This is a rough, self-administered list of [[Wikipedians]] in order of arrival. The list exists only to satisfy general Wikipedian interest. This list is not intended to create some sort of hierarchy. In other words, we Wikipedians abhor the idea that the amount of time spent working on this website is any sort of indication of how well one can write an encyclopedia article. Indeed, we distinguish ourselves by our ability to write good articles, which is what ''really'' matters. We ought to do our best to underemphasize seniority, which can be used, often illegitimately, as a way of deciding who to accord how much respect. Of course, sometimes how long someone has been here ''does'' bear on, for example, how well they understand Wikipedia policy and why Wikipedia works as it does. But it ''doesn't'' bear on much else.


A '''[[paradox]]''' is an apparently true statement that seems to lead to a [[Logic|logical]] self-contradiction, or to a situation that contradicts common intuition. The identification of a paradox based on seemingly simple and reasonable concepts has often led to significant advances in [[science]], [[philosophy]] and [[mathematics]]. In [[moral philosophy]], paradox plays a particularly central role in debates on [[ethics]], particularly in the form of [[ethical dilemma]]s. Common themes in paradoxes include direct and indirect self-reference, infinity, circular definitions, and confusion of levels of reasoning.
See [[Wikipedia:Missing Wikipedians]] for those who left wikipedia.

*[[User:Chrisjj|Chris Jefferies]] -- I started editing Wikipedia on 4th, as soon as I found it. The article on my home town ([[St Neots]], [[England]]) seemed a bit lacking so I began adding to it. One thing led to another (mostly the links :-) so they had to be added or fixed. It's brilliant - I love it!
*[[User:Gjking|Gjking]] -- I've been using it for a couple of months now... what a fantastic resource. So I decided to try to start contributing, assuming grad school leaves me some free time.

*[[User:Pingveno|Pingveno]] -- found Wikipedia while looking through some bookmarks that came with [[Mandrake Linux]].

*[[User:Thoth|Thoth]]--Ah, what the internet was meant for! A free communication and archival of knowledge, instead of a bloated pornography dispenser (not that there's anything wrong with that). Anyway, I found it enjoyable occaisionally making a real article and maintaining or reworking the various articles that aren't quite done. I try to put in stub work wherever it's needed when I'm short on time.
*[[User:Ark30inf|Ark30inf]] - came and looked for some Arkansas information and didn't find much. So I decided to add some. While doing some of this noticed that some Civil War stuff needs work. While doing this noticed that.......oh well looks like I will be here awhile.
*[[User:Jnc|Noel]] - even this close to the event, it took me a while to remember what brought me here (it was the Wired story, but I don't recall how I ran across *that*) - I seem to have been totally sucked into the WikiVerse; definitely love at first sight

*[[USer:Lord Emsworth|Lord Emsworth]]
*[[User:Darac|Darc Marjal]] - Started with [[Manchester International Airport]] after a trip there and immediately got hooked. What better place to put down all that (otherwise) useless trivia in my brain?
*[[User:VeryVerily|VeryVerily]] ([[User:VeryVerily|V]][[User talk:VeryVerily|V]] for short) - Had bumped into Wikipedia a few times while [[websurfing]], decided at this point to get involved.

Boyle's self-flowing flask is an impossible perpetual motion machine.
Boyle's self-flowing flask is an impossible perpetual motion machine.

A paradox is an apparently true statement that seems to lead to a logical self-contradiction, or to a situation that contradicts common intuition. The identification of a paradox based on seemingly simple and reasonable concepts has often led to significant advances in science, philosophy and mathematics. In moral philosophy, paradox plays a particularly central role in debates on ethics, particularly in the form of ethical dilemmas. Common themes in paradoxes include direct and indirect self-reference, infinity, circular definitions, and confusion of levels of reasoning.
