User:Ed Poor

Userboxes This user has been on Wikipedia for 22 years, 6 months and 19 days. This user has been editing Wikipedia for more than ten years. This user is old enough to remember what a typewriter is.

I was one of the first 200 people to contribute regularly to Wikipedia, and I've served as a Mediator, an Admin, and a Bureaucrat.

The {{birth date and age}} template I created is used on over 700,000 Wikipedia pages, and was the major motivation for parser extensions (to reduce load on the server caused by the first version).

I find Wikipedia a useful resource, but it's not very well-written and is often inaccurate. Almost every time I dip into its pages, I find something that urgently needs fixing, and a few topics have unresolvable bias.
