[edit] My work here

I first came on here to edit on April 28, 2004. It is an addicting idea to try to add to something much bigger than I could ever do. I am a little skeptical over the idea of freedom to change anything, but overall I'm very impressed by the quality of articles and I have faith good work is being done and I can add to it.

There are many quality websites out there and it seems silly to duplicate too much. I like the idea of learning about something and testing my knowledge by trying to share it. For me that motivates much of my efforts here.

Primary topics I've worked on include geometry, astronomy, and election methods.

My specialty has primarily been image generation, perhaps because there's so many articles I've found where useful images were absent. I try to make quality images, but I will compromise perfection for meaningful improvement. I'm happy if anyone can replace my images with better ones.

In this presentation, he explains how Wikipedia's collaborative system works, and why it succeeds. (Recorded July 2005 in Oxford, UK. Duration: 20:47)

Corpses wrapped in blankets, three weeks after the Wounded Knee Massacre, which took place near Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota, United States, on December 29, 1890. In what was supposed to be a peaceful transport operation, troops of the 7th Cavalry and contingent of Miniconjou and Hunkpapa Sioux (Lakotas) engaged in battle, resulting in the deaths of 146 Lakotas and 25 troopers.
