Revision as of 23:16, 1 November 2004

Hello all. I am new to Misplaced Pages. I think I need to introduce myself after being here for some time, even though I do not have much to say yet. I was born and mostly raised in Hong Kong. My early childhood was spent in Japan. Then I was immigrated to the United States of America and live in the greater Los Angeles area. I am a computer professional.

I have been using my real name "Felix Wan" on the Internet for some time. If you do a google search using my name in quotes and find an article about linguistics and languages, especially conlangs, or Chinese culture, or Japanese Animation, or Christianity, it is probably really done by me. So far the hit ratio of finding me by google is quite high, much higher than my friends.


Things to do

Meanwhile, I am trying to get familiar with this place, making mostly minor touch-ups, filling in gaps with pieces of knowledge that I have some confidence in their accuracy. The following areas are something I am planning to do:

  1. Expand on elements of Chinese music, starting from the numbered musical notation or jianpu.
  2. Cantonese romanization needs clean up and addition of more popular and more official systems.
  3. Sino-Japanese can use some linguistic information.

I am a participant of Misplaced Pages:China-related topics notice board.


Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Diagram illustrating systemic bias

Having been here for some time, I agree that Misplaced Pages has a systemic bias caused by the demographic of the editors. I support the effort to increase coverage on topics that are important to mankind and extensively covered in other encyclopedias but missing or poorly covered here.

However, at the same time, we should not discourage coverage on topics that outside the "ideal". That is what makes Misplaced Pages unique. So far it is the best place to find information about topics of geek interest.

So I will try to help developing articles in the red area of the diagram, but I do not see any problem with the coverage of Ent or other fictional elements as long as they fall into the right places.
