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.

[edit] About Me

I graduated from Pitzer college with a bachelors degree in Philosophy and having satisfied all pre-med requirements, including taking the MCAT. During college, I was a snowboarding instructor at Mt. Baldy Ski Lifts, a resort just north of my school. I am originally from just outside DC in Montgomery County, Maryland. When I'm in town (and i'm often not), I am a volunteer Firefighter and EMT at one of the US's busiest heavy-rescue squads.

I have a very strong sense of obligation and responsibility, but I can be pretty damn lazy.

[edit] Contributions

So, I don't do a very good job of acting as my own historian. Instead of writing this as I write articles, most of these selections have been taken out of my contributions history, so it has been a slow process developing this list. Bear with me.

The biggest problem is that, frankly, i don't really care. but if i don't keep this list, i'll have no way of keeping up with the articles cause my watchlist is...messy.

[edit] Articles I started

OLGA - Online guitar tab resource
Screensaver Lifesaver - a distributed computing project that is trying to cure cancer
Rescue Squad - like a fire department, but staffing technical rescue units (and/or ambulances) instead of fire suppression.
Cris Kirkwood
Amos Ori
The United States Fire Administration
Mt. Baldy Ski Lifts - the closest ski-resort to LA, where I happen to work. The first article I started (I think).
Barry Sanders at wikiquote.
Coco (music) - local music from northern brazil. most of this article is a partial translation from the portuguese wikipedia.

[edit] Significant contributions

These are articles that I either made significant edits too, have made many contributions too over time or have otherwise seen a significant amount of my attention (excluding articles I started). Hardly a complete list.
