Welcome to my user page! I'm a physicist by training, but by profession it's not as clear... an engineer, I guess. I regularly make minor Wikipedia edits and every once in a while I feel motivated to sit down for a few days to make major edits. You'll occasionally finds drafts in my user space. Requests and feedback are welcome.
Years ago I looked at the page view statistics for some of the pages I created or made substantial edits to and realized that this website gives us the opportunity to present and share specialized knowledge to so broad an audience that the impact and value created must trump any other volunteer work I've tried. I'd do it more often if it didn't require being alone in front of the computer all day.
Most of my larger contributions so far have been related to mathematics, physics, and aerospace engineering. I'm particularly interested in identifying articles that are fundamental and popular but need a lot of work. My crude algorithm for the last couple projects? Sort the list of popular pages in the Physics and Mathematics WikiProjects by page views and start scrolling down looking for popular articles with low grades that I have some background in and would enjoy editing. The sweet spot for me seems to be undergraduate-level concepts that no one has tackled rigorously yet. Feel free to steal my strategy.
