I am an independent thinker from New Jersey. I read extensively. I'm a handyman.
I am a handyman from [[New Jersey (U.S. state)|New Jersey]]. I have built walls, fixed drawers, repaired leaks in roofs, removed patios, repaired a garage door, built tables and beds and furniture, fixed the [[feedback]] mechanism for a furnace, built a mailbox, rebuilt my front porch, removed and replaced moldings, painted shelves and walls and floors, built containers for plants, and stuff like that. Please feel free to comment on my user talk page. My hobbies include writing, reading, thinking, learning, guitar. I can be reached at thomaswrightsulcer (at) yahoo (dot) com.
 
 
 
===Interests===
[[Image:Fall 01.gif|thumb|right|alt=Animation of a waterfall.|One of these days I'm going to learn how to make a cool waterfall animation better than this one.]]
My interests: [[philosophy]], gender relations, [[politics]], [[history]], [[medicine]], [[terrorism]]. I used to be a market researcher so I'm good with numbers. When I was in my late twenties and early thirties, I read philosophy extensively and tried to figure out what life was all about, but even at this time in my life, I realize that I still don't know. My favorite philosopher is Spinoza. I want to write articles that people enjoy reading. I love great pictures and animations in articles. I write simply, clearly, sometimes with too many stop-and-start sentences.


===Sandboxes===
===Sandboxes===
My sandbox page: [[User talk:Thomas Wright Sulcer/sandbox]] currently "terrorism prevention strategies". Current plan: chop this up and use as material in other articles as per Howard Berkowitz, and assist with researching if asked. Urging HB to make this a real article.
* [[User talk:Thomas Wright Sulcer/sandbox|Sandbox]] currently "terrorism prevention strategies".
 
* [[User talk:Thomas Wright Sulcer/sandbox2|Sandbox2]] lemmas
Another sandbox: [[User talk:Thomas Wright Sulcer/sandbox2]] currently "History of U.S. citizenship" (which I wrote on WP) awaiting word from [[User:Martin Baldwin-Edwards]] about how to proceed; Howard Berkowitz has suggestions as well. My status: made it into a real article. Did ancillary articles, but will keep doing more.
* [[User talk:Thomas Wright Sulcer/sandbox4|Sandbox3]] currently "Criticism of US foreign policy"  
 
* [[User talk:Thomas Wright Sulcer/sandbox5|Sandbox5]] empty
Another sandbox: [[User talk:Thomas Wright Sulcer/sandbox4]] currently "Criticism of United States foreign policy" awaiting feedback from politics editors. General take: perhaps belongs in an article such as "Foreign policy of the United States". Paragraph format preferred to bullet point format. Status: waiting.
* [[User talk:Thomas Wright Sulcer/sandbox7|Sandbox7]] possibilities for [[Panton Principles]]
 
* [[User talk:Thomas Wright Sulcer/sandbox9|Sandbox9]] open
Another sandbox: [[User talk:Thomas Wright Sulcer/sandbox5]] currently "Famous tennis players" but it's way too long; importing from WP. Status: wait and see, perhaps HP may want to do something with it. Will leave there for now.
* [[User talk:Thomas Wright Sulcer/sandbox11|Sandbox11]] thickets
 
* [[CZ:PageRank analysis of Citizendium articles|PageRank analysis]]
Another sandbox: [[User talk:Thomas Wright Sulcer/sandbox7]] currently possibilities for [[Panton Principles]].
 
Another sandbox: [[User talk:Thomas Wright Sulcer/sandbox9]] currently my way to keep track of articles needing my attention and status such as improving WP imports.
 
Another sandbox: [[User talk:Thomas Wright Sulcer/sandbox11]] currently a wikitable experiment. It suggests [[SEO]] factors -- PageRank and "what links here" are highly correlated. It suggests a way to boost the web presence of any Citizendium article is to have a thicket of interlinking articles on a subject -- not just a lone article. This will increase an article's "PageRank" -- a Google metric which predicts an article's relevancy and which is a big (but not the only) factor on where an article appears on the [[SERP]] page. Moved this to a CZ article.
 
