From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I live in the Los Angeles area. Wikipedia interests include:

Nepal history and geography. I spent 2-1/2 years there as a Peace Corps Volunteer. My post was in Pyuthan District, Rapti Zone.

Western Massachusetts, particularly Pioneer Valley and the Hilltowns further west. I grew up in one of the hilltowns

Native trout and salmon of North America. I have fished for most species and sub-species found in the western U.S. and Canada.

Making the English version of Wikipedia more international by encouraging authors in other countries to submit material and helping them with English and Wikipedia conventions wherever necessary.

Wikipedia as a potentially dominant paradigm and medium for giving laypeople access to knowledge globally. Fulfilling the orginal 18th century vision of what an encyclopedia is.
