Well done, sir. Sadly I shall not be back. Although I suspect there is just a touch of self-interest there as he is now seeing what it is like to take care of that article. Not one but two nutcases have descended on the article. One is arguing that the Greek philosophers were really African.

In reality, it is proven to be known that Egyptian philosophy was the first philosophy in existence. Several reputable sources(one being a book by the name of Stolen Legacy by George G.M. James) have clearly stated that Greek philosophy came from Egyptian philosophy.

However, the subject had existed before amongst the Indo-Iranians by the name of Mazad-Yasna, meaning worship of wisdom. <Ref>Oxford dictionary of philosophy, page409.
This latter one constantly inserts edits without any attempt at discussion. Someone reverts here
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=222606175with the comment "Rv. Will an admin to something here???". Look: there are no admins here. Remember the bit near the end of Apocalypse now where they reach the bridge and Charlie is everywhere, and they ask where is the commanding officer. The dude replies 'There ain't no fuckin' CO'
