Does anyone else find it slightly insane that we have much more information about 2004 U.S. presidential election controversy and irregularities than we do about Sartre, Camus, Augustine, Aquinas, Kierkegaard.... if the irregularities can have 8 subpages then any of those above listed can have 20 subpages at least. O_O
Hi. - This might be the worst userpage...
Interests
My primary interest on Wikipedia is religion, especially articles about the People of the Book. I think despite wikipedia's problems articles, like 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, created with speed show some of the great advantages of this medium. I think it would be nice if the momentum given to such articles could also be given to past events like the 2001 Gujarat Earthquake.
I like
Articles I have started and want people to give me lots of information on so I can learn more or help to write them so that they don't suck because I don't want them to be one source articles or plagiarized as any of those options are very very bad
This seems to be a fun thing to do... so here goes
- I've created a lot of semi-worthless things I haven't added...
So, if any of these articles are just horrible or worthless send me hate mail.
Wanted articles
- Sidrat al-Muntaha , a tree in Islamic accounts of Heaven that I know nothing about
Things I want to see done before I die
- Fixing of Papaflessas as I mentioned on the talk page there are a variety of things that people could do to save this article. After asking the author if he plagiarized and insulting him I figured I might as well try to do something for the article.

Interesting Thoughts
- or so I think...
Vandalism on wikipedia is a linear function [f(x)] and article quality is logarithmic [ln(x)] so should there not be some threshold of article quality where the wiki format fails and more harm is regularly being done to a good article than good and therefore all change should have to seek approval. I'm sure this goes against wiki conventions, however, for a stable version I think this would greatly help. There would be a vote for each article to and then the page would be protected... any changes found to be important would be discussed on the talk page and then added by an admin. If we look at the rate of addition to good articles (that aren't current events of course) this really would not be much strain on admins. The threshold would likewise have to be a very good article. I think that's an interesting idea. :O
and
Reference I have a curiosity and this might not be the place but... Does the word "rights" carry a POV? Most people would not argue the view of humans have a general right to life (even death penalty is only in "extreme" conditions). A more would argue (at least in the US) that civil rights for all races are objectionable. Therefore they are not the "rights" of the people. The same goes for suffrage for both genders. Today we are continually the civil rights movement and many would argue that gay rights are a continuation and therefore should be accepted as such. This as we can see by the news stories is hotly debated. Is it the "right" of gays to marry or is it government overstepping its right if this is allowed? Using the term gay rights is very one sided and implies that they do have the inherent right to this is it not? When we step into the future pedophile rights or child lover rights might be the issue as a contination of the civil rights movement and sexual revolultion: allowing consenting children to participate in sex with adults. With human views seemingly gravitating to the acceptance of casual sex this does not seem so outlandish to me, however, starting a timeline and calling Lindsay Ashford the head of pedophile rights at this point in time might be frowned upon. This then follows (as I see it) that we should be able to create a timeline of white rights based on the KKK and show the progress (and then loss thereof) of "white rights" or whatever you would like to call it. My point is that the word rights heavily reflects views prevalent in our time which is a very chronocentric point of view. I am, of course, not thinking that any of these title will change, they are so far ingrained that we know these movement by such point of view terms. I am just curious to user opinions on this issue.

List of Islamic texts
This should be a page? [[Category:Islamic texts]] Qur'an, Hadith, Usl al-Fiqh, Aqidah al-Tahawiyya, Gospel of Barnabas... so many more.... a list should be created maybe in order to possibly coerce people into starting articles?
