Why Dante would have contributed to Wikipedia
All men whom the higher nature has imbued with a love of truth should feel impelled to work for the benefit of future generations, whom they will thereby enrich just as they themselves have been enriched by the labours of their ancestors. Let there be no doubt in the mind of the man who has benefited from the common heritage but does not trouble to contribute to the common good that he is failing sadly in his duty.

My name is Iain McIntyre. I am a male 30something and live in the UK. I am also a musician with a Bachelor's Degree in Music, but I no longer work in music. I have composed several works - including a concerto for piano and alto flute, and a large-scale work for wind instruments - all of which remain unpublished. My poem "Unaccompanied" won an award after I submitted it on Poetry.com and was published in a compilation in 2004. I presently live here (where I grew up so I've gone full circle almost!) though I was born here (of parents from here) and have lived here, here, here and here, among other places. I am not an Australian rock star (unfortunately).
My life and interests
This article has been unilaterally declared to belong to WikiProject South Street, a gang group of editors who like to loiter around this corner of Wikipedia, for reasons that are none of your business. We are in the process of marking all pages of our territory with our distinctive and incompatible guidelines and policies for article layout, citation style, section ordering, image formats, and, most importantly, with our exclusive, huge, ugly, and totally useless navbox. Other gangs WikiProjects are advised to stay out of our territory, or else. (November 1963)
Talkpages are such a crucial part of the Wiki process, that I often find myself participating in these for days without actually editing any articles. This includes discussions in article talk pages, as well as in project talkpages, usertalk pages and process talkpages (eg WP:AfD and WP:RM). This is a good thing, I believe, since edits need to be justified and certainly need to be discussed fully if they are controversial. Often, I will take an apparently oblique position that I don't actually agree with. This is to help move the discussion on and highlight issues that have not yet been considered. I also knowingly put forward flawed arguments, on occasion. I don't do this to trip people up, rather I do it either to help highlight flaws elsewhere in a discussion or, again, to highlight issues that have not yet been considered. A good example is found here and, especially, in the the follow up in which I go off at a tangent to suggest that Felix Mendelssohn is not a great composer. I later explain both why I did this and my true feelings about his music. In this case, the strategy was justified and helped focus the discussion. On other ocassions, the strategy can backfire! Feel free to comment on my way of approaching discussions on my talkpage.
I would like to thank you for toning down that debate. I some time come off a little hard when i think someone is trying to sneak something by me. But i see now that there is no sneaking, just a misunderstanding. I hope one day we can work on an article together. I see by your talk page your well like in our "wikinerd" community and wish that this was not our first meeting.... Buzzzsherman (talk) 05:10, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

What a Brilliant Idea Barnstar
For all you hard work reviewing WP:MoS I want to personally thank you and more specifically your work with WP:record charts and WP:USCHARTS. Its been such pleasent and informative experience working with you. If it wasn't for your involvement the transclusion and merging of the proposals would have taken a much longer time.

The Barnstar of Diplomacy
Now that the dust has settled I wanted to recognise the sterling work you and others did on the infoboxes RfC in order to work out a compromise. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:16, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park is the largest hot spring in the United States, and the third largest in the world. It is located in the Midway Geyser Basin. Grand Prismatic Spring was noted by geologists working in the Hayden Geological Survey of 1871, and named by them for its striking coloration. Its colors match most of those seen in the rainbow dispersion of white light by an optical prism: red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. The bright, vivid colors in the spring are the result of microbial mats around the edges of the mineral-rich water. The mats produce colors ranging from green to red; the amount of color in the microbial mats depends on the ratio of chlorophyll to carotenoids and on the temperature gradient in the runoff. In the summer, the mats tend to be orange and red, whereas in the winter the mats are usually dark green. The deep blue color of the water in the center of the pool results from the intrinsic blue color of water. The effect is strongest in the center of the spring, because of its sterility and depth.
