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.

Corleck Head

The Corleck Head is a 1st or 2nd century AD three-faced Irish stone idol discovered in Drumeague in County Cavan c. 1855. It may have been buried, perhaps about 900–1200 AD, possibly due to its paganism and association with human sacrifice. Its dating is based on its iconography, similar to that of contemporary Celtic art artefacts. It is believed to depict a Celtic god and was intended to be placed on top of a larger shrine. The head is carved from a single block of limestone into three simply described faces, each with similar features, including protruding eyes, thin and narrow mouths and enigmatic expressions. The faces may depict all-knowing, all-seeing gods representing the unity of the past, present and future. The head is assumed to have been intended for ceremonial use on the nearby Corleck Hill, a major religious centre at the time and a site for celebration of the Lughnasadh, a pre-Christian harvest festival. It is on permanent exhibit at the National Museum of Ireland. (Full article...)
