I think it's a powerful statement about human nature that it's possible to set up a platform like Wikipedia and have it become a repository of knowledge rather than the kind of vitriol-spattered shambles that is so much of the user-generated Internet.

William Prendergast Inside Chappaqua Phelps Memorial Hospital Center

Socialism intentionally ignores a major aspect of human psychology, the urge toward ownership, and that both did so quite deliberately in the apparent conviction that such a basic component of our makeup can be ignored without serious problems. It doesn't work, especially not for the egocentric and arrogant American people.

people with all different kinds of involvement — people who create new articles, people who whip old ones into shape, copyeditors, researchers, stylists and word geeks

It is much more important that Wikipedia be inclusive, even at the fault of occasionally including information that might be considered (by some) to be "trivial", than it is to be exclusive, at the penalty of not including information that it interesting and informative. When in doubt, information should be published rather than suppressed. The general rule of thumb should be to err on the side of inclusion.

They're constrained by print-era thinking. What harm does it do if an online reference has a long tail of articles that are only interesting to a few people, so long as everyone can still find whatever they're looking for?

people think I'm organized, but I just like to procrastinate

"You know how sometimes people will ask you what musical album you would want to have with you if stranded on a desert island? If every single Internet page but one had to be annihilated, I would choose to save Wikipedia. Sure, we're not perfect. But Wikipedia is still a largely reliable and highly inclusive effort that any encyclopedia or online project should very much envy. To me, Wikipedia represents everything good about the internet."

"The one stance I take is that I am vehemently against concepts such as notability because, in my opinion, just about anything can potentially educate and expand people's knowledge no matter how banal and trite the subject may seem for some. Even if it only helps one person learn one small iota of nonsense, it should be included."

Wikipedia is not reliable - paraphrase - I've seen this statement quoted numerous times by users. First off, if Wikipedia is not intended to be a reliable source, what are we doing here? Is this simply an interactive video game? Second, it's odd that it comes from admins who are quick to revert. The statement gives them more things to delete. I suspect for them this is an interactive video game. Third, isn't there some discretion involved here? There are many Wikipedia articles that are much more reliable than the Encyclopedia Britannica, 99.8% of the stuff on the Web, the GOP, and most of the "sources" used for other Wikipedia articles, which are held in such reverence because they are reliable (i.e., they exist). All of this is another unfortunate consequence of an organization that believes that editorial ability can be determined by a popular vote.

What world would we live in if every sentence in every article in the whole of Wikipedia had to be cited? That is preposterous and unrealistic. Wikipedia's policies declare it unnecessary and unrealistic for every sentence in every article to have a citation.

Are we really guilty until proven innocent?

If someone publishes a work as their own, should they really need to provide hefty evidence? And where is the line of how much evidence you would need? Do you really need to have a photo of me holding a printed copy of the image? Though can't I easily forge that with photo-editing? This is ridiculous. United States courts established 'innocent until proven guilty' because it makes sense.

A Far Cry from the Greatness of Bacon Everything I touch turns to cold. Humans have no need for infrastructure, technology, civilisation, or other aspects seemingly key to modern life. Humans are a species as a part of nature, and living in and with nature once again will work wonderfully, as we are symbiotically linked to work beautifully together.

Back hundreds of years ago, education was little more than a supplement to knowledge. Yet as it stands today, for a person to have real knowledge is just a mere supplement to their education.

Write on my cognitive dissonance, how my inner strife has been tearing at me since I grew up and realised the duality of my thoughts. And every day, I feel discomfort, disequilibrium, frustration, dread, guilt, anger, and embarrassment.

Hello, I will shortly be using this account to suggest changes to articles related to Interactive Brokers. I'm aware that there are guidelines about editing pages if there is a potential conflict of interest, so I would like to disclose here that these contributions are made on behalf of Interactive Brokers and in consultation with them, and I intend to follow all of Wikipedia's guidelines, including those on WP:COI, WP:RS, WP:V and WP:NPOV, very closely. My aim is to work with and seek advice from impartial editors to make positive contributions to the Interactive Brokers and Thomas Peterffy articles, hopefully leading to much improved articles. On any pages where I look for assistance, I will be sure to disclose my relationship to Interactive Brokers in the interests of transparency. If you would like to help me, please let me know. Thanks,-- ɱ  (talk)  20:03, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

I will usually reply here, so you should watchlist this page while awaiting a response. If I left you a message, please reply on your talk page.

