I've used it, but tonight I was browsing, adding bits here and there to my favorite subjects. It's just so much fun!

Anyone else a contributor?

Yes, I added to Aes Sedai the other day (so far my one and only contribution.. but still..)

Actually, I added like three paragraphs to the one entry and proofread the existing entry.

Evowiki is excellent too, might even be a good contender to to.org soon.

Everything2.com is also quite good.

I did quite a few updates on the SW pages and the Wing Commander ones w/ Iceberg, but the latter had some fights between various groups.

I recently revised the estimate for Star Destroyer firepower upward from 30 megatons to at least 200 gigatons, and I might add some stuff about the Venetian-Genoese wars of the 14th century.

I love spending a boring evening there. Five hours past and the only thing you can think about is how little you knew about 18th century artillery designs.

Or how little you knew of Trench Warfare in the American Civil War...

Or the Anglo-Dutch Naval Wars.

Eh, I wouldn't really call it a "fight"; you're inevitably going to have disagreements when you have a subject as prickly as canon, particularly on something like Wikipedia where anyone can edit anything.

Anyway, besides the Wing Commander and some Sam & Max and Digital Anvil stuff, I'm particularly proud of the article on King Kamehameha of Hawaii, which I helped expand.

I add/correct stuff on Wiki from time to time. Mostly just when I see something I can add to or correct, nothing too major yet.

Though I am rather embarassed that I fucked up on the math for my entry on the calander year in Dune, which another user was so helpful to correct... :oops:

You people make me scared, and I thought I was bored enough to read every single entery about the American Civil war....

Whenever I think i'm the best at something, comes a SD.NETer who proves me wrong.

Well, I think the WoT fanboyism comes to a dead halt between myself and Queeb Salaron.. It's actually quite funny. And gods, the WoT entries need major revision...

You know, I never realised you can edit the articles, or add to it before.............

Ice and I weren't so much annoyed that the pages were changed -- it was the manner in which it was done
