[edit] About Me

Editor Emeritus' Userbox Info
|
A doctoral student at a major national university, I am a quasi-retired journalist with a bachelor's degree in rhetoric and work experience in politics. As a writer and editor, I was neither anonymous nor famous, but rather known in various small circles and occasionally ogled by others. I am named in a handful of Wikipedia articles in addition to being the subject of an article myself.
Today I am first and foremost a graduate student, but also an occasional scribe, curious Wikipedian, amateur chef and many other things. While I abhor anonymous journalism in all its decrepit forms, I am intrigued by the structure of Wikipedia and participate accordingly. Truthfully, I do not know how I feel about the venture in general, and somehow doubt that history will cast a completely favorable light upon it, but I would also be remiss to not participate in a manner that heightens the experience for me and, perhaps, occasionally does similarly for others.
Beyond that, I think the general demeanor of the Wikipedia community suggests I keep my name, gender, ethnicity, age, Zodiac sign and favorite Saturday Night Live sketch to myself. But I also have no doubt that any of those who know me will be able to read the above and find little doubt in having stumbled across my Wikipedia page.
