Re: [WikiEN-l] So much for the Obama scandal

2009-03-12 Thread stevertigo
There is probably some truth in that. Most people who deal with online
identity have to deal with the online disinhibition effect (ODE), and
many of us have certain experience of expressing ourselves using
less-than-ideal concepts.

But that's no less true for the few partisans trying to turn the Obama
Wikipedia article into the Obama Conservapedia article. Learning to
compose one's concepts better is one thing. Learning or not learning
the value of NPOV is another, and arguably just as important.

This is true.  I've found some excellent sources through academic libraries
and their database subscriptions.

I'll start her off:

 If you come to rule them all,
 And people look like ants,
 Remember being one foot tall,

Certain thready discussions on certain contentious talk pages would
benefit from less disorganized (ie. standard format) talk pages, and
more topical-based ones. I wrote up a basic concept at WP:TP (direct
shortcut WP:OBT ):

Stvertigo thought he would rhyme

And began prompting others to chyme

But reviews were nonplussed

So it promptly got flushed

Where it swirled in the waters of time.



Anyone have paper?  My roll’s empty.