In fact, virtually none of the talks I watched were particularly new or original – presentations that are that well-polished rarely are.

===============================================================



The East Coast of the United States, also known as the Eastern Seaboard or the Atlantic Seaboard and commonly shortened to East Coast, refers to the easternmost coast in the United States along the Atlantic Ocean. The term includes the U.S. states of (from north to south): Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.

The East Coast is a low-relief, passive margin coast.

In 2010, the population of the East Coast states, extending from Maine to Florida, was estimated at 112,642,503 (36% of the country's total population). The seaboard is susceptible to hurricanes in the Atlantic hurricane season, officially running from June 1 to November 30, although hurricanes can occur before or after these dates.

The primary Interstate Highway along the East Coast is Interstate 95. The East Coast, from Norfolk, Virginia to Miami, Florida is connected by the Intracoastal Waterway, also known as the East Coast Canal, which was completed in 1912.

Major cities
Major metropolitan areas on the East Coast include (from north to south):
 * Portland
 * Manchester
 * Albany
 * Boston
 * Springfield
 * Providence
 * Hartford
 * New Haven
 * Bridgeport
 * New York
 * Jersey City

Railroad
Amtrak's Silver Star and Silver Meteor lines originate at New York City and stop at Miami, Florida.

Physical geography
Significant bodies of water and regions along the East Coast include (from south to north):


 * Cape Canaveral

Inclusion of states
The term "East Coast" is often associated with the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic United States, particularly for cultural concepts such as an "Eastern college" or "East-coast liberal" or the "I-95 Corridor" (referring to Interstate 95). The states usually included in this concept are Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York, and the states of New England as well as the District of Columbia. The Southeastern portion of the coast from Virginia to Florida is more typically associated culturally with the larger American South. "East Coast" also refers even more to the highly urbanized strip along the coast from Boston, to Washington, D.C., which is also known as the "Northeast Corridor", a definition which excludes the less densely populated areas of Upstate New York, Western Pennsylvania, and northern New England.

History
First encountered by Europeans in 1524 by Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, this region of the North American continent became part of the Atlantic world, and had elaborate trade interconnections with Britain, France, Africa, as well as with the British, French and Spanish colonies of the New World. It was also the scene of large scale colonization by the British starting in the 1580s. Some colonies failed but most thrived. On the other hand the Dutch, Swedish, Spanish and other colonies were eventually taken over by the English speakers. A series of wars between Britain and the French (and Indians), and Spanish, and then wars between the Americans and the British and their Indian allies, kept the frontier regions violent down to 1814. The Americans grew rapidly, and moved to frontiers in the west, and also to the North and South, in unstoppable waves after 1750. The attempts by the (British) Government to prevent European settlement west of the Appalachians (in order to pacify former Native American allies following Pontiac's War) were a primary cause of the American colonist's rebellion. The very rapid demographic growth was due to enormous amounts of good land, ample food, and a favorable disease environment. The Americans doubled in number every 25 years by natural increase. This was augmented before 1775 by steady flows of new migrants from Britain, as well as large numbers from Germany, plus slave purchases. Immigration fell off after 1775, then resumed about 1840. Millions of "old" immigrants came from Britain, Ireland, Germany and Scandinavia before 1890, and even more millions came from Southern and Eastern Europe between 1890 and 1914, when war and immigration restrictions stopped most population movement. Large scale immigration did not resume until the 1960s.

The 13 colonies developed their own political culture in the 18th century, called republicanism. They began to revolt in 1775, creating the United States of America in 1776.

Culturally it is also where most of the first wave of immigrants from Europe settled before America began its western expansion. The Appalachian Trail runs through most of these states from Maine through Georgia. Historically the Mason-Dixon Line cuts this area in half at the northern border of Maryland, which still indicates a cultural change. Through the course of early United States history, the Eastern Coast was divided over many issues including slavery. In the 1860s this came to a head and the Civil War broke out. This war was fought mostly in East Coast states, including Maryland, Virginia, and North and South Carolina.
