Charles Sanders Peirce, Who Trashes My Steels Options

[Jonny Cache]

Our blissèd holidays from the vine-withering attentions of Certain Desecrative Individuals have permitted a few aficionados and brave aficionadas to thaw the once proud Wikipedia article on Charles Sanders Peirce from its eldritch and gellid grave.

Now I think you all know — this Critic has grown too much the Cynic to be shouting in the streets and springing for hope eternal, not at the expense of disbursing boons from the depths of his own private peirce, er, purse, just yet. But it does behoove him — and you know how much Old Teχians love to be behooved — to keep one Eye of Texas on the ensuing developments, whichaway they go.

Just a few bits of minor news to report on the Pers-ian front. Ben Udell has been doing a lot of nice work on the CSP and CSP BIB articles. No two Persians agree about everything, but at least his able biblesitting will keep the worst howlers off the top of the Search Engine Offal (SEO) that we all know and loathe, and that takes a load off my shudders when it comes to keeping watch over that. I do wish he'd learn to read edit histories, though, as he seems to be labouring under the absurdly bee-knighted impression that SlimVirgin did him some kind of favour, when it was she who reverted 3 months worth of his earlier contributions and branded him and blocked him as a puppet of me in the first place!

Oh well, you can't have everything …

Indeed. There's a genuine sense of relief when you check an article you've worked hard at but have given up on to find that someone else is saving the material in your absence. I've had to stop checking some of my best articles, a few of which took me many months to compile. I know that if I even glance at them now I'll be filled with a terrible need to re-enter that horrible place out of a sense of moral duty. Such is the awful pull of Der Jimbo's grand folly.

As I have written elsewhere, one such article which I considered I personal triumph of the will is now so badly vandalised I actually had to laugh. Bits of it were in a different language, comically stolen from another Wikipedia, and it had a template added by one wag taken from WP's internal structure appearing mid-sentence!

Here's a tip. When you have articles that you created and did most of the work on up to a certain version, then you can fork that version over to Centiare. If you want to maintain your own point of view on the subject, then you can fork it over to your very own directory space. If you want to leave it open for future collaboration, then you can fork it over to the main space. Even articles that you didn't do all the significant work on can still be forked over to the main space under GFDL. Of course, you can always put your own original work in your own directory space any time you want. It's the best of all possible worlds.
