My primary interest on Wikipedia is helping to weave the web. Creating links between mere raw items of information turns data into the "aha!", the "I never knew that!", the "now I see!", the "eureka!"

Sometimes I act as a wikignome. Sometimes I add facts that come my way. Mainly I sprinkle in wikilinks, and "see also"s, and terms for things that previously had no name. (I love it that Wikipedia has given me names for concepts I knew of but had never really thought about. Once we have a name for something, it becomes a much more real mental construct, and suddenly we see examples all around us. So once Wikipedia led me to the Anglosphere and cousin couples and political decoy I want to add them wherever relevant, so other readers can be exposed to these ideas as well.) Sometimes I write opening sentences or paragraphs that tie the threads together, placing a subject in context. Sometimes I contribute to the reference desks, especially humanities and miscellaneous: answers, and also questions. Sometimes I hive off sections into separate stand-alone articles. So I really should join in with Wikipedia:WikiProject Reference Desk Article Collaboration.

I have wide-ranging interests. Don't we all? I also have my blind spots. Don't we all?
