Re: [Wikimedia-l] A new Wikipedia fork: InfoGalactic

2016-10-10 Thread Craig Franklin 
So what you're saying is, Vox Day has created a "safe space" where his
circle of friends can reinforce each other's biases without interference
from the outside world?  Great.

Also, "Starlords".  Good grief.

Cheers,
Craig

To clarify what I mean in relation to that fork - "objectivity" (their 
second canon) is arguably a much better ideal to aspire to than our 
"neutrality".  Things either are, or are not.  It's our human failings 
that make the ideal impossible and an attempt at neutrality the next 
best thing.


So what we did is keep the dross alongside reality, and hope that 
references and a neutral POV would suffice to set them apart for the reader.

Why is it people unfailingly mistake "no bias" with "biases that match 
mine"?

Ads on the horizon according to

https://infogalactic.com/info/Infogalactic:Advertising

forks are hard... lots of bugs on
https://infogalactic.com/info/Infogalactic:Bug_list_for_editors

My first Special:Random result was ... a connection timeout, reloaded
ok https://infogalactic.com/info/Reza_Mansouri

Special:Random again, and another connection timeout, reloading ok

After 10+ successful Special:Random, I get another connection timeout,
reloading ok https://infogalactic.com/info/Vasiliki_Papazoglou

Here is one to watch:
