Wikipedia - Wikipedia 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 rules to consider page for more information. Second, there are a number of important naming conventions with which participants familiarize themselves. See the page about talk pages as well as the editing policy page. nostalgia.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wikipedia

Race/Talk - Wikipedia Race is indeed a population genetics term (or a term in taxonomy), but that certainly does not imply that its use in humans is unimportant. Race is population genetics term, and its human usage is NOT the main one. Some biologists, for example, basically deny the existence of races, or they deny the usefulness of the concept of race, maintaining that they are just one way of subdividing humanity in groups, and completely different divisions would be made if other characteristics were used. nostalgia.wikipedia.org /wiki/Race/Talk

Wikipedia:Wicibōceras - Wikipedia It is suggested that if you put your name on one of the more specific lists, that you also include your name on the alphabetical list. Some might argue that Wikipedist would be a more appropriate name, just as encyclopedist means someone who contributes to an encyclopedia. Special:Listusers is an automatic listing; however, due to technical limitations, it does not list all users. ang.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wikipedia:Wicib%C3%B3ceras

White supremacy/Talk - Wikipedia The total number of genetic differences between races is small, but all you need is a change in one or two genes to convert a normal person into a delta-minus troll. But within races there is a great deal of genetic difference, and there wouldn't exist one defective single gene shared by all. My case is simply that the genetic difference between a race and another race is not significant in terms of intelligence, because so many factors influence it. nostalgia.wikipedia.org /wiki/White_supremacy/Talk

Wikipedia Statistics - Plots - Active wikipedians Generated on Saturday May 21, 2005 from the SQL dump files of Monday May 16, 2005 ang.wikipedia.org /wikistats/EN/PlotsPngWikipediansEditsGt5.htm

Wikipedia A more active group of approximately 3,000 users made more than 100 edits per month, over half of these users having worked in the three largest editions. To increase speed further, rendered pages for anonymous users are cached in a filesystem until invalidated, allowing page rendering to be skipped entirely for most common page accesses. Wikimedia has begun building a global network of caching servers with the addition of three such servers in France. en.showmy.net /Wikipedia

Yahoo! Search blog: Jimmy Wales on Wikipedia and Yahoo! We, wikipedians are indeed a big bunch of geeks building the biggest geek reference ever. Most of the country articles are re-heated CIA factbook copies. The most amazing thing is that it is organic, integrated and growing at an unfathomable rate. www.ysearchblog.com /archives/000100.html

Enciclopedia Discusión:Por qué estamos aquí y no en es.wikipedia.com - Enciclopedia Libre Well, I must say, independently of wether I agree or not with your sentences, that this is the most polite answer I have seen from the wikipedia responsibles... I most especially want the participation of Edgar and Javier, who have spoken so eloquently here about their concerns. I am sure he will respect my decision because we are in total agreement that the most important thing is the project, not individual egos. enciclopedia.us.es /index.php/Enciclopedia_Discusi%F3n:Por_qu%E9_estamos_aqu%ED_y_no_en_es.wikipedia.com

Wikipedia Blog The number of very active wikipedians is monthly: edit like mad in August, and you're counted for August -- drop below the threshold when you go back to school, and you're off this list. Most people are more concerned with operating systems as tools than as ends in themselves; tinkering has lost its allure; programming should focus on rewarding, important problems, not getting your sound card to play two sounds at the same time. The most general point is taht the visibility and importance of open source writing will eclipse the visibility and importance of open source programming. wikip.blogspot.com

Usuario Discusión:Jimbo Wales-Wikipedia For me is OK if I manage to get two or three active wikipedians this year (in each language, Spanish and Basque) out of my 60 students doing the course [2]. I am personally most excited by the progress of wikipedia in Africa and India. I was very hopeful to meet in IRC this morning, does no one of the 100 people know how to get on an irc channel?--Jimbo Wales 11:47 3 mar, 2005 (CET) es.wikipedia.org /wiki/Usuario_Discusi%C3%B3n:Jimbo_Wales

Wikinews Chat/2005/02/05/log - Meta Most bloggers who have great blogs don't have time to "play around" [#wikinews 00:25] <_sj_> there are certainly lists of wikipedia IM names... Take most press articles talking of science, law, foreign countries, they are fraught with misunderstandings and elementary errors. [#wikinews 23:56] bloggers aren't territorial like that, most of them are pro-wiki [#wikinews 23:56] My impression is that the big interest of Wikinews is that we could have some people expert in many areas to filter news. meta.wikimedia.org /wiki/Wikinews_Chat/2005/02/05/log

Wikipedia As well as being a hateful and small-minded thing to do, claiming falsely in public that an individual has broken the law is in itself an illegal act. Since names on credit cards are carefully authenticated and their forgery is a very serious criminal act, this should be proof of my name.

