Hi Bruce, I see you're emboldened again--that's good. I don't mean to rain on your parade, but this ain't an encyclopedia article. It might be a brilliant article, for all I know, but it isn't an encyclopedia article. We've already discussed this. Hence, it needs to be renamed (e.g., "Bruce Hamilton on morals vs. ethics"), reworked (so that it is an encyclopedia article), or removed. --LMS

Fine with me. I can't rename it of course, lacking the administrator's buttons. How about "Essay on Morals vs Ethics" or something. I am not interested in having my name in the title.

You can replace the text on the page with `#REDIRECT [[Page name]]`. "Essay on Morals vs. Ethics" doesn't uniquely identify your thoughts on the subject. What if someone else wants to write an essay on morals vs. ethics? The title I suggested is a perfect description of the contents, I thought. In fact, I think it would be best if you would make [Bruce Hamilton]? and then put it in a subdirectory of that: [Bruce Hamilton/Morals or Ethics]?. Then everyone would be happy, I dare say. --LMS

How about this - I make a subcategory called "commentary," so that if someone is looking for informal writing on the subject they can dive into that, and then I put my name on my article. I cannot for the life of me imagine someone reading anything because they saw my name, thought "aha!" and followed the link. However, by clearly labeling it commentary and placing it below the actual subject in heirarchy, we create an area where people may, if they wish, create a pool of their personal views.

OK, I made a Wikipedia commentary page, which is linked from the HomePage. I also made a rule which I will try to enforce :-) : essay-type stuff should be titled either Wikipedia commentary/Like this or as a subpage of the author's page: Larry Sanger/Like this. --LMS
