From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I am dharh and a computer science major. I am a big fan of organization of data and ease of use of getting that data. Kuro5hin, digg, slashdot, del.icio.us, and of course Wikipedia are some my favorite web sites. I love the idea of open source news and information which all of those sites are pretty much about.
My goal is to create intelligent computer programs that can help in gathering, analizing or interpreting, organizing, and display any information. In the mean time however I also want to help with projects such as Wikipedia or creating web applications that are not so intelligent but are pretty good at organization and display.
My web site http://indeepthought.org uses a variation on the wiki markup language for making blog posts and articles.

- Though I have not helped out with Wikipedia much in the past I do continuously browse and edit a little.

WikiProject Philosophy task list
- Charles Peirce: This article needs a lot of help. The POV is way too idiosyncratic and the style is offputting for a general audience, to say the least. You will have to be willing to go to the mat, however, with the primary author, who has been banned but has reappeared under different names.
- Desert: At least narrow it down to being in philosophy, ethics, or morality. An actual article at any of these three would be nice, too.
- Cesare Cremonini: created "start-level", would need new eyes and hands.
- Fatalism: Stub-like. Needs to be cleaned up and expanded
- Aristotelianism: Needs to be expanded
- Logical argument: Needs work to be of use
- Sign / Symbol: Introductions contain too much technical jargon
- Catholic Probabilism: Pretty nearly straight from the old Catholic Encyclopedia
- Counterfactuals: Needs fuller and more accurate summary of main theories, as well as indication of philosophical importance in other topics, notably causation and inference.
- Human agency: Expand, correct, and reference. Any support for altering the name?
- Being and Nothingness: An Essay on Phenomenological Ontology Sartre's magnum opus, barely more than a stub
- Übermensch: desperately needs knowledgable attention
- Kant's Groundwork: re-write, expand
- Existentialism: in dire need of a cleanup and reworking of information
- African philosophy: needs a lot of work!
