Wikipedia is not a blog, webspace provider, or social networking site. I think of this page as a way of organizing the work that I am doing on the articles in Wikipedia, and also a way of helping other editors to understand the person with whom they are working.

I may add information about myself soon, possibly including contact information (e-mail, instant messaging, etc), a photograph, my real name, my location, information about my areas of expertise and interest, likes and dislikes, homepages, and so forth. (But right now, I am more concerned with privacy, so I may not want to add that information, and I am by no means required to provide this. I am aware that my user page may be duplicated by some of the websites that mirror Wikipedia.)

I hope to use my user page to help me use Wikipedia more effectively: to list "to do" information, works in progress, reminders, useful links, and so forth. It is also good for experimenting with markup (that is, as a personal sandbox).

To do list
