This article seems to violate the policy against self-references (that is references to Wikipedia within articles). Also the survey of WP pages appears to be original research. Not huge flaws for fairly useful article, but I suppose they should be remedied.--Chris 16:40, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Huh?
A policy against self-references? I don't know anything about that. But I do know there's a Wikipedia article about Wikipedia you might want to complain about. Anyway, I see no problem with the self-references in this article, given that self-referentiality is an element of ipsedixitism and so part of the subject of the article.
- If faced with naïve Ipsedixitism, one solution is Socratic Irony, as this approach is likely to encourage the dogmatist to elaborate away from simple re-assertion of dogma, or to realize that assumptions have been made. Wow, what a mouthful. What exactly does this mean? (I'm not a native English speaker, but I think this means: tell whoever asserted the ipsedixitism to elaborate with references other than him/herself as a basis for his/her argument. True?

- I can only think that all the self-references are supposed to be a clever illustration of the principle. I'm removing them. TheMadBaron 21:08, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Beautiful irony.
