Originally from rural Minnesota, I currently live in Lake Wobegon, Minnesota and work at a school. My formal education is in the areas of poetry, espionage and futbol. In my free time I serf on the line and the interwebs and dabble with amateur radio contesting and birding.

Pet Peeves
Wikipedia pet peeves include overuse of the words nowadays, increasingly, famous and also. I am disappointed when the lead paragraph tells me that the subject of the article is a term that describes, refers to or is used for something (I already knew that). Another is repeating the same thought three or four times in the same sentence. Sometimes less is more.

Everything in Wikipedia should be noted, so why are you telling the reader that? If you find something that should not be noted, do not hesitate to remove it from the article. If there is reason to believe something, why isn't a justification present in the form of a reference, or is this a code phrase for original research?
