[edit] TELL YOUR FRIENDS!

The single greatest source of possible improvements for Wikipedia can be found here. Every single (valid) criticism they have about grammar, POV and bias is a gold mine of improvements for Wikipedia. As an added bonus, we can make 'em look like boneheads. WLU 20:47, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ew

This is the most disgusting thing in the world.

[edit] Interests

I created most of the entries for the Races of the Malazan Book of the Fallen, and have compiled them all into a single page.

I've also been fruitfully involved in the Terry Goodkind, George R. R. Martin and Barbara Hambly bio pages, the Muscle contraction page, the Uncaria tomentosa and Harpagophytum pages, and recently I put in a lot of work on the Lupus erythematosus article. It's now sweet. The bone page is done, but now I'm thinking about tackling the Gavin Menzies mess. I've got too little time to be doing this.

Other interests include nutrition, exercise physiology, human physiology of the musculo-skeletal and cardiovascular systems as well as psychology in general and areas I'm a bit more knowledgeable in - autism, behaviourism, critical psychology, community psychology, but apparently I'm intent on working my way through all the organ systems of the human body first.

[edit] Five (six?) stages of Wikipedia

I liken my learning experience with Wikipedia to the five stages of grief as expressed by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (note: I really do hate Bob Sagat, I've been lying for months):

1) Denial - I can’t believe no-one has written about what a tool Bob Sagat is! Awesome, I’ll put that in.

2) Anger - Where did my text go? What do you mean I can’t write that Bob Sagat is a tool? What the hell does revert mean? What the hell is WP:NPOV?

3) Bargaining - Fine, I’ll read your stupid policy, but then I’m totally putting my Bob Sagat thing back.

4) Depression - Stupid policy makes sense, I guess I can’t write about how much I hate Bob Sagat. This sucks. I’m going to see what else I can edit on this stupid encyclopedia.

5) Acceptance (wisdom?) - I can’t believe some dumb newbie called Bob Sagat an idiot. Doesn’t he know about NPOV? Hold on, he’s got a reference…

[edit] Wikistalker

And to this I add:

6) Holy crap I'm being wikistalked. Hey, it's forcing me to reference and improve the articles. I guess like a coffee enema, it's a pain in the ass but it's good for you.

[edit] Apparently I can kill people

I have recently been informed that my willy-nilly editing can kill. I did not realize that at my fingertips, my carefully referenced information was capable of murder. I can only hope that the power does not corrupt me and turn me into a monster. So please, if you are reading this, take note that of all the editors of Wikipedia, I am the sole one with the power of life and death. I can only assume that my edits are so convincing people will proceed with my diagnoses and treatments rather than seeking the help of a medical professional. I shall now pause to ponder the moral implications of this tremendous ability. And here I thought I was merely a clever fellow. Makes me wish there were some sort of disclaimer at the bottom of every single wikipedia page. READ WITH CAUTION LEST YE BE DEAD

[edit] Arbitration

Arbitration is now closed and I am barred from editing Terry Goodkind, The Sword of Truth, Lupus erythematosus, Barbara Hambly, Uncaria tomentosa, A Song of Ice and Fire, probably Steven Erikson and George R. R. Martin as are other involved parties. In addition, I will not edit any pages related to The Sword of Truth irrespective of my past history as that will only invite conflict. It is not the best outcome, but I am content with it. WLU 12:37, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
