Do put a call into Holmes and Watson, or at least Miss Marple, I dare say. <br /><br />Serio, re-perusing a few wikis I wd agree there's often bias---the wiki-wizards tend to find one "scholar" on a topic, and he spouts away, with little input . On broader subjects there may be some debate/dissent, but with philosophical topics it's often just a quick run-down from one appointed guru (lets hope not a follower of Miss Rand). <br /><br />But..actually I agree with the one long-hair programmer now asking for donations--wikis do provide a valuable service, and should be supported.

...>>Is there more here you aren't saying?<br /><br />Not much more. There was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Square_of_opposition&action=history" rel="nofollow">a series of vandalistic edits</a> to that article, as well as to other articles on the subject of logic and medieval philosophy, by different accounts such as ‘Dunz Scotuz’, ‘Billy Ockham’ etc – follow User:Ckatz’s edit trail to find them all. My own account was (wrongly) identified as the source, but a ‘sockpuppet investigation’ cleared me. I honestly don’t know who Johnny the Vandal is. A kind administrator (Alison) eventually cleared up the problem – see the discussion <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Pointillist&oldid=462228884" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I thought Alison's last comment was thoughtful. Wikipedia has a way of turning small disputes into mountainous piles of toxic waste. <br /><br />Why ‘Johnny’ is reverting links to the Logic Museum (my website) I don’t quite know. I expect he saw my post in Wikipedia Review about it, and thought it would be fun.Edward Ockhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07583379503310147119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21308815.post-57980651941802185692011-11-24T11:20:56.523+00:002011-11-24T11:20:56.523+00:00Interesting that the only edit was http://en.wikip...Interesting that the only edit was http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Square_of_opposition&diff=prev&oldid=461922791, which adds http://www.logic--museum.com/cantor/Eximport.htm<br /><br />Is there more here you aren't saying?William M.
