April 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Ray Kurzweil, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. You really need a third party source showing that Vinge came up with the idea first. Thank you. Ian.thomson (talk) 18:49, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But this is general knowledge. Here are numerous external sources citing Vernor Vinge as the creator of the concept of the technological singularity: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=3688559863916355898&as_sdt=2005&sciodt=0,5&hl=en Quiname (talk) 19:29, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

...and it is wp:OR. Also, please give a read to wp:talk. Please focus on the article content, rather than your personal feelings such as "this is general knowledge" and techniques used by "spin doctors".Shajure (talk) 20:47, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kurzweil talk behaviour and content

In reference to the talk page: wp:talk, wp:assume good faith, wp:pillars... all good reading.
In reference to the content: wp:OR, wp:reliable sources, wp:undue might help.

But really, I would encourage you to seek advice from a heavily experienced WP editor not involved in these edits. Shajure (talk) 20:02, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
