Haliotis jacnensis, commonly known as the Jacna abalone, is a species of sea snail in the abalone family, Haliotidae. It is found in the western Pacific Ocean at depths between sea level and 50 metres (160 ft), around the coasts of American Samoa, Fiji, Guam, Indonesia, Japan, Micronesia, New Caledonia, Niue, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Philippines, the Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu. H. jacnensis features an oblong–ovate shell that varies in size between 7 to 25 millimetres (0.28 to 0.98 in). The shell is reddish-orange with a silvery interior and features irregular scaly ridges. This picture shows five views of a H. jacnensis shell, 18 millimetres (0.71 in) in length, found on Masbate Island in the Philippines. Photograph credit: H. Zell Archive More featured pictures

I'm an academic in Information Systems, although my undergraduate and most of my postgraduate work was in philosophy. I'm interested in Fantasy and Science Fiction, Adelaide, Philosophy, Anime and a number of computing and Information Systems subjects — especially as regards Knowledge Management, which is my main area of academic study.

I tend to edit widely, as often I wish to improve articles because I see them as important for Wikipedia, rather than because I'm interested in the topic (although I have rather eclectic tastes and reasonably liberal sentiments). I have access to a number of good databases thanks to academia, so I'm not bad at referencing, and I'm always willing to give it a shot when asked. Generally I'll help wherever I can, and I particularly enjoy that feeling which comes from being useful. :) I've also got one of those new digital camera things, and I enjoy taking photos.

Although she rarely edits (try as I might to convince her otherwise) my wife has been known to use her Ruth-AnneMJ account. So we may edit from the same network location.

Articles

The extent of my involvement in these articles varies — from major editing and almost complete rewrites, to simply adding references to an already excellent page or helping to establish notability. Drive-by-edits, however, where I add just a couple of references or make some small changes, don't make the list — if the article is here, I'm hoping to make some sort of significant input. I've listed them here mostly so that I can get quick access to them when required. I'm also listing the status of the articles, so that I can keep track, but this doesn't mean that I'm claiming credit for the status: it may simply be that it was already a good or featured article, but I added extra information here and there. Plus, the single coolest aspect of Wikipedia, from my perspective, is that articles are collaborative endeavors. :)
