From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am ecstatic about the entire Wikimedia project, though I'm still too new to be unemotional about my contributions, or to formulate some of the edits I would like to, I hope to have the time to delve deep into the insane world of knowledge and interest it provides. I'd like to think that I have high standards for completeness and readability, but I've found that I will just have to wait and see. My favorite areas are the books section, Wiktionary, and the general Encyclopedia.

My vision here is terse Wiki entries transwikied to relevant projects so that complex categorical articles shrink significantly, and so that the Encyclopedic content serves mostly as an efficient glossary-like index with a visible passthrough, while still maintaining enough internal fortitude to be encyclopedic and contain relevant external references. This would make the WMP more like The Legoes of Linux. It could also improve vandalism resistance by binding good interlinked articles and their cited association range to another article, and locking those associations independently of the rest of the encyclopedia article. It would also allow for periodic deviance from Encyclopedic brevity in an appropriate location.


While I don't expect this to become an outright reality, I'm interested enough for it to be here. What I like more than anything is that if this were a well-specified and executed idea, then the WMP would be an immersive point and click adventure through the Grand Scheme of Human Knowledge. Though necessary, its unfortunate that chaos and imposed influence over its expression interfere so significantly. In my newness to the project, I still wonder if those specifications already exist.