 
 
===Article thickets===
'''Aeneid thicket'''
These are major articles:
* [[Aeneid]]
* [[Dactylic hexameter]]
* [[Journey of Aeneas]]
* [[Virgil]]
 
But they're backed up with numerous supporting or "thicket" articles which are not as extensive, (but sometimes rather detailed) but highly interlinked to the major articles and to each other: [[Maecenas]] - [[Dictator]] - [[Strophades Islands]] - [[Tsunami]] - [[Western civilization]] - [[Italy]] - [[Emperor]] - [[Sthelenus]] - [[The Teaching Company]] - [[Amata]] - [[Turnus]] - [[King Latinus]] - [[Juno]] - [[Princeps]] - [[Anchises]] - [[Fate]] - [[Helen of Troy]] - [[Venus (goddess)]] - [[Troy]] - [[Spondee]] - [[Iliad]] - [[Odyssey]] - [[Elizabeth Vandiver]] - [[Iarbas]] - [[Dido]] - [[Elissa]] - [[Cupid]] - [[Creusa]] - [[Penates]] - [[Poetry]] - [[Nisus]] - [[Bucolic diaeresis‎]] - [[Caesura]] - [[Dactyl]] - [[Contraction (poetry)]] - [[Elision]] - [[Diphthong]] - [[Meter (poetry)]] - [[Epic]] - [[Latin (language)]] - [[Hexameter (poetry)]] - [[Walter Burkert]] -- [[Aeschylus]] -- [[Joseph Campbell]] -- [[Euhemerus]] -- [[Euripides]] -- [[Achilles]] -- [[Actaeon]] -- [[Adonis]] -- [[Aerope]] -- [[Agamemnon]] -- [[Aigeus]] -- [[Aigisthos]] -- [[Aithra]] -- [[Alcestis]] -- [[Alcmene]] -- [[Amazons]] -- [[Amphitryon]] -- [[Antiope]] -- [[Hoppolyta]] -- [[Anush]] -- [[Apsyrtos]] -- [[Argo]] -- [[Argonauts]] -- [[Ariadne]] -- [[Artemis]] -- [[Atlas]] -- [[Atreus]] -- [[Augean Stables]] -- [[Calchas]] -- [[Cassandra]] -- [[Centaur]] -- [[Cerberos]] -- [[Ceres]] -- [[Demeter]] -- [[Cerynian Hind]] -- [[Chaos]] -- [[Clytemnestra]] -- [[Clytaimestra]] -- [[Cronos]] -- [[Cretan Bull]] -- [[Cupid]] -- [[Eros]] -- [[Cybele]] -- [[Daidalos]] -- [[Daphne]] -- [[Deianeira]] -- [[Demeter]] -- [[Demophoon]] -- [[Metaneira]] -- [[Deucalion]] -- [[Diana]] -- [[Diomedes]] -- [[Dionysos]] -- [[Bacchus]] -- [[Echidna]] -- [[Electra]] -- [[Epimetheus]] -- [[Erebos]] -- [[Eris]] -- [[Erymanthian