User:SteveCof00/About you

Hello Wikipedians! My name is Steve (which is what I'm comfortable revealing on here for now) and this is my user page. After 5 years as a member here, this page has mostly been a collection of userboxes and an infobox, with not much else, but I intend to expand on this page in the future. For a list of what I have done on Wikipedia thus far, check here. Although I visit many articles all over Wikipedia (which can be very hard to pry oneself away from), most of my editing is concentrated on transportation-related articles here.

I do consider myself an inclusionist...to a point. While it is true that Wiki is not paper, computer memory and bandwidth are finite; articles still have to load onto a computer. Also, adding meaningful contributions to an article (either already referenced and verified or with high capability for doing so) beats adding random information that will just sit there. Despite this, I still feel there is a place for trivia sections in an article. Why? In some cases, the format is the best way for presenting that information and re-writing the article to remove the trivia section could actually detract from the quality of the article. Sometimes, simpler is also better as well.
