'''I have a university degree in philosophy and I have been particularly interested, and have had some university education, in theology and religious studies, especially pertaining to East Asian religions and European esotericism and new religious movements. I am also interested in demographics of religious and non-religious populations.''' '''I do not edit or otherwise contribute to any Wikimedia article or project on behalf of any employer, client, or affiliated person, organisation, or other entity; nor do I receive or solicit any compensation for any edits or other contributions. Given that I mostly contribute to articles on religion and philosophy, I think it is also worthwhile to clarify that I do not consider my contributions bent by or to any particular religious or political convictions; I do not identify with any specific religious or political systems, and I do not consider myself an atheist either.''' '''I think that Wikipedia is a wonderful project, which, however, has many weaknesses: It tends to entropy, as it is taken by many non-scrupulous contributors as a repository of anything one may find in the Internet, thus not as an encyclopedia but as a sort of "sandbox game"; well-written articles are rare, and most articles are instead filled with poorly written content, either without sources or sourced with chaotic webs of links which ultimately do not support the content itself; articles are constantly vandalised, and vandalism often remains unchecked. The Wikimedia organisation seems to be more concerned with changing the interface for improving "users' experience" than with establishing better methods aimed at improving the quality of the encyclopedic contents.'''
