[edit] Personal

Personally, I like Wikipedia more as a great organizational source than really as an informational source. You can find most of this information anywhere, but there's few places where all this stuff is connected. (See Six degrees of separation, Wikipedia style).

[edit] Parody

Similar to how Nirvana felt that they had "made it" after Weird Al recorded "Smells Like Nirvana" (parodying "Smells Like Teen Spirit"), I believe the Wikipedia has made it when The Onion satirizes it. Interestingly enough, The Onion's satire involves "Weird Al" too.

[edit] Wiki work

You can see all my contributions here. Mostly I find articles where there is violent edit warring and other nonsense and try to calm things done, at least for a little while. As such, it's rare to get much reward; people don't notice the articles that go from POV nightmares to NPOV stubs or start articles, and POV warriors don't tend to be fans of moderators.

My first edit here on October 28, 2004:

I also created the same username on the Simple English Wikipedia.

[edit] Started

I've started the following pages, at the very least:

Law School Admissions Council (my first true contribution), Bagdad (movie), Shock (movie), Vincenzo Viviani, the Antonio da Sangallo disambiguation page, Governors of Mississippi Winthorp Sargent and John J. Pettus, Contaminated haemophilia blood products (needs a better name!), Theophilus Thompson, William H. Reynolds, and Charles Thomas Bolton.
