Epistemic Theory of Miracles, St Augustine and Baruch Spinoza "not notable" Options

[Peter Damian]

I am very quickly losing my rag on this one

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...&action=history

And here

Don't put these stupid tags on articles that are under development, and which will be well-referenced, and which are important in relation to the Western philosophical tradition. Stick to garage bands or something. Peter Damian (talk) 12:05, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

I predict that the next step is nominating Augustine and Spinoza for "lack of notability".....

I think it's funny that the AFD nominator has "I am tired of the ongoing levels of drama on Wikipedia" on his User page.

Peter, instead of working to develop new content amidst such a hostile environment, why don't you author your articles on some other, more inviting wiki forum, release it under the terms of the GFDL, then copy it wholesale into Wikipedia, so that it looks completely polished from the get-go?

Then, your new work also has the advantage of multiple Google hits, instead of just one.

These little e-pis-odes by repete e-fendi like Re*Peter Demian always remind me of that old Satyrdei Nite Live bit with the repeting punch-line, "I Hate It When That Happens".

Remember?

Why is it OK for these dicks to leave that rude 'stop' hand sign on your talk page, but not OK to complain about it? (Jon Awbrey need not reply).

[edit] Now blanked talk page. Time for Wikipedia rehab. I suggested the idea some time ago. When you go on a binge, decent people like friends and family send you off to some clinic where you can be talked out of your addiction in reasonable ways. Someone please help.

Well possibly. Or (see my user page now) just walk away. I have a deadline on Monday for an abstract for a conference paper, and the conference is quite important (most of the great medievalists will be there) so time to do that. That in the end is probably a better way to contribute to human knowledge and help Africans.

I don't think you played the game very well. If you are going to play the game you need to know the rules. On Wikipedia building an encyclopaedia is of secondary importance.

Just do what I do. Develop all the new stuff in a user space sandbox page, then just hit the Move button. Keeps the RC nitwits out of it.

Peter Damien's attempts to steer Wikipedia in the direction of a respectable scholarly project have been "Stifled":

Why should I? That is not the solution to the problem of a place run not by the business, but the people whom the business should employ to protect the people in the building. It is meant to be an encyclopedia, and there is no point working there until it is run like an encyclopedia.

Amazingly, "Stifle" was nominated for and passed adminship as an expert on deletion:

He is an expert in AFD and I think he has an excellent grasp of deletion and other policy.

He has an excellent grasp on how to stifle debate and stifle editors with less power and other opinions. Stifle, for whom I have no use at all (being an inclusionist) may be the most well-named amin since Can't Sleep, Clown Will Eat Me (who apparently never slept, and finally got eaten).

I note that Wikipedia is using the recent $3m grant from the Sloan Foundation to increase Wikipedia quality by attracting academics. Or rather, in its charming Wikipedian/North Korean way, to 'teach' them how to contribute to the project.

One of the projects which will be supported with the Sloan grant is a software feature called Flagged Revisions, which will allow experienced editors to publicly and visibly grade the quality status of articles -- in effect, functioning as a kind of "nutrition labeling" for Wikipedia content. In coming years, Wikimedia also plans to significantly expand outreach events such as Wikipedia Academy, designed to increase Wikipedia's quality by teaching academics, older people, and other targeted groups how to contribute. Another goal is the distribution of educational content from Wikipedia and its sister projects in non-web-based formats such as DVDs and books, to reach people who are not online.

I think #1 priority for the coming months is to discover who in the Sloan Foundation is responsible for overseeing this whopping great grant. I have more than enough material now to turn a few heads ...

[ThurstonHowell3rd]

I don't see how any other result could be expected. An admin versus a non-admin where the admin is following the letter of the Afd policy. (regardless of whether or not there is a violation of the spirit of the policy).