Boar]] -- [[Eumenides]] -- [[Eurydice]] -- [[Eurystheus]] -- [[Furies]] -- [[Gaia]] -- [[Theogony]] -- [[Geryon]] -- [[Gilgamesh]] -- [[Gorgons]] -- [[Hades]] -- [[Hebe]] -- [[Hecabe]] -- [[Hector]] -- [[Helios]] -- [[Hephaistos]] -- [[Hera]] -- [[Hermes]] -- [[Hesperides]] -- [[Hestia]] -- [[Hippodameia]] -- [[Hippolyta]] -- [[Hippolytos]] -- [[Hydra]] -- [[Lernaian Hydra]] -- [[Iapetos]] -- [[Iolaos]] -- [[Iphicles]] -- [[Iphigeneia]] -- [[Jason]] -- [[Jocasta]] -- [[Kumarbi]] -- [[Laios]] -- [[Leda]] -- [[Lernaian Hydra]] -- [[Leto]] -- [[Maenads]] -- [[Mars]] -- [[Medea]] -- [[Medusa (mythology)]] - [[Megara]] - [[Metis]] - [[Menelaos]] - [[Metaneira]] - [[Minerva]] - [[Minos]] - [[Minotaur]] - [[Myrtilos]] - [[Narcissus]] - [[Lemean Lion]] - [[Nessos]] - [[Niobe]] - [[Oceanos]] - [[Oedipus]] - [[Olympians]] - [[Orestes]] - [[Orpheus]] - [[Ouranos]] - [[Pandora]] - [[Paris]] - [[Pasiphae]] - [[Peleus]] - [[Pelops]] - [[Pentheus]] - [[Persephone]] - [[Phaethon]] - [[Phaidra]] - [[Phoebus]] - [[Pirithous]] - [[Polyxena]] - [[Pontos]] - [[Poseidon]] - [[Priam]] - [[Procrustes]] - [[Prometheus]] - [[Pyramus]] - [[Pyrrha]] - [[Remus]] - [[Rheia]] - [[Romulus]] - [[Satyrs]] - [[Scylla]] - [[Semele]] - [[Sinis]] - [[Sisyphos]] - [[Sphinx]] - [[Tantalos]] - [[Tartaros]] - Lemmas of Greek warriors inside the famous [[Trojan horse]] -- here they go:  [[Acamas]] - [[Agapenor]] - [[Ajax the Lesser]] - [[Amphimachus]] - [[Antiklos]] - [[Antiphates]] - [[Cyanippus]] - [[Demophon]] - [[Echion]] - [[Epeius]] - [[Eumelus]] - [[Euryalus]] - [[Eurydamas]] - [[Eurymachus]] - [[Eurypylus]] - [[Ialmenus]] - [[Idomeneus]] - [[Iphidamas]] - [[Leonteus]] - [[Machaon]] - [[Meges]] - [[Menestheus]] - [[Meriones]] - [[Neoptolemus]] - [[Peneleus]] - [[Philoctetes]] - [[Podalirius]] - [[Polypoetes]] - [[Teucer]] - [[Thalpius]] - [[Thersander]] - [[Thoas]] - somewhere around here back to the usual Greek types [[Thrasymedes]] -- [[Teiresias]] - [[Teshub]] - [[Theseus]] - [[Themis]] - [[Thetis]] - [[Thisbe]] - [[Thyestes]] - [[Titans]] - [[Tithonos]] - [[Tityos]] - [[Tyndareus]] - [[Medusa (mythology)]] -- [[Hecuba]]  -- [[parent]] --

