Talk:Knowledge management

Hajo wrote in his explanation for moving this article: "To set up this article these two concepts need to be dealt with together. In a later stage these might be split, if necessary. I have to disagree. Although I believe it is a logical combination.)" There should not be a "pre-emptive combination" of topics in this way, I think. Philosophers (and others) deal with the concept of knowledge without discussing KM at all, and have done so for thousands of years. Moreover, one can introduce what KM experts say about knowledge in the context of an article titled knowledge management (or perhaps knowledge (knowledge management). An introduction to KM should live on knowledge management. I think any general discussion of knowledge should go on knowledge, and should be focused on what actual specialists about the topic of knowledge--the philosophers called epistemologists--have to say about it. Of course, the topic of knowledge is broad enough that knowledge should also introduce what KM, LIS, lit crit, and other fields have to say about it.

Moreover, I think it's a bad idea to plan out an article in detail this way on the article page itself, though you might do so on the talk page. This discourages others, who might have a different idea of how the article will proceed, from contributing to the article. We haven't made this into a rule, but I've frequently said this before, and I'm inclined to suggest that we do make it a rule.

We definitely need a good article about KM--I'd love to see that, Hajo. --Larry Sanger 08:42, 2 March 2008 (CST)
