Talk:Patricio Manns

Seraphimblade

Do you own wikipedia? Is it your private enterprise? If you do not, (and the whole philosophy leads me to believe that you are not) how about accepting that the World of culture is more than Britney Spears, Hollywood and Stephen King. There is a whole world out there to be discovered. Go for it! Don't be afraid! (*_*) - Чисто Золото 18:00, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Absolutely, Wikipedia is meant to be worldwide! The concern tags simply indicate that the article requires verifiable and reliable sources, as do all articles-including those on Britney Spears, Hollywood, and Stephen King. If you need some assistance in citing your sources in the article, I'd be happy to help you. Seraphimblade 18:13, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Seraphimblade, Britney Spears and Guggenheim Fellow Patricio Manns

There is some good analysis on the nature of systemic bias in the Wikipedia Project; it is a shame that some editors who are writing drafts for “fact checking teams” don’t appear to read them or assess their conduct in this project in light of them.

• • "The idea of a systemic bias is thus far more troubling than even widespread intentional vandalism. Vandalism can be readily identified and corrected. The existence of systemic bias means that not only are large segments of the world not participating in the discussion, but that there is a deep-rooted problem in the relationship of Wikipedia, its contributors and the world at large.” [1]

Yes Seraphimblade:

The English Patricio Manns stub that you carelessly tagged was simply a minute effort to translate part of the first paragraph, from Spanish to English of the spanish wikipedia article on the subject [2]. An effort quickly abandoned by the peculiar editor who upon seeing so many tags probably felt he was doing something terribly wrong.

How can you help other Wikipedia Project contributors if you are tagging minor author stubs for references, or as being “of unclear importance” or for “possible deletion” despite the fact that a lengthy article on the subject already exists in Wikipedia – albeit in Spanish.

I noticed in your comment you mentioned Britney Spears – that’s just about all the Wikipedia Project needs to gain credibility as an international encyclopedia: Britney Spears fans tagging and preparing articles on Guggenheim Fellows for deletion!

Erielhonan (a designer of vanity userboxes) an avowed admirer of yours, has stated: “He has a keen eye for non-notable, commercial, and vanity submissions, and has been a strong force in pushing other editors (myself included) to make their new article submissions better, sooner rather than later. Through his pace, his judgement, and his firm but cordial dialog with other editors he does a great service toward keeping Wikipedia relevant and clean of bad stubs. Keep up the good work!”

Flattered by such compliments you have moved to new frontiers. Your page states: “I am currently writing a draft for a fact checking team. Everyone is welcome to comment on or edit the proposal.”

May Wikimedia Foundation Inc. be spared from any “fact checking team” you may lead into the stormy frontiers of human knowledge and well referenced important facts. Behold thyself Jimmy Wales for peril is at your heels! Moshe-paz 13:05, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
