I'm one of the many million people editing here, and I want Wikipedia to be as complete, accurate, and trustworthy as possible. I hope many more will join the project, becomeWikipedians, and have fun contributing.

I started editing here in November 2004, and Ibecame anadministrator in April 2005. I live inOslo,Norway and have aMaster's degree intheoretical physics. I am not as active on Wikipedia as I used to be, but I drop by now and then to make occasional edits.

I detest many of the dominating boxes and tags being placed in various articles for self centered reasons and wrotea rant about it (The examples are now out of date in many respects).

I wish we could keep articles as clean as possible, follow thestyle manual, and stop starting articles with big distracting boxes with either trivial information or messages meant for editors.

Wikipedians don't get money for their work, but sometimes they get aBarnstar. I've received 5 myself. Thanks!

		What a Brilliant Idea Barnstar
		For articulating an idea that others had either never brought to the fore or had not even begun to formulate—the problem of thePlague of Tags—and for the impact that this idea has had on this Project. No, the battle is not won, and may never be, but because of yourtruly great rant, we know for what we struggle.Unschool (talk) 07:19, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts. --Bertrand Russell
