- comics - especially Ultimate Marvel
I started with Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate Spider-Man (story arcs), Ultimate X-Men and Ultimate X-Men (story arcs) in December 2004 as one of several users with the anon handle User:131.246.120.30 (we have the same uni proxy). Then, I wanted to contribute as a "real" Wikipedian. I consider the four articles above a bit as my brainchildren, as I helped growing them from small stubs into the big info sources they are today.
I likes Wikis well enough that I wrote my thesis on this!
My idea of a good Misplaced Pages article
This is the guideline I follow when editing. Note that I do not claim to follow these 100%, as I am only human :)
Concise
Every sentence I write should progress the article.
Encyclopaedic
I try to stay matter-of-fact, logical and neutral, doing my best Mr. Spock impression.
Constructive
Every article should contain a constructive line of thought.
Representative
When going into a controversial topic, let both sides voice their thought.
Balanced
If I criticise, I apply the plus-minus-plus scheme, thus write acclaim, then criticism, then finish with acclaim. Acclaim with no criticism is vanity, and criticism without acclaim is hating. (BTW, I find it funny that in the then HEAVILY anti-Brown The Da Vinci Code article, I pointed this out and was branded as a Dan Brown groupie. :D)
Sourced
Info without source is worthless. IMHO this is the big achilles heel in Misplaced Pages. If you do intangible research, like e.g. explaining why Steve Nash is such a good point guard, then pick some hard data and extrapolate the thing you want to say.
