September 2006 (updated December 2006) I know what I am now, at least in the world of WP: a WikiGnome. Amusingly, I realized shortly after I read about Gnomey. While I'm at it, my new biases:
- I am a medical student.
July 2006 It's about time to update again since I "celebrated" my WP birthday in the past month and have since graduated from college. Everything else still applies. :) Wrote up the "milestones" section.
Jan 2006 It's been long enough that I should put up a new bio... but I currently do not have the time for writing it. What I will say is:
- I do a lot of copy-editing/cleanup
- I try to NPOV where I encounter it
- I follow article links until I get to random subjects, which is why my edits tend to be esoteric
- I believe in Wikipedia and that it can become as good of a source, if not better, than Encyclopedia Britannica (and a good sign of the progress is the Nature comparison between the the two encyclopedias)
In the increasing trend of identifying my biases:
- I am studying engineering at MIT
- I lean left on social issues
- I believe in a sleeker Wikipedia, with fewer little orphan articles and more encyclopedic entries. I am still shocked that Gwen Stefani's song was a front-page, featured article.
July 2005 New user... been using Wikipedia for a few months now, had an unholy urge to spend my life reading up on everything in Wikipedia, created an article, so I figured I should register. Some of my early edits, which were anonymous, and maybe even more recent ones which are under my name, may not be following all the etiquette rules of editing since I read the tutorial late at night one day. I'm learning as I go, please tell me if I'm doing things wrong.
I hope to start contributing to other language projects since that will help me gain more familiarity with them. With any luck and a lot of diligence, in a few years, I will be able to put down fr-3. I also speak Cantonese, but that's not much help here on a text-based website :)
