THE PEANUT GALLERY[edit]
Since arriving at Wikipedia, I have been extremely amused by the idiocy of idealogues who have attacked me. When I edited the article on Michael Milken, I was accused of being a "socialist" by a self-described libertarian. When I edited the article on Dependency theory, I was accused of being a "right-winger."
When one is accused by both sides of the idealogical spectrum, it's a sure sign that you're doing something right. --L. 18:26, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
Watch the Postmodernist Try and Make an Argument[edit]
- Ideology can not be transcended by pretending that one has none. Everyone has a limited POV and it is only through having our limited points of view challenged by others that we might get out from under our prejudices. Claims of infallible unbiasedness are a sure sign that precisely the opposite is true. Betamod
If You're Against Convicted Felons, You're A Fascist![edit]
- The US govt used Gestapo-like tactics to force Milken to settle. Milken had no choice but to settle. The Milken trial was political rabble rousing of the worst sort, usually reserved to Stalinist show trials. I've lived in a socialist country, and believe me, it's not fun. 69.107.96.61
Only the Pure-Of-Heart Need Apply[edit]
I don't usually see that "Hey! I just wrote this" glory line in discussion pages: just yours, so if you keep saying something like this after every article you write, I for one will begin to suspect your motives. The point is that users appreciate the existence of a Wikipedia entry, but if they want to discuss it and the first thing they see is you puffing up your chest, they may be put off contributing. If your'e gonna do it, do it for the right reasons. Oh, and thanks for the "The Theory of the Leisure Class" article.
Don't let it go to your head though.

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
