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.

Mos Def
The Ecstatic is the fourth album by American rapper Mos Def (pictured), released by Downtown Records on June 9, 2009. Singer Georgia Anne Muldrow and rappers Slick Rick and Talib Kweli were guest vocalists. The album has been described by music journalists as a conscious and alternative hip hop record. Mos Def's raps about global politics, love, spirituality, and social conditions are informed by Black internationalism and pan-Islamic ideas. The album's loosely structured, lightly reverbed songs use unconventional time signatures and samples taken from Afrobeat, soul, Eurodance, jazz, reggae, Latin, and Middle Eastern music. The Ecstatic charted at number nine on the Billboard 200 in its first week of release and eventually sold 168,000 copies. A widespread critical success, The Ecstatic was viewed as a return to form for Mos Def and one of the year's best albums. He performed concerts to support the record in North America, Japan, Australia, and the United Kingdom. (Full article...)
