Why does WP actually encourage people who have specific interests (and thus, possibly, POV) to edit the articles? I actually wonder why conventional encyclopedias are written by people who are experts in the subjects (and, again, a possible POV) too.
I mean, I know that this is standard (it's just a personal curiosity) but what's the difference between a CEO writing its company's article and a person with an interest in dinosaurs writing about them? Both like the subject. --

(undent) Well, critical thinking is a kind of mechanical approach to thought, which is to say any two critical thinkers should be able to reach the same conclusions from the same data; or, if they disagree, they understand exactly where one or both of them hold beliefs that go beyond the available data (i.e., where one or both arbitrarily choose to think uncritically). Conflict of interest is a guideline rather than a policy on Wikipedia. WP:COI merely tells people who have a potential conflict of interest what to watch out for. If they are able to discipline themselves enough to write to encyclopedic standards, for example refraining from peacock language, the diverse community of Wikipedia users may judge their work to be of featured article quality. The Microsoft article, for example, is that good, and if anyone seriously believes that article contains no input from any Microsoft employee or stockholder, then I have a bridge to sell you. The article almost certainly contains input from opponents or competitors of Microsoft as well. The beauty of the wiki model is that people who understand the basics of critical thinking can rise above their personal agendas to some extent and converge on a neutral description of a subject through many iterations of collaborative editing. We probably have an even greater potential problem in articles about religion, because at least a businessperson knows when he or she is lying. -- Teratornis ( talk) 07:05, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
I think this thread is about the different meanings of "interested" that can only be spotted by reference to their opposites:
Thak you for this help desk. I've been scratching my head for a long time but have been unable to find a solution.
Question 1: Why can't I see the image on Brazilian_waxing page and why I have to click on the image to see it. Is it because of syntax error?
Question 2: Images [ [1]] and [ [2]]share the same name but are at different locations (wikipedia and wikimedia commons respectively). How do you display the appropriate image in the relevant article? The wikipedia extended image syntax will apparently display only wikipedia image and not wimedia commons image.

I am very distressed about the situation. There are some editor refusing to back down and making us have "resistance movement" in the article about Tamil tigers. I have said many times that this is unfair as my friends were hurt in LTTE bombing and that if anyone tried to do this on article about Al Qaeda it would be reverted straight away if they said AQ was a "resistance movement".

Dear Sir/Madam of Wikipedia,
I’m currently studying Multimedia Systems at a Degree level at Liverpool John Moores University. I’m contacting companies to help me gather research website data for my final year project, each company which helps me will receive a copy of my project findings at the conclusion of the project.
The aim of the report is to study why users return back to websites and what types of content people are most attracted to; the reason for this is that there are plenty of guides available which identify how to design an interface; however I couldn’t find any research books on what types of content makes a user come back to a site.
When one considers that corporate companies try to attract visitors to their sites to promote the brand, the use of the project comes into light.
17:50, 22 January 2008 (UTC) To complete the research project, I need website statistical data to compare with other websites from other companies, your companies privacy will be respected in the project and your company is not referred to at any point in the project, only as website 2, 3, 4 etc. 81.102.75.52 ( talk) 17:50, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
I would sincerely appreciate any help you may be able to offer.

Thanks Guys, this looks like it'll be a huge help. I had a brief look at Nielsens books, but must have missed something along the way. The main aim is to look at why people come back to sites and what particular content people find addictive. It's true, that without a good interface, the user will not return to the website, but without that extra special idea to make the interface appealing, the user won't return to the website.

This is not a question, but you'd better check the Health Ledger article. There is an extremely pornographic image at the top. Not sure how something like that happens, but I'm sure you will want to remove it. 24.173.10.190 ( talk) 22:24, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Why does WP actually encourage people who have specific interests (and thus, possibly, POV) to edit the articles? I actually wonder why conventional encyclopedias are written by people who are experts in the subjects (and, again, a possible POV) too.

(undent) Well, critical thinking is a kind of mechanical approach to thought, which is to say any two critical thinkers should be able to reach the same conclusions from the same data; or, if they disagree, they understand exactly where one or both of them hold beliefs that go beyond the available data (i.e., where one or both arbitrarily choose to think uncritically). Conflict of interest is a guideline rather than a policy on Wikipedia. WP:COI merely tells people who have a potential conflict of interest what to watch out for. If they are able to discipline themselves enough to write to encyclopedic standards, for example refraining from peacock language, the diverse community of Wikipedia users may judge their work to be of featured article quality. The Microsoft article, for example, is that good, and if anyone seriously believes that article contains no input from any Microsoft employee or stockholder, then I have a bridge to sell you. The article almost certainly contains input from opponents or competitors of Microsoft as well. The beauty of the wiki model is that people who understand the basics of critical thinking can rise above their personal agendas to some extent and converge on a neutral description of a subject through many iterations of collaborative editing. We probably have an even greater potential problem in articles about religion, because at least a businessperson knows when he or she is lying. -- Teratornis ( talk) 07:05, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

All I want to do is let someone know that when I went to Heath Ledger's page today, there was a giant picture of a man's genetalia on it.
Please remove it.
This is not a question, but you'd better check the Health Ledger article. There is an extremely pornographic image at the top. Not sure how something like that happens, but I'm sure you will want to remove it. 24.173.10.190 ( talk) 22:24, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Upon the recent news of Heath Ledger's death, I searched his page in Wikipedia. Saddly, I found that someone currupted the page so that a picture of an erect penis floats over the page. This is highly upsetting and should be removed immediatly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.242.115.104 ( talk) 22:24, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Someone has put an obscene image on the Recent Deaths page. Please someone remove it. Thank you. Polarbear97 ( talk) 22:38, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm looking for a userscript which allows you to see the results of <references/> automatically when previewing a section of a page containing <ref> ... </ref> links. I'm sure I saw discussion of this at the Village pump or here within the last few weeks, but I've searched archives and not found it. Maybe it was longer ago. -- Coppertwig ( talk) 22:49, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
I have a question of my own about references. It pertains to Atlantis SquarePantis. There are several explanatory notes intermixed with the references. Is there a way I can split up the notes and references into two sections? NF24( radio me!) 23:21, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
