''notes toward a manifesto


 * 1) Deletionism for its own sake is a form of nihilism. Rubbish tends to get taken out without any extreme exertion. You know: NOTPAPER.
 * 2) Ignorance is never a proper basis for censorious action. If you think something is non-notable, and you are alien to the relevant context, you may be an improper judge.
 * 3) But, of course, ignorance is not a form of malice. WP:goodfaith
 * 4) Minor edits are not always minor.
 * 5) Bias against IP-identified users is wrong, and even if most vandalism comes from anonymous users, the bots that target them with impunity need to be leashed. Anyone who edits without bothering to log in has faced these problems - which drives new people away from the project. Institutionalization, technocracy, and the regime of robotic fiat means death to the project.
 * 6) Ceaseless alteration of basic markup and administrative channels also punishes non-obsessive users. With every tweak, Wikipedia becomes less democratic. Consistency, even to the point of redundancy, is more important than efficiency.
 * 7) The current policies on "living persons" are comically cautious and counter to the idea of the free spread of information. It's only libel if you're wrong; and published rumors are perfectly legitimate sources, if used with careful discrimination. Let us hire more lawyers specializing in libel, ramp up RC patrol, and dispense with invariably self-censorious temerity.
 * 8) We must invest a serious amount of labor in adapting to the changing technological environment: as much as one may abhor those who access the internet primarily through their phones, this population is growing and, at present, the barriers make it frustratingly difficult to make even minor edits; to me, at least, writing a long-form article on an iPhone is unthinkable at present.
 * 9) Increase pace of translation exponentially, particularly with "minor" linguistic communities with a disproportionate stature in literary and political history (i.e., Dutch, and major linguistic communities with disproportionately low representation on the internet (e.g., Bantu and other indigenous African languages) due to the inequity of the distribution of power-knowledge in societies deemed insignificant by the machinations of global capital.
 * 10) Organize groups of specialists, in or out of academia, to work on neglected subjects. Given the precarity of academic labor, there are strong incentives to hoard research for publication given the necessity of novelty in scholarship; however, someone writing a dissertation on Dickens could surely write with authority on Thackeray, for example, without taking on such risks.
 * 11) Heated argumentation is not antagonistic to the mission of Wikipedia; indeed, it is essential. In the balance, the decline of the chaotic edit wars of years past is a blessing; false consensus and the sufferance of (unrepentant/pointlessly mischievous) fools is a curse.
