User:Matchups

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I use Matchups as a username all over the place, including my domain www.matchups.com which is fairly out-of-date. The original source was a Scrabble newsletter I edited, which was an ironic comment on "matchups" not being in the official dictionary.

My main interest (from the Wiki point of view at least) is games, and bridge and Scrabble in particular. I've found that watching my birthday page is an interesting view into Wikipedia politics.

As of mid-March, 2007, I have about 1300 edits. Though most are small, nearly all have edit summaries.

[edit] Wikiphilosophy

I consider myself an encyclopedist, similar to what WP would classify as a Delusionist. In general, if there is information for which members of the general public would tend to go to an encyclopedia, it should be in WP. If it is information which one would expect to find in a telephone directory, almanac, yearbook, annual report, or other specialized reference, or if it is not of interest to the general public, then it should not be here.

[edit] Friends

There are (or should be) Wikipedia articles on several friends and acquaintances of mine. Not to drop names, but just so you know where my biases may lie:
