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

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 I don't like the idea of becoming stagnant, outdated, or irrelevant, so Wikipedia is pretty much a perfect fit for me.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?
