My personal wiki resources under development

[edit]

My theme-based bibliographies These are pages with bibliographic references I've used in theme-related articles that I may want to use again as new articles are created or more content from these articles is added to wiki.

    • Homelessness in Canada Annotated Bibliography and Timeline
    • First Nations
    • Inuit
    • Selected bibliography on caribou
    • Cheslatta First Nation
    • [User:Oceanflynn/sandbox/woodland caribou woodland caribou] Considering a potential article entitled Woodland caribou. There are three subspecies of caribou in Canada. The two others have their own articles. Two ecotypes of Woodland caribou have their own articles but many academic papers deal with the subspecies Woodland caribou and there is a lot of material on this threatened species in Canada.
  • My wikibooks These are works in progress used as a tool to find and organize wikipedia articles on themes on which I am working.

    • Hydraulic fracturing Wiki uses the term hydraulic fracturing instead of fracking, which occurs more often in ant-fracking movement and environmental literature.
    • Oil sands
    • oil by rail
    • Paid editing on Wikipedia This is just a stub. There is currently a discussion on a talk page about changing a section of the policy on paid editing. I am unable to find it again but in my search I found these articles, organizations, etc on paid editing and on Press releases/Sue Gardner statement paid advocacy editing As a volunteer it is discouraging that there is so much paid editing that it requires a policy allowing these editors to become authorized simply by adding something to an article's talk page or their user page. Paid editors have time and resources to undo the work of volunteers by adding a word such as "only" in a sentence and changing the entire sentence. The European Union found that using wikipedia as a source of promotion without disclosure was against the law.

The use of blasphemy in edit summaries

[edit]

Surprised by this edit summary, "jesus christ, how many clauses are you going to stuff into a single sentence?", I took time to consider the use of language not so much the use of clauses... This [on Blasphamy discusses the use of blasphemy on talk pages, and at least one editor, user:93.133.216.20 explained that for them "Jesus Christ! You really did that?" is not disrespectful.

Well, calling myself back a bit ... "Jesus Christ! You really did that?" is not blasphemy, true so far, but it is in general taking the Name of the Lord in vain ("profanity"), and this is a mortal sin generically according to Prof. Elger, Lehrbuch der kath. Moraltheologie citing St. Alphonse, but "since many people do not think about what they are talking, there is only venial sin in them" according to St. Alphonse. Blasphemy and profanity are different matters. Even generically, the latter is while mortal, yet so-to-speak not the dangerous monster which blasphemy is. The words could possibly be uttered as a prayer but we wouldn't count on it the way people talk (and understand), that's where I was too rash. However let's keep our Chesterton in mind that while reverence towards God's Name is all fine and even an obligation, profanity is a witness of religiousness; and while it's a sin to profane the Name of God, it's worse to hold it as non-existent." user:93.133.216.20
