Motivation[edit]
If after reading this page you do not comment by saying: Can you please write about..., or, can you please write something in that page, then you will spend much time in vain.
This page is meant to help me distill my goals as a wiki by soliciting comments to my knowledge and see what might be more desired for the wikipedia.
It mainly serves as an introduction to evolution theory for kids. The transfer of verifiable knowledge via educational means is [[WP::NOR]] marginal at the least, and has no room in the article pages of the wikipedia with such an organization.
My becoming a wiki was a small matter of curiousity regarding microfiber, where I am as yet to become even a wee bit more than totally clueless. The page titled Microfiber Production Process is not yet in exsistence, though I wish it to be. At this stage, I wouldn't dare putting up a page with zero content with the hope it will fill up on its own.
Psychology[edit]
For the purpose of studying human psychology, on which subject I have much original thought, and some fragments likely already quite detailed in the wikipedia, I have spent years stduying the high order extant animals of Nature, Darwin's Evolution Theory with extreme scrutiny and dedication, and Some Freud and The Anatomy of the human brain.
I believe most of my contributions to wikipedia, save discussion-like pages such as this one, will be in two areas:
1. ammending and correcting information in Evolution Theory
well known to science and well documented also within
the wikipedia already, but is preceived by most of mankind
in some false manner.
My goal is to make sure no false facts regarding known
scientific facts of nature and evolution,
which cause a false perception of the entire subject,
will pass un-noticed by my inquistive attitude and knowledge,
as I scan the wikipedia in search for more of similar knowledge.
Bee Brain[edit]
2. I see missing internal links as a kind of proofreading errors which I intend to correct. The wiki process must intrinsically create these supposed errors. If page B was created after page A, then A is not likely to have a link to the word B in its text, until such time a reader like me will effect a stitch.
I believe those stiches for the reader act in much the same way the synapses in our brain connect associations and make our memory lookup an instantanous process. While they are much encouraged, there are many missing, and new ones are constantly being created. (when you add page B, you just created a missing link in page A).
This is my bee brain mission. The bees did it. So did all other wikis, I hope. So can I, join in this effort, without the need of posessing any meaningful knowledge.
Just buzz around, and when you see a small piece of wax in the wrong place, just pick it up. Next when you see wax missing somewhere, drop it. Start over.
It is an algorithm superb in its simplicity, and extremly powerful. How does the three bit brain of a bee know morals enough to tell between right and wrong places of wax in the hive? (This is a separate discussion that started with The Origin of Species and the other Bible, and will not end with the Wikipedia.)
It is also of Godly importance not to side track the reader with references that are associative rather than elaborative, or have their own agenda. (More examples below).

Bee Brain Works[edit]
I am still having some problems with being otherwise original. From the perspective of my knowledge, wikipedia seems complete most of the time, but every once in a while google helps, and the pages are:
- Crusty The Clown is a common cake crust induced typo probably designed by the makers.
- Antibiosis.
- The Grateful Dead were called the Grateful Dead in one reference that I changed already.
- After all, how would you kNOw
- Who Are You and who's Next
- if your own name is not whole.
- It is not a matter of Philosophy,
- just Music.

Microfiber[edit]
Philosophy aside, the actual event of joining the wikipedia was the lack of finding anything meaningful regarding Microfiber production processes. So far I opened up a title on the talk page with some questions. I would like to create a title for this on the Microfiber page and fill it with content with some help. By the time I gain the knowledge, it will not be lost again. The simplest classic argument for becoming a wiki, a Guide traveller, or a Harry Seldon mathematician.
Philosophy back from the cold, if I ever know about microfiber as much as I wanted to know and the content is on a wikipedia page, I will consider this project already a success, having made this single contribution.

My Wiki Mission Statement[edit]
As a new wiki slave, all you slaves are my bosses, and please be as bold as you are expected to be as a wiki, in commanding me to do my job.

My Wiki History[edit]
When Wiki first came out, I immediately upon discovery placed a new article there. I have no clue what I wrote, and it was probably some single liner like F = mA or E = mc² or some silly false original thought. It had to be done. I read Asimov's Foundation trilogy for the first time in a Hebrew translation when I was fifteen, during the course of which I already swapped to the Enlish source, and have been re-reading it since, cover to cover, roghly twice a decade. If the Wikpedia is ever to become anything remotely like the Encyclopedia Galactica, my emotions can not let me not be a part of this mission to Terminus. Today, a quick look at budget pages shows clearly that the Wikipedia is far more advanced than the Galactica, albeit it is also real, which makes this case just a wee bit stronger.
Of course at the time this would be beyond wildest dreams, and I ignored the Wikipedia for many years to come, watching its progress through time and human skull space. Over time with much experience surfing, I hardly ever leave the Google server for reasearch purposes. Pressing the Cached link always gives instantaneous results from a google server far more reliable than the source server, while the ad content and other heavy weight junk is automatically filtered to a reasonable degree. Once the Wikipedia had gained some momentum, which I was separately following for interest in the progress of Wikipedia as a minor curiousity at the time, I grew to trust its knowledge as a much more reliable and time saving tool to do about the same, and with time, a lot more of about the same, and my time at google started dropping, as my time at wikipedia started rising. None of this was guided by concious thought: Surf to search some tiny detail about whatever, the quickest way possible, and go on with whatever it is you did for which you needed the information.
I am an open sourcenik, and sharing my knowledge is not new at all. It took some confidence building to decide I can contribute in fields not my main area of expertise by profession.
But I get so much from it, that my scruples wouldn't let me not at least try and give something in return.
Early June 2007, I decided to answer three questions I saw on some pages to see what happens. I discovered two very interesting facts:
1. The folder where I kept the three Captura snapshots of my comments so I can get back to see the talk backs can not possibly be the way everyone else does it, or no one would ever in his right mind write for the Wikipedia.
2. The wikipedia community is very warm and inviting, despite the immense hardships of having to maintain jpegs of everything you wrote just so that you can keep track, and it is almost worth the effort, just for that.
3. I did also receive some honest and bold echo dups saying: will you create an account already! They were all extremly over polite. The echos are just in my head, because I have been listening to way too much music over the years. Who knows? I might still even make a evolution theory based non-original thought contributions to the knowledge of mankind regarding the average length of beetle hair in 1961, the year I was born.
The Foundation expedition is working great. I am seeking more knowledge more vigourously. A scientist at work. Most of the knowledge of have been searching to find during the first two weeks revolved around one question: Do I really want to be an active Wiki?
It came up so quickly I didn't see this one coming. Before you know it, my questions always came back with some WP:COI or WP:VANDAL related answer.
42[edit]
So I took back to my art and chemistry and started scanning the WIKI documentation in search for the correct question and it was 2.
It is on the planet.
I may not find it, but somebody would, and I am on my way to Terminus.
Translation: take 1[edit]
If you think you might be a second foundationer and don't know it yet, take the red pill.
You are not alone.
Let us start looking for the others.

Translation: take 2[edit]
If you thought this makes you a magician of some sort, you had better brush up on your reading.

Oh, and...[edit]
Don't forget to tell me what you know about Microfiber Production Processes.
