Feel free to leave me a message

These days, I am not very active on Wikipedia. Feel free to email me for a quick response.

\'pur-pəs\

My purpose on Wikipedia is to help create articles of the best possible quality, informative, interesting, and free of bias. Further, I will lend what analysis I can to community discussion and will try to improve Wikipedia's overall design, look, and feel. Fault me if you ever see me doing otherwise.

\'short\

I like to think of myself as a dynamic individual who constantly changes - hopefully for the better - without compromising my core values. I don't like the idea of becoming stagnant, outdated, or irrelevant, so Wikipedia is pretty much a perfect fit for me.

Bots

  • Don't allow multiple "spell checker" bots, as this could be very inefficient. Instead, add to one bot's dictionary.

Policy

  • Don't allow sections called "Conclusion" in Wikipedia articles. Such subheadings are, by nature, both POV and original research.

Organization

Some of these are probably impossible:

  • Normalize everything under one domain. (For example, en.wikimedia.org, es.wikipedia.wikimedia.org, de.commons.wikimedia.org. . . .)
  • Continue to allow, say, wikipedia.com to redirect to the appropriate page.
  • Under the new domain system, change the user system so that user pages/edits/contributions are all one a single page, if the user desires. (For example: wikimedia.org/User:John.) This would involve some kind of normalization as well. 3NF is good.

Aesthetic

Ease-of-use

  • Somehow categorize Wikipedia:How to . . . articles better, possibly all stemming from one category. Highlights could be shown on the Community Portal. (In short, unify Wikipedia.)
  • Don't blindly divide categories by letter, but rather by supercategory.

Feel free to respond, if you are one of those enlightened people.

  • What is the meaning of life? And what does that question mean?
  • Where is the line between life and non-life?
  • Where does choice come from?
  • Why is life proactive, as opposed to nonlife, which simply obeys the laws of physics, without using energy to—say—defy gravity?
  • Can emotion be programmed?
  • Where do we feel?
  • Why does art move us?
  • What makes us want to be better, to have purpose?
