Hey, I'm Sam Hyde. Nice to meet ya.

My interests include basically anything that can be written about on Wikipedia - people, politics, plants, animals, etc. I find plants - especially conifers - interesting, and this is where I can contribute most.

History hasn't ever seen anything quite like Wikipedia - this collaborative effort has surpassed the expectations of just about everyone, probably even its founders. I remember stumbling upon Wikipedia in grade school when its default font was Times New Roman, and there were less than a hundred thousand articles. Now there are millions, covering almost every conceivable topic, from parasitic plants to the Battle of Tsushima to spelunking. Wikipedia flies under the radar because it isn't a powerful corporation making headlines in the stock market - but when one considers the hundreds of millions of Internet users across the globe that rely on it for basic information on just about everything, it becomes obvious there are few websites on the Internet more important or influential.

I can only hope that Wikpedia keeps up its spectacular success - I'm glad to do my small part to help it grow.

nothing else to say but-

Wiki to the max.
