Hello. This page contains decreasing amounts of information over time, as I consider myself, as a Wikipedian, rather less important than my edits. But I get curious about other editors, so it'd be hypocritical to say nothing at all.

Here are a few bits of suggested reading for everybody working on any collaborative online project, but especially this one...

• Why Wikipedia must lose its anti-éliteism (by one of its founders)

• How we very often misinterpret the tone of what we read (from Wired )

• Challenge how you know that which you think you know.

• Search English Wikipedia using Google
• Upload own work to Wikimedia commons
• Those handy templates...

Just to further explain my use of this box up there in the babel list. If creating a British topic, I use British English; I respect U.S. topics by using U.S. English there (and indeed Canadian topics by using Canadian English; hence my avoiding the term "American English"...). This is in-keeping with current guidelines, presuming they've not been messed around with again recently. Although I disagree strongly with recommendations that the choice should be predicated on the initial editor; it should be dictated by the locale of the topic. I will be very grateful to other editors who also respect the guidelines, employ common sense, and refrain from "fixing" the variant of English without valid reason.
