@Joeteevee: I found that the draft was actually a copypaste of on-writering.blogspot.com/2022/03/towards-evolutionary-philosophy-page-on.html, but now that I think of it ... are you the blogpost's author? The names match (you're "Joeteevee", whereas the author originally signed off as "JTV"), and also the blogpost begins with a preamble about writing a not-ready-to-show draft of a potential Wikipedia entry for the topic, which makes it actually being copied here to English Wikipedia more plausible.

Hi Duckmather
Many thanks for this.

"I found that the draft was actually a copypaste of on-writering.blogspot.com/2022/03/towards-evolutionary-philosophy-page-on.html, but now that I think of it ... are you the blogpost's author?"
JTV says: Yes; that would explain, why that blog post of mine [on-writering.blogspot.com/2022/03/towards-evolutionary-philosophy-page-on.html] begins with, indeed, as you say: "a preamble about writing a not-ready-to-show draft of a potential Wikipedia entry for the topic". (Well spotted. You are correct!)

Duckmather (talk) 02:43, 21 January 2024 (UTC)"
JTV says: Yes indeed. So, now it should be clearer, why they match.
(That blog post was indeed about a future entry on this topic; this submitted Wikipedia entry is, that article.)
As an aside Duckmather, may I say - good (i.e., commendable) work, on spotting any potential plagiarism (but, in this case, it's not plagiarism; I am indeed the author of both articles; and, am not plagiarizing myself.)
Also, in case it perhaps helps with the approval / publishing process, for me (the author/submitter) to give you more context (as to why I am submitting the article):
- I have a PhD in Evolutionary Culturology (since 2016), so I myself am a meta-meta-scientist (an Evolutionary Culturologist); I am not a philosopher. So, since Science and Philosophy are different domains, there is no `conflict of interest' for me, as there might perhaps otherwise be, if I was a professional philosopher; which, I can confirm, I am not).
- One key reason for submitting the article is: when I was doing my PhD (2012-2016) I, for one, (and many others in the same position) would have benefited greatly (i.e., it would have saved me a lot of time) if there was already a Wikipedia article on "Evolutionary Philosophy" (like the one I have submitted, including a survey of the domain and field). If and when published on Wikipedia, the article should also save a lot of other Evolutionary Philosophers a lot of time, so I would expect, it would be of great benefit to many people, and to knowledge in general.
- As an another aside (which may or may not be relevant; not sure?), I have also published formal encyclopedia articles previously, in peer-reviewed scientific Encyclopedias (2017 & 2020).
[Those 2 encyclopedia articles (2017 & 2020) were not on this specific topic, i.e. `Evolutionary Philosophy'. Those encyclopedia entries were on: the meta-meta-science of Evolutionary Culturology.]
At any rate, thank you again for this note, Duckmather, and, I do hope (?) it should be clear now, why the Wikipedia article I've submitted here is rather similar to the one on my weblog (about: planning to submit this article, to Wikipedia.)
So - thank you again, and, I wonder, are we perhaps able to approve the article for publication?
(I'm sure others can and will improve/expand the article as time goes on, but for now, I believe it is a serious "gap in the literature" within Wikipedia, that there is not currently an entry on "Evolutionary Philosophy", when it (Evolutionary Philosophy) has been firmly established as a domain in culture (and as a field, in literature and academia) since Dennett's "Darwin's Dangerous Idea" (1995).)
