Hi, My name is Mike. My first steps in Wikipedia were frustrated and frustrating, but things are getting better. I live with my world focussed through the lens of this PC, which means I sometimes lack perspective, but I am passionate and keen to help others, particularly those who find themselves in similar positions to those I have found myself in, as I feel one can learn from more than just one's own mistakes.[1]
I work[2] at a university where I am continually finding that the work of the academic is undermined and undervalued, so I thought I would involve myself in another knowledge-based community, Wikipedia, so that being undermined can become an artform in itself, rather than just a day-job.
However, in the main, I have been surprised how well Wikipedians work together and with one or two notable exceptions, I am finding that people in this environment are interested in the sharing of personal knowledge, with intellectual rigour, for the education of others.
So if you have anything to say about my editing, please feel free to talk to me in my discussion page.
