Signups open for The Core Contest

[edit]

The Core Contest—Wikipedia's most exciting contest—will take place this year from April 15 to May 31. The goal: to improve vital or other core articles, with a focus on those in the worst state of disrepair. Editing can be done individually, but in the past groups have also successfully competed. There is £300 of prize money divided among editors who provide the "best additive encyclopedic value". Signups are open now. Cheers from the judges, Femke, Casliber, Aza24.

If you wish to start or stop receiving news about The Core Contest, please add or remove yourself from the delivery list.

Carnap

[edit]

Need to find a free image of Rudolf Carnap. Where is this one from? Cake (talk) 17:52, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If here is to be believed, it is under copyright :( Shapeyness (talk) 12:53, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, at least it's only until 2026 for some of them... Psychastes (talk) 20:57, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Psychastes: how did you figure out 2026? Shapeyness (talk) 09:08, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not necessarily that specific picture (though I suspect it's one of the earlier ones), but the pictures in that archive are dated "1932,1930,1935" so some of them (and yes, I suppose we'd have to do additional research to figure out which ones...) will enter the public domain in the US in 2026, or 95 years after creation.

Well shoot. Nice try and nice find though. Cake (talk) 11:49, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@MisterCake, Psychastes: I happened to be looking in the same place again and there is this one. I believe the back of the photo is shown here dated 1922, not sure how to fully verify that though. Shapeyness (talk) 20:16, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It does appear that way. He looks a bit like Randall Rauser there. If you are at all seasoned with Austrian sources I'd love to know one other than Dummett's for Austria and Analytic philosophy. Seeing Ramsey there too is nice. Cake (talk) 02:46, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, not at all seasoned with Austrian realism sadly. Shapeyness (talk) 17:18, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Physical paradoxes

[edit]

Is Category:Physical paradoxes correctly classified as being "within the scope of WikiProject Philosophy"? The talk page of the article Physical paradox gives it as of interest to solely WikiProject Physics.  --Lambiam 06:53, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page Philosophy of geography needs some attention.

[edit]

The page Philosophy of geography is tremendously lacking. I'm a geographer and mostly work in geography related projects, but I thought it could be worthwhile to post here as well. Currently, the page only goes back to the 1930s, and is mostly focused on Western/English/American traditions. I'm digging into the literature a bit to work on this, but it's a bit daunting with how much work I think it needs. Anyone with broad background in philosophy of science would be a welcome contributor! GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 20:19, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a discussion at Talk:Evolutionary_philosophy#Original_research that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 03:28, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FAC of Ethics

[edit]

The article Ethics is currently a candidate for featured article status. I was hoping to get some more feedback from reviewers. The nomination page can be found at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Ethics/archive1. For a short FAQ of the FA reviewing process, see here. Phlsph7 (talk) 07:25, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
