Me in my office in 2025
Hi everyone,
I'm baaaaack!
I co-founded Wikipedia long ago. While I was gone for a long time, I did keep abreast what's been going on and how the system works, as a student and critic of Wikipedia and of the internet generally.
But as of fall 2025, I have returned, with the aim of helping Wikipedia in various ways to reform.
Most recently, I have been working on WikiProject Intellectual Diversity. This is not yet an approved WikiProject, but I am confident we will get enough supporters to make our application successful. If you too want Wikipedia to be reformed in ways that will make the project more open and welcoming to those of a more intellectually diverse body of contributors, please join!
For most of 2025, I developed Nine Theses on Wikipedia, which is partly an extended criticism and partly a reform proposal. Unlike much of my previous writing and speaking about Wikipedia over the past 20 years or so, this is not merely negative. It is a realistic plan to make Wikipedia better. I hope you will take it seriously.
All the best,
