I've noticed a pattern in my Wikipedia usage that I imagine is quite common. First, I'm mainly a reader, browsing for interesting articles and looking up facts, etc. Then I start getting into the editing aspects for a couple of months. Next, I become skeptical about the viability of Wikipedia for one reason or another. These can include an oscillation between the optimistic and pessimistic strains of m:eventualism or various ideas about how Wikipedia will inevitably capsize as it gets incredibly large. In any case, my edits to Wikipedia wane (I'm likely to go on wikibreak without warning). At some point, there's something I want to find out about or look up that its just easier to find on Wikipedia than other places. The cycle begins again.

Some of my interests include Science Ficiton (authors), comics (requested articles), sports, history and geography. My degree is in Environmental Planning and Policy (it's actually a city planning degree), so I'm getting around to working in that area.

[edit] Today's Featured Article

Major features of the Solar System (not to scale)

The Solar System comprises the Sun and the retinue of celestial objects gravitationally bound to it: the eight planets, their 162 known moons, three currently identified dwarf planets and their four known moons, and thousands of small bodies. This last category includes asteroids, meteoroids, comets, and interplanetary dust. In broad terms, the charted regions of the Solar System consist of the Sun, four rocky bodies close to it called the inner planets, an inner belt of rocky asteroids, four giant outer planets and a second belt of small icy bodies known as the Kuiper belt. In order of their distances from the Sun, the planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Six of the eight planets are in turn orbited by natural satellites (usually termed "moons" after Earth's Moon) and every planet past the asteroid belt is encircled by planetary rings of dust and other particles. All the planets, other than the Earth, are named after gods and goddesses from Greco-Roman mythology. The three dwarf planets are Pluto, the largest known Kuiper belt object, Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, and Eris which lies beyond the Kuiper belt in a region called the scattered disc.

[edit] Lakes in Washington

At one time I was going to expand the stub: Lake Whatcom, but I could't decide if it's anything more than local interest. The most encyclopedic fact about it I can think of is that its the sixth largest lake in Washington State (I thought, it actually is a couple spots lower). Of course, with how inclusive Wikipedia is nowadays, that's more than enough to be notable.

My list of the largest lakes in Washington has been superceded by List of lakes in Washington.
