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

I am very quickly losing my rag on this one

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 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 ...
