I firmly support the intent of Wikipedia to bring people together on topics and work toward common goals in an open and transparent manner.

Controversy

[edit]

I proudly support the work of Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia, where all edits are open and transparent and secondary references are more important than your belief system on any one subject. Editors with similar interest should work together on articles. I do not edit controversial pages. Although I will be happy to help you with any article in my core subject areas - I am unlikely to join in "your cause" on a given controversy. In my opinion this is not the role of a good editor nor the purpose behind Wikipedia. Collaboration on subjects of interest for the improvement of those articles is my choice instead.

Mark Satin

Mark Satin (born November 16, 1946) is an American political theorist and writer. He contributed to the development of neopacifism in the 1960s, New Age politics in the 1970s and 1980s, and radical centrism from the 1990s into the 2020s. After emigrating to Canada to avoid serving in the Vietnam War, he wrote the Manual for Draft-Age Immigrants to Canada, which sold nearly 100,000 copies. Then came New Age Politics (1978), which identifies an emergent third force pursuing such goals as simple living, decentralism, and global responsibility. Satin spread his ideas by co-founding the New World Alliance and publishing the newsletter New Options. He also co-drafted "Ten Key Values", the foundational statement of the Green Party of the United States. Following a period of political disillusion, Satin wrote Radical Middle (2004), which criticizes political partisanship and promotes mutual learning and innovative policy syntheses. In 2023, Satin wrote Up From Socialism: My 60-Year Search for a Healing New Radical Politics. (Full article...)
