Who am I?[edit]
I am just a Canadian male with a reasonable amount of education and common sense that I like to apply to a wide variety of subjects. I speak English and French but have basic knowledge of several other languages and a general interest in cultures of all sorts.

Wikipedia[edit]
Wikipedia is great in that it has some place for reasonable discussion to provide accurate and comprehensive information to the general public. Without being too much of a cynical sceptic, I feel that publishing houses are as vulnerable as the general public to pushing unsubstantiated ideas based on popular rumour or even outright propaganda. This said, I feel there is a great deal of inaccuracy in numerous Wikipedia articles. I hope to contribute to a bettering of articles for which I have significant personal knowledge.
What I dislike on Wikipedia[edit]
-Abundance of double standards to reflect the views of majorities to the detriment of minorities.
-Acceptance of questionable information based on references that do not substantiate the position.
-Labeling of the challenge of accepted information as the demonstration of a personal agenda.
-Inability of many contributors to accept that it is a contribution to truth to sometimes state that we simply do not know.
