Hello, I am a new user of Wikipedia. I spend most of my time editing articles to reduce systemic bias, and i plan to edit articles relating to philosophy. Currently i am laying low, making articles to reduce systemic bias that no one will argue about, and learning how to edit Wikipedia.

[edit] About Me

My name is James, and I live in Fairport, New York. I was born in California and lived some time in Tennessee. I am a sophomore at McQuaid Jesuit High School. I enjoy learning about many things, but I mostly focus on science, philosophy, and politics.

[edit] Contributions and Future Projects

I created the article Hoda Barakat, and am currently looking for a picture for it. I also plan to create an article on The Stone of Laughter, a novel by her, which I am currently reading. I should have that finished in the next few weeks. In the near future I also plan to do a major edit on Socrates (the portion about the trial).

WikiProject Countering systemic bias open tasks
This project creates and improves neglected articles.



WikiProject Philosophy task list
  • Charles Peirce: This article needs a lot of help. The POV is way too idiosyncratic and the style is offputting for a general audience, to say the least. You will have to be willing to go to the mat, however, with the primary author, who has been banned but has reappeared under different names.
  • Desert: At least narrow it down to being in philosophy, ethics, or morality. An actual article at any of these three would be nice, too.
  • Cesare Cremonini: created "start-level", would need new eyes and hands.
  • Fatalism: Stub-like. Needs to be cleaned up and expanded
  • Aristotelianism: Needs to be expanded
  • Logical argument: Needs work to be of use
  • Sign / Symbol: Introductions contain too much technical jargon
  • Catholic Probabilism: Pretty nearly straight from the old Catholic Encyclopedia
  • Counterfactuals: Needs fuller and more accurate summary of main theories, as well as indication of philosophical importance in other topics, notably causation and inference.
  • Human agency: Expand, correct, and reference. Any support for altering the name?
  • Being and Nothingness: An Essay on Phenomenological Ontology Sartre's magnum opus, barely more than a stub
  • Übermensch: desperately needs knowledgable attention
  • Kant's Groundwork: re-write, expand
  • Existentialism: in dire need of a cleanup and reworking of information
  • African philosophy: needs a lot of work!
