I'm Eli, a student and researcher in Sociology and Social Anthropology at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. Knowledge has become one of my central life pursuits - so I've decided to create a new Wikipedia account to combat sloppy and biased POV writing on a site that has, for better or worse, become a primary source of knowledge for millions worldwide. Many people on this site confuse their own subjective opinion for objective fact, or confuse a certain social group's opinion on an objective fact as being one-and-the-same as the objective fact itself. While other users join this site for the production of knowledge, I have essentially joined for the surveillence of it.
