Wikipedia-related stuff

I run a weblog about wikipedia. If you want me to write about a particular article/topic/concept/whatever, leave a note, or comment on a weblog post.

Various logos and graphics for wikipedia/wikimedia/wikimania.

My name's Ben Yates; I'm a technical writer, student, and keyboardist from Ann Arbor.
