OK a fairly brief introduction. My name is Robert Haskell. I decided to read Wikipedia and to write about my exerience. This idea was spurred by a book I read, where the author read the entire Encyclopedia Britannica.

I am blogging about it. I do not reference the GDL in every blog. I have mentioned it, and I am trying to follow the spirit of Wikipedia when I write about it. Of course, I did originally hope to publish something, but unless I find some sort of loophole, (ok, and a publisher huh? Oh, and someone who wanted to read it!) I don't think anything will come to fruition in that area.

Why read it? Nobody actually asks me that question. It is always "How are you going to do that?". To be honest, the amount of work it would take to keep track of changes in things I have already read would be daunting in the least. So I am dating as I read. I am writing a lot more than what would show up in book form, but I figure I can edit something together later. Take lots of notes now.

I have a system using my favorites button in my Explorer toolbar. It should ork out fairly well in the long run, but at the moment, technically, I haven't read one entry yet in the actual Wikipedia. I have been reading through the help pages, the contents pages, the glossaries. Organizing that has been practically nuts.

Maybe I just need a life. Was this succint enough as an introduction?
