From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- is 26, male, born and raised in Fairfield, California, living in Eureka since the beginning of the millennium.
- has taken a few part-time community college classes in between working and family raising, and was ranked 9th in a graduating class of 566.
- is a little voice is a big cacophony.
- is working on Wikipedia:Expert editors/New draft...
- believes everybody possesses a foundational bias. Stating one's bias is the only way to maximize one's approach to neutrality. In that vein, I am refraining from editing the main namespace, and I appeal to the five pillars in cases of ambiguity. In the absence of, or conflict with, the statements on this page, my bias is revealed in my list of contributions, if you feel like datamining.
- has trouble structuring and expressing thoughts. The editable nature of the wiki helps.
- believes parental education (and regulation) is more important than sexual education (and regulation). What if we had to apply for parenting licenses?
[edit] Foundational bias
The first mathematician said 1 + 1 = 2, and 2 + 1 = 3, and so on, and thereby laid the symbological foundation for calculus, and other maths. A person possesses free will, whether they believe it or not. One's belief system is their foundational bias. It is impossible to escape this type of bias, but possible to recognize it. One has the free will to believe whatever one wants to believes, whatever sounds most plausible, given extant evidence.
[edit] Expert editors, and the quality of en:Wikipedia
Copied from German Wikipedia:
- Since July 2004 some German Wikipedians have employed a web of trust known as Vertrauensnetz: they use a special template on a subpage of their user page to list all the other users whom they trust, along with reasons for the trust and links to the other users' trust pages. This "trust" is not meant as personal sympathy, but as testimony of serious engagement with the Wikipedia project. By using the "What links here" feature, one can then also obtain a list of all participants who trust a given user.
- In February 2006 a new experimental project was started with the goal of evaluating users, providing feedback, and eventually eliminating the voting for adminships. Every participating user keeps a special evaluation subpage of their user page; others can leave positive or negative evaluations (with reasons) of the user on that page. A central page keeps track of the net number of positive evaluations received by every participant.
I think these would be good ideas for our Wikipedia.
