I was an occassional editor & donor here, but due to some hostile experiences here, including being threatened via email, & inconsistent enforcement of policies, I am now inactive.

Some things I work on here:

• topics that I have come to Wikipedia for some information about
• interests: jazz & improvisational arts, historical drama, art & culture, international relations (especially Asia)
• systemic biases in Wikipedia
• WP:DEADEND pages

Why I volunteer here: In an interconnected world, our social stability depends on our collective ability to integrate varied perspectives and beliefs. I think what distinguishes us as people is moral reasoning (analogy, empathy, etc.).

Picture of the day

The Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, is a choral symphony, the final complete symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1822 and 1824. It was first performed in Vienna on 7 May 1824. The symphony is regarded by many critics and musicologists as a masterpiece of Western classical music. It is one of the best-known works in common practice music and one of the most frequently performed symphonies worldwide. Symphony No. 9 was the first example of a major composer scoring vocal parts in a symphony. In the 20th century, an instrumental arrangement of the chorus was adopted by the Council of Europe, and later the European Union, as the Anthem of Europe. This photograph displays page 12 of Beethoven's original manuscript and is currently held in the collection of the Berlin State Library.Manuscript credit: Ludwig van Beethoven

Some pages I watch that are vandalized at least occasionally: Radcliffe Line.

I took Radcliffe Line from a collection of uncited opinions to a readable, well-cited article that has even made it to the main page. It still needs work on details and citations. It does not attract a lot of scholarly interest despite that fact that the boundary has ongoing geo-political consequences and implications for foreign-policy.
