I'd prefer if you gave your messages to me below, but if e-mail would be more appropriate (e.g., if I have written something that offends you), you can feel free to add to my persistent backlog at lsanger at nupedia.com.

Here is my to do list--mainly for my own use, but also to let people know where my priorities are right now.

What I've written here

I've worked on many hundreds of articles. I originated quite a few. I've inflicted a series of philosophy lectures first on Ohio State students, and now on Wikipedia.

I've written a few 'pedia-related columns, which I've moved to Wikipedia's meta-discussion wiki.

I am trying to promote Wikipedia. I want your help! Go to building Wikipedia membership.

I co-founded Wikipedia, and I am one of a few people who are paid to help organize this project.

I took the are you wikipediholic test, and scored a paltry 48. However, if people can get six points for having a row with me, I think I deserve fifty points just for being me.  :-) OK, I just edited the test. Now my score is 103.  :-)

Yes, I agree, he is he, nobody would argue with me! :-P

He is he, but this is twee, we'd all agree.

Larry's favorite philosopher is Thomas Reid, isn't he? Maybe!

I'm not envious because I live here, in Russia!
