I think this is kind of my user home page. I'm not sure how that's different from my Talk Page, but I'm sure I will soon learn.

Wow, how does a wiki keep track of all the changes to all the different types of pages (not just articles)?

I must read about the history of wikis in general and Wikipedia in specific.

Hello to anyone reading this. If you are reading this, please let me know somehow. This is all so new to me.

My name is Brian. I have been relying on Wikipedia (can we use "WP" for Wikipedia?) for a couple of years, I guess. I had heard and eventually saw firsthand that the nature of a wiki can sometimes cause [is this bold?] or allow information creep in that is not very useful or perhaps inaccurate. But I like Wikipedia all the same, and since I'm a casual reader and not a research scientist, it works for me.

[I used a keyboard return/return here. Did it translate into a line break? I doubt it.] I'll use line breaks now.

Early on I edited for punctuation and grammar some glaring mistakes in an otherwise acceptable, informative and presumable otherwise acceptable paragraph or two, but have never felt the need to discuss or edit actual content -- utnil today. So I created a user account and added a discussion segment about the entry for equinox, of all things. [I am thinking that simply typing two leading and trailing apostrophes is an easier way for getting italics.] Italics. [Did that work?] I was working in teh Sandbox, but somebody kept deleting my practice text before I could examine it closely.

I sure hope this is indeed my home page. I'm sure someone will let me know if it's not for my own exposition. Surely no one will edit it, eh? We will see. W7632416 03:46, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
