Hello I am Asa. I am a Christian youth minister and I live in London, UK. WikiWiki and especially Wikipedia blows my mind. i discovered it when it was slashdotted in July 2001 and started tinkering with various bits.

Some articles I have messed with

:Poets added R. S. Thomas
:Comic books and strips started kinda
:Comic book someone else split this off from the above. good job too
:European languages just added Welsh
:Cultural imperialism sigh... i give up
:Biblical canon comprehensive, but confusing at the mo
:Wales need to say more about my own country!
:Famous Programmers
:Programmer
:Rupert Murdoch corperate censorship!
:History of Malaysia

Significant contributions to
:Allah I brought up the moon god origins stuff
:Yahweh this has developed quite nicely. The first versions were just plain wrong. Now its pretty acurate
:Jehovah still doesn't feel right. perhaps merge with Yahweh?

:Pope Damasus I very happy with this. 99% is my work
:Film history/China was disgusted at the lack of Hong Kong people. Needs loads of work!

Musings and Projects

*Early September 2001: searched for "Linux" and modified most references to "Linux" the OS to read "GNU/Linux". Exceptions: personal opinion (Wikipedian's personal pages, /Talk pages and general reporting of opinion), quotes (book and essay names) and titles (e.g Mandrake Linux).

* So someone put the Linuxs back annonymously after a bit of a row in the Talk on GNU/Linux. It was certainly an interesting experiment anyway :)

The Asa is the collective noun given to the Norse pantheon and includes both the Aesir? and the Vanir?; the Asa are not merely synonymous with the Aesir?. Moreover, the term Asa frequently has a much more religious connotation than the simple terms Aesir and Vanir, indicative of worship: it is the root of the contemporary re-implementation of pre-Christian Norse beliefs, Asatru. The membership of the gods to the Asa is often referred to directly within the Edda as e.g. Asa-Thor or Asa-Loki.

See Norse mythology, Asatru
