Hi, I'm Kurt Weber, wikipedian-sort of and denizen of #wikipedia on Freenode (irc.freenode.net).

I am a Libertarian and a resident of Princeton, Indiana (actually a few miles outside of it).

I am also an economics/history double-major and classics/philosophy double-minor at the University of Southern Indiana, and an instructor for the Princeton Community High School marching band.

My favorite writers are (in order):

I am also a Member Advocate.

[edit] Wikipolitics

I am an extreme inclusionist. Only articles that support a small subset of speedy criteria should be deleted:

  • Nonsense
  • Pure slander

I hold that copyright is not simply a legal or utilitarian construct but an objective moral principle, and thus all individuals are obligated to abide by it totally and absolutely. Thus, I oppose all so-called (but misnamed) "fair use" images and aggressively pursue copyvios. This is not a contradiction with my radical extremist inclusionism, as inclusionism is concerned with what subjects are worthy for articles, not the particular content of those articles.

[edit] Essays

  • Wikipedia:Give an article a chance--on the harm and insanity of mindless and careless speedying of articles.
  • Wikipedia:When to use the generic stub tag--why I think people who aren't actively into stub-sorting should just use {{stub}} and let the stub-sorters figure out which topical stub tag is appropriate.
  • Wikipedia:Why do you care?--on why people need to worry less about why people come to Wikipedia, and what other activities they may participate in besides encyclopedia-writing on Wikipedia.
  • Wikipedia:If adminship is no big deal...--If an admin candidate truly believes adminship is "no big deal", then why would he care if people oppose him?

[edit] Cranks

I am the creator of Template:Crank, which looks like this:

This article concerns a topic which is deemed by the overwhelming majority of experts in its concerned field to be absolutely absurd or total nonsense

I created this a few weeks after someone (probably only half-jokingly) suggested it in #wikipedia; however, it has usefulness. Use it where needed, but be prepared to back it up.

[edit] M*A*S*H Quotes

(Season Three, Episode "Springtime"):

Radar: Slaking? Wow...

(Season Six, Episode "Fade In, Fade Out"):

Winchester: Where may I find your commanding officer?

Radar: Uh, in his commanding office, sir.

[edit] Quotes and Observations

"The difference between myself and socialists is that I want freedom for everyone, whereas socialists only want freedom for those who don't have something they want (and EVERYBODY has something a socialist wants)."

"A field of study can be safely considered complex when it starts using Hebrew letters for symbols."

"Given a sufficiently strong spring, any Maglite battery compartment cover is impossible to close."

"The most amazing thing in the world is how the company that makes Maglites manages to stay in business. The most any person would need at any one time is three--one for the house, one for the car, and one kept with all his camping gear. And those three will last forever, and will likely wind up being passed on to the grandchildren, who will pass them on to their grandchildren, ad infinitum. So where are all these new sales coming from?"

"Revolution becomes necessary, or at least justified, when government seeks to deny its citizens the means of planning or carrying out a revolution."

"People who think porn degrades women obviously haven't heard of feminism."

"Welfare recipients are the new feudal lords--they are the unproductive living off the productive by holding them at gunpoint."

"Anyone who argues against something on the grounds that it will help 'the big companies' can be safely ignored--not because of the idea itself, but because he used the phrase 'the big companies'."

"Leonard Peikoff is such a secondhander..."
