I've made over 3000 mainspace edits, and I'm tired. I've become rather addicted to Wikipedia, and now I'm going cold turkey. I'm tired of all the tiny edits: correcting vandalism, removing commercial external links, removing red links from lists of bands, things like that. I was hoping I would feel more of a community feeling at Wikipedia than I've been able to feel. I think I'm going to look for it somewhere else. I may be back now and then, if I see a good contribution I can make, but then again, perhaps I'll do it elsewhere. Cheers, Doctormatt 01:53, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Followup: In the last month or so, I've been making a few edits, just for the heck of it. I made an edit to Nardcore, removing a claim that has been tagged with a Citation Needed tag since October 2007 (!). The result is a user yelling at me for doing so: they reverted the edit, and wrote on my talk page "How dare you remove it?". Ha! What silly people!! Perhaps I'll go away again.

Further followup: Yes, I am going away again. I can't take the rudeness here. Cheers, Doctormatt (talk) 04:40, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

My interests include mathematics (especially number theory and curves), music (especially experimental and noise), cycling, and a bunch of other stuff.

Things to do

• better (e.g. bigger, anti-aliased, SVG) graphics: , Conchoid_of_de_Sluze, Quadric_surface, Watt's_curve, locus, orthogonal trajectory, Wittgenstein's_rod,Cissoid_of_Diocles
• properly scaled graphic needed at Lemniscate of Bernoulli
• expand Hessian curve
• article for Stockhausen's Mikrophonie I
• add chapter summaries to The_Conquest_of_Bread
• rewrite the article for Hitchcock's Suspicion: it reads as a comparison of the movie and the novel, with a severe bias toward the novel; most of this info should be on the novel's page
• article for the kieroid (Yates,p. 141)
• article for Swinging Erudites, Boston parody band
• figure out SVG
• flesh out atriphtaloid,Conchoid_of_Dürer,bicorn, isoptic, Epitrochoid,Hypotrochoid, Lituus, Syntractrix (Yates, p.204) - other named curves?
• add to Paul_Nougé
