Scene from Millennium, Episode #1

Man: "I'm Peter Watts, from the Group." [He hands Frank an envelope.]

Watts: "I would have faxed you, but I wanted to introduce myself."

Frank: "I heard you were down looking at the body. Did you find anything?"

Watts: "A few things slipped by. One salient oversight... "

Why I like contributing to Wikipedia

Ever since 1998 when I went online, I found that I was engaging in all sorts of intellectual debate in message boards. Too many times the debates ended up being trolled and I dreaded going back to debates. I also found that I spent a huge amount of time researching and preparing these responses - and then realising after 2-3 weeks that no one read them and that they were lost forever.

Wikipedia allows me to create articles and modify articles without having to bump into direct conflict. Because I have to be NPOV it means that I have to be reasonable in my prose which is less likely to cause offense.

Wikipedia also allows me to work on it whenever I feel like it. There are no deadlines. I do not have to contribute on one particular day if I don't want to. It is always there for me to go to whenever I feel like it.

And finally the work I do on Wikipedia is meaningful. I am creating text that people can use and think about. Even if my work gets modified, the fact is that it has been used to build something better. Moreover, the work seems likely to endure. It could be that in 20-30 years my work on Wikipedia will still be available and accessed by many.

Pages I am heavily involved with

The average Wiki article is 2.5 kb in size. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wikistats/EN/TablesArticlesBytesPerArticle.htm)
I am aiming to have at least three and a half times the average - say around 8.8kb per article.

The Adolf Hitler article is 47.6k (6929 words). This gives an idea of how complete a particular article can be.

I am also aiming to have every article re-worked for the Simple English Wikipedia (http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)
The average Simple English article is 1.4kb, which means I am aiming for a 4.8kb sized Simple English article as well.

Articles in bold are ones that I started or created
Articles in Yellow are smaller than 8.8kb
Articles with SE have a Simple English Wikipedia article
