Why I do Misplaced Pages
Misplaced Pages is an excellent example of how knowledge can be socially constructed. The editing and discussion tools constitute a collaborative knowledge building environment that stands as an alternative model to threaded asynchronous conferences, collaborative annotation systems, blogs, and software development systems.
What I do on Misplaced Pages
I'm a participant in Misplaced Pages:Disambiguation. I also seem to be pretty good at negotiating and mediating disputes before they turn into edit wars. In real life I often act as impromptu mediator when two people are arguing, it seems to be a natural talent of mine, or my background in psychology. So now I find myself searching wiki for potential edit wars and so far being that neutral voice of reason.
