User:Calliopejen1

greetings! Hi, I'm Jen. A bit about me: I'm from Alaska, but now I live in Boston. I just finished law school at Harvard, and now I'm busy as an associate at a Boston law firm. I spend my time on wikipedia because I love to share what I learn and what I know. I don't get wikistressed because I'm a wikisloth. In real life, I enjoy the outdoors (camping, hiking, fishing), all kinds of dancing (swing and salsa especially, but I can at least fake most anything), fashion blogs, traveling, and Arrested Development. I also edit as User:Calliopejen2 for repetitive tasks if I don't want to clog up my contributions.		en This user is a native speaker of English. es-3 Este usuario puede contribuir con un nivel avanzado de español. fr-1 Cet utilisateur peut contribuer avec un niveau élémentaire de français.

	(mostly contrary) opinions Wikipedians' paranoia about censorship prevents us from making reasonable editorial judgments. (Also, it makes us look like insensitive 17-year-old men, which statistically speaking many of us are.) We need to do way better outreach to new editors, including better ways to get involved in the sidebar and on the main page. Wikipedians are change-averse and elitist when it comes to outreach (apparently, a way to facebook-like a Wikipedia article would basically be the end of the world). Crappy articles are fine as starts. It is better to have something rather than nothing, especially for the reader. A Wikipedia with a truly global scope will be many times larger than our present encyclopedia. We are damn fools for not aligning the ITN/OTD pictures with the items they relate to.
