—Anaxagoras on Wikipedia's limits and quality

Those who claim to be hurt by words must be led to expect nothing in compensation. Otherwise, once they learn they can get something by claiming to be hurt, they will go into the business of being offended.

[edit] Interests

My areas of interest in Wikipedia are (1) the Ref Desks for Humanities, Language and Miscellaneous; (2) Random Articles in English requiring copy editing and (3) interesting facts, suppositions and opinions, while trying to be clear about the difference.

[edit] Strength

I believe that Wikipedia's greatest strength is its active effort to remain neutral in its point of view, even under the greatest of pressures to be everything else but. To be able to describe what is, without getting into what it ought or ought not to be, sets a standard the rest of the world could do well to follow.

[edit] Travels

I have been to the following 36 places, many more than once: Mexico, Barbados, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Jamaica, British Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten, St. Martin, Venezuela, Panama, Costa Rica, Belize, Guatemala, Nicaraugua, Canada (all provinces except for Nunavit and the Yukon), United States (Massachussetts, Maine, Connecticut, New Hampshire, New York, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Nevada, California, Oregon, Alaska, Hawaii, Colorado, North Dakota, Minnesota), England, Scotland, France, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Morocco, Sweden, Norway, Monaco, Switzerland, Cook Islands, New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong (before it rejoined China), Macao, Yugoslavia.

Still on my "one day, after I win a lottery" list are: Ireland, South Africa, Brazil, Russia, The Czech Republic, Poland, China, Japan and Mozambique.
