Hi, I'm here because I'm very interested in the goals of Citizendium - especially the part about a reliable and high-quality online encyclopaedia - so I'm going to try and do some stuff here, as time allows.
I actually wrote the very first Citizendium article, in October, 2006: Hokusai!
I'm a long-time Wikipedian (started there in August, 2003), but I became dissatisfied with various negative aspects of Wikipedia (as so many other Wikipedians have done - I think of the group of dissatisfied Wikipedians as 'Citizendium's recruiting pool' :-).
My Wikipedia home page gives an indication of the kind of things that I am interested in and write about. For more about me, look at my home page here:
