About This Wiki
On Reading Carefully
& in Small Numbers.
A wiki of what endures is not a wiki of what is true everywhere. It is a wiki of what seven careful writers have already proven — and which the editor has read closely and rephrased without dilution.
§ I · Method
The reading is selective.
The wiki reads its sources at length, selects from them carefully, and in places extends their arguments. Direct quotations appear in italics and within quotation marks. Paraphrase is acknowledged as such.
No entry on the wiki is independent of its source. The seven sources are listed on the Books page.
§ II · Apparatus
The wiki is versioned.
Each domain carries a version stamp at its foot. Principles may be revised; revisions are noted. Suggestions and corrections are read but not always answered.
The wiki does not reproduce the texts it cites. Readers who find it useful are encouraged to read the originals.
