QUOTE Get a clue … Here's a few — http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?showforum=62 Try to imagine a Congress where 3 or 4 members can get together in the dead of night and ban members who oppose their POV — that's the sort of “collaboration” they have in Wikipediot Land. — Jonny Cache, 19 Oct 2010 |

QUOTE(thekohser @ Tue 19th October 2010, 2:42pm) It's just awful. The usual sort of φøøtile discussion … QUOTE Wikipedism is the mess of practices that it is. Anyone who proposes those practices, as they are in reality and not in some wishful fantasy, as a model for solving social problems is either seriously lacking in acquaintance with the realities of what goes on in Wikipedia or just hasn't bothered to think it through. At any rate, that would be the charitable interpretation. — Jonny Cache, 19 Oct 2010 Enuff o' dat … Jon  |

"I taught conflict management and a lot of this stuff is relevant and germane to conflict management." Reagle, who will present on his work at the Berkman Center today, argues that the way Wikipedia users think about their project has its roots in the utopian visions of H.G. Wells ..... That'd be the H.G.Wells who was a fan of Eugenics ? http://reason.com/archives/2002/03/26/euge...-a-time-machine QUOTE Wells plays a particularly interesting role in the eugenics movement. In 1904 he discussed a survey paper by Francis Galton, co-founder of eugenics. Galton had concerned himself mainly with "positive eugenics," proposing for instance that the marriage of college professors, supposedly the best of the race, be subsidized. A.virosa |
