Greetings. I have been a part-time, almost sporadic editor for a couple of years now. If I had more time I would involve myself more with this project. For now, I'll just edit where I see fit and enjoy the articles that express my interest whether I
edit them or not.
I do my best to abide by the
- Tools, etc.
- Virgil's WikiScanner See which organizations are editing wikipedia.

A printed encyclopedia is written by a select group of people who usually bring in their own biases to the table, most likely unintentional. Once it goes into print, any errors stay there forever. On wikipedia, any glaring omissions or errors can corrected fairly easily once they are identified.
