My Wikipedia contributions are largely rewrites and copyedits to technical, scientific, philosophic, and sociological and psychological articles. (See my /porfolio for highlights.) These are challenging exercises.

"Discussion" or "talk" pages are easily more challenging because social, encyclopedia-building efforts attempt to determine objective knowledge. Just what is objective knowledge can be hotly debated for many reasons. Collaboration is the merging and purging of a subjective reality into and from a consensus reality^[1] often by sincerely accepting the outcome of a negotiation as a reformed or evolved subjective reality. Debating against a team can lead to a better all around understanding: of one's own nature, of the breadth of knowledge, and of human nature in general. So Wikipedia talk pages are the webbed bastion of an evolutionary side-effect of evolving an encyclopedia.

I choose to home this user page of mine as my Wikipedia project workbook, a notebook of lists and essays.
