Re countercultures & "reliable published sources"

WikiProject Peace; To User:Greeves 2009.0221

re WikiProject Peace, 2008, R.I.P. discussion moved from User talk:Greeves#Wikipedia:WikiProject Peace

Good Morning Greeves! Hi..., I'm searching for a way to organize editor support around addressing what I see as ongoing issues of wikimedia:meta#Tunnel vision#Western imperialism and wikimedia:meta#Tunnel vision#The encyclopedia that Slashdot built. (I give examples at Hilarleo/ Countercultures & "reliable published sources" or Hilarleo to Greeves, 2009.0221 )

Anyway there exist editors who share the belief that

1). there is no reason to believe a median sample of the most widely available "verifiable sources" is WP:NPOV;

2). this political problem embraces WP and tends to create partisan conflicts in the WP community;

3). at least until WP:Policy becomes more subtle, a radical (as in "root"), fundamental and inherent NPOV should be encouraged via a broadly organized Editorial agenda" of education and activism concerning cultural threats to NPOV.

So I'd hoped to find an extant 'WikiProject Peace' to work with. The March 2008 'WP:WikiProject Peace' deletion arguments consistnetly note one problem: the interminable possibilities represented by such a name name. This also points out how necessary this projet is. Could you refer me to any alternative existing group with similar broad interests (as opposed to specific conflicts)?

Or would you be inclined to support any 'WikiProject Peace' with closely-identified goals? Say, WP:WikiProject Peace and Resolution? WP:WikiProject Conflict Studies? WP:WikiProject Imperialism? WP:WikiProject International Corporation? WP:WikiProject Military-Industrial Complex? Another notion I had was to work within the extant WP:WikiProject Military History- our natural home- but that could surely confuse or distress some of that group! But- Better suggestions...?

PS- this user page is large enough to cause me problems. I'd prefer to take the discussion elsewhere- ie.,Hilarleo to Greeves, 2009.0221. Thank you for your time. Hilarleo ^Hey,L.E.O.v 20:04, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

User talk:Hilarleo#William Leonard Pickard- re LSD magnate William Leonard Pickard

I find your edits problematic, most notably in terms of NPOV, BLP, and REF. Please review those three pages and begin making use of references whenever you add content. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 12:07, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

LEftover notions

In the meantime with this Pickard case, the prosecutors have been repeatedly embarrassed by the case and apparently in consequence haven't been forthcoming with hard information.

I am not finished with this reply.

Re countercultures & "reliable published sources" Normal lag-time for publication of leading-edge material can be as much as a generation; but in the case of governments now actively suppressing information, the lag-time cannot be defined. Interesting is the case of "National Security" or "Military Interest". Though my life major revelations have continued concerning WWII. OTOH WWI was the subject of a major congressional investigation and exposure in the 1950's and the scale of revelations slowed. In the interim information concerning the sources of and the beneficiaries of the war was available- but it was not widely published or available to society. in documenting some leading edges of culture.
