From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an essay, a curriculum, and personal wikiproject, like my other wikipages. This wikiproject is a transcendent one, aimed at improving the comprehensive reliability of the public education system, of the average public library, and of wikipedia as a whole, in reverse order. My resume of articles created, translated, improved, or works in progress, is found on my encyclopedic resume on my main user page, and is arranged to describe how I began to realize the design that is stated here. This project design document expands my earlier stated thesis that the fulfillment of the WP:Encyclopedia's mission is itself an act of WP:Righting Great Wrongs, and we should all strive to be complicit in this.

Dewey Decimal Classification system formulated in 1876 by Melvil Dewey.

Thomas Jefferson, whose library at Monticello consisted of thousands of books, devised a classification system which grouped books more or less by subject, rather than alphabetically, [1], and provided the start of what became the Library of Congress.[2]
