User:Orlandocat

Hi, I'm orlandocat (Virginia Woolf's Orlando, not Orlando in the US).I have developed a keen interest in the goings-on in the wiki world and have spent quite some time trying to work out how the site functions; how it is mediated; whether it's a realiable resource; and problems with instability and substance. I have concluded that it is highly credible resource (although often unstable) and therefore, I should contribute in any way I can - hoping that I can of course. I am a teacher (uni) and hopefully come to this with some knowledge of the base stuff such as grammar and syntax, but also the big stuff as well, which is actually where I would like to focus my contributions ie: literature, gender studies, definitions, big ideas etc... My passion is philosophy (of which I am a novice) and classic literature - I have used wikipedia on many occasions for a base resource and hope to see wikipedia being elevated to a much higher standing within the academic community. Ra ra democratisation of knowledge!!!
