I always conduct research for any subject about which I write. It isn't hard to do, given so many good internet resources; it does require some skill in manipulating search engines to provide the answers one seeks, though. I may provide a guide in the future that'll describe how to do this. Poorly researched articles have little value, in my opinion. However, there is value in adding a piece of information temporarily, in anticipation of expanding the article. I fully support that.

About me
I don't much care for self-promotion or personal accolades. For the sake of interest, this page will contain a list of articles, templates, etc. to which I have contributed. I participate in the Canada collaboration, and can be found on the Canadian wikipedians' notice board.
I'm quite technically proficient, preferring the following software:
- FreeBSD (any BSD is good)
- PostgreSQL
- Perl
- Apache
- Postfix, though I haven't used it much
I prefer BSD-style licences for software (and knowledge in general).
Research
I always conduct research for any subject about which I write. It isn't hard to do, given so many good internet resources; it does require some skill in manipulating search engines to provide the answers one seeks, though. I may provide a guide in the future that'll describe how to do this. Poorly researched articles have little value, in my opinion. However, there is value in adding a piece of information temporarily, in anticipation of expanding the article. I fully support that. Please neglect the fact that I've created a few stubs; I'll be expanding them as time permits.
Featured articles
None yet. I am contributing significantly to the National Film Board of Canada article, and the Oak Ridges Moraine family of articles, both of which I nominated for Canadian Collaboration of the Week (COTW). Hopefully, these articles will achieve featured status.
Useless crap
For some reason, my meta user info doesn't behave, so I'm putting it here...meta:User:Mindmatrix
