I am a Ph.D. graduate student. I own over 3,400 comic books, so most of my edits are to comic book pages. Most of my comics were published by Marvel Comics. I watch CSI and Heroes, so I also edit CSI pages and some Heroes pages. I own two leopard geckos named Nocturne and Skippy, and a hamster named Peter.

View on use of Wikipedia

If you check my history of contributions you will see that I primarily edit comic book pages. My other edits are usually television shows or movies. Even for the trivia clean-up project I mostly only fix that type of article. In other words, I primarily edit articles about popular culture. In my opinion that is the only useful type of article on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not allowed as a resource for any college class, and it shouldn't be. Anyone being able to edit Wikipedia allows for it to stay current as far as the popular culture articles go (people can post a whole new article about a TV show episode immediately after it airs for the first time, or people update comic character pages as soon as they have finished reading a new issue), but it also makes articles about serious topics unreliable. There is no single author. And how can you prove that the current edit was proofread by someone who actually knows what they're talking about?

Wikipedia is useful for popular culture (comic books, movies, television, music, etc.). Wikipedia is not useful for research.
