I wish we could keep articles as clean as possible, follow the [[WP:STYLE|style manual]] and stop starting articles with big distracting boxes and messages meant for editors. If we want to say something to the editors of an article, we should do it on the talk page. That's what talk pages are there for. The articles should be about the article topic. Not about Wikipedia or the people editing it. We are here for the readers. |

I'm just one of the many thousand people editing here and who want wikipedia to be as complete, accurate and trust worthy as possible. I hope many more will join the project, become wikipedians and have fun contributing.
I started editing here in November 2004, and became an administrator in April 2005. I live in Oslo, Norway and have a Master's degree in theoretical physics from some 12 years back.
Rant
I detest many of the dominating boxes and tags being placed in various articles for self centered reasons and have written a rant about it.
I wish we could keep articles as clean as possible, follow the style manual and stop starting articles with big distracting boxes and messages meant for editors. If we want to say something to the editors of an article, we should do it on the talk page. That's what talk pages are there for. The articles should be about the article topic. Not about Wikipedia or the people editing it. We are here for the readers.
