This was originally part of my main userpage, and reflected my activities back when I was more engaged with Wikipedia editing. I've since retired from this sort of activity (too much stress and too big a time-sink).
Pseudoscience Windmill-Tilting edit
One of my hobbies has been to stem the proliferation of strongly-biased pseudoscience pages on Wikipedia. Attempting to delete the pages tends to fail for pseudoscience that's well-enough publicized to be Notable. Whether deletion succeeds or fails, adherents of the pseudoscience in question tend to find ways to return it to Wikipedia. Instead, I try to produce Neutral Point of View articles that accurately summarize the pseudoscience's core tenets (satisfying its supporters), while making clear its departures from mainstream science (satisfying its detractors).
Articles that I've successfully revised edit
- Anti-gravity, May 2005 (diff covering the rewrite) (this article has since changed beyond all recognition)
Articles that I'm presently attempting to revise edit
- None, at present.
Articles that I've failed to revise edit
- Harmonics Theory (sane revision archived at User:Christopher Thomas/Harmonics Theory) (deleted article later replaced with a useful redirect)
- Autodynamics (sane revision archived at User:Christopher Thomas/Autodynamics)
Articles that have been deleted edit
Note: Do not recreate these articles; they were deleted with due process and undeletion is a violation of Wikipedia policy.
- Harmonics Theory (original author couldn't accept any rewrite; article deleted as non-notable) (replaced with a useful redirect)
- Chaotic gravitational waves (deleted as original research)
