I have a doctoral degree in computer science but am also interested in improving the quality of articles in areas like analytical philosophy and linguistics.
Apart from the English Wikipedia, I mainly contribute to the German and French language versions.
I am fascinated by Wikipedia because
it opens up new possibilities for the task of compiling a general account of human knowledge, something I have been in fact thinking about since my childhood
it is an example of collaborative work in a world dominated by competition and individualism
