Proposed Stub on philosophy of applied knowledge

[edit]

For human beings, thinking can reveal the secrets of the universe. In fact, we see the world by thinking about it.

[edit]

(a summary by paraphrase of Rudolf Steinr's philosophy (references to come...))

[edit]

An animal looks at the sky and knows it is night; a human does the same and "knows" the universe came out of nowhere about 15 billion years ago.

Thinking about this difference between us and the rest of the animal kingdom, leads some humans to arrogance; and others to deep humility. Thus, thinking again determines how we see ourselves and the world.

If early education did nothing more than explore the implication of this aspect of human reality, it could contribute more to secure the long term sustainability of global civilization than what is allowed by it’s current obsession with the mechanical skills of the “three Rs”.

Four years later I am still hooked on Wikipedia in spite of all the frustrations it can cause. I am now looking for my sandbox. Janosabel (talk) 18:11, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More than ten years later, no change. Except I am more purposeful with Wikipedia.
I see it as means to remedy the lack general education leaves in the life of generations. That lack is 'general knowledge'.
Janosabel (talk) 21:32, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! When you get the time to do so would you look at the things I suggested on the talk page? I was just brainstorming when I wrote most of it so feel free to comment on it. I really feel that the article could be vastly improved if some of what is in it now was clarified and we then added a section on microfinance to illustrate a practical example of how at least parts of the theory could and is being implemented. That way the article would no longer be about an economic theory/school with marginal interest from professional economists. It would be about an economic theory/school that, although not mentioned by name, is at least being partially implemented. That's much better and the article could then be completely detagged.

Binary economics (post discussion version)

[edit]

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Binary economics (post discussion version), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Haemo 00:21, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alice Bailey

[edit]

I saw a comment of yours suggesting you had some knowledge of Alice Bailey. If so, you might provide helpful input to the developing biography. James 00:36, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

James,
Somewhat belatedly with apologies:
I have looked at A.B.'s life relating to her involvement with, and estrangement from, the Theosophical Society.
Will look at the current page(s) of the biography.

Speedy deletion of "New Money"

[edit]

A tag has been placed on "New Money" requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already).

The entry seems needed in the context of the article Quantitative easing.
Is this not sufficient context?
Your hostile editorial policy is amazing. Could not you say that unapproved articles will be deleted in x hours? What is the hurry? Is the Wikipedia server running out of space? Janosabel (talk) 22:14, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Just wanted to let you know that I've left you another note on Talk:New Money. --PeruvianLlama(spit) 01:29, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
On a related note: if in the future anybody ever adds a "speedy deletion" tag to an article you've created, and you think you have a good argument for that article not being deleted, then simply add the following (both sets of braces included) to the top of the page: {{hangon}}. That little snippet will let any deletion-happy admins know that the article's author wants a few minutes to make a case for keeping the article on its associated talk page, and will give you enough time to throw out a couple sentences to convince them, or at the very least engage them in a dialogue. It's unlikely that anyone leaving a message on your talk page (like Mayalld did above) will check your talk page again for your responses. This is just because of the technical way Wikipedia communication works, and not because they don't want to hear from you. Cheers! --PeruvianLlama(spit) 01:33, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of General Evolution Research Group

[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article General Evolution Research Group, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Unable to find any significant coverage of this organization in reliable independent sources.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

My help page

[edit]

A subpage usually refers to a lower level web page in a website or wiki with the same main name as the starting level page plus a slash and text identifying the location of the subpage. More precisely, it refers to a part of the path in the hierarchical part of the Uniform Resource Identifier (also known as URI or URL).

For example, if the name of the main page were :first, a typical subpage would be called :first/second. In most implementations this system is recursive, so that subpages can have their own subpages (e.g. :first/second/third).

My saga with a stub on Folk economics

[edit]

Just in case it is speedily deleted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Folk_economics.

Note: Want to start Folk Economics as requested at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Business_and_economics#Economics Will have to learn a lot to even start an article. Is it worth it? The system is very harsh on newbe contributions. So it seems to encourage editors to act as gatekeepers of accepted wisdom. Galileo would not have allowed a looking with the "no original research" rule.

Can someone show simply how to do the references properly? I have no time to spend hours on a course to comply with the strict rules imposed by the system. Valuable creative contributions may be rejected by these robotic restrictions. The article was asked for at the Wikiproject Economicd site.Janosabel (talk) 13:43, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Definition of Folk economics

Folk economics is intuitive economics of untrained people. [1] Will this do as reference? No, I still do not get it.

What the hell is missing? Is this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Referencing_for_beginners#Inserting_a_reference what I need? and this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial.

Or learn from others at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ervin_László#cite_note-0


Now another reference: [2]. OK, but if it is the same reference at some other place there is another trick (see [1]). Very clever nut not at all "intuitive".


Here come some examples[citation needed] of the chilling warnings plaguing a newbe editor:

Re: LVT - Solutions

[edit]

Dear Janosabel, Regarding LVT, I think the work of Dr. Michael Hudson is excellent on these issues. Both monetary and LVT and other tax reforms need to be part of a theory in order to put everything in context. The Labour Theory of Value and Rent theory of Price are key parts of this. See: The Theory of Rent Needs a Theory of History Take Care, Sincerly, William WjtWeston (talk) 19:45, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's usually the second Sunday of each month. There's a page for the next one: meta:Meetup/London/185 where you can sign-up to indicate interest.
There's an online event this week for the annual Wiki Loves Monuments activity. I suppose it will be run via Zoom but the sign-up is being managed by Eventbrite.

Anarchism

[edit]

Hi Janosabel, I heard you were interested in following along with Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, so I wanted to say hi and pass along an invite to watch our noticeboard/project page. It's a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!

And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.

Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 01:44, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Czar,
Many thanks for contacting me.
Only a few years ago I realised that I was an anarchist. But definitely anarchist of the social type a la Murray Bookchin .
By pure coincidence your note appeared as I was wondering if I should read the biography of William Godwin I must have bought decades ago.
I expect there is a page on him in Wikipedia. Will head to it as well as looking up the links you suggest above.
Thanks again for the guidance. Janosabel (talk) 11:17, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think I can use the above title on account of having mastered the insertion of simple missing links to existing pages. However, when the same linkable word or phrase occurs several times in an article should all instances be linked?

Typo finding tool

[edit]

Hi, per our discussions yesterday, https://edwardbetts.com/page_patrol is the typo finding tool I use to follow words like planing, pubic and preform that generate lots of new typos. It has the facility to add safe phrases as well as marking false positives as "safe pages". I don't use it for words or phrases that are always typos, those go into AWB for example Wikipedia_talk:AutoWikiBrowser/Typos#at_the_at_the. But it is good for following words and phrases where there are enough false positives that we need a human to make a decision. ϢereSpielChequers 19:48, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I need to find people interested in a possible Wikipedia based free school. Have a draft Self-Curriculum by an eight year old aspiring to be a philosopher. Janosabel (talk) 21:28, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, can't help you with educating eight year olds via Wikipedia - way outside my areas of expertise. ϢereSpielChequers 23:15, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I was not clear enough...
Is anyone interested in considering a Wiky:Project to establish a Summerhill type free school using Wikipedia knowledge base?
The reference to an "eight year old" was the draft-example of a self-designed curriculum. Janosabel (talk) 12:58, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jobcentre Plus

[edit]

Jobcentre Plus#Role of Jobcentre Plus According to information here 71,000 employees distributed £1,408 benefits to claimants. Assuming only minimum salary of £14,000 per employee and that staffing levels have not gone up, is this a really rational way of dealing with the impoverishment of a large section of the population of a wealthy country?
