Jay is a contributor on Wikipedia since Jul 5, 2003 and a sysop since Mar 12, 2004.
He is a Capricornian and shares his birthdate with Benjamin Franklin, Anton Chekhov, Muhammad Ali, Jim Carrey and Javed Akhtar.
His interests lie mainly in computers, etymology and people. He is very grammar-conscious.
Five years from now if Wikipedia stands apart from other storehouses of knowledge, it would be because it is neutral, uniform and extensive.
"The privilege of resisting or disobeying a particular law or order accrues only to him who gives willing and unswerving obedience to the laws laid down for him. -- Gandhi"
