I'm "ProfessorPaul," also known as (simply) Paul. I discovered Wikipedia in the spring of 2004 (while I was teaching an Economics class for a community college), but did not realize its real use and potential. I used it over and over again (as a reference source in my American Government class and my U.S. History class), but did not actually join until April, 2006.

Since then, I have made over 3000 edits (3000 edits? Wow! I need to get a life). I enjoy Wikipedia very much; to me, this is "recreation."

• Wikipedia gets you higher than using illicit drugs;

• Wikipedia is safer than safe sex;

• Wikipedia is less frustrating than golf;

• Wikipedia is more secure than a bond fund;

• Wikipedia is the Reason God Made Oklahoma;

• Wikipedia is cheaper than Viagra (and Cialis);

• Wikipedia is the real reason why Bob is smiling;

• Wikipedia is so easy, that even a caveman could edit it;

• Wikipedia is much less mysterious than the Da Vinci Code;

• Finally, it's not nice to fool Mother Nature, or Wikipedia.

Editing Wikipedia is fun, but Wikipedia also needs people to create articles and categories. So--the list of 57 articles (and 4, now 3 categories) below owe their existence to me. Creating an article is not without its pratfalls: out of 59 articles I have written, 2 have been deleted. Don't let the potential of deletion discourage you, gentle reader.

The 58 articles I have written (in chronological order) are:

• Lyle H. Boren (combined and redirected to Lyle Boren)
• Clem McSpadden
• Oklahoma Democratic Party
• Oklahoma Congressional Districts

• Created Category:Bermuda Triangle in December 2006; hope it does not get deleted (cross your fingers);
• Created Category:Famous Diaries in December 2006; will work on populating it; Category became a candidate for deletion; result was "Rename." Category was renamed: Category:Diaries on February 17, 2007.
• Created Category:Hospitals in Oklahoma in January 2007; there are over 150 hospitals in Oklahoma; I will work to populate this category.

I could be almost ANYWHERE editing, expanding, or creating an article for Wikipedia; lately, I find myself more and more at one of the following locations:

• List of people who have disappeared
• (Oklahoma Wiki Project) (they need articles; I am working on it)

OK--I was attempting to compose a "Top Ten List" (as it were) of my favorite movies--and it only took me a year to figure it out. Enjoy.

• 2. The Sound of Music
• 3. Patton

• 5. Fiddler on the Roof
• 6. Armageddon
