Iliya Yur’evich Sheikin (Илья Юрьевич Шейкин, /illy-YUH SHEY-kin/)

After poking around with the Wiki sites for some years (and launching a few Russian-language subprojects in the process), I am now moving on up in the field of free education. I call all socially minded wiki enthusiats to overturn Wikipedia’s present government and update its business model. (For the prehistory of this, see my namesake user pages on ru.wikipedia, ru.wikibooks, and meta.wikimedia, particularly m:Requests for comments/Ramir on Russian Wikibooks.) I will gladly write an incriminating article for a rag, or give a public talk about my predicaments and proposed remedies. If willing co coöperate, please enquire:

Interests

A great many things concern me; generally, all that is great, high, universal, significant, widespread, influential, versatile, lasting and so on.

Articles

Weltanschauung

  • Albeit ugly, -ize is more correct than -ise.
  • Typographics. I use a little tool to input proper punctuation (like “” — ’…) with simple key gestures.
  • HTML, CSS, and typesetting.
    •   — the non-breaking space — should be used extensively.
