Let me explain my actions. I was testing something for personal use. I wanted to see how the editor worked when you changed one character. I noticed that if you erase one put in the same type, it wouldn't show up on recent changes. I then realize that there was a loop hole in the system. If I could erase and put the same, why couldn't I put in something else? Good thing for us I shows up when you do that. I wanted to see if I was possible for a vandal to use this method to vandalize. --Nlawrence 21:00, 15 September 2007 (EDT)

America

No problem Mdotley, I am happy to help in anyway on CreationWiki! --Tony Sommer 14:45, 21 September 2007 (EDT)

COPPA

Does this website permit posting of personally identifiable information for users under 13 years old? ~ MD Otley (talk) 03:05, 10 October 2007 (EDT)

There is currently no policy prohibiting it. --Mr. Ashcraft - (talk) 12:41, 10 October 2007 (EDT)

I found it.

As you can see, I found where a certain user-who-shall-remain-nameless had moved your Talk page to, and managed to move it back.--Temlakos^Talk 11:28, 11 October 2007 (EDT)

Excellent! You are a jewel among SysOps.  :-) ~ MD Otley (talk) 12:03, 11 October 2007 (EDT)

Well, maybe I'm an industrial diamond, sharpened and tempered by experience--elsewhere, in case anyone is wondering.--Temlakos^Talk 12:28, 11 October 2007 (EDT)

Insertions

The answer to your question is both. Even if you add noise to a page, you are still adding information. It may be usefull information, it may not. in terms of genetics, it is more like adding a random 1 or 0 to the binary of this page. A single insertion will destroy the page, as you will have a frame shift. However, if you add 8 at once, you might be producing a character that has a random effect.

It may be noise, but it is still information.

In my opinion, insertions have the potential to add random information, but the ratio of chance between harm and good is huge. you need to have an insertion that places 3 nucleotides ( 3,6,9,) and it can not make a stop codon by accident, and it can not destroy a stop codon. You are basicly adding an amino acid in this case, which usually will cause the protein to denature, rendering it useless.

The point is that this is theory, and I am trying to find a visual representation of an insertion event, as I cant seem to on youtube.--Tylerdemerchant 18:13, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
