I joined Wikipedia on October 23, 2005, after reading (over a period of several months) probably hundreds of articles and then eventually editing a bunch without creating an account. Someone suggested I create an account, so I did.
News Flash: I have some.
However, if you find bias in anything I have written, then I have failed in that particular piece of writing. If you point it out to me politely, I will respond politely, and we can work together to improve the article.
I am not going to list all (or any) of my possible areas of bias here. Everybody is biased on some subject to one extent or another, and it's usually on subjects that interest them -- and many, many things interest me. Speaking for myself, the topics that interest me the most are the topics where you will find me doing something more than just correcting the occasional spelling or formatting error, but I think that probably goes for most people.
Although I was using Wikipedia as a reference source for months, and tweaked a couple of articles here and there (usually nothing more than correcting a spelling mistake) before a flurry of activity prompted someone to suggest I actually join, now that I have joined and have to take some measure of responsibility for what I do, I am more likely to stop and ask myself, "Is what I am about to do the best course of action?" Sometimes it is, and sometimes, believe it or not, I learn something. Here are some things I am learning:
If you feel that any of the conclusions I have drawn above are incorrect, please feel free to let me know. Thanks.
Anything on this page that looks remotely cool I have brazenly stolen from other cool user pages on Wikipedia:
Thanks everyone!

Thanks to those of you who have reverted vandalism on my pages.
