I very much agree with your points, especially the first one. Perhaps as we gain more experience, we can get a better sense of the types of articles that warrant a policy of linking to some external source by default. I can imagine that being the case e.g. for core philosophy topics (e.g. 'normative ethics') and the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

This was imported from EA Concepts. It needs significant updating. I've made a note to revise it, though feel free to make any changes you think are appropriate.

Not sure how that happened. The archived version of the associated EA Concepts article doesn't have the '(see below)'. In any case, I removed it.

The distinction is commonly used in academic philosophy, from which LW probably took it. On reflection, it may be worth having separate articles on instrumental and epistemic rationality, though I guess the two notions can also be discussed in the same article.

I would suggest renaming the article 'Movement growth' (omitting 'debate').

I agree this should be separated. I've made a note to split the articles (and rearrange the content/tags accordingly).

The principle I've been following is to treat LW like I do all other sources, and cite their articles iff they seem worthy of inclusion. (I do think it's always worth checking out the LW tags, because they are more likely to pass that test than most other sources.)

I'd be opposed to such a norm. Very often, Wikipedia is not the best reference on a given topic, and their articles are already extremely easy to find. I would decide whether to cite them on a case by case basis, with a relatively high bar for citing them.

(A rule of this sort may be more plausible with reference works of exceptional quality, such as the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, but even then it doesn't feel to me like we should have such a rule. I guess the underlying intuition is that I don't see a reason to deviate from the general principle that decisions on whether to include a particular work in the bibliography should be based on an assessment of that specific work's quality and relevance, rather than on some general rule.)

I merged this article with factory farming, which had been imported from EA Concepts.