'''Philosophy of Spinoza thicket'''
These are major articles:
* [[Philosophy of Spinoza]]
 
'''Citizenship thicket'''
These are the major articles:
* [[History of U.S. citizenship]]
* [[Citizenship]]
* [[U.S. citizenship]]
 
Supporting thicket: [[The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere‎]] - [[Public sphere]] - [[Benjamin Ginsberg]] - [[Dana D. Nelson]] - [[Citizenship]] -
 
'''Love thicket'''
The major articles are:
* [[Love]]
* [[Romantic love]]
* [[Platonic love]]
 
Supporting articles include: [[Bromance]] -
 
'''Other subjects'''
 
I'm interested in diverse topics. I'll take requests from time to time but mostly I'm working on my thickets (above). Here is other stuff I've written or contributed to (sometimes substantially) if the subject catches my interest, or if I'm asked:
 
[[Nitrogen cycle]] - [[Plane (geometry)]] - [[Skive]] - [[Script kiddie]] - [[Quiz show]] - [[Jamie Cullum]] - [[Elin Nordegren]] - [[Intron]] - [[HDMI]] - [[Cat adoption]] - [[Brittany Murphy]] - [[Scrubs (TV show)]] - [[Bromance]] - [[Content Management System]] - [[Nibiru]] - [[Search engine optimization]] - [[The Burr in the Garden of Eden]] - [[Brain morphometry]] - [[Sanford Levinson]] - [[CZ:PageRank analysis of Citizendium articles]] - [[SERP]] - [[Panton Arms]] - [[Panton Principles]] - [[Dana Delany]] - [[Air]] - [[DVD]] - [[Julian Hatton]] - [[Handyman]] - [[Georgina Starr]] - [[The Fame]] - [[Lady Gaga]] - [[Acai berry]] - [[James M. Bennett]] - [[Naruto]] - [[FairTax]] - [[2012]]. [[Vicki Genfan]] - [[Four color theorem]] -
 
===Progress on specific articles===
 
Note: see [[User talk:Thomas Wright Sulcer/sandbox9|Tom's wikitable of articles in progress.]]
 
Ported "Handyman" from WP which I revamped. Added some new material. Wondering what else to do here. [[Handyman]] Also working on [[Philosophy of Spinoza]]. Curley's Spinoza translation arrived; hope to update this article in the next week or so. Wrote [[Julian Hatton]] -- abstract landscape artist. Created this article on WP, ported. Ported [[Dana Delany]] -- actor; I wrote much of the text on WP. Ported [[Georgina Starr]] -- artist from G.Britain; I revamped this article substantially a month or so ago on WP. Ported [[Lady Gaga]] -- hot topic; 12th most popular article on WP in Dec 2009 with 90K views PER DAY, but added new material and rewrote it somewhat to improve it. Wrote [[The Fame]] -- hot first album by Lady Gaga. Added new information (some references from WP) but mostly rewritten. Shorter than the WP version but with less extraneous stuff. I have no clue how to make the "Related Articles" or "Metadata" stuff work. Or, maybe I should add "Lady Gaga" to the related articles page of "The Fame" as a parent? Ported [[Script kiddie]], rewrote it, added new references and tried to spruce it up. It's the 11th most popular article on WP in Dec 2009 with 100,000 views per day. Ported [[Search engine optimization]] from WP, rewrote it, kept references, added new pictures. This gets 6000 hits PER DAY on WP, and is also a list of "keywords driving traffic"; hopefully it will boost traffic here to CZ. There are a slew of related articles which can be added too. Also added [[SERP]]. Ported and rewrote [[Acai berry]]. Ported [[James M. Bennett]] from WP (which I wrote) and porting [[FairTax]] which I support (but will strive for neutrality) which gets 500 readers PER DAY -- not too shabby. Wrote [[Naruto]] which is a hot pop culture Japanese anime phenomenon, often gets 16K readers per day on WP, hopefully more here on CZ. Rewrote & ported [[Digital versatile disk]] better known as [[DVD]]s. Same logic. Wrote [[Quiz show]] so [[What is the]] can redirect to it. Wrote [[Skive]] and [[Elin Nordegren]] and [[Jamie Cullum]] (new material) and [[Sanford Levinson]] (I wrote originally the Levinson article on WP.) Wrote [[HDMI]] mostly fresh material (borrowed some WP sections but trimmed & rewrote). Wrote [[Cat adoption]] from scratch -- couldn't resist the pun. Ported, rewrote LEDE, added new info on [[Brittany Murphy]] -- sometimes traffic spikes to 50K viewers per day. Wrote [[Romantic love]] mostly new, with some pilfering of you know where. Wrote [[Scrubs (TV show)]]. Wrote [[Bromance]] as part of the [[Love]] group stuff. Redid the [[Love]] article so now there are three related articles -- love, romantic love, and bromance. Wrote [[2012]], pop culture bunk like Y2K. Writing [[Nibiru]] (fictional planet forecast to bump into Earth in 2012, possibly causing skateboarders worldwide to lose their footing for an instant.
 
