[edit] Skills, etc.

I'm a participant in the excellent Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics, and the rather less successful Wikipedia:WikiProject Philosophy, as well as a few other wikiprojects. I've begun the making of a case for a WikiProject Logic.

[edit] Goals and to dos

Two main goals I have at the moment: help the logic article on the road to featured article, and start Wikipedia:WikiProject Logic. Most of my edits are somewhat related to my academic interests, but I dip into music, German politics, journalism and publishing and other articles from time to time.

I have a sort of to-do list on User:Chalst/tasks.

[edit] Some major edits

Rather a while ago, I made a sample of major edits I've done to article at User:Chalst/edits: the list is probably the best way to get an idea of the better of my editing work here.

My edit count can be found at Kate's edit counter.

[edit] Snippets

• User:VeryVerily/Conflicting Wikipedia philosophies; my meta-editing position in those terms are:
  • Moderate eventualist (mergeist fraction): see mergeist;
  • Moderate Statusquoist: established articles are traditions, they have inertia that the wise tackle on the talk pages first;
  • Encyclopedist: community is important, but it is entirely subordinate to the informational mission;
  • Authorist: providers of content have an understanding of what lies behind what they have said that normally deserves consideration;
  • Rehabilist: trolls should be dealt with decisively, but immature and POV contributors too often get coloured as trolls;
  • WikiPacifist: there is never a good reason for breaking the 3rv rule.
