[edit] NPOV is hard
All articles where I edit, I have personal interests in, which makes NPOV hard. I knew some of the people I write about. Also, why would I bother writing about something I do not care about? POV is often the start of the interest in an article. Then one needs to fill in the NPOV and References to make it appear neutral. Any article which nobody has any personal interest in is, would that article ever be written?
[edit] Started these articles
About Descartes "Scientific Method" Discourse on Method, possibly the start of modern Science.: It was empty
About Almroth Wright, Sir Alexander Flemings mentor, and a giant in medicine: It was empty
About Nehru's An autobiography : It was empty
About Voronai tessalonations: It was empty
About Lord Moran: It was empty
And by now, many more .)
[edit] Other Edits
Filled in a lot of details here and there, mostly related to linguistics. Filled in a few facts about old family friends: Graf Felix von Luckner, Sir Alexander Fleming and Charles Berlitz. They are all gone now, alas.
Interests here: Mostly read up to get overviews of different areas of philosophy. In the very few areas I felt I could contribute, I have. The articles in this area are getting better and better all the time.
I am very happy to say that every edit that has taken place after I started or edited an article, has always been an obvious improvement to what I started, and most of what I wrote is still there, but better written.
Latest Current Interest was the Muhammed Cartoons, since it took me a while to understand what the perceived insult was supposed to be about. That issue is complex, since there are many views on what the issue is really about. It is a lot more complex than just "perceived insult" vs "freedom of the press".
