I am back from wikibreak, but will most likely be more limited in my wiki work in the near future.

I've noticed a pattern in my Wikipedia usage that I imagine is quite common. First, I'm mainly a reader, browsing for interesting articles and looking up facts, etc. Then I start getting into the editing aspects for a couple of months. Next, I become skeptical about the viability of Wikipedia for one reason or another. These can include an oscillation between the optimistic and pessimistic strains of m:eventualism or various ideas about how Wikipedia will inevitably capsize as it gets incredibly large. In any case, my edits to Wikipedia wane (I'm likely to go on wikibreak without warning). At some point, there's something I want to find out about or look up that its just easier to find on Wikipedia than other places. The cycle begins again.

Some of my interests include Science Ficiton (authors), comics (requested articles), sports, history and geography. My degree is in Environmental Planning and Policy (it's actually a city planning degree), so I'm getting around to working in that area.

George I of Great Britain, circa 1714

George I was King of Great Britain and Ireland, from 1 August 1714 until his death. At the age of 54, he ascended the British throne as the first monarch of the House of Hanover. Although many bore closer blood-relationships to the childless Queen Anne, the Act of Settlement 1701, which prohibits Catholics from inheriting the throne, designated her cousin, Sophia of Hanover, as heiress to the throne. Sophia was Anne's closest living Protestant relative but died a matter of weeks before Anne leaving the Protestant succession to her son, George. In reaction, the Jacobites attempted to depose George and replace him with Anne's Catholic half-brother, James Francis Edward Stuart, but their attempts failed. During George's reign in Britain, the powers of the monarchy diminished and the modern system of Cabinet government led by a Prime Minister underwent development. Towards the end of his reign, actual power was held by Sir Robert Walpole. George died on a trip to his native Hanover, where he was buried. (more...)

[edit] Lakes in Washington

At one time I was going to expand the stub: Lake Whatcom, but I could't decide if it's anything more than local interest. The most encyclopedic fact about it I can think of is that its the sixth largest lake in Washington State (I thought, it actually is a couple spots lower). Of course, with how inclusive Wikipedia is nowadays, that's more than enough to be notable.

My list of the largest lakes in Washington has been superceded by List of lakes in Washington.
