About my Wiki-tivity

[edit]

Aspirations / Philosophy

[edit]

I want to make contributions worthy of Barnstars, but I don't want to receive them. I want my reward for service to be useful, stable, un-vandalized text.


I like to randomly select articles in order to (a) learn something new & (b) find something I can contribute to in grammar, structure or (sometimes) fact. I also enjoy going to external sources to dig up needed citations.


I subscribe to the Wikipedian philosophy of Incrementalism. I wish users would verify an article exists before Wiki-ing a word -- red links are distracting.

Where I might want to live someday:
Moon or
Mars or
space colony!


Interests: Aerospace, Space exploration, Science fiction, Monty Python and Music (particularly Classical and Heavy Metal).


Cultures I find particularly interesting: Japanese, Russian, Scottish and German. My ethnicity is partly made up of the latter two, in fact.


I tend to have a verbose writing style, but try to avoid Doublespeak.
