When someone posts a question about some movie they saw 20 years ago, can only remember some of the plot but not the title. I find it fulfilling to be able to dig around and answer their question.

Is there a cure for wikiholicism? For that strong wikidiction that keeps you up at night and leaves you longing for more? C’mon. You know what I’m talking about… The urge to recategorize, revert and edit when you should be working, eating, sleeping or spending time with your significant other. So is there a remedy? My guess is probably not because even our resident M.D.s have found the insatiable appetite for sharing knowledge incurable. Our Featured Contributor of the week knows all too well what I’m talking about. He’s Mathdoc – Answers.com contributorship at its finest. But like the rest of us, he is verifiably addicted. Don’t believe me? Read on to discover the name of his daughter’s dog… (and other interesting tidbits and noteworthy accomplishments!)

(Wiki is Weimaraner). Melanie is working on her English credential. I have a wonderful wife named Judy who loves to bake. I am working on getting her to answer more baking questions.

Answering questions. I love the math questions, but sometimes I just love to look at the main page and answer some of the random unanswered questions.

Mountain, mountain man! I wanna’ be a mountain man! Okay, so the lyrics might be a little bit off – but this week’s Featured Contributor is certainly not. He’s MountainMan391 (a/k/a Keith) – a Category Supervisor, Bronze Contributor and one of Answers.com’s rockin’ knowledge ninjas (or is that pirate?)! When he is not busy spending time in the wild outdoors, field herping or winning prestigious contests for model rockets, you can find him watching over Norse Mythology or just fixing some of the grammar and spelling blunders that sometimes pop up on Recent Site Activity. Here’s more on our very own MountainMan391:

What is your Answers.com user name and the history behind it?

My user name on Answers.com is MountainMan391; it derives from a nickname that I received from my friends. You see, I have a beard and I spend a lot of time out in the woods, so they think that I look and act a lot like a 19th Century mountain man. The name just kind of stuck.

Do you have any pets?

Yes, I currently have two dogs, two cats, a red rat snake and a green anole lizard

Where do you live, how long have you lived there and why do you like the area?

I live in the small rural town of Pequea, Pennsylvania and have for about four years. Some of my friends make jokes about me living in the “boondocks“, but, as a huge outdoorsman, I am absolutely in love with the area. I get to wake-up to the sight of the beautiful Susquehanna River right outside of my window; sometimes even to the sight of a bald eagle swooping down and catching a fish from the water. I live within a 20 minute hike to a magnificent limestone cliff named House Rock, a cavern called Wind Cave and a trail system that reaches all the way to Baltimore, MD. What’s more, I’m within an hour, by car, of the Chesapeake Bay. There are only two other places where I would want to live: the Colorado Rocky Mountains and the Alaskan wilderness.

Where did you grow up and do you have any special memories of your childhood?

I grew up in a semi-urban town right outside of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania named Lemoyne. However, I do not have many special memories of the place.

What is your key area of knowledge, interest or expertise?

My greatest passion in life is the great outdoors, and I became interested in it when I first moved here to Pequea. Before this town, I’ve always lived in an urban environment. I think the reason why I love being out in the woods so much is just the freedom and sense of calm and peace that I get from it.

I also love studying Norse culture and mythology, mainly for religious reasons; I follow a religion called Ásatrú (or Nordisk Siðr), the revival of the beliefs and practices of ancient, pre-Christian Scandinavia.

Do you have any collections or hobbies?

I don’t have any collections, but I do have plenty of hobbies: hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, canoeing, spelunking, animal watching, field herping, model rocketry and making pyrotechnics, to name a few.

What are a few random facts about yourself?

I am obsessive compulsive when it comes to proper grammar and spelling, so called “text-talk” really bothers me; and my predominantly dark-brown beard has a random patch of red in it, LOL.

What accomplishments are you proud of?

Well, I was a national finalist in the Team America Rocketry Challenge, the largest model rocket contest in the world, for three years in a row. The final year, my team came in 15th place out of 700 teams.

What are your special goals or dreams?

I don’t have too many, but I am working on obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in environmental biology, and I would love to someday own a cabin in Alaska.

How would you describe yourself or personality?

I consider myself a pretty open-minded and approachable guy; I love to learn new things. However, I do have my limits, and I will stand loyal to my values, my gods, my family and my friends.