Meatball Wiki: WikiPedia WikiPedia is suited to describing different flavors of a religion (e.g. BTW religion is not a good wiki topic due to the passion associated with it, but I do not have a convenient example Christianity) and its origins, but is not suitable to present multiple viewpoints on whether that religion is good for you or not. www.usemod.com /cgi-bin/mb.pl?WikiPedia   (1593 words)

Wikipedia and Universism - UNIVERSIST FORUM I don't know if facts matter to 'wikipedians' (regular wikipedia users) or not - there is certainly more evidence now that can be presented in the article to demonstrated universism is 'significant' enough a movement and philosophy to warrant its entry. Universism (prounounced "universe-ism") refers to the ideology of the United Universists, a religion founded in August 2003 by Ford Vox as (in his words) "the world's first rational religion". Universists are everywhere and in time, with media exposure and awareness, millions of people around the world will recognize that their beliefs are quite Universist." In the city where Universism started Universism recently made the cover of the [http://www.birminghamweekly.com/ Birmingham Weekly], that city's largest weekly. www.faithless.org /community/index.php?act=findpost&pid=31468   (2457 words)

Sleepy-Head » Aaron and Wikipedia Neutrality, notability, validity, consensus are all more important to wikipedians. It is accepted practice to delete non-neutral parts of articles if they are not salvagable, and articles whose notability is questioned will have that notability discussed with the deletion of the article as a possible outcome. sleepyhead.org /archives/2004/09/14/aaron-and-wikipedia   (448 words)

ASCII by Jason Scott: A Criticism of Wikipedia Now Exceeding a Scream As long as the wikipedians see themselves as successful, arguing for big bad control -- you seem to argue for stricter control than most internet forums -- is useless. And if it's important enough that people are literately pouring weeks and months of their lives into it, it's important enough to question basic tenets of how it is functioning. It is essentially effortless, and it is pretty easy to create a mass of user accounts and foment your opinions in votes and other situations. ascii.textfiles.com /archives/000067.html   (448 words)

Slashdot Larry Sanger on Wikipedia and World What he seems most upset about is the problem of "revert wars" happening whenever an author wants to be the absolute authority on a topic and regularly patrols their article to undo any edits that are made to what they consider their "perfect" work? It's amazing that once you've become free from most of the rules, and are given a simply goal, how people will organize themselves and work toward a common goal. My rough idea is, pick the 10 most popular articles, 10 random articles of moderate-to-high traffic, 10 random articles of low traffic and then do a compare/contrast against 'reputable' references. slashdot.org /articles/04/12/23/2312227.shtml?tid=95&tid=146   (448 words)

Wikipedia:Svar til kritikere - Wikipedia It's reasonable to think there will come a time when we have exhausted most of the most common subjects, and we've got at least "stubs" about almost everything. The other part is that, while there is attrition (some old contributors don't write so much anymore), there's an overall increase in active population. We think we are--gradually, and sometimes from very rough first drafts--developing a reliable resource. da.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wikipedia:Svar_til_kritikere   (448 words)

Slashdot Wikipedia Founder Jimmy Wales Responds Considering that there are only about 6000 active editors throughout the different projects (Active wikipedians [wikipedia.org]), and we have achieved this much, can you imagine what could be achieved if 10% of students throughout the world got involved. You could have a K-12 edition in one year. interviews.slashdot.org /interviews/04/07/28/1351230.shtml   (448 words)

Wikibooks:Staff lounge - Wikibooks One advantage I've found to writing as a wikibook is that I can copy material from the wikipedia to help me. Though I am writing lots of new material, some of the annoying/well known details don't get in my way (e.g., who can get excited about writing the mathematical definition of a total order?). You can probably use a macro to do the conversion for you, or export to html then do a search and replace then manual edit, or export to a text file then modify, etc. I would suggest first focusing on the content, then worry about the formatting once the book is done. The real question here is what boilerplate request-letters to provide contributors to ensure we find out (1) whether they mind their content being edited, (2) whether they want attribution, or want no connection at all with such edited content, (3) whether any changes (on their end) to slowly-changing content can be propagated to WM projects... en.wikibooks.org /wiki/Staff_Lounge   (448 words)

Wikipedia timeline - From Meta; discussion about Wikimedia projects Discussions about these edits became heated, and many people felt that 24, while knowledgable about various topics, was unable to work well with others. These are brought online during January 2004, and as a result the location of the Wikimedia computers moves from San Diego to Florida, within an hour of Jimbo's home, allowing a better emergency response in the future. Even more silly lists created by people satirizing the creation of silly lists. wiki.mozilla.org /index.php/Wikipedia_timeline   (448 words)

The Aardvark Speaks: One last word in the Wikipedia debate Edits can also be easily reverted to the previous version, if that is so desired. Since there are "articles" like list of economics topics, it is easy to see if there are any changes in any economics articles, or almost any subject you can think of. The history page lists all the changes that have been made to the article, and allows the differences (diff) between any two versions to be displayed. homepage.univie.ac.at /horst.prillinger/blog/archives/2004/06/000638.html   (448 words)