New articles done: [[Public sphere]] and [[The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere]] and [[History of U.S. citizenship]] and [[CZ:PageRank analysis of Citizendium articles]] and [[Benjamin Ginsberg]]. Revamped [[nitrogen cycle]] and added a section on [[air]] about the nitrogen cycle. Also ideas for revamping [[Panton Principles]] and [[Panton Arms]]. [[Four color theorem]].
 
===Possible future articles that drive traffic===
 
Note: see [[User talk:Thomas Wright Sulcer/sandbox9|Tom's wikitable of articles in progress.]] This has a sortable list of articles with information on WP traffic statistics, opportunities, possible future projects, and whether they need my attention or not.
 
===My biases===
... which I'll try to keep OUT of Citizendium. Politically I'm non-partisan but see a need for serious peaceful political reform of the US government; there's a part of me which is libertarian, but there are socialist parts too. My view on American politics is that it's broken, dysfunctional, corrupt. I think a parliamentary approach (eg Britain's) is superior to a constitutional approach (US model). I believe citizenship is important and requires active participation by people in local government, but I don't think most Americans are "citizens" by any stretch since they're loathe to participate in politics. There are reasons why this is so. I believe in states' rights. I continue to advocate for a Second Constitutional Convention as a way to repair America. I have criticized America's strategy to prevent terrorism repeatedly. I see terrorism as "violence against individual rights" with three inter-related components: crime (terrorism by a neighbor), tyranny (by our own government) and foreign terrorism (by powerful foreign individuals, groups, or governments). My book tries to show how these types cause each other, and how one type of terrorist can morph into another (my ultimate terrorist = Hitler). And the common way to prevent all three types is with "light"; for example, to prevent crime, citizens must agree to end all anonymous movement in public but that tight privacy fences be put around this information. This permits authorities to prevent terrorism while preserving privacy. This is only one part of my rather difficult strategy which, I claim, can prevent serious terrorism such as smuggled nuclear bombs. I realize many of my views are extreme, and I'm well aware that most people don't even like to THINK about such topics, and there is a practical, cynical side to me which realizes that changes along the lines I propose will never happen. What's cool is this: the name "Citizen-dium" -- I see participation here as a form of citizenship. And I'm a big fan of exposed movement in public -- again, consistent with Citizendium's policies of using REAL NAMES. But here on Citizendium I'll try to keep my biases out of my contributions, and participate in a mainstream way.
 
====My experience with Wikipedia====
I was an active Wikipedian for perhaps eight months editing under the user handle "Tomwsulcer", and I wrote many articles along Wikipedia's lines of neutrality, verifiability, and no original research. I added perhaps about 50 articles, either started from scratch, or revamped substantially. But I have major problems with Wikipedia. Biggest problem = anonymity; it permits anonymous bullies (particularly administrators) to push around contributors, and contributes to incivility, bullying, rudeness, vandalism, sock puppetry (users pretending to be other users). Wikipedia, in my view, has many pluses which I hope Citizendium has retained, such as Wikipedia's code, internal linking, pictures, most of its policies. I wrote often on a page called "Wikipedia:Areas for Reform" with many ideas for improvements which I think may possibly apply to Citizendium too, but I'm waiting to learn more how this site works before offering them. For example, a great under-used feature Wikipedia has is its measures of article readership. I think readership statistics should play a bigger role in determining what we focus on here in Citizendium (since our contributions will most likely be more neutral). Even better would be feedback from readers along the lines of Amazon's question "Was this review helpful", so we can get some kind of reader rating of article quality. What I see happening with Wikipedia, at present, is a battle within the elite of core administrators who actively participate for power; it's analogous to the infighting which happened within the leadership of the Soviet Union during its early days (1917+). In January 2010, I quit Wikipedia.
