[edit] Beliefs

  • I am a capitalist, and a believer in democracy (as unfashionable as it is to hold such beliefs.)
  • I oppose communism, statism, totalitarianism, fascism and terrorism. (as untrendy as it is to hold such beliefs these days).
  • At the same time however I believe that such doctrines should be given the right of freedom of expression, even terrorist ideas should be discussed for it prevents ideas that we hold from becoming, as J. S. Mill said, a 'dead dogma'.

On the political compass I scored:

Economic Left/Right: -0.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.74

Compare this with other Wikipedians, some of whom have their scores displayed on their user or talk pages.

Oh yeah, and for those on #wikipedia IRC:

  • I am not an American.
  • Je ne suis pas un Américain.
  • Ich bin nicht ein Amerikaner.
  • Non sono un americano
  • No soy un americano
  • Я не американец

[edit] Therapy?

As regards addiction to this encyclopedia, I seem to be safe, since I scored 91 (PHEW!!) on the "test".

  • Too many Userboxes suck.

[edit] Awards

I was awarded this banal, fake barnstar by User:A Link to the Past. I recognise its status as an accessory and Baudrillardian necessity.

[edit] Wikipedia Work

  • As a note, the reason for this page is to keep track of the articles I've edited all in one place without having to trawl through my contributions page. It is not, as might be thought to the visitors of other Wikipedian's pages, merely self-congratulatory, though of course, I cannot speak for my fellow editors entirely. --Knucmo2 17:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Projects

  • My main project on here to compile encyclopedic articles on philosophical and musical knowledge.

[edit] Other Tasks

  • Hard Times - to get this article up to peer review standard - DONE. - 24/05/2005
  • North and South - ditto.
  • Eradicate stubs on musicians and albums , making them more knowledgeable and informative. One such example I have 'destubbed' is Red Garland and Sonny Stitt: Red Garland,Sonny Stitt & Sonny Criss
  • Clearup any inadequacies in any subject I have a shred of expertise in.

[edit] Things you can do

WikiProject Philosophy task list
  • German Idealism and almost all the articles related to it need to be either rewritten or expanded, because a wikipedia user called Lestrade has, among other things, taken it upon himself to imbue each page with bias in favour of Schopenhauer, who he attempts to present as having the last say in everything. This is a terrible thing to do, because German Idealism is such an important period in philosophy, whose influence is still strongly felt today.
  • Protected Values first section confuses right action and values and needs a copy edit, moving and wikifying
  • Ludwig Wittgenstein is having its FA status reviewed due to a couple of concerns. Help save Ludwig! See Wikipedia:Featured article review/Ludwig Wittgenstein for requirements for retaining FA status.
  • Quality (philosophy) needs a more clear explanation.
  • Socratic dialogues could do with some tidying and clarification. See the talk page for one suggested change.
  • Problem of universals: The introductory definition is (perhaps) fixed. But, the article is poor. Check out the German version.
  • Teleology: the article is shallow and inconsistent.
  • Existentialism: the quality of this article varies wildly and is in desperate need of expert attention.
  • Star of Sophia Vote for or nominate someone you think is deserving!
  • Analytic_philosophy This is a very major topic, but still has several sections which are stubs, and several topics which are not covered.
  • Inverse (logic) This article makes me wish that there were a fail grade on the quality scale. Someone should rewrite it.
