Azimuthrising is a relatively new screen name for me. Wanna know what it means? See: Azimuth
I am pre-doctoral student in anthropology and sociology. I joined Wiki to comment on erroneous content and fill in the blanks on subjects that I would have found helpful. Hopefully others will benefit from the time and effort that contributers put into expanding this site.
As a user, Wikipedia is a great source for general information. Although caution and spectulation is necessary, Wiki can help you get enough of an understanding of a subject that you can search for more specific information. Plus, the article sources are goods starting points for finding more resources.
Funny Story:
- I have a friend who downloaded the entire Wikipedia onto a series of disks and buried them in time capsules around the USA.
- His goal is to deposit the internet-based knowledge of the world onto each continent within the next few years... just in case something happens.
- Watch out Shanghai! He'll be there in 2008 with a shovel in hand!
