Welcome. My name is David and I live in San Diego County in California. I became a Wikipedian in 2006. My goal in becoming a Wikipedian was originally simply to edit typos. I now mend flaws in grammar, diction, and syntax to reduce ambiguity and promote clarity wherever such corrections could be made without creating new ambiguities, unintended meanings, or changes in content. Occasionally I modify content, but only when the information is common knowledge or when I have "reliable" primary or secondary authorities to make said content modification an appropriate action to be taken by any dutiful Wikipedian. I, like many others I'm sure, would have loved to have snuck into certain French salons wherein witty and charming ladies (e.g., Émilie du Châtelet) hosted gatherings of the original encyclopedians and their scientific and literary contemporaries (e.g. Diderot, Jean le Rond d'Alembert, Voltaire, etc.). How does Wikipedea host such a gathering? What would people eat? Virtual wine and digital cheese?
