Misplaced Pages Philosophy

WARNING!If you've read this far, you must be really really bored. It's probably past your bedtime. Feel free to read further--however, consider yourself warned.

I think Misplaced Pages ought to (eventually, in a perfect world) be 100% full of articles that a reasonably intelligent person ought to be able to stumble upon, and figure out most of what the article was talking about. I think that eventually, following enough internal links to enough stuff, a user should be able to have a reasonable amount of knowledge about a subject that they knew nothing about in the first place. I think that the encyclopedia doesn't have to have a scholarly tone. I think that random adverbs ought to be, on occasion, thrown into places where a strict encyclopedia might not include them. (I think that this last view doesn't have much backing, and I respect the Wiki community on that regard.) I think that it wouldn't kill anyone to have a joke thrown into a long article. I think that articles should generally have a positive attitude towards a neutral subject (for instance, I think that Americans should decide the tone for an article on the United States Congress, and Brits should decide the tone for the British Parliament). I think that Misplaced Pages should be able to humor its readers as well as educate them. And I think that Nirvana was WAY overrated (Candlebox was much, much better).

Additionally, I often have some serious problems with excessive wikification, and may get very tired of it (the blue links are pretty, though, aren't they?).

Matt's Misplaced Pages Statistics

Interests

They really aren't any of your concern. However, to humor you (see?)... I like music a lot, and I also like watching sports, playing board games, hanging with friends, etc. And, apparantly, editing some large online encyclopedia thing (who knew?).

Special Abilities

Although Matt Yeager is unable to fly, read minds or fire lasers with his eyes, he still can speak English fluently (being born and raised as a 4th or 5th or 6th or something generation American, he'd better be able to!). También, puede hablar un poco de español, porque ha tenido dos años de la clase de español a Kamiakin High. He also is a decent Basic programmer, a competent chess player, an excellent scum player, and a really freaking good hearts player. He also will probably beat you if you play him at Monopoly or online Boggle (--look for matthews028).

In Closing

I apologize for switching between 1st and 3rd person this whole article. Really, I feel just terrible about it. Well, not really.

Regardless, feel free to drop me a line sometime.
