From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I found out about Wikipedia in late August of 2003, and have been contributing since. I am a member of the Wikipedia:Association of Members' Advocates; feel free to request my help if you are involved in a dispute.

I am most knowledgable about computer science, mathematics, and music theory, having published original research in the former two fields, though I also have a good deal of general knowledge. I generally contribute when I see a page which I could add content to without being redundant, though I correct any page that I find a typo or Wiki syntax error. These corrections are flagged as minor edits.

You can reach me via email at metasquares at metasquares dot com, AIM at MetaCubed, or Jabber at metasquares at metasquares dot com. I prefer email communication. My ICQ UIN's password mysteriously changed, so please do not ICQ me (at 55140931) until I indicate that I have been able to regain access to my UIN.

I prefer to create entirely new articles than edit current ones. Generally, at least 50% of my edits are new pages. Once I edit one article in a category, I try to fill in all of that category's articles. See DVD-RW for an example.

I try to abstain from edit wars. While these are great for one's edit count (Which I now see is an indicator of status in an otherwise unstratified community), some spanning hundreds or even thousands of edits, they don't help anyone, and usually end up getting a page protected or a user banned. If there's a discrepancy that one or two edits will not fix, my policy is to take it up on a talk page.

I have some issues connecting to Wikipedia on occasion. This problem used to be a lot worse than it is now. Metasquares 19:26, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
