Hello.

I created a wikipedia article template:

Raymond Peat (Biologist)

If you know how and you know what, please contribute!

Cheers.

Good idea, but i'm afraid the Wiki moderators will never let anyone write a fair article on ANY ALTERNATIVE therapies, let alone a maverick like Peat.

It's almost 100% guaranteed they will spin it in a very negative way.

 

[andrei.pozolotin]

sounds like you have symptoms of "learned helplessness"

we will never know unless we try

hello, this is a request:

wikipedia asks for image permission:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk ... _Pozolotin
File permission problem with File:Raymond Peat (Biologist) - 2010-10-09 Face Profile Low Resolution.png

I made that image form this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZkGxrntmTE

does anyone know who is the owner? can he grant a permission?

or, better yet, if you are an owner of a good quality picture of ray peat:
* please upload it to wikipedia
* grant the permission
* and let me know picture url

Have you asked RP about whether he wanted a Wiki entry?

 

[andrei.pozolotin]

no I did not. I was the one who needed it how would I ask? can I have his email?

Somebody will make a Ray Peat wiki entry at some point. It would be better if it's done by well-informed people.

It would be better if it's done by well-informed people.

I have read the entry and found it informative enough.
Not perfect, but i'm sure Andrei would welcome any outside contribution.

My fear is what will be forcefully added later by you know who...

 

[andrei.pozolotin]

yes! I would really really welcome any contribution, and wiki writing is really draining my t3/t4
if local veterans do not want to touch wikipedia, please post your write-ups here.

I think Wikipedia is too oppressive to allow a good RP article, at least the way it's being approached.

 

[andrei.pozolotin]

@j: re:
1) "Wikipedia is too oppressive" - you will not know unless you try
2) "the way it's being approached" - you can change that too

 

[andrei.pozolotin]

hello. I feel that the article is 30% done, and invite another round of community review

A lot of work came into this.
