Hello my name is Stewart Matheson. I have been browsing wikipedia since 2005. Just recently I have the making far more contributions than I have ever made before. I would like to eventually become an administrator of wikipedia. In the meantime I'm focusing on making sure that articles are up to the standards dictated by this encyclopaedia. After reading the wikipedia guidelines I started making small edits to pages that I saw had issues. The more I read the more I discovered that so many pages have potential issues. Generally feedback is very positive when you start editing other people's pages. Doing these edits has exposed a side of wikipedia that I had never previously been privy to.

Wikipedia and me

When my friend Dan first told me about wikipedia I was fascinated. I have a genuine thirst for knowledge and enjoy reading. I also have an Internet website design background. From a technical standpoint wikipedia represents a fantastic achievement.I am in awe of the sheer brilliance of the system. Brilliance through simplicity is one of the key factors when creating a successful web site. Wikipedia achieves this in many ways. But I suppose the most significant thing about wikipedia is being able to edit any of its content. There is nothing more satisfying than putting comments on a page and having users respond to these comments. It is a vast sprawling online community and from here on in it can only get better.

Administration Desires

One day I hope to become an administrator of wikipedia. It's something to work too but now I am happy just editing articles and helping out where I can. for the most part I am in a focus on articles that I note the most about. These fall in the category of cricket, computers and Web design. I have also contributed to a few articles that relate to local landmarks and institutions in my area. Generally though, I am not fussy I will edit any page that I see in an attempt to make it better. This is not thought I have always had however after reading the five pillars of wikipedia I realise that this is the site's goal, this is why it exists.
