From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
:HELLO friends. Warm welcome. Please use my talk page to inform me about any posts that you may want me to see, just keep the issues where they belong. I try to be as clear and concise as possible on all issues, and am trying to familiarize myself with WP:CIVIL and other Wiki policies and guidelines. I also want to keep focus only on building a good encyclopedia.

The thing I have learned on Wikipedia is that your peace of mind is more important than....whatever. Take it easy..... and you can enjoy.

The electricity supply in my area is rather erratic. Please excuse if I unexpectedly disappear from some activities in which I am involved.

I can NOT emphasize this enough. There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative 'I heard it somewhere' pseudo information is to be tagged with a 'needs a cite' tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. This is true of all information, but it is particularly true of negative information about living persons.

In Thought du Jour Harold Geneen has stated:[4]

The reliability of the person giving you the facts is as important as the facts themselves. Keep in mind that facts are seldom facts, but what people think are facts, heavily tinged with assumptions.

Saint Patrick's Cathedral, Karachi
Saint Patrick's Cathedral is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Karachi, and is located near the Empress Market in Saddar, a neighbourhood of Karachi, Pakistan. The cathedral was completed in 1881 and can accommodate 1,500 worshippers. It celebrated its centenary in 1978. In December 1998, the interior of the cathedral was partially damaged in a bomb attack that also injured one woman. This photograph of the interior of Saint Patrick's Cathedral, looking towards the high altar, was taken in 2020.Photograph credit: Alexander Savin

An article that makes no new low-level claims, but nonethless synthesizes work in a non-standard way, is effectively original research that I think we ought not to publish. This comes up most often in history, where there is a tendency by some Wikipedians to produce novel narratives and historical interpretations with citation to primary sources to back up their interpretation of events. Even if their citations are accurate, Wikipedia's poorly equipped to judge whether their particular synthesis of the available information is a reasonable one. [Jimbo Wales writes] I agree completely. I think in part this is just a symptom of an unfortunate tendency of disrespect for history as a professional discipline. Some who completely understand why Wikipedia ought not create novel theories of physics by citing the results of experiments and so on and synthesizing them into something new, may fail to see how the same thing applies to history. --Jimbo
