At 1401 on the 12th August back in 2006 I made my first edit to the Wikipedia, all to the knowledge management article. Five years later I have made over twenty thousand edits to over six thousand articles, the best part of eight thousand article talk pages, four thousand user talk pages and just over […]
My first encounter with some of the idiosyncrasies of editing the WIkipedia remains memorable; being told that you obviously don’t understand your own work seemed bizarre at the time, but I was a Wikipedia Virgin (to use the title of that post). My purity is long gone now, with 13,618 edits on 1,390 pages since […]
For those who followed my earlier posts I am pleased to say that, at least for the moment, right did win out and Peter Damian is restored as an editor. Nice to see him back at work this morning removing some of the POV material on the NLP article. I have long seen NLP as […]
For those interested, this makes for interesting reading on some of the darker sides of Wikipedia. Readers may remember my previous post on this. In the mean time we continue to face problems on all the Irish pages with a small group of editors who seem to think that the Good Friday agreement should not […]
I will confess to feeling slightly disappointed with Wikipedia today. We have one very good editor, who has done massive and detailed work over the years on various philosophy and history pages. Recently he has also been tackling pseudo-science pages such as that on NLP. He is also passionate about removing free propaganda for pederasts. […]
One of my earliest blogs recorded an early experience editing the Wikipedia. It’s the best part of two years since then and I am now active on a range of pages, have been granted rollback privileges for my services in combating vandalism and have helped flush out two sock puppets. Over the last few months […]
I’m getting worried about some aspects of the `Wikipedia. The problems I reported earlier have continued with more encounters with Wiki-facists. As a part of that battle I have now heard stories of Wiki-stalking and see evidence for myself of pervert structures being built up. No ecology can survive unrestricted predation without damage, and possibly […]
While I support the Wikipedia as a useful source of knowledge, along with the general principles of mass participation, it can at times be difficult. In the last few days I seem to have spent a disproportionate amount of time dealing with the deletion of obscenities on the Wales article, and preventing self-promotion in the […]
