You found a small piece of CJ Hilty's Conscience on Wikipedia.

[edit]

I believe that the first edit I made to Wikipedia—adding a link to a team in the FIRST Championship Article page—was removed hastily because of automated and automation-like editing decisions. Upon any form of inspection, the site is clearly a real website for the team in question. The purpose of this opinion is not to bring the Wikipedia project into disrepute. Rather, it is a critique of the tendency of Wikipedia to emphasize the generalization that if an outside source does not verify the content, it is not real, even if it is verifiable by other, more holistic, yet certainly universal, basic, and human means. I would like to call upon the anecdote of Jimmy Wales talking about his own struggle to maintain August 7, 1966 as his stated birth date. I understand that Wikipedia is not lacking for vehement editors. This may be categorized under a broader topic called Deletionism. The energetic, first-to-get-it-right effect of Wikipedia is not supported by the prevailing tendency of bots and bot-like humans to delete first, and I'm certainly no longer at a disposition to write much for Wikipedia. I'll likely bring my total edits up to 10, and then make edits whenever I find it useful.

You can edit this page!

Yes, you! You won't change my actual conscience, but you will change the part of my conscience stored on Wikipedia.
