I've started a blog on Wikinews (http://cgwikinews.blogspot.com/), it hopefully will chart the progress of Wikinews as it becomes the worlds no. 1 news source.
Hey everyone! I'm from Mullingar, Ireland and have been an active member of Wikipedia since 14th May 2004. Since then i've also started editing on some of the other Wikis (see my sidebar for my other personas.) I've clocked up over 2000 edits over this period - mainly to Irish articles. I vist Wikipedia (almost) daily, and edit significantly at least once a week.
My main interests on wikipedia are the Business, Economic, and Corporation articles (particularly those relative to Ireland). In this area i've worked extensively on the Celtic Tiger, Economy of the Republic of Ireland and Ryanair articles - all of which now hold "featured status". Im also very interested in Sport - particularly Swimming - however I have'nt been quite as active in editing Sports related articles.
My main non-article activities on Wikipedia are keeping the Irish Notice Board up to date, being awkward on Featured Article Candidates and (recently) trying to keep the Awareness statistics page "alive".
I am highly ambitious, quite competitive, well read and an eternal optimist (sorry if this sounds more like a CV than a wiki profile!). I believe the vast majority of people are normally good and honest. Thus I believe in the Wikipedia idea of a colabrative open source repositery of factual information.
At present I am in full-time education. My dream in life is to spend the first 30 years of my working life as a (highly!) successful entrepreneur and the second 30 years as a passionate Philanthropist! Like I said - I don't lack ambition. Whatever happens in my life - one things for sure - I want to enjoy it!
