New start

Dear all,

I just rewrote the Global Brain article that was recently deleted. This is just a new start, and here is a provisional to do list:

  • Check the wiki syntax. I'm still not very familiar with it.
  • Correct the english; I'm not an english native speaker.
  • I suggested that the main article for the "Organiscism aspect" was superorganism. However I did not edit or tried to make a conceptually coherent synthesis of the two articles.
  • Maybe it would be nice to add a "Global brain in science fiction" section, with books like Neuromancer, etc...

I have added the stuff on global brain application in management back to this article. It was edited out - I am not sure what is the rationale for editing it out. The concept has had much wider application and innovation management is one important domain where it has had relevance and I think it justifies the placement there. It would be appreciated if whoever is trying to edit this out debates this issue ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.76.149.133 (talk) 11:18, 23 November 2008 (UTC)


Another "The Global Brain" book exists.

Sorry, I do no see how to create a disambiguation. Howard Bloom has a popular book of the same title.

Requesting someone create a disambiguation search intercept with pointer to Bloom's entry.
Thanks, Tickerhead (I think).

Notability?

I removed the "notability" tag (for the second time) because a little bit of reading in the article makes it clear that this is not a neologism but a term that has been used by quite a number of authors over quite a number of years. To emphasize this even more I have updated the reference to the "Conceptions of Global Brain: an historical review" (which exists in different versions), and which is clearly an example of "secondary literature" exposing the importance of the term over the years. I have also added a "Recent Development" section to further illustrate the notability of the idea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.184.131.111 (talk) 14:18, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest?

Generally I am skeptical of Misplaced Pages's blanket policy of rejecting submissions by people within the subject on the grounds that they are likely to be biased (as they are also likely to be the most knowledgeable); for the sake of clarity could the 'suspected' editor please make themselves known?
