I'm Dan Kindsvater from Randleman, North Carolina, USA. I have worked for many years in a law office, I'm a long-time member of the ACLU, but I have always been interested in robots. I passed the relevant doctoral exams a few years ago. I'm really enjoying the time I'm spending on robotics on Wikipedia and Wikia...I learn something new every day.

Current Projects

 * 1) Category:Robotics on Wikipedia: &mdash; I've made some edits to help pages conform to WP:MOS, and I'm trying to figure out how to make the content easier to find and more accessible to the layman (which would include me), particularly where it has relevance to cheap, useful robots for the home and yard.
 * 2) robots.wikia.com. Most of the content when I found it had all the links broken, and the admin and active users were long gone.  I'm the admin now, and I'm making a push for a more active user community.
 * 3) Wikipedia's Manual of Style‎ &mdash; I try to keep up with WP:MOS.
 * 4) The Wikia chat channel...you can find me there most of the time! Type my username to page me.

I've reaped the benefits of Wikipedia for years, but I stayed away from editing at Wikipedia and Wikia until this year because it seemed like a lot to learn. Now that I'm here...well, yes, there's quite a lot to learn, but only because I want to. What I didn't expect is how much fun it is around here...I meet people that I love to talk with in every subject I'm interested in. I'm never leaving! &mdash; Dan Dank55 13:38, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
