Information changes constantly, new information becomes available constantly, and new material gets added to old articles constantly. I myself just added some new detail to an article within the past week.
That's just what I am disputing. Take the article on England's greatest philosopher http://ocham.blogspot.com/2010/06/william-of-ockham.html It has actually shrunk since 2005. It contains hardly anything of William's thought, and most of it is plagiarised from other sources anyway. And there is very little new information coming out about Ockham. The Cambridge companion contains 16 pages about him. Or take the SEP, which is online http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/ockham/ and is the model of what an article should be. Wikipedia should avoid being as technical as the SEP, but there is a place for a well-written and accessible article about Ockham. Why isn't there one? SEP is also accepting donations, why shouldn't I give money to that? _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
