Hello, happy taxpayers editors! I discovered Wikipedia in 2004 and started contributing in 2005. Whether I lean towards eventualism or immediatism depends entirely on the subject matter at hand.
'मेत्ता -- Boldly spread Mettā !
My goals
- Overhaul H2G2 quotes
- √ Boldly rewrite the article on Paul Otlet
- Improve style following large additions by 128.174.155.55 (whom I couldn't reach)
- Give it more visibility from the rest of Wikipedia
- √ Contribute what I know about NeXT
- Contribute what I know about early WWW history
- √ Create an article on Alistair Cockburn (well, someone else did)
- Expand the article on Edward Tufte and create specific articles about the VDQI and further works. Note reference to Hypnerotomachia Poliphili
- √ Rewrite and fact-check
epoch date epoch (reference date), √ clarify the meanings of epoch
- Untangle the mess around notions of time measurement, e.g.:
- Create an informative Timekeeping article, which currently redirects to Time
- Unite lists of calendars from sections of calendar era, common era and friends
- Draw a map of related pages and attempt refactoring
- Document Europe's first public electric lighting in La Roche sur Foron -- see Thomas Edison and Roselle, New Jersey
- Improve music entries:
- Find or start a project to contribute sources of classical music fallen out of copyright (e.g. my 1894-1903 edition of Beethoven's sonatas)
- Define a format to quote music excerpts (markup, Midi, Barfly?) to be human-readable and machine-playable with indexing capabilities -- there must be an existing project for this!
- Start quoting from popular songs and explain how to do it (note how this differs from music samples)
- Find or define an opus box template including composer, date, tonality, instruments, catalog number, notable recordings, etc.
- √ Update and clean up links to British overseas territories
- Create a generic description of overseas territory from List of dependent territories and relevant national pages such as British overseas territories, U.S. insular areas and French overseas departments and territories
- Write a summary article on transalpine tunnels
- Musicians to watch: Prince, Franz Ferdinand, Björk
