Hello, my name is Duncan, I live and work in Manchester, UK[1] and contribute to English Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons and Greek Βικιπαίδεια. 🇬🇷 Why? Because it is fun and important, or as Freeman Dyson once put it:
| “ | Among my friends and acquaintances, everybody distrusts Wikipedia and everybody uses it ... The information that it contains is totally unreliable and surprisingly accurate. It is often unreliable because many of the authors are ignorant or careless. It is often accurate because the articles are edited and corrected by readers who are better informed than the authors.[2] | ” |
