Thanks for ArbCom run[edit]

I have finished my run for Wikipedia Arbitration Committee, unfortunatly I did not win, but I would like to thank all that voted for me and I will continue to contribute to the Wiki Community.


One of Cunning's Greatest Moments:[edit]

I would just like to say my two cents on this issue. First of all, I'd like to say that I consider myself a normal, rational, moral person. I definitely do not believe Wikipedia should be a "free-for-all" and I have found that Wikipedia has done fairly well at editing out images that have no purpose other than to shock. However, I have to wonder if User: IZAK is not pulling some huge joke on us. Wikipedia become a pornographic site? Wikipedia becoming a "sewer"? Are you serious? I have to seriously wonder if it is not you, IZAK, who has the problem. I think as has been demonstrated in this discussion most people have no objection to the images of nude human beings on here. Pornography is meant to sexually stimulate through mental imagery and honestly it seems like you are the only one on here who is being sexually stimulated by the images you object to, as you constantly refer to them as "sexy" and "alluring" while most people here consider them simple images of humans. To address the second issue, I believe it was User: Samboy who made a good comment about how some people might object to nudity, etc. and decide not to visit Wikipedia. That is an excellent point, but what can I say? There has always been such a divide between what certain people might consider objectionable and what the greater community might. This is nothing new and is most certainly not unique to Wikipedia. I also do not believe we will solve such a divide anytime soon here on Wikipedia as in order to do so we would have to have everyone see the world through objective eyes which is impossible. My personal suggestion is that a warning be posted on the main Wikipedia page warning that this website should only be used under Parental/Adult Supervision. This is overdue as due to the nature of Wiki-editing and of an encyclopedia itself, material can always be questionable. Also, it would do away with a lot of the arguments of people like IZAK and give the rest of us freer reign and freedom from nudity-censorship. Secondly I would like to point out that I beleive we are doing a good job. Contrary to IZAK's beliefs, Wikipedia is FAR, FAR from being anything remotely pornographic and I believe the vast majority of people who visit do not go away offended. Lets keep up the good job and fight censorship. -CunningLinguist 12:29, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Democratic Wiki[edit]

I have an idea to start a Democratic Party/Left-Wing/Progressive/Liberals wiki community/project that would be run by and for Liberals/Progressives where we could all share our ideas, thoughts, plans, viewpoints and have direct access to the Party from the people and from the people to the Party. I find Wiki to be one of the most egalitarian/democratic forms of communication and apt for a Democratic website. It could become a central repository of liberal blogs and ideas. I feel this is what is badly needed for us Dems, however I lack the knowledge, skills and resources to make this come to fruition. If you know of something similar to this, drop me a message or if you are interested in further pursuing this vision and share my sentiments also drop me a msg please. -CunningLinguist

Music Pages[edit]

I would just like to say I find the format used on the U2 article discography great. I am of course referring to the listing of albums and the listing of song titles in a sub-list below the album title. This prevents users from having to surf to the Album's article page to find the song listing. I find it greatly helpful and awesome and I think it would be sweet if people followed that format in future band pages or changed previous ones. I know if I have the time I will try to implement it on some pages. I just wanted to share that and if you agree with me then write about it on your user page as well please. :) -CunningLinguist 06:53, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
