German student with too much time on his hands. Misplaced Pages interests

I started with Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate Spider-Man (story arcs), Ultimate X-Men and Ultimate X-Men (story arcs) in December 2004 as one of several users with the anon handle User:131.246.120.30 (we have the same uni proxy). Then, I wanted to contribute as a "real" Wikipedian. I consider the four articles above a bit as my brainchildren, as I helped growing them from small stubs into the big info sources they are today.

I likes Wikis well enough that I wrote my thesis on this!

My idea of a good Misplaced Pages article

This is the guideline I follow when editing. Note that I do not claim to follow these 100%, as I am only human :)

Concise: Every sentence I write should progress the article.
Encyclopaedic: I try to stay matter-of-fact, logical and constructive, doing my best Mr. Spock impression.
Representative: When going into a controversial topic, let both sides voice their thought.
Balanced: If I criticise, I apply the plus-minus-plus scheme, thus write acclaim, then criticism, then finish with acclaim. (BTW, in the then HEAVILY anti-Brown The Da Vinci Code article, I pointed this out and was branded as a Dan Brown groupie. :D)
Sourced: Info without source is worthless. IMHO this is the big achilles heel in Misplaced Pages. It can utterly kill your article, see John Byrne. If you do intangible research, like e.g. explaining why Steve Nash is such a good point guard, then pick some hard data and extrapolate the thing you want to say.
