About Me
I'm 44 years old and work for the U.S. Government in law enfrocement. I am also in the U.S. Miltary and am an officer.
What I think Misplaced Pages is about
A 2008 United Nations University survey of 130,000 Misplaced Pages users exposes a surprising profile: the average age of a contributor is 26.8 years (10 years younger than the average age of the general population in ‘more developed’ countries), 87% are male, and at least 46% are not university educated. Even with this relatively young age and education profile, 70-90% of contributors self-identify as “experts”.http://blog.wikimedia.org/2009/first-preliminary-results-from-unu-merit-survey-of-wikipedia-readers-and-contributors-available/ Since I try to view the articles as they would be seen by someone NOT a part of this demographic, I try to include information relevant to them. If these non-demographic members are searching for, say, Erin Andrews, why do you think that is? They don't care about her sportscasting "career" or that she once worked for "the Sunshine Network." They want to know what's up with the naked tapes, and the who, what, when, where, why & how of the matter.
We have got to remember - the people who edit Misplaced Pages are NOT the people who use Misplaced Pages. And if we wish to remain relevant and interesting, we must keep the non-user demographic in mind.