What brought you to Answers.com?

I was looking for an online community of sorts, where I could learn new things and contribute what I know.

What do you get when you add a worldwide community of intelligent, awesome contributors to a nifty wiki Q&A platform? Answers.com of course!

He has an impressive formula for answering interesting (and often difficult) questions and the power to come up with great a solution for keeping things fair and balanced. To sum it up, MathTeacherGuy always equals greatness!

What accomplishments are you proud of?

I helped start operations at two Silicon Valley companies, both of which had successful initial public offerings and both employed lots of people. This gives me a great feeling of satisfaction that I contributed something of value.

What are your special goals or dreams?

Most of my special goals and dreams are far beyond the realms of reasonable probability. I would like to see a lot more of the world.

How would you describe yourself or personality?

Sometimes I am Eeyore (from Winnie the Pooh); sometimes I am Wally (from Dilbert); sometimes I am Yoda (from Star Wars).

I like a chance to help people out.

What keeps you coming back to Answers.com?

I enjoy a challenging question and the chance to answer it in a way that suits me. I like fair and balanced answers to complex questions.

WikiAnswers contributors tend to be enigmatic creatures – intelligent, passionate and driven on the surface, complex, multifaceted and extremely adroit behind the wiki exterior. The typical contributor is well-versed on one or more topics, has extreme writing skills and a handful of hobbies that are both mainstream and atypical. This week’s Featured Contributor is no exception. In fact, he can go from playing the viola in a soft, yet masterful manner to shooting up some bad guys in an intense online role-playing battle. Introducing Violaman0910…music to our wiki ears:

What is your WikiAnswers user name and the history behind it?

My user name Violaman0910 has been around since I was about 12. It was my first e-mail address, and it’s always kind of stuck with me. The user name Violaman refers to the fact that I’m a musician who plays the stringed instrument the viola. My birthday is September 10th, which is the reason for the 0910.

David

I am 26 years old.

Where do you live, how long have you lived there and why do you like the area?

I live in Joliet, Illinois. We have been living in the area since we got married in January of 2009. The area is great because it’s close to both sets of parents, and we both love the city of Chicago, which is only a half-hour drive away. Chicago, as everyone knows, is a great town for food, entertainment, music and much more.

Where did you grow up and do you have any special memories of your childhood?

I grew up in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago. I have many fond memories of playing catch with my father, having cookouts and spending time with our big extended family (also in the area) on holidays and birthdays.

What educational information would you like to share?

I was homeschooled for the entirety of my 1-12 grades. I spent some time at Glenbard East High School in the Choir and chamber singers ensembles and orchestra.

I am currently a Security Officer, which pays the bills. I have been a private violin and viola teacher for the past 10 years, but currently have no students.

What is your key area of knowledge, interests or expertise?

I know a thing or two about science and astronomy, as well as philosophy and theology (and very random trivia). My education is in music, but I also love writing. I also have an intense curiosity of the world around me which leads me to love researching whatever piques my interest at the time.

My hobby would have to be video games. I have an unhealthy obsession with them. There’s something very satisfying about being able to virtually blow up your best friend with a bazooka and then have lunch with him afterward.

How would you describe yourself or personality?

I would describe myself as passionate and opinionated about a great many things, but also kind, generous and understanding of others.

What brought you to WikiAnswers?

I discovered WikiAnswers through some online Google research I was doing, and asked a few questions. I believe I got blocked once for asking too many questions in the same vain, which forced me to create an account (which then educated me of my mistake). I have since learned a lot about how WikiAnswers works.

What keeps you coming back to WikiAnswers?

I love researching questions that pique my interest - which is what has kept me answering questions on WikiAnswers. If I don’t know the answer to a particularly intriguing question, I look it up and share my new-found knowledge. (I have learned to cite my sources, though!)

What is your favorite WikiAnswers activity?

As a Supervisor, I love catching vandals and cleaning up after them. I tend to float from topic to topic looking for abuses of the site and correcting them, answering the question with accurate information and deleting any foul language or bullying, then warning or blocking the vandal (where appropriate). I also enjoy splitting questions that don’t match up and merging questions that do - though I have found that merging tends to be more tedious work.
