Personal Opinions on Editing Wikipedia

• An encyclopedia is poor source of info regarding a controversial topic. Having opposing sides presented while being conscious of WP:DUE is more ideal, actually it's dialectic
• If a particular philosophy sounds ridiculous, especially in the lead, then it probably has POV problems that stem from the page being edited by it's philosophical opponents
• Citing sources and/or wikipedia policies during discussions is essential.
• Just say no
• 500 edits seems like a lot

Articles I've Created

• 2019 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships
• AJ Agazarm
• Dillon Danis (helped)
• Matuse
• The Lobby (TV series)

Projects

• Operation Paper

Things To Remember

• Illegitimi non carborundum

• Wikipedia:Tertiary-source fallacy

A. The tertiary-source fallacy (TSF) is the idea that because something appears in a dictionary, encyclopedia, style guide, or other tertiary source that it must be correct (or, especially, that it is the only correct version or interpretation), and that it trumps other arguments and evidence.
