"My username is Chriswaterguy and I am a wikiholic."
- I cancelled my plans to live and work in China when I learnt they blocked Wikipedia.
I often read non-fiction books and mark things that I want to put into Wikipedia. I now read blogs and ask the writer to consider using an open license so we can adapt it for Appropedia,
- I'm a registered user of about
10 wikis (I've stopped counting, but way more than 10).
Yes I'm an addict. No, it's not a problem. I'm going to take a break, just as soon as I finish editing this...
Maybe I need a 12 step program...
- We admitted we were powerless over wiki-editing and our lives had become unmanageable.
- Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
- Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him/Her/It/Them.
- When that failed, we took responsibility for our own actions.
- Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
- Admitted the exact nature of our wrongs.
- Made a list of all the new experiences we had passed up because we were in a wiki-editing vortex, and became willing to try them all.
- Left the computer occasionally, in order to meet attractive people in real life, and flirt with them.
- Continued to take inventory and when we were wrong promptly reverted it.
- Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Her, praying only for knowledge of Her will for us and the power to carry that out.
- Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to wikiholics.
- Realized the irony of creating this notice.
