Hey, all of y'all's, go head forth to Wikpedia's Scienceblogs.com entry, and make it as good as you can.
Please say nice things about me. PZ just announced on his blog that people should go and edit the site, and I hate to think what it will say about me if his primary readership is all that contribute....
Well, OK, you can say mean things about me if they're true. No flamewars, though! That's not appropriate on Wikipedia. More important, though, is to get accurate stuff about the whole site and the whole collection of bloggers there. There's a bunch of stuff in the "discussion" page that was written previously. (My entry in the discussion page is blank, by the way.).

I debated the fit for this post on this blog vs. my own, and decided that it belongs here for about five or six reason that you can figure out for yourself.
While I was away over the weekend, a reader made me aware of a new development in the world of "alternative"--excuse me, "complementary and alternative"--medicine (a.k.a. CAM). I suppose I should have seen this coming.
D-Day was today in 1944. My father was involved. Wikipedia is silly. Kids these days have no idea. There is, of course, a classic movie on the topic.
Antivaccinationists, quacks, and apologists for antivaccinationists and quacks (but I repeat myself) seem to have an illusion that I'm just swimming in pharma lucre, that I sit in my underwear grinding out magnum opus-worthy after magnum opus-worthy blog posts, all so that I can rake in the cash
"No flamewars, though! That's not appropriate on Wikipedia"
Rob, you become more annoyingly self centered, smug and insulting every day.
you must be working hard at being a protruding organ.
Kevin -
Pot, meet Kettle. . .Except that's not entirely appropriate, as Rob really doesn't strike me as any of those things. Quite the opposite rather. So, Pot, look in the mirror.
Kevin -- what a bizarre response to that statement.
Hey Rob, you need to take several steps back and maybe a stress pill or two. You take things far too personally.
Magnum -- that is also a very weird comment. Where did that come from? Where's the personal offense and stress in this post????
I don't think that the religion issue would be particularly divisive on Wikipedia. Perhaps a small blurb detailing some of the controversy. I'd hope that things like "PZ is the greatest human being in the universe; Rob sucks and is worse than everyone." would be scapped pretty quickly.
You guys realize that I was joking when I wrote that? Not all theists are a bunch of zealots who take themselves so seriously that they are incapable of a little joke here and there, you realize.
"Not all theists are a bunch of zealots who take themselves so seriously that they are incapable of a little joke here and there, you realize."
I most certainly do NOT realize this. What is your evidence?
