Morven. I prefer just to add comments inline, but I'll point out what I've done on the talk pages in future. TBH, sometimes I won't bother; if someone's that interested in an article, they'll add it to their watch list and review edits as they come up. Mr. Jones 20:41, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Indian rope trick
Nice edit:-) theresa knott 16:11, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Artificial Intelligence
I like your new intro but it does deny a Strong AI view that AI could end up building itself. How about saying that artificial means "does not arise natuarally" rather than "made by humans"? Paul Beardsell 03:34, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- I did consider that, but that is not the meaning of the word artificial. I suggest stating it explicitly. I'll have another stab in a moment. Mr. Jones 03:42, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- I looked into it, and actually the word artificial could justifiably be said to encompass AIs built by other AIs. What do you think of the new wording? Mr. Jones 04:05, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)
What if the AI machine were assembled by Martians? Perhaps the bit after "manufactured" could be deleted? I reckon manuscript can be written by robots so maybe manufacture can be performed by them. In homage(!) to man. Or it could be "however so manufactured". Or "created". But that opens another can of worms. If I found it so damn easy I would do the edit myself and not be encouraging you to!

Would I like to iterate? Yes, yes yes! But your version is better. Paul Beardsell 15:45, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Ain't I a woman comments...
I saw your comments on my talk page. Are you sure they were meant for me? I can't recall ever editing the article. --Robert Merkel 00:34, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
