I want to make contributions worthy of Barnstars, but I don't want to receive them. I want my reward for service to be useful, stable, un-vandalized text.
I like to randomly select articles in order to (a) learn something new & (b) find something I can contribute to in grammar, structure or (sometimes) fact. I also enjoy going to external sources to dig up needed citations.
I subscribe to the Wikipedian philosophy of
Incrementalism. I wish users would verify an article exists before Wiki-ing a word -- red links are distracting.
You might want to check them out too.

Interests:
Aerospace,
Space exploration,
Science fiction,
Monty Python and Music (particularly
Classical and
Heavy Metal).
Cultures I find particularly interesting:
Japanese,
Russian,
Scottish and
German. My ethnicity is partly made up of the latter two, in fact.
I tend to have a
verbose writing style, but try to avoid
Doublespeak.
