January 1st also marks the anniversary of my dabbling in Wikipedia. My interest fluctuates periodically. This summer I’ve been exceptionally active whenever I’ve had occasional downtime at work. Just don’t do what my predecessor did and produce a trail of IP-logged anonymous edits pointing to her/my computer. Had she half a brain, she would’ve spent thirty seconds registering an account, thereby hiding her edits’ IP from public view. ((Had I half a brain, I wouldn’t be blogging about wiki-ing at work!))
Another New Year’s blogging tradition of mine is supplying my Wikipedia watchlist [.txt, 12K] as a personality zeitgeist. This year it’s grown to 274 articles, and it’s fascinating to browse the list and see my very soul summarised as a bulleted list. I hold a personal interest in most content I maintain, though some are just too out there to understand.
