Hello, I'm Jacob. I've made it my new year's resolution to start editing Wikipedia.
Why?
[edit]- Because it's a replacement for procrastination on social media sites and YouTube.
- Because it incentivises me to read more about the topics I'm interested in.
- Because I read a lot of Wikipedia, and contributing seems like the right thing to do.
Article areas of interest
[edit]- Western philosophy, specifically Alexius Meinong, Franz Brentano and the School of Brentano, and Martin Heidegger.
- Possibly some finance articles.
Why is your name yaqubroli?
[edit]I was told once that if I lost a bet, I'd have to legally change my name to Broly. I didn't end up doing this, but I did end up changing my online nickname to jacobroly. Then someone from Xinjiang told me my name in Uyghur would be Yaqub, and I thought that sounded cooler, so on everything I signed up for, I combined the two.
