He who knows does not know. He who knows he does not know, knows.

I have been using Wikipedia (a project I believe strongly in) since October of 2006. My initial edits were never referenced and I had dove in without reading the instructions—my approach to everything in life! I always get a chuckle when I hear college professors speak in complete ignorance about this site, deeming content as unreliable and its editors as incompetent.

True, there are Wikipedia entries out there that are unreliable. True also that there are some really terrible editors out there who duke it out with their own grammar. Yet, there are just as many outstanding articles in existence as there are unreliable ones. There are just as many (if not more) outstanding editors out there with excellent grammar who also possess the insatiable drive to reference absolutely everything.

I respect the goals of the project, and so I support Wikipedia philosophies and policies, particularly

• Research
• Uploading and editing images using the various
  copyright tags
• Fixing spelling errors using AWB.
• Fixing or adding infoboxes.
• History
• Zen Buddhism
• Jazz
• Social work
• Cincinnati

• 'The itis': I have made 23,346 edits since October 2006.

• Template:Infobox Buddhist biography

Just a simple infobox I created a while back for use in biographies of Buddhists; many others have since improved upon the original model.

• Template:Infobox Buddhist temple

Another infobox I created a while back for use in Wikipedia entries on Buddhist buildings; again, others have since improved upon the original model.

• Template:Infobox Musical artist

• Wikipedia:Layout

• Wikipedia:Citation templates

• Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide/Task forces

• stats.grok.se
