  Meta tag - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Meta tags have been the focus of a field of marketing research known as search engine optimization or SEO.
In the early 2000s, search engines veered away from reliance on Meta tags, as many web sites used inappropriate keywords or were keyword stuffing to obtain any and all traffic possible.
An alternative to meta tags for enhanced subject access within a website is the use of a back-of-book-style index for the website.

 Wikipedia - Anarchopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
It suffers from a combination of software deficiencies and a developer and sysop power structure that is the opposite of democratic, and strongly favours insiders over outsiders.
There are no designated editors to make final decisions, in any language, instead this is a power struggle of sorts, with a GodKing who speaks only English and can't possibly read all the disputed articles or judge their content.
Analogue situation is relation between anarchism and capitalism: capitalism has power structure which is opposite to anarchism; capitalism teaches us what to do and what not to do in anarchism; capitalism is bad, but it is better then feudalism; the question is: would (contemporary) anarchism exist if capitalism didn't exist.

 Meta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Meta (Greek: "about," "beyond"), is a common English prefix, used to indicate a concept which is an abstraction from another concept, used to analyze the latter.
For example "metaphysics" refers to things beyond physics, and "meta language" refers to a type of language or system which describes language.
In organic chemistry, "meta" (along with "ortho" and "para") is used to distinguish the three types of isomer of disubstituted benzenes: it indicates that the substituents are at locants 1 and 3.

 Discussion Wikipedia:Ambassada - Wikipedia
It would be great that each wikipedia in time, set a similar page, so that information could flow more easily between wikipedia.
For bigger wikipedia, it is also interesting to set a goings-on page to relieve the local village pump, often clogged with information request.
For small wikipedias, since it is difficult to maintain such a community page with less contributors, it makes sense to merge the goings-on in the village pump, or in the community main page (perhaps by making a separate paragraph).

 Wikipedia - Metaweb   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Other projects, like Disinfopedia and Consumerium, use both this software and the GNU FDL license without Invariant Sections (so far), so that copying text back and forth from any of these projects is a cut and paste with no legal ramifications.
Most likely, it will set that standard since no other project will be able to claim to have worked out the details of so much complex presentation of information and such a wide base of end users with no particular background, in so many languages.
There is no real agreement on best practices, see http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/faction for a list of various ways to discuss it and what issues are considered important by different groups and what "factions" have formed.

The aim is not to write articles from a single objective point of view -- this is a common misunderstanding of the policy -- but rather, to fairly present all views on an issue, attributed to their adherents.

The founders of WikiPedia are WikiPedia:Jimbo_Wales, owner of the web portal Bomis, and LarrySanger, who served as WikiPedia's chief organizer until March 1, 2002.
The WikiPedia concept becomes difficult when there is "a valid spread of opinion on a subject matter".

In epistemology the prefix meta- is used to mean about.
For example, metadata is data about data (who has produced it, when, what format the data is in and so on).

 Meta- - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The prefix is derived from the Ancient Greek meta, which is a preposition and prefix having several meanings.
One of those, meta as preposition taking the genitive case, translates as the English with; but there are others, and the verb prefix meta- in Greek, seen in metamorphosis, connotes change.
The current English usage is accidental, deriving from the classification of Aristotle's works to include the category of metaphysics, which could more or less be described as the study of the physics of physics itself.

 Wikipedia
Some participants of wikipedia argue that their experience has shown that over time these drawbacks will be reduced, as the quality and balance of individual articles improves.
The most widely supported rule is: "If rules make you nervous and depressed, and not desirous of participating in the wiki, then ignore them entirely and go about your business." It is perhaps surprising, therefore, that the wiki is as well-disciplined and good-natured as it is. See the policies and guidelines page for more information.
If you wish to do something with our open content that cannot best be done right here, you may at any time download a nearly-current version of the entire article database to do as you wish with it, within terms of the GFDL.

The real debates happen in another area, meant for pages that probably don’t belong, but are not obvious nonsense, this is where the List of left-wing organizations in the USA found itself.
These ideals wikipedia sets up for itself are important for it to be trusted, and for it to be a non-partisan neutral source of information.

If a person knows that she won't have to fight with the community over the professional use of such language, she would be more apt to produce an article on the subject.

Meta is being cleaned up to act as a multi-lingual hub between all the different language wikipedias - and the wiktionaries.
It serves for TheCabal to isolate ideas and arguments that they find displeasing by removing them from WikiPedia proper, starving them of the oxygen of publicity, and ensuring that they are rapidly stillborn.
Ideas and arguments that TheCabal approve of remain on WikiPedia proper, and attempts to apply the same criteria to such pages as those created by so-called "trolls" forcefully resisted.

 Wikipedia (Reds) - Consumerium   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Wikimedia is not the lawful nor responsible steward of the GFDL corpus but a gang of usurpers who seek to prevent other GFDL corpus access providers from placing themselves in a central position to distribute upgrades to that corpus.
In general, Reds consider there to be no negotiating nor accomodation with Wikimedia but view the troll-sysop struggle there as directly towards ultimately ending Wikimedia and replacing it with a more accountable structure with no history of GodKings nor priestly hierarchy nor command hierarchy.
As is often pointed out, it is in technical violation of several points of the GFDL due to a combination of software deficiencies, mismatches of the software with the terms of the GFDL, and a developer and sysop power structure that is the opposite of democratic, and strongly favours insiders over outsiders.

 [Wikipedia-l] More on our friend 24
FYI here is something 24 has recently wrote in response to a statement I made about contacting the mailing list about his/her actions (from [[Talk:Military fiat]]): "you are quite welcome to have a "party" or "clique" discussion on what your mailing list clique wishes to do about the Governance of this project.
I will proceed as I am until someone writes a [[m:Status quo]] that identifies some action of mine as a problem, or until someone else achieves consensus on a means of [[m:Governance]] on the project now that Larry is gone.

 Wikitext standard - Metaweb   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
This may eventually relieve the dependence on mediawiki and let other suites such as tikiwiki or MoinMoinWiki be used, or entirely new programs to develop to manipulate the Metaweb.
Metaweb would be best off developing standards for source authentication (as also addressed in simple ideology of Wikitax) and linking all mentions of one particular human body (as per meta-wikipedia's person DTD proposal).
Tracking the projects which have the strictest requirements, and noting discussion at those projects about those requirements (only), seems like the wisest way to track progress towards a wikitext standard and associated capabilities like a wikitext DTD - on which a metaweb DTD would be based.
