Some people are itching to place essay-type material on Wikipedia.

But please, follow the Wikipedia commentary area rule: Name your essay either as a subpage of the commentary page, /Like this, or as a subpage of your personal home page, Larry Sanger/Like this. Expect essays named according to any other convention to be renamed appropriately. We simply must not run the risk of people mistaking commentary for encyclopedia content.
