Welcome

Humanism (life stance)

Hi,

I'm The Transhumanist

Yes, I'm actually into transhumanism, but for me that is merely an extension of the life stance of humanism, which provides the basis of my personal values. To me, the most interesting pursuits of transhumanists are anti-aging, life extension, and human enhancement (via nootropics, etc.). And strapping jet-powered wings to your back. The future is coming fast – the technological singularity may be just around the corner.

I've been an editor here since October of 2005 (initially without an account), and have volunteered tens of thousands of hours.

Keep in mind that I'm fairly knowledgeable about the encyclopedia, how it and its community is structured, and how it operates...

So, if you've lost your way and can't find what you are looking for in the Misplaced Pages community, if I don't know where it is, I can usually find it pretty fast. Or, if you've hit a brick wall and can't figure something out, if I don't know the solution, I can usually find one fairly quickly, or at least help you get in touch with someone who can help. Don't be shy.

Wish list

Main article: Wish List

Be sure to check out my to-do/wish list - things I've noticed that are missing from or lacking on Misplaced Pages. It will take me years to complete all these by myself. But if you helped...  :)

Current projects

  • JavaScript and user scripts – improving the coverage of JavaScript in the encyclopedia, and the development of user scripts to assist and even automate the development and maintenance of Misplaced Pages, especially its outlines, and the lists that branch off from them.
  • Outlines and Lists – branches of outlines can be further outlines, or straight lists. Therefore, together, these are growing into a huge comprehensive multi-part outline or topic network summarizing human knowledge as a whole, as well as mapping Misplaced Pages expanding outward from a central core.
    • Outline creation – filling in the gaps in the knowledge tree.
    • Outline development – as Misplaced Pages grows, outlines need to be expanded just to keep up. As new articles and topics appear, they need to be added to the relevant outlines.
    • Outline integration – refining the shared format, and adding extensive interlinking (between outlines and between outlines and the rest of the encyclopedia).
    • Outline maintenance – updating out-of-date material, reverting vandalism, cleaning up sloppy work via copy editing, etc.
  • "See also" section clean up – for a great many articles, these sections are a mess, yet they represent vision into the rest of the encyclopedia. I've been improving that vision by streamlining the "See also" sections of major topics to bring them into clearer focus.
  • The Tip of the day department is benefiting from a driving force, in the form of JoeHebda. He's a whirlwind of an editor, and has breathed new life into this project. I support his efforts the best I can.

My viewpoints on wiki-issues...

Concerning Misplaced Pages, you could say I'm a:

The sum of all human knowledge...   Nope

It has been claimed that this is Misplaced Pages's goal.

"Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing."
– Jimmy Wales, quoted in Slashdot (2004-07-28)

But under the current policies of what Misplaced Pages is and is not, it does not strive to contain all knowledge. For linguistic information, see a dictionary. If you wish to learn how to cook, or how to do just about anything, keep in mind that Misplaced Pages shuns recipes and how to instructions. Other types of knowledge that Misplaced Pages does not do well disseminating include experience and tacit knowledge.

Misplaced Pages's scope, including the level of detail it delves down into, is also limited by its notability policy.

A more accurate slogan describing Misplaced Pages and its objective would be "A summary of the world's knowledge".

Progression towards automation

Technology is undergoing accelerating change. We're definitely seeing it here too.

Misplaced Pages is acquiring more and more computerized features over time, and more and more edits are being done by bot. Eventually, automated edits will far exceed human edits.

Subfields of artificial intelligence directly relevant to Misplaced Pages are natural language processing and machine learning. Through these, computer programs will take on the responsibility of tasks that historically could only be done by people. Such as composing and updating articles, fact checking and citing references, building the topic navigation systems, and so on. Eventually, computers will be able to write better articles than human authors, millions of times faster.

