User:Enquire



I subscribe to the philosophy that Wikipedia should be a fountain of information which is comprised of two crucial and fundamental bodies of information: The World Wide Web (WWW) directly alludes to this in that the WWW was always intended to be a web of information, where the threads of the web - the linkages between nodes - is explicitly paramount. While not wishing to encourage or enable the creation of frivolous or commercial advertising or other info-junk, it is recognized that early versions of pages recently created may be short or lack detailed citations, they are often placeholders that provide a venue for other editors to contribute to and to set in motion the foundations for an emerging notable article. I say this from experience of having created a new article, typically something new, and then find that - within a few hours - some other user has deleted it, before I or others have a reasonable opportunity to expand and consolidate the article. I have also witnessed where deletion of redirects has essentially broken the threads that connect notable Wikipedia articles. I also have an account Erkundigen, primarily for use on the German Wikipedia (someone else created an account called "Enquire" on that project).
 * nodal articles which summarise what we, collectively, know about a subject
 * threads that link nodal articles, so as to assist users in piecing together the fragments of knowledge that have been compiled in nodal articles

If you are Enquire on de.wiki; I will be happy to give you Erkundigen, which is a fully unified Single User Logon (SUL) that is valid on ALL Wikimedia sites. Why? You can trade your single Wiki user account for a universal accound for ALL Wikimedia sites and I can then merge the Enquire account that you have now on de.wiki and make into a fully unified Single User Logon (SUL). We both win, because we will both end-up with fully unified Single User Logon (SUL) accounts ... something neither of us have up till now.
