Hi,Blurgezig!
Welcome to Wikipedia!
The following guidelines should be of assistance in your editing:
1) Always respect other editors, respecting their dignity and viewpoints, no more matter how radically they may differ with your own! (Not all editors observe this priority!)It's much wiser to say, "I understand where you're coming from" than to simply say, "You are wrong!"
2) Wikipedia is not a forum for personal points of view, but aims to be objective.(In fact "veritability" weights more strongly than "fact" in Wikipedia. ALWAYS quote your sources!
3) Sign In! Always sign your posts with four tildes (70.53.56.195 (talk) 02:31, 7 March 2009 (UTC)), and BE SURE to summarize your edits in the "Edit Summary" box!
4) Many agreed abbreviations are used at Wikipedia (e.g., POV = Point of View). You'll gradually get to know the abbreviations.
5) Some abbreviations are "tags", which place specific notices on Articles. You can also use them to add "user-boxes" to your home page.
6) Of course, many question will arise regarding Wikipedia editing! You can call on me, or an Administrator! (You get also find help in Wikipedia's endless pages of guidelines.) To request the help of an administrator, use you own Discussion Page, and simple type: ((help)), using (( )) in place of regular brackets. "I need help in a dispute at Musical Instruments article", (or whatever). An Administrator will be with you very quickly!
7) When responding to a comment, use : to indent each paragraph. (For a response to a response, use :: which will produce a further indent.
I hope you enjoy your work at Wikipedia! Being both a teacher and a musician, no doubt, your contributions will be highly valued!
No doubt, you will be receiving an "offical" welcome from Wikipedia!
Best 70.53.56.195 (talk) 02:31, 7 March 2009 (UTC) Sorry, I lost my sign-in! It should read: Prof.rick (talk) 02:36, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
You're claiming that Kastle indicates on his website that he and I are friends. We are not. What page does it say that on? Juri Koll (talk) 23:40, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
You're also trying to put words in Kastle's mouth by claiming that his website says that faking Liszt and making mistakes are the same thing. It doesn't say that at all. What page are you getting this from? Juri Koll (talk) 23:44, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
I said it "revealed" that. Claiming and revealing are not the same thing. Are you not also putting words in his mouth by claiming otherwise? From what you have said, you seem to know him very well. Blurgezig (talk) 04:22, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments at the Richard Kastle page. It is, after all, ridiculous to pay such close attention to a generally unrecognized pianist (not to mention his obnoxious attitude toward the great pianists of the past.) The Richard Kastle page now appears to be "sleeping", with less than 30 viewers. So let's leave it so! Thank you for your continued attention to this unwarranted Wikipedia Article.

No, Blurgezig, I am not insane! I am just sick to death of Juri Koll removing all my legitimate edits to Wikipedia, and corrupting my own talk page with lengthy essays based upon contortions of factual information.
I feel that my only choice is to close my own Wikipedia account!
Don't worry...I can still edit the Richard Kastle page, known only as an IP address! I stand by you on your mission, and commend your most valuable contributions to Wikipedia.