Thanks in advanceCstubbies (talk) 12:40, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

A valuable service

I think you need recognition for doing the job of ten other editors, and doing it out of altruism and genuine belief in Misplaced Pages. Not many editors here have the same good attitude and provide the same service as you - I don't have any specific point to put across, but I thought you should just be prodded and reminded that you do a lot of good around here, in the hope you'll keep it up. Kudos! Seegoon (talk) 17:43, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Many years ago, back before I had created my current account, I created a humble little userspace navigation menu based off of two of your menus from the User Page Design Center (initially 15, but ultimately 6). Over the years it has grown, but I don't know if I ever would have started it without seeing your menus first. I just want to thank you for putting the effort into creating those menus and then sharing them at the Design Center where they have been helpful for people like me.

Love the outlines

Hi there! I just wanted to let you know that I think your planet outlines are really cool. I have long thought it was a shame that only Wikipedians seem to know about Books or Portals, because they are really great tools for structuring knowledge (while everyone loves diving down the Misplaced Pages rabbit hole, we could really do with some better content organization). The outlines strike me as a great way to bring that sort content organization to mainspace, where it will actually reach a large number of readers. I notice that I am the first one to edit them besides yourself, and I hope you know that I do so with love.

What a Brilliant Idea Barnstar
Great idea with the outline articles - a great solution to a need for better mainspace-based content structuring! I see from WP:Outlines that you actually came up with this concept some years ago, but this is the first I've noticed it. A2soup (talk) 02:46, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

A Barnstar for you!

The Portal Barnstar
The Portal Barnstar is awarded to Wikipedians who have made significant contributions to topic portals.
Awarded to Transhumanist for his overly enthusiastic efforts regarding the portal system and WikiProject Portals. – Lionel 11:02, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
Transhumanist, thank you for your extraordinary efforts on behalf of portals. It reminds me of the time when a series of attacks on scientific bibliographies led to the formation of WikiProject Bibliographies. I don't understand why your detractors are so passionate about deleting portals, but your actions have been a model for how to deal with an attack constructively. RockMagnetist(talk) 16:10, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

A Barnstar for you!

The Article Rescue Barnstar
May all who see this barnstar know that The Transhumanist made a valiant and commendable effort for defending the portal namespace from deletion. It preserved countless hours of work initially invested into creating the content. Moreoever, The Transhumanist, is doing a yeoman's job in attempting to improve the content within with portal namespace. RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 00:24, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

@RightCowLeftCoast: Thank you. I feel honored. Please keep in mind that I have not been working alone. Credit goes to the nearly 400 editors who came forward to speak up for the keeping of portals. And although the RfC to delete all portals is over, the job of defending portals from deletion is not. For the portal namespace to be retained in the long term, the portals in it will need to be improved to a worthy quality level, otherwise we may see more deletion attempts. This task is far more than a single editor can handle. Fortunately, many editors have come forward to meet the challenge. Working to develop portals and the entire portal system, is a team of 80 editors who are diligently redesigning, upgrading, updating, and maintaining portals. They are the members of the Portals WikiProject, and without them there might be no portals. They are doing a wonderful job, and I am very proud of them. Thank you.    — The Transhumanist   17:22, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your thoughts and efforts regarding portals, for the concept of outlines, for sectional redirects, for articles such as Life Extension Foundation, for service from 2006, including portal philosophy and user page design center, - repeating (1 & 4 June 2009): you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Thank you. I looked, but couldn't figure out what 1 & 4 June 2009 were referring to. Just curious.    — The Transhumanist   19:26, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Not sure if a simple barnstar can express the communities gratitude to the portal work that you're doing. Your an indispensable member of our community. Moxy (talk) 18:08, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Moxy, thank you. I'm honored, and I receive this praise for the team, without whom there would be very little progress on portals. They are literally transforming them into something new. I'm glad to be a part of that.    — The Transhumanist   18:20, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

I appreciate you reviving the User page design center! I used this when I was new. Also, everyone has a phases where they religiously obsess over their user page (especially userboxes), and this tool is a good way to show them how to have fun with it. Panini!🥪 23:59, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
