Man is so partial to systems and abstract conclusions that he is ready intentionally to distort the truth... Notes from Underground

Vote for Bugzilla:12796 per this discussion.

I have worked on agriculture, particularly as it relates to organic farming. I'm also interested in environmental health and naturopathy, and lately I have been spent time over at orthomolecular medicine, water fluoridation opposition, and dental amalgam controversy.

[edit] Doing real research

Here is a personal statement on what I see as poor behavior among Wikipedians: in looking for facts, they discount newly emerging truth, and sometimes actively fight it. I hope that more of us can become real researchers, interested in knowledge rather than voicing our opinions. Also, I think that more people need to do what they can to fill in facts. If everyone just tags uncited statements, nothing gets cited.

[edit] Things I would like to see

A way to list a certain user's contributions to an article, sorted by date, size, ect.
A way to put certain sections on my watchlist i.e. controversial information.
A way to track users so that I automatically know if someone is nominated for admin or something similar and can chime in.
Downloadable data spreadsheets available on Wikipedia.
More ways to hold users' accountable for questionable activities -- i.e., a way to easily access complaints against them.
Better ways to access people's good edits -- let's separate the spellcheckers from the real contributors on here. I have emailed Wikidashboard requesting that their tool separate quantity of edits from quality of edits. I want to be able to list edits by size. People laud their edit count as if it means something; it does not, and in fact it seems likely that those with higher edit counts have done less real contributing.
