User:Carbon Caryatid

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

My primary interest on Wikipedia is helping to

weave the web. Creating links between mere raw items of information turns data into the "aha!", the "I never knew that!", the "now I see!", the "eureka
!"

Sometimes I act as a

cousin couples and political decoy I want to add them wherever relevant, so other readers can be exposed to these ideas as well.) Sometimes I write opening sentences or paragraphs that tie the threads together, placing a subject in context. Sometimes I contribute to the reference desks, especially humanities and miscellaneous: answers, and also questions. Sometimes I hive off sections into separate stand-alone articles. So I really should join in with Wikipedia:WikiProject Reference Desk Article Collaboration
.

I have wide-ranging interests. Don't we all? I also have my blind spots. Don't we all?
