Several years ago, when I was about fourteen, I wrote most of communitarianism and did some work on political spectrum, same-sex marriage, and the Nolan chart.

Since then I mostly correct only grammar and obvious factual errors, when I come across them.

Beyond Wikipedia

I am a student at the University of California, Berkeley.

Political spectra

I proposed a new model of the political spectrum. Though I now believe political spectra in general to be highly flawed conceptually, I see my proposal as an improvement over existing models like the Nolan Chart.

Proposal: Wikibate

Wikibate or Wiki Debate. In retrospect that was not the best choice of name. I was young and innocent.

Mozilla

I solved Bug 222799.
