I have recently contributed to
Queueing theory,
Queueing model and related articles. In 2006 I undertook an undergraduate course in the subject and find Wikipedia is lacking the relevant material covered in the course.
I also contributed to
Ride theory and discovered that it was not what I thought it might be, but something completely different. The lesson is that Wikipedia is not (always) correct,(or even close to the truth, sometimes).
First Impression of Wikipedia
I found Wikipedia on 28 December 2002 (UTC) and haven't been able to stay away! It is addictive and my latest meal went cold in the oven about 4 hours ago. I think I am a
Wikipediaholic already! - noted 13:14 Dec 30, 2002 (UTC)
Early Wikipedia activity
Significant Articles written from scratch, (or a stub) include:
Almon Strowger,
Strowger - Because he deserves a good biography on the net, as the internet would not have been possible without him and his invention - the automatic
telephone exchange
Dial as in telephone and because
Rotary dial is only half the story.
After this I discovered the contributions link identified all the articles I contributed to and gave up recording what I was doing, because I was so active editing I didn't have time to document. --

I would, now, probably characterise much of my early activities and behaviour as that of a
wikignome. I did tone down my activity after a while and later moved on to participate in a number of other wikis. Also, a lack of activity here for a (long) while does not mean I have stopped being involved in Wikipedia, just that there is not have enough time in my life to to contribute meaningfully. --

Possibilities
Some articles I am (still) thinking about or are interested in:
