I still find the arguments at User:Hillman (selected quotes available here, locally, as the original location has been removed by the author's request) to be disturbing, sensible, and very worrying, but I've come back to Wikipedia, at least for a while, so I'm re-adding the rest of the content of my user page. ;-) I encourage everyone who comes across this page to go read them, and think about them. As I understand them, the central point is that Wikipedia, along with many other cultural forces, are encouraging convenience over correctness, i.e. it's more important to find an answer than the best answer. The specifics, which are as important as the general issues, are that, even as the absolute number of excellent article revisions stored on Wikipedia increases, the percentage of non-misleading article revisions is decreasing; i.e. people who want to use Wikipedia to mislead others are having more and more sucess. This also is very disturbing to me, and causes me to strongly reconsider my participation in Wikipedia - it is not good work to do your part in polishing a building which is being increasingly taken over by filth. I would be better off submitting corrections to resources which are not suffering from this maledy. This is saddening. I would love to hear any rebuttals, or even mere comments of sympathy, on my talk page. JesseW, the juggling janitor 07:03, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Bit of code to copy over to my site when I get a chance:
cmd.exe /c "javac "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" || pause"

Good thing, to look at: User:Phil_Sandifer/Craft_of_Research
Look at this: -> -> --> User:Lupin/autoedit.js
I'm a janitor (see my RfA, and the log of my actions, and the log of any actions against me), although I generally try to avoid controversy.
Wikipedia:Recovering from Wikipediholism - Just in case.
Hello. I'm astonished and impressed with the quality of Wikipedia. I hope to help out, probably as some kind of WikiFaerie. I'm also involved with various other Wiki's. Do not click here. It will bring up an ALPB.
I'm a Los Angeles native, currently on leave from Reed College, in Portland, Oregon, USA. Besides working on Wikipedia, I enjoy contra dance, hacking, juggling, and science fiction, as well as various political work. I've also taken aikido from the Venice Japanese Community Center and the Oregon Ki Society.
You may find this amusing, if you are familar with SF TV shows.
Hm. As of 08:49, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC) 06:58, 20 July 2005 (UTC) I have 2647 edits.(via Kate's Tools) <shrug>. Oh.
I only fit one, not both, of the criteria for listing on the List of unemployed Discordians, even if I was notable. Thanks to User:A Man In Black for the idea of the list.
I think the Eternal September has come to Wikipedia and we are all going to go progressivly madder, but the GFDL makes it all okay, as we can start over somewhere else when we need to. -- 04:34, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
