Back in the summer of 2006 I initiated a Wikipedia Project
to examine the differences between assertion-warranting in
mathematics and the forms of warrant that we see elsewhere.
The project was quickly deleted with all the "transparency"
that I have come to expect from Wikipedia, so I've lost the
details of how it began, but I guess it must have taken off
from a Platonic standpoint since its working title was cast
a bit humorously as "0NUTS" for "Nothing New Under The Sun".
