My username is Job L. I find Wikipedia profoundly interesting as a more democratic form of organizing information and constructing knowledge than more traditional encyclopedias. I am also committed to keeping Wikipedia accurate and up to date, notwithstanding the various (and sometimes ill-informed) critiques of Wikipedia.
