[edit] Thoughts on Wikipedia

It is often intensely frustrating to work on an article with editors of opposing viewpoints. However, even editors I strongly disagree with make Wikipedia articles better.

Unfortunately, I have seen multiple editors make important contributions to Wikipedia, but be so disruptive in confrontations with other editors, that they are banned. For long-term sustainability of the Wikipedia project, working with the community is just as important as contributing to the articles!

It is difficult to be in a position of a co-editor seemingly not understanding something so basic, so obvious, that one cannot even describe it for them. Having two people attempting to talk to each other, each in this situation, makes resolving a dispute difficult. Miscommunication is bound to ensue, resulting in hard feelings where perhaps none are warranted.

Assume good faith is a powerful tool in avoiding conflicts. When it fails, however, try Hanlon's razor.

[edit] Topics of interest

My typical adolescent curiosity about sexual intercourse has grown into a fascination with related topics such as birth control, fertility, reproduction, and the moral questions associated with them. Most of my Wiki contributions - now several thousand - have been in topics related to these.

Below is a list of articles I feel I have made important contributions to. I tend to judge importance based on the current development stage of the article. With more developed articles, I only consider addition of major content to be "important." With small relatively undeveloped articles, I might feel that major formatting improvements, even with little added content, were "important."

For other articles, I feel that my contributions at the time were important. But since my involvement, other editors have expanded these articles significantly beyond the contributions I made:


I have also contributed to a WikiBook Sexual Health.

AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTD

The motto of the AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTD is Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet, which translates to "it is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia." This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.
