doing something is a highly subjective endeavor, and a promotional one to

Well I just shared my views with a person that he should probably publish
his material elsewhere. He started to generate articles on his lifelong work
about connections between mathematical vectors, sub-quark material, changed
relativity theory of einstein and redical philosophy. Naturally nobody ever
heard of that, and he haven't published it yet, but... look at the
unimaginable possibility.
Not that I agree or disagree with people coming up with wild ideas, but I am
strongly against using wikipedia as a free publishing and discussion body
for original works. (This probably would include languages nobody speak [or
heard of] but their author and her 18 friends.)
