\'pər-pəs\
My purpose on Wikipedia is to help create articles of the best possible quality, informative, interesting, and free of bias. Further, I will lend what analysis I can to community discussion and will try to improve Wikipedia's overall design, look, and feel. Fault me if you ever see me doing otherwise.

\'short\
I like to think of myself as a dynamic individual who constantly changes - hopefully for the better - without compromising my core values. I don't like the idea of becoming stagnant, outdated, or irrelevant, so Wikipedia is pretty much a perfect fit for me.

Organization
Some of these are probably impossible:
 * Normalize everything under one domain. (For example, en.wikimedia.org, es.wikipedia.wikimedia.org, de.commons.wikimedia.org. . . .)
 * Continue to allow, say, wikipedia.com to redirect to the appropriate page.
 * Under the new domain system, change the user system so that user pages/edits/contributions are all one a single page, if the user desires. (For example: wikimedia.org/User:John.) This would involve some kind of normalization as well. 3NF is good.

Aesthetic

 * Make category pages much more appealing.
 * Align the icons and text on Portal:Browse et. al.
 * Change the vertical lines (|) to dots (·) on said pages.
 * Forget the hierarchy on said pages; go for visual appeal.

Ease-of-use

 * Somehow categorize Wikipedia:How to . . . articles better, possibly all stemming from one category. Highlights could be shown on the Community Portal.
 * Don't blindly divide categories by letter, but rather by supercategory.

Feel free to respond below, if you are one of those enlightened people.
 * Why are "Main Page" and "Community Portal" capitalized, whereas the other members of the navigation box are not?
 * Why is Wikipedia the only Wikimedia website to capitalize "Community Portal"?
 * Why can we not reach a consensus on the Main Page design?
