From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've made over 3000 mainspace edits, and I'm tired. I've become rather addicted to Wikipedia, and now I'm going cold turkey. I'm tired of all the tiny edits: correcting vandalism, removing commercial external links, removing red links from lists of bands, things like that. I was hoping I would feel more of a community feeling at Wikipedia than I've been able to feel. I think I'm going to look for it somewhere else. I may be back now and then, if I see a good contribution I can make, but then again, perhaps I'll do it elsewhere. Cheers, Doctormatt 01:53, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Followup: In the last month or so, I've been making a few edits, just for the heck of it. I made an edit to Nardcore, removing a claim that has been tagged with a Citation Needed tag since October 2007 (!). The result is a user yelling at me for doing so: they reverted the edit, and wrote on my talk page "How dare you remove it?". Ha! What silly people!! Perhaps I'll go away again.

My interests include mathematics (especially number theory and curves), music (especially experimental and noise), cycling, and a bunch of other stuff.

[edit] Things to do

better (e.g. bigger, anti-aliased, SVG) graphics at Conchoid_of_de_Sluze, Quadric_surface, Watt's_curve, locus, orthogonal trajectory, Wittgenstein's_rod,Cissoid_of_Diocles
properly scaled graphic needed at Lemniscate of Bernoulli
expand Hessian curve
article for Director's chair
article for Stockhausen's Mikrophonie I
add chapter summaries to The_Conquest_of_Bread
rewrite the article for Hitchcock's Suspicion: it reads as a comparison of the movie and the novel, with a severe bias toward the novel; most of this info should be on the novel's page
article for the kieroid (Yates,p. 141)
article for Blackhouse, the noise band
article for Swinging Erudites, Boston parody band
article for Alloy Orchestra ([1])?
figure out SVG
flesh out atriphtaloid,Conchoid_of_Dürer,bicorn, isoptic, Epitrochoid,Hypotrochoid, Lituus, Syntractrix (Yates, p.204) - other named curves?
