My name is Jason Clevenger. My primary interest is in articles on food and restaurants. I also make contributions to philosophy articles and to the Washington University in St. Louis article.

Wikiosophy

[edit]

For a while after I started contributing, I was pretty much unaware of the Wikiwars going on just under the surface. This changed when an article I had gone to several times had an deletion AfD notice on it. Why would anyone want to delete an article that other people go to? I still have not found a good answer to this question. But I did learn about the alphabet soup of policeies and guidelines: WP:N, WP:V, WP:Not and all the rest. I began to get involved in the WP:AfD process, usually in support of keeping an article. I have strong inclusionist tendencies, but it is also clear that there are plenty of articles that come into Wikipedia everyday that should be deleted. Anyone doubting this should dip a bucket into the river of Wikipedia:New Pages. But of course the question is how to draw a line between what stays and what goes. That is what the inclusionism/deletionism tension is about. And since I have chosen to get involved I should provide a sketch of my principles.

People who I respect who have differing views:

Association of Wikipedians Who Dislike Making Broad Judgments About the Worthiness of a General Category of Article, and Who Are in Favor of the Deletion of Some Particularly Bad Articles, but That Doesn't Mean They Are Deletionists

Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet

It is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia.

This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.


Tip of The Day

[edit]
Wikipedia in brief

The Wikipedia in brief page provides a concise explanation of the online encyclopedia's purpose.

Wikipedia aims to be a neutral compilation of verifiable, established facts.

This basic information is valuable to everyone: readers, editors, journalists and the general public.
