[edit] Goals

My primary goals on Wikipedia are to fully develop the Lake George (Anoka County) page by engaging the residents of the lake and others with knowledge of the lake's history. Other than that, I generally flitter about the space. I'm particularly interested in improving linkages between articles.

[edit] Projects in which I participate (when I get the chance)


[edit] To do

  • Create an entry in, or linked to, East River about Verdant's underwater wind turbine project ([1], [2], [3], that leverages Tidal power

Boyer, Encyclopædia Britannica, American Museum of Natural History and University of Arizona, compiled by Ray Kurzweil.  See also: Accelerating change.

  • Wikidashboard - Created by scientists in the Augmented Social Cognition Research Group at Xerox's PARC. Read the release blog. From the blog "The idea is that if we provide social transparency and enable attribution of work to individual workers in Wikipedia, then this will eventually result in increased credibility and trust in the page content, and therefore higher levels of trust in Wikipedia." PARC hopes that "We're curious of how the Web community will use this tool to surface social dynamics and editing patterns that might otherwise be difficult to find and analyze in Wikipedia.
