I'm Charles Stewart, a copy-editor and former logician, who retains his former research interests in proof theory, semantics of logic, modal logic and applications of logic to computer science and programming. Some of my home pages:
- User pages at wikimedia sites: de.wikipedia.org, wikisource, and meta-wiki;
- User pages at other wikis: Proof and Counterexample, CLiki, c2.com, The Scheme Wiliki at schemewiki.org;
- Business home page at textproof.com;
- Academic home page at linearity.org;
- I've gathered other links to pages somehow associated with me at User:Chalst/chalst

I'm a participant in the excellent Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics, and the rather less successful Wikipedia:WikiProject Philosophy, as well as a few other wikiprojects. Sometime ago I began the making of a case for a WikiProject Logic, and I am delighted to discover that I am founding member of WP:WPLOG, however passive my founding, rather than chattering, activities were!
[edit] Goals and to dos
Two main goals I have at the moment: help the logic article on the road to featured article, and help Wikipedia:WikiProject Logic. Most of my edits are somewhat related to my academic interests, but I dip into music, German politics, journalism and publishing, and other articles from time to time.
I have a sort of to-do list on User:Chalst/tasks.
[edit] Some major edits
Rather a while ago, I made a sample of major edits I've done to article at User:Chalst/edits: the list is probably the best way to get an idea of the better of my editing work here.
My edit count can be found at Kate's edit counter.
[edit] Snippets
- User:VeryVerily/Conflicting Wikipedia philosophies; my meta-editing position in those terms are:
- Moderate eventualist (mergeist fraction): see Wikipedia:Mergism;
- Moderate Statusquoist: established articles are traditions, they have inertia that the wise tackle on the talk pages first;
- Encyclopedist: community is important, but it is entirely subordinate to the informational mission;
- Authorist: original providers of good content generally have an understanding of what lies behind what they have beyond what the rest of the WP community know;
- Rehabilist: trolls should be dealt with decisively, but immature and POV contributors too often get coloured as trolls;
- WikiPacifist: there is never a good reason for breaking the 3rv rule.
- /conferences Coming conferences, workshops and meetings in my research area;
- /funding A fragmentary set of annotated links to folks who might give you money to do logic;
- /guide/New_Haven Some notes on surviving New Haven, with or without a Yale ID card;
- /islamofascism Who coined the term islamofascism?
