Wikipedians questionnaire.

When did you become aware of Misplaced Pages? Probably a week or so before 2002-12-20.

When did you become involved in Misplaced Pages? My first logged edit was on 2002-12-20; before that I may have done some editing without an account.

Why did you become involved in Misplaced Pages? The anarchism of wiki and the audacity of creating an encyclopedia appealed.

Have you participated in another collaborative online community and, if so, how is it different? I use to work on a few categories at the Open Directory Project.

How do you rate Misplaced Pages as a collaborative project, as compared to, say, slashdot or everything2? I've had an account at Slashdot since at least 2000, and its lack of "memory" bothered me — with arguments and questions repeated and very little constructive coming from it; k5's edit queue was better. I contributed some material to the original h2g2; and I created an e2 account, but never contributed anything there — Misplaced Pages is what I was looking for all along.

Comment on the nature of your involvement in Misplaced Pages, ie. is it mostly editing, monitoring, discussing, researching?? Mostly copy-editing. I also closely monitor the 197 articles on my English pedia watchlist. Several edits in the Talk namespace was listing sources, and I participate in meta discussions.
