From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I can comfortably say that I use Wikipedia almost everyday, and I would like to become more involved in this project. However, I am a total IT-illiterate, although my writing skills are extremely good. I just want to talk a bit about myself (in hopes of finding somebody to adopt me):
Outspoken and opinionated, places logic above all, thrives on good conversations, and keen on constantly learning. I'm a rather talkative person, when I'm with people that I am comfortable with, normally, I'm mostly a peaceful and quiet person, in the sense that I don't like drama, nor do I like problems. I enjoy reading and writing, watching indie, dogma and foreign films. I am passionate about music (mainly Indie, Electro and Trip Hop), as well as politics and economics.
If I did learn the guidelines and rules to contributing (I tried reading, but I couldn't understand some of the lingo and the jargon, plus there are just way too many hyper links for my narrow attention span). I would definitely want to produce content in the following areas:
- The Middle East (specifically Jordan and the Levant; from a cultural, socioeconomic, political and ethnic background).
- Homosexuality, gay culture, gender identification, Queer Theory, Middle Eastern gay culture and identity, queergender, no-gender and third gender identities, gay rights and human rights watchdog groups, pink economy and gay spending and purchasing power.
- Indie projects, whether involved in music (and shaping local music scenes), in marketing, films and production, community-based art projects, anti-establishment functions and groups, small and medium enterprises and entrepreneurs.
- Arabic culture, arts, music, theater, films, books and publications.
- Soccer/Football! (especially within the Serie A and the Barclays Premiership League; also on an international, East Asian and North African level).
- Music (although I realize that most of such pages have been written).
Please contact me if you're interested in showing me the ropes of Wikipedia!
Actually, I just had a brilliant idea: Can one use a wiki talk page (getting used to the jargon here!) as a platform to blog?
