User talk:Dnagod

Welcome!

Hi Dnagod, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!

Editing tutorial, learn to have fun with Wikipedia. Picture tutorial, instructions on uploading images. How to write a great article, to make it an featured article status. Manual of Style, how articles should be written.

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism. Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable. Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created. Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one. Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!

Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

Arbitration

I think you misunderstand the purpose of arbitration. They don't determine article content, rather they decide which users to ban or restrict. You need to avoid them, not seek them out, as their quite likely to ban you. See [1], [2], etc... Jimbo is the owner, and he doesn't like stromfront, holocaust denial, etc...

I tell you this with absolute honesty and sincerety, all I want to see is a fair, balanced and neutral wikipedia which allows all points of view, one that does not tolerate personal attacks and censorship. I hope to work within the system to achieve these ends. There are seriously, and I say this not as a personal insult to anyone, just as a factual observation, there are far too many people on wikipedia with an agenda to prevent fair, open and neutral content on Jewish oriented topics or topics which involve Jews, Judaism, Israel, Zionism and related areas. If I should fail to win in the struggle for genuine neutrality, fairness, bias free and high degree of legitimate POV, then so be it i'll start my own wikipedia.

It's open source, so that’s entirely possible. I think you can DL the wikipedia content as well. It’s referred to as a fork. On this particular fork, there are a variety of POV groups, not only Jewish, which have enough numbers to influence their preferred pages content. Our consensus / majoritarian system of determining article content is largely controlled by the demographics of a particular page. Admins end up with more say than ordinary users, and the "in crowd" on the mailing list has an exponentially greater influence than they. Perhaps for that reason, many editors prefer editing obscure pages, rather than popular or controversial ones. Recently the obscurity of the page is less of a factor however, as certain users have lists of names of people to email for votes on matters relating to their party line (such as Jewish ethnocentrism). Your going to want to think about where you will get the developers and the servers necessary if your going to create a fork. If you end up doing it, I highly recomend you call it "Nazipedia" ;) (Sam Spade | talk | contributions) 21:42, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

ok, I like the idea in concept, but i dont like the name. What kind of server do I need? would a dual xeon work? Also how many servers do I need? and where can I go to look up all the information available for setting up a fork? I am very interested in doing this, and I think if I set up PC Free encyclopedia it would act as a vacuum and literally suck all the (what you call) "nazis" and fellow travellers off wikipedia, so you would get your wish of having a politically incorrect FREE wikipedia.

Note to Jimbo

I moved your note to Jimbo to here, I hope you don't mind. See Wikipedia:Talk page, your liable to piss him off extra by writing on his page, and besides, somebody would have probably deleted it before he read it. (Sam Spade | talk | contributions) 22:04, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

To be fair...

To be fair, I also don't like stormfront, holocaust denial etc....you should always try and keep your POV out of articles...--Mrfixter 21:32, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
