Jumping cheese is taking a wikibreak to attend college and will be back on Wikipedia once school is over, though some editing may be done from time to time. Talk page messages might not receive a timely response.

[edit] Jump The Cheese!!!
I first stumbled across Wikipedia sometime in 2004, but neglected to create an account until December 11, 2005. I started to become actively involved in Wikipedia at around January 2006.
I spend most of my free time on Wikipedia expanding articles, reverting various vandalism, adding pics, and other random stuffs. I hate disruptive users.
Anyways, here is my very basic info...
Jumping cheese is a resident of Cerritos, CA.
[edit] Behind the name
I chose the username "Jumping cheese" because I'm a high jumper and I hate cheese. Seriously. The "cheese" is lowercased because I accidentally forgot to capitalize it when I created my account. I only noticed my mistake after I made like ten edits, so I didn't want to create a new account and lose those edits. As I later found out, "Jumping cheese" (also known as "Casu marzu") is actually a real type of Italian cheese with larvae that jump on your face when you try to eat the cheese, hence for the recommendation to wear eye protecting (cheese fly larvae squirming in your eyes can't be good).
Here are some nicknames other Wikipedians have given me:
- JC
- J Cheese
- Cheese
- Mr. Cheese
- Cheesy
- Jumping
If you are really really bored, you can take a look at how my signature has changed over time. Enjoy!

[edit] Competition for Wikipedia?
Now that looks much cooler than a barnstar, see what the handle says
The U.S. Department of Defense has created its own version of Wikipedia, named "Intellipedia" (clever name, I have to admit) to discuss non-sensitive intelligence info. It uses the same MediaWiki software that Wikipedia uses, making editing a snap. Intellipedia contains lots of non-encyclopedic content and POV is perfectly fine (yeah, the agencies bicker among themselves). It already has over 28,000 pages and 3,600 users. Instead of getting a awkward barnstar, Intellipedians are awarded shovels for good gardening. Unfortunately, it's not open to the public. Darn.
[edit] Selling Out Wikipedia?
- MyWikiBiz
A website that creates stub pages consisting of "three to five brief sentences" for businesses, all for the incredibly low price of $49. My thought: which company has enough money to dish out $49 for service that could be accomplished in five minutes by any Wikipedian? Paying the money itself would take more time than creating a stub class page.
- Reward Board
The place Wikipedians pay other Wikipedians to do stuff they're too lazy to do in the first place.

- My thought: now that the floodgates are open, will Wikipedia evetually become like other wikis, with "Ads by Google" nested on the side of every page?
tfs?

The Priestley Riots took place from 14 July to 17 July 1791 in Birmingham, England; the rioters' main targets were religious Dissenters, most notably the religious and political controversialist, Joseph Priestley. The riots started with an attack on a hotel that was the site of a banquet organized in sympathy with the French Revolution. Then, beginning with Priestley's church and home, the rioters attacked or burned four Dissenting chapels, twenty-seven houses, and several businesses. Many of them became intoxicated by liquor that they found while looting, or with which they were bribed to stop burning homes. A small core could not be bribed, however, and remained sober. They burned not only the homes and chapels of Dissenters, but also the homes of people they associated with Dissenters, such as members of the scientific Lunar Society. While the riots were not initiated by Prime Minister William Pitt's administration, the national government was slow to respond to the Dissenters' pleas for help. Local Birmingham officials seem to have been involved in the planning of the riots, and they were later reluctant to prosecute any ringleaders. Those who had been attacked gradually left, leaving Birmingham a more conservative city than it had been throughout the eighteenth century. (more...) |
