How Wikipedia works...

We make maximum sense of the words and thoughts of others when we interpret in a way that optimises agreement

Who's a naughty boy...
An RfC against me...

An aid to criticism
You are welcome to add your own to this list...

Some people think…; Some say that…; means I think this next bit is wrong.

Most people think…; Experts agree that…; means I think this next bit is right.

Essentially, (followed by a trite explanation) means I couldn’t be bothered doing a decent job on this bit

In fact..., or The fact that...(followed by some statement) means that the statement is certainly wrong.

Anyone who has read the topic (or book or author) will know that… Means I havn’t read it, so I’ll just make this next bit up….

Controversial means I don't like it, but cannot figure out quite why.

Arguably means I'm afraid you'll argue this point, so I'll say arguably in hopes I can slip it by.

Surely... means I think that...

we all know that... means I know this is wrong, but I want to see if I can slip it past you...

Key conceptual tools
Hanlon's razor: Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

People of note
Josiah S. Carberry, who first systematised psycoceramics.

The wisdom of the editors

 * Certainly there is such a thing as false knowledge.
 * Why I Am Not a Christian is a "Non-notable essay, no assertion of notability" and although Russell "is apparently notable himself" - it should be deleted.
 * Wittgenstein couldn't spell
 * Nor could Hume

Things to remember
