Talk:Knowino
Discussion of Knowino on Foundation-l[edit]
I find User:Fred Bauder's comments to be troubling: "There can be no viable alternative to Wikipedia.". Are wikipedians afraid of competition? FreeThought (talk) 13:50, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
- Seems a rather odd remark from someone who actually runs an alternative to Wikipedia. Peter Jackson 12:15, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
- Fred is a decent fellow but he can be a bit... odd. Doctor Dark (talk) 17:05, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
- I think in the sense that Wikipedia's network effect is presently unassailable. That we think this is true does not mean that we think it is good. - David Gerard (talk) 21:48, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
- I asked him. His reply: "but more a warning to not get so puffed up". Peter Jackson 15:43, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Everything changes[edit]
They're changing the URLs again. And the site might go back to 'Tendrl'. Possibly as a plot to make sure that no-one can find and laugh at it. Prepare to move this page back and update all your links. Or don't. 193.200.150.137 (talk) 14:12, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Dead?[edit]
Recent changes list seems pretty bare. 109.169.28.9 (talk) 05:41, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
Contrasting with...[edit]
Can't help noticing that point 4 on the mistakes section appears to finish mid-sentence. It ends with the words 'contrasting with'. I would assume the author meant to write, contrasting with the initial aims of Citizendium, though I'm not going to touch it because I'm not sure. --Danfly (talk) 23:59, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
- Just read the next line. Ro Thorpe (talk) 13:33, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
- It would be more obvious with a semicolon. Just sayin' --Danfly (talk) 15:15, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
- I've replaced the commas with semicolons, which should make the structure clearer. Doctor Dark (talk) 15:29, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
- Umm... What I actually meant was something more like this...

- tolerance and protection of said cranks, leading to integration of pseudoscience and woo into the project, contrasting with;
- browbeating and micromanagement toward those with genuine academic expertise.
Or even a "..." instead
- tolerance and protection of said cranks, leading to integration of pseudoscience and woo into the project; contrasting with....
- browbeating and micromanagement toward those with genuine academic expertise.
Just something to indicate the follow-on. It's a fairly standard way of linking bullet points (at least in Powerpoint presentations). --Danfly (talk) 15:40, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
- The ellipsis is OK; the semicolon ("contrasting with;") is a grammatical atrocity. Doctor Dark (talk) 17:20, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
