 * I will reply here, rather than on the forum, since I made a vow to my wife to avoid the forum for a while. But I still find the Wiki a useful place to come when I need to procrastinate, as over the last week or so. You can reply by placing your comment on the end of this - I will see it in my watchlist - or by going to my talk page: User talk:Banno. Or you can email me directly from the link on my user page.


 * I am keen to encourage you to write some more on the Wiki. Of course, my preference would be for you to write for the English, rather than Finnish, Wiki. There are so few good writers, (I don't count myself amongst them, but I would count you) and even fewer who haev a background in philosophy. The result is that the most popular on-line resource is full of badly written rubbish. Getting Kant's mother's maiden name wrong would be typical of the lack of care taken. Checking sources for accuracy tends to be either an afterthought or a rhetorical tool to get rid of things editors don't like.


 * There are a very small number of trained or professional philosophers working on the wiki. They tend to work on obscure articles that are less likely to attract the attention of the trolls, or to avoid philosophical articles altogether. None that I know of have an expertise in Kant or Hegel.


 * Good luck with your writing. I hope you find the time to do some more editing here. It is a very good way to procrastinate. Time for me to do some work. Banno 22:00, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again for welcoming me. Sounds like you have been doing some serious procrastinating for your wife to use her power on you so. I am sure that you would like for me to write to the English Wiki, and I might, but at the moment my preference is the Finnish one, given the overpowering cultural force of English that threatens to make anything written in Finnish obsolete. People do not read Finnish in Finland that much and therefore most scholars write in English, and for that reason the Finnish texts available for those not proficient in English are mostly crap. For that reason I am also working on a Finnish Kant-introduction; there is basically none available in the scope of a book. I also think that the English page is far better than the Finnish one at the moment.

Anyway, I hope to have the time to contribute. There is also this problem that I find it difficult to extensively edit other people's text (if it is not corrections of language). My brain seems to work so that things "pour out of me" in a certain order and I get confused if that flow is cut -- I even have trouble producing a paper that combines parts of my earlier written texts. Of course, I can manage, but it takes extra effort.

I hope there will be no trolling or something like that in the Kant-pages, because I certainly have no time to go around fixing their messes... -- Morrandir

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Morrandir. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Morrandir~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:37, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
