The original page is located at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rmrfstar. My name is Adam Gruen Krellenstein (or just Adam Krellenstein), and I'm a Wikipedian. I read and edit compulsively on almost any topic, most of the time, though, in the sciences or arts. I like to write about topics that I initially know nothing about, thereby exposing myself to new subjects. I'm a geek and proud of it.

[edit] Relevant Quotes

• Charles Van Doren, The American Behavioral Scientist, 6, No. 1, September 1962, pp 23-26:

1. The primary aim of an encyclopedia should be to teach. It should seek only secondarily to inform.
2. An encyclopedia should be primarily a work of art. It should be only secondarily a work of reference.
3. The point of a view of an encyclopedia should be primarily human. It should be only secondarily historical and/or scientific and/or literary.
4. The ideal reader of an encyclopedia should be primarily the curious average man [sic]. He should only secondarily be the specialist and/or the high school student.
5. An encyclopedia should be primarily a document that hopes to change the world for the better. It should be only secondarily a document that accurately reflects the knowledge, opinions and prejudices of its time." —

• The best way to become acquainted with a subject is to write a book about it. — Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
• You don't have to get it right. You just have to get it going. - Joe Schroeder
