A US citizen with a bit of travel exposure, I worked at numerous items as 65.247.35.18 (can still happen with failure to log in) before I got off my lazy duff and created a username. Having benefited from this worthy resource, I've felt it at least appropriate to make contribution on others' behalf where I can.
I'm an adherent, with historical focus, of Christian Science (you'd infer this from a glance at contributions) with interest in nearly anything. First came to know wikipedia through a friend, then made use of it in course of a research, then saw stuff in need of correction or amplification, then...you know the drill. Working on a return to normal bedtimes again, but think wikipedia is pretty cool.
An outstanding daytime triple-UFO sighting also gave me an active interest in both those and the argument they are best explained (consistent with corroborative accounts) as extraterrestrial visitation. I dream of the day of full contact and disclosure, while mindful we're not necessarily collectively ready for it. I've spent a bit of time on various occasions trying to bridge the gap between methodically sound scientific skepticism on the one hand and experiencers and believers on the other. When basic human juvenility is set aside by either camp, experiencers learn not all skeptics are blindly dogmatic ideologues and skeptics learn not all experiencers are naive crystal-waving twits; the two actually are ultimately reconcileable perspectives. I also have a longstanding interest in physics and the sciences as well as history, linguistics, and think I mentioned in just about everything.
Articles I've contributed to significantly to date have included Mary Baker Eddy, Christian Science, and derivative entries; Betty Eadie, Phil Krapf, Bob Lazar, Thomas Shepard, John Cotton, Livingston, Montana, the Church Universal and Triumphant, and fairy slippers.
An ivy-league concentration in US history only reinforced my sometimes dogmatic and annoying-to-acquaintances conviction in dialog and the NPOV.
