Hi, I graduated from high school when I was 17, took too many classes my freshman year of college, and got my Bachelor’s degree in Biology when I was 24. For the most part, I got C’s and B’s.
When I entered the world of work, I found the work day too long and competitive so I went on public assistance, and I oppose workfare for the same reason.
What I don’t like about wikis:
- other people are allowed to edit my articles
- some have scorned me rather than helped me
- the “donation requests” I find as offensive as the same in church, since they are addressed to me as well as to the wealthy
- some wikis editors don’t consider me a reliable source of information, even though I am
- most of the articles I could write have already been written
- finished articles are not locked, and have too many edits
- lists of authors include those who did not actually write the article.
I’ve found the most successful way to reduce the disruption of my articles, is to write them off line and then donate them. Donating an article does not hurt me financially because of the low amount I would be paid freelance. In my opinion a professional writer would need to be on a salary independent of output.
Good luck Citizendium!

Directions read
I’ve read the following of the many, many directions, and can not nitpick. What I read may affect my subconscious, and in that way I will follow them well. I got passing grades in college English courses. Like many others, I got a Bachelor’s in Biology in 1983, and am not an expert. I still have some of my textbooks, however.
