-:Great, thanks. [[David_Pearce|David]] recommended the site. I like your open, inclusionist culture—you aren't gripped by the absurd deletionism of some Wikipedians, a sharp contrast to the pervasive infighting that comes up there sometimes.

-:I've left a few scattered questions laying around ([[Talk:Main_Page|Talk:Manual_of_Style]] and [[Talk:Main_Page|Talk:Effective_Altruists]]), and this uploaded file ([[:File:Planetary_3.jpg]]) can be deleted as a duplicate of [[:File:Planetary.jpg]]. I couldn't get the [[Widget:Twitter_Follow_Button|Widget:Twitter_Follow_Button]] to work, and I was wondering about templates, but these are just minor questions along the way. Thanks again for your many contributions. I'll let you know if I need any help!

-:<blockquote>'''“''' Wikipedia began to look more like ''Mad Max'' than anything else. Since no one was in charge, roving gangs formed to impose their edits and bully anyone who got in their way. The rules became so arcane that they could only be used—selectively—to win an "edit war": the winner would always be who knew the minutia of wiki rules and where the hidden dust bins were, not who had made the right edit. The NPOV tag was horribly abused by self-aggrandizing (male) wiki-weenies who scored ego points by imposing their own point of view as transcendentally neutral ... '''”'''</blockquote>
-:: Glad to have another experienced Wikipedian and (presumably) transhumanist on board! Whether [[Wikipedia]] is dominated by deletionists is an interesting debate in itself. One thing I did note early in the project is that senior Wikipedian [http://wikipediawehaveaproblem.com/2017/06/david-gerard-versus-cryptocurrency-a-peak-into-an-emerging-wiki-war/ David Gerard] wields considerable influence on Wikipedia and [[RationalWiki]] playing down transhumanism, following a long spell growing to hate the Rationalist community's advocacy on [[Less Wrong]]. Still, he [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RulesLawyer plays by the rules] and there is a seemingly unending supply of enthusiastic futurists (many [[Zoltan Istvan]] supporters) who will try and play-up the notability of transhumanism to transhumanism's potential, rather than to agreed standards of notability. To this end, there had to be a separate transhumanist wiki. I'm currently engaging with a major piece of consultation with [[Natasha Vita-More]] which has moved to the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/hpluspedia mailing list] so I suggest you join if you're interested in high level site strategy.
-:: On more day-to-day areas, well the [[Community Portal]] is meant to be an overview of tasks, I hope it's up to date. As volunteer to the site, what is most important to me is your quantity of additions, improvements and refinements, or your ability to attract further contributors. I want to build H+Pedia so that it's more often [[About_H%2BPedia#In_the_news|in the news]], that contributors use this is as a platform for their own research and involvement in the transhumanist community, and that it becomes more broadly known as 'the' wiki for transhumanism, in the way RationalWiki is for the skeptics, Wookipedia is for Star Wars, TV Tropes is for media and specific sites on Wikia are for various TV fandoms. I want transhumanists to check out H+Pedia first before buying into everything that comes out of [[futurism.com]] or singularityhub and more often be techno-realists rather than [[techno-utopian]]s. I want transhumanism to [https://riviste.unimi.it/index.php/roars/article/view/9139 shape the conversation] about technology in the public as well as private sphere. I want a lot.

-:Simply initializing the Talk page so the average visitor is presented with fewer red links, which are distracting. Let me know if you prefer something else. Cheers, – [[User:Babelfish|Babelfish]] ([[User talk:Babelfish|talk]]) 01:28, 25 March 2018 (CDT)
