Misleading? This is a well known quotation from the philologist and philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Look it up. We knowers of today, we godless anti-metaphysicians (talk) 10:29, 13 March 2016 (UTC)


 * It's a bit long, but I can't see any problem with this name: it's just difficult to know what to call you for short. Welcome to Wikipedia, er, Knower! -- The Anome (talk) 10:36, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! It was a very impulsive choice. This is the full quote which popped to my mind: 'You will have gathered what I am getting at, namely, that it is still a metaphysical faith upon which our faith in science rests—that even we knowers of today, we godless anti-metaphysicians, still take our fire, too, from the flame lit by the thousand-year-old faith, the Christian faith which was also Plato's faith, that God is truth; that truth is divine.'

In any event I have added a small bit to 'Replication crisis' but if anyone else has sources on this  I am hunting some down now because  this is a major event that doesn't seem to be covered on Wikipedia yet and is of scientific importance and notability to deserve such coverage. I will try to find some appropriate references as soon as possible to over this controvers and the recently revealed difficulties. no axe to grind and this is not my own discipline but this is certainly notable and interesting and being given wide discussion on psychology blogs and journals and elsewhere.(if you really prefer me to chan\ge my name I don't really care.)

 * I felt the user name has the potential to be misleading because in edit summaries it could imply that other users share a philosophy of "We knowers of today, we godless anti-metaphysicians", as in "we" all feel this way (other Wikipedians). Perhaps I read into it too much. I wasn't aware that this is a quote. North America1000 10:50, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

ll maybe it can be changed if it turns out to be problematic. It was just an off the cuff choice. Anyway, I don't tell have time to write something yet, but I think it might be interesting To do so and someone should be added significantly to replication crisis from these references and recent events: http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/03/03/psychology_study_that_induced_the_reproducibility_crisis_was_wrong.html http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/04/science/psychology-replication-reproducibility-project.html?_r=0 https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/03/160303145733.htm http://www.nature.com/news/psychology-s-reproducibility-problem-is-exaggerated-say-psychologists-1.19498 http://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2016/03/psychologys-replication-crisis-cant-be-wished-away/472272/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2016/03/03/errors-riddled-2015-study-showing-replication-crisis-in-psychology-research-scientists-say/ http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2016/03/is-psychologys-replication-crisis-really-overblown.html

There are interesting views both ways over how significant this is, but would be interesting to expand the article from this material maybe it is better to let events pla out longer before writing something, thigh?.We knowers of today, we godless anti-metaphysicians (talk) 11:01, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! Maybe I will try to source somethings and expand this article later this week based on recent coverage. We knowers of today, we godless anti-metaphysicians (talk) 11:05, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, I reverted you because your edit added information that was unsourced, which is considered original research. This goes against Wikipedia's policy of verifiability and could as well lead to its own replication crisis :). Additionally. the "detail" you added just repeats the next paragraph and the p-hacking is noted later on—not to mention "half" is a claim that needs a citation and the article explicitly notes: "Replication failures are not unique to psychology and are found in all fields of science." While the lead is supposed to summarize the body, it should do so in a representative way. Lastly I also agree that your username is quite strange and makes it seem like you have something against religion and philosophy. (I know you don't, but that's the impression it gives). Please let me know if you need any clarification for any of this. Happy editing. Opencooper (talk) 11:06, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks; I hear you. Half refers to the recent replication effort but I didn't link to the s\u\rce. there have been significant new developments recently within the last month and I will try to write something soon which is sourced. I understand your decision since I didn't link an\thing to verify

I have in mind these recent papers: http://science.sciencemag.org/content/351/6277/1037.3 |http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0149794 (popular coverage; http://www.wired.com/2016/03/psychology-crisis-whether-crisis/ https://www.sciencenews.org/article/psychologys-replication-crisis-sparks-new-debate) but mane it's better\ t wait a few months to add aying to an encyclopedia because who knows right now but it's definite notable. this is not my field so I don't have a dog in this but it's caught my interest   We knowers of today, we godless anti-metaphysicians (talk) 11:23, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Hmm, those do seem to be good sources to integrate. And yeah waiting for the dust to settle is another option to consider, though I don't know how fast the matter is progressing. Take your time and familiarize yourself with our policies, and don't hesitate to ask for any help. Opencooper (talk) 11:37, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

April 2016
Please do not add defamatory content to Wikipedia, as you did to Talk:Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016, especially if it involves living persons. Also, don't restore material from sock puppets that has been removed by other editors. - MrX 03:22, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add defamatory content, as you did at Talk:Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016. - MrX 03:45, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

What defamatory content? Those comparisons have sources. Can you be more explicit? I don't see anything defamatory about the claim that Trump has been often likened to Hitler. Can we not report on something that has been in major media outlets?
