I joined Wikipedia on October 23, 2005, after reading (over a period of several months) probably hundreds of articles and then eventually editing a bunch without creating an account. Someone suggested I create an account, so I did.
Biases
News Flash: I have some.
However, if you find bias in anything I have written, then I have failed in that particular piece of writing. If you to me politely, I will respond politely, and we can work together to improve the article.
I am not going to list all (or any) of my possible areas of bias here. Everybody is biased on some subject to one extent or another, and it's usually on subjects that interest them -- and many, many things interest me. Speaking for myself, the topics that interest me the most are the topics where you will find me doing something more than just correcting the occasional spelling or formatting error, but I think that probably goes for most people.
Things I'm Learning
Although I was using Wikipedia as a reference source for months, and tweaked a couple of articles here and there (usually nothing more than correcting a spelling mistake) before a flurry of activity prompted someone to suggest I actually join, now that I have joined and have to take some measure of responsibility for what I do, I am more likely to stop and ask myself, "Is what I am about to do the best course of action?" Sometimes it is, and sometimes, believe it or not, I learn something. Here are some things I am learning:
- Although it appears to be the norm in many articles, it is not good practice to link every single occurrence of a year (e.g., 1967) in an article to that year's page. While this obviously makes sense generally anyway, I often see articles that link to the page for a particular year even when there is no information on the year's page relevant to the article that links to it. See the Wikipedia guidelines "Make only links relevant to the context", "Manual of Style (links): Internal links" and "Manual of Style (dates and numbers): Date formatting" for more information.
- Using footnotes and citing sources isn't as simple as you might think!
- Some editors have an agenda.
- More to be added later, I'm sure.
Cool Stuff on this Page
Anything on this page that looks remotely cool I have brazenly stolen from other cool user pages on Wikipedia:
- The design (including the calendar) on the column on the right is from Hall Monitor.
- The date and time on the right are from Serhiodudnic.
- And I occasionally use templates I find to inflate the stuff in my Babel box.
Thanks everyone!
