more cogent. But here they depart from the principles on which they justify their study of hypothetics; for they base the importance which they assign to hypothetics upon the fact of their being a preparation for the extraordinary, while their study of Unreason rests upon its developing those faculties which are required for the daily conduct of affairs. Hence their professorships of Inconsistency and Evasion, in both of which studies the youths are examined before being allowed to proceed to their degree in hypothetics.

This beginning of a revamp to my userpage is an assemblage of the barnstars I've been conferred, a couple of wikibeers, a wikithanks-sunflower, and some nice compliments-in-lieu-of-barnstar. I haven't found all the "get the hell lost" posts but am thinking of assembling some of the choicer ones. This section isn't bragging, it's a way of thanking the people who gave me the barnstars....I tried getting drunk on the wikibeers but they turned out to be non-alcoholic....<a class="mw-selflink selflink">Skookum1</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Skookum1" title="User talk:Skookum1">talk</a>) 00:52, 31 May 2009 (UTC) </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id=""Some_people_do_like_me"_awards_and_sundry"><span id=".22Some_people_do_like_me.22_awards_and_sundry"></span>"Some people do like me" awards and sundry</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Skookum1&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: "Some people do like me" awards and sundry"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Original_Barnstar">The Original Barnstar</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Skookum1&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: The Original Barnstar"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table style="border: 1px solid gray;

Furthermore, these stubs vary from a little to largely inaccurate. At a minimum, all links to them should be removed for the wellbeing of any readers. Rewriting them is pointless, since it would merely duplicate the more comprehensive information included in many articles for the respective places. I am puzzled why your advice has not been taken up to merge the stubs into the place name articles. Surely there must be a general consensus to flag all these stubs for deletion. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Wikipedia_articles_I've_either_started_or_seriously_augmented"><span id="Wikipedia_articles_I.27ve_either_started_or_seriously_augmented"></span>Wikipedia articles I've either started or seriously augmented</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Skookum1&action=edit&section=30" title="Edit section: Wikipedia articles I've either started or seriously augmented"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>or am intending to, if redlinked :) </p><p>Lots as yet unlisted as I don't come back here after creating things and/or editing/adding to them... </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Lillooet,_British_Columbia_and_associated_articles"><span id="Lillooet.2C_British_Columbia_and_associated_articles"></span><a href="/wiki/Lillooet,_British_Columbia" class="mw-redirect" title="Lillooet, British Columbia">Lillooet, British Columbia</a> and associated articles</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Skookum1&action=edit&section=31" title="Edit section: Lillooet, British Columbia and associated articles"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Shalalth_Planeview.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Shalalth_Planeview.jpg/450px-Shalalth_Planeview.jpg" decoding="async" width="450" height="321" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Shalalth_Planeview.jpg/675px-Shalalth_Planeview.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/89/Shalalth_Planeview.jpg 2x" data-file-width="700" data-file-height="500" /></a><figcaption>View of Seton Lake from the Mission Mountain Road above Shalalth, near <a href="/wiki/Lillooet,_British_Columbia" class="mw-redirect" title="Lillooet, British Columbia">Lillooet, BC</a>.
