DavidJacobus:

I'm new here, and was just checking the recent changes when I saw this page. Just curious... is citation to other wiki's really encouraged here? That seems a little, err, intellectually dishonest. Maybe I just don't know enough of you guys yet. Let me know, but as an amateur academic, I try to keep my sources all legit, primary sources, not secondary or (in a wiki's case!) tertiary.-[[User:Poliorketes|Poliorketes]] 19:00, 24 April 2007 (EDT)

:legit sources and any degree of research is not welcome here. Thank you. --[[User:DavidJacobus|DavidJacobus]] 19:01, 24 April 2007 (EDT)

Thoughts for the week:
*they don't like people they disagree with having MORE say in how things ought to be said
*I wouldn't belong to any club that would have me as a member
*I wish Huey came back to this site

I am a SYSOP on this site, elected unanimously by the student board on my 6th day here.

True wikis have simple, clear rules. Otherwise it is a mobocracy.

==Articles I need to write==
*[[Honor killing]], [[female genital mutilation]], et al.
*[[hate speech]]
*[[mental illness]]
*[[Arthur Robinson]] - Christian, scientist, home school advocate
*[[Ann Coulter]] - must add her thoughts re: liberals
**[[Godless (book)]]
*"why are Jews so successful" - need a good title for this
*[[Todd Beamer]] - 9/11 hero
*[[Colin Ferguson]] - LIRR shooter
*[[exorcism]]
*[[Values clarification]]
*[[junk pyramid]] - the illicit drug trade

==Etc.==
My interests include history, religion, and science.

I've also taught SAT math prep, so if your article has any errors in arithmetic or statistics, prepare for a shock. I might just delete your entire contribution.

I'm also pretty good at science, logic, history, etc.

If you have any trouble on the site, a question about my edits/blocks/redirects/protects etc. please post on my talk page or email me and I will address them ASAP. I am open to working with everyone who demonstrates a genuine will to improve this site through their work.

==NPOV==

Here are the most commonly violated principles of neutral editing at Wikipedia:
* It is inappropriate to remove blocks of well-referenced information which is germane to the subject from articles on the grounds that the information advances a point of view. Wikipedia's NPOV policy contemplates inclusion of all significant points of view.
* Wikipedia's neutral point-of-view (NPOV) policy contemplates inclusion of all significant points of view regarding any subject on which there is division of opinion.
* Wikipedia articles should contain information regarding the subject of the article; they are not a platform for advocacy regarding one or another point of view regarding the topic. Sweeping generalizations which label the subject of an article as one thing or another are inappropriate and not a substitute for adequate research regarding details of actual positions and actions which can speak for themselves.
*Injection of personal viewpoints regarding the subject of an article is inappropriate and not to be resolved by debate among the editors of an article, but referenced from reputable outside resources. See [[Wikipedia:No original research]] and [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view]].
*[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a soapbox|Wikipedia is not a soapbox]] or a vehicle for [[propaganda]] advocacy or [[advertising]].
*A strong point of view expressed elsewhere on a subject does not necessarily mean POV-pushing editing on Wikipedia; that can only be determined by the edits to Wikipedia.
* Unexplained deletions of portions of controversial articles are unacceptable.

I am on probation at Wikipedia for trying to point out some of these problems and just might get my account blocked! :-)

==Who do you think you are?==

Q: Is this your personal blog, or what?!

A: No, but it just so happens that nearly every word I type, link I create, article or template I start - gains instant and widespread acceptance.

Q: Isn't that a bit arrogant?

A: Okay, I guess you're right. Perhaps I should be more humble.

==Explanations==

There was a time when Wikipedia was a [[meritocracy]], and I rose rapidly through the ranks then. I got Jimbo to create the Mediation and Arbitration committee's, so he wouldn't have to be the sheriff all the time. I became the first elected bureaucrat, and pioneered the system whereby admins could enforce rules without having to take everything before a committee.

But I didn't see the [[anti-elitism]] creeping up and choking the life out of the place. [[Larry Sanger]] was right.

My only worry about Conservapedia is that it '''might''' make the equal and opposite mistake; it has certainly been accused of it, hundreds of times. But senior staff have been amazingly tolerant of opposing ideas here so far and I reason to hope they will continue to do so.

==Proposed Block Policy==
There has recently been some disagreement over blocks, so I have created a [[User:CPAdmin1/Proposed Block Policy|proposed block policy]]
Tell me what you think. --[[User:CPAdmin1|CPAdmin1]] 23:23, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

==Look at the content==
It was discussion, not an article. [[User:AL|AL]] 17:07, 19 April 2007 (EDT)

Sorry, I thought that was what the discussion page was for, I won't redelete if you put it back. [[User:AL|AL]] 17:22, 19 April 2007 (EDT)

:We aren't very well organized. That was the AFD page for the [[Adultery]] article. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 17:23, 19 April 2007 (EDT)

Ed, can you do anything to ban Rschalfy? He keeps making the [[Adultery]] page say that Adultery is when a womwn sleeps with a man. It's ridiculous gender bias, and as a victim of the exact opposite happening to me, you can see why I'm so upset abou this utterly laughable article. [[User:50something|50something]]

*You are talking about Andy's brother? You think Ed can ban him? Maybe vitamins would help you. --[[User:TK|Sysop-TK]] [[User_talk:TK|/MyTalk]] 23:05, 21 April 2007 (EDT)

Ed - RSchallfy just reverted the [[Adultery]] page despite some recent excellent edits to his own absurd, backwards version, then locked it. If that isn't reason for banning this moron, I don't know what is. 50something.

*I don't think you can read, 50something. RSchalfly is an Administrator here, Ed cannot remove him. --[[User:TK|Sysop-TK]] [[User_talk:TK|/MyTalk]] 04:25, 23 April 2007 (EDT)
